Yes. Pbysiognomy is true science.
The philosopher and the fool, the vir
tuous man and the debaucher, each
have written upon their features by ma
lures own pen their respective charac-
tiers. Colonel NJ. G. Galloway, the able
editor of the Memphis Avalanche, is
built upon the angular principle. Is
six feet two or three inches in hight;
features strongly marked, high forehead,
high cheek bones, compressed lips, soft
gray eyes, light brown hair, and long,
high head. Combativeness, destructive
ness, comparison and language, are all
large, which enable. him to excel as q
writer of whitening invective and cutting
sarcasm. Z Caussiity added 10 the combi
nation renders him an original writer.

and Friendship impart to him unswerv-
ing devotion 10 principle, rendering him
high minded, honorable. and, - withai,

John r Ffayser, NJ. ID. has and does
now occupy prominent part in the his
tory Of this city and State. Among the
early settlers here his name has become
inseparably linked with the history Of the
State He is man of medium hight,
dark hair, dark eyes-is possessed Of q
wiry brain and body. His large refsc-
tives, combined with his quick percep-
tons, have conferred upon him such an
astonishing degree Of success, in the
practice of his profession, that his name
has become a household word in the
sunny Southland.
But winter. lingering. chills tho lap of May"
The clock has just struck eleven. Now
the streets of the city are silent, for the
shades of night cover it with black wings.
Now and then, only here and there, %
heard the heavy tread of the night watch
going his rounds, or the hurried step Of.
retreating conscious guilt, each of which,
as they reverberate and echo down the
lanes and windings where q few moments
before all was hustle and confusion,
utters whitening satire upon the pomp
Of busy man, warning the slumberers
that they, too, ere long will join the innu-
merable caravan that has journeyed on
to the gloomy and chilly grave, where
"Silence, villainously still, sits en-
throned.
Now, the busy minutes, as they fit by,
are fast digging the grave of the dear
month of May. The tiny seconds, as
they glide by on noiseless wings, are hur-
riedly weaving the winding sheet Of her
that win soon lie side by side with her
sister months in the silent tomb of the
"long, misty, forgotten past" to be
Joined by the cycles Of coming ages,
that shall measure the duration of all
things terrestrial. SrECIAL.
