LARGE EYES.


Large eyes have always been admired, es-
pecially in women, and may be considered
essential to the highest order of beauty, in
almost every description of which from
Helen of Troy to any modern heroine, they
held prominent place We read Of large
spiritual eyes, and eyes loving large, and
Of little sparkling, beady eyes, to which
the epithets spiritual ana loving are
never applied.
An Arab expresses bis. idea of the beauty
of a woman by saying she had the eye of a
gazel,e. This is the burden of his song.
The timidity, genteness, and innocent fear
in the eye Of the deer are compared with
the molesty of the young girl Let her be
as the loving hind and the pleasant roe.
Persons with large eyes give US the i'm
preston of being vide awake, and ready
for action; while small eyed people have
more generally a sleepy look and sluggish
temperament or habit of body Dr. Red
deld observes, that persons with large eyes
have very lively emotions, think very rap
idly and speak fast, unless there be a pre-
dominence of the phlegmatic temperament.
Of persons with small eyes the reverse is
true. The former are quick and spontaneous
in their feelings aud in the expression of
them, and are therefore, simple, ike the
Scotch Swiss and all who inhabit noun
famous regions The latter are slow and
calculating, and therefore, artful ike the
gipsies a people who generally inhabit
level countries. There is a connection be-
tween activity and the ascending and de-
scending activities, fact which we evince
in running I'D and down stairs, and which
an active horse exhibits when he comes to a
hilli and hence the Scotch, Highlanders, as
well as the sheep, goat, chamois, &C., have
very large eyes and very great activity.

THE SUNDAY STONE.

In one Of the English coal mines there is
a constant formation of limestone, caused
by the trickling of water through the rocks.
This water contains a great many particles
of lime, which are deposited in the mine,
and, as the water passes off, these become
hard, and form limestone. This stone would
always be white. like marble, were it not
that men are working in the mine, and as
the black dust rises from the coal, it mixes
with the soft lime, and in that way black
stone is formed
Now, in the njghts when there Is no coal
dust rising, the stone is white; then again,
The next day, when the miners are at work,
another black layer is formed, and so on
alternately, black and white, through the
week, until Sunday comes Then, if the
miners keep holy the Sabbath, much lar
ger layer of white stone viii be formed than
before. There will be the white stone Of
Saturday night, and the whole of Sunday,
so that every seventh day the white layer
viii be about three times as thick as any OF
the others. But if they work on the Sab
bath, they see it marked against them in the
stone. Hence the miners call it 'The Sun
day Stone"
Perhaps, many who now break the Sab
bath, would try to spend it better if there
were a Sunday Stone where they could
sec their unkept Sabbaths with their black
marks.
But God needs no such record on earth to
know how all our Sabbaths are spent His
record is kept above. All our Sabbath deeds
are written there, and we shall see them at
the last
Be very careful to keep your Sabbath
pure and ,chae, and not allow the dust Of
worldliness and sin to tarnish the purity Of
the blessed day.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep ii
holy. ~ Christian Treasury

distinguished origin a matter of personal
merit, or obscure origin a matter of per

A REMARKABLE ENCOUNTER. "A re-
markable, though plausible story comes
from Bodega Bay, California, of a terrific
battle between a sperm whale and number
of swordfsh, which resulted in the defeat
of the whale. The fight was witnessed by a
farmer ploughing in his field near the coast,
only few miles north of the Golden
Gate" The sea was smooth, and the first
indication of the conflict was commotion
in the water nearly a mile from the shore,
but as the oowbatants rapidly approached
the land, their movements became distinctly
visible. The swordfsh were FIVE in number;
the whale, though displaying great activi-
ty, was no match for them. In making
their thrusts into the sides of the whale, the
swordfsh kept clear of his tail, one blow
from which would have been fatal to either
Of them. With maddened fury the whale
struck right and left, then dived to escape
his tormentors; but they followed quickly,
and soon brought him to the surface. Blood
was seen spirting from deep gashes in his
sides. The contest lasted nearly one hour,
when the whale with mighty effort flung
himself upon some low rocks and soon died,
Many persons from the neighboring village
of Peteluma went out to view the carcass.
1t was fifty or sixty feet in length, and there
were gashes two feet deep and six feet long
in its sides

TWO MEALS AnAY.

If any man or woman of forty five or over,
not engaged in hard natural labor, especially
the studious, sedentary and in door Kvers,
would take but two meals day for one
month, the second not being later than
three in the afternoon, and absolutely moth
ing afterwards, except it might be in some
eases an orange or lemon, or cup of warm
drink, such as tea, broma, sugar water, or
ice cream, there would be such change for
the better in the way of sound sleep, feel
ing on waking of having rested, an appetite
for breakfast, a buoyance Of disposition dur
ing the day, with geniality of temper and
manner that few, except the animal and the
glutton, would be willing to go back to the
flesh pots Of Egypt
Ben Ward, as he is frequently called,
one of the political lions of the west, has ta-
ken but two meals day for twenty years.
and if all sedentary persons, those who are
in door greater part Of their time, would
after the age of forty five observe the same
infexible rule, there can be no doubt, other
things being equal, that long years of happy
exemption from the ordinary ills of life
would be the result, The reason is that the
stomach would have time to rest, for recu-
peration, and would thus be able to perform
its part more thoroughly, making purer
blood, giving better sleep and securing a
good appetite for breakfast. Let any man
try it for ten days, taking the second meal
seven hours after the first, and abandon the
practice if he can.-HaHS Journal of
Health.

NEWSPAPER LAws.-We would call the special
attention Of Post Masters and subscribers to the
ISoUIRER to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws:
1. A Postmaster is required to give notice bg
eiter, returning paper does not answer the laWl
when a subscriber does not take his paper out Of
the Office and state the reasons TOR its not being
taken; and neglect to do SO makes the Postmas-
ter responsible to the publishers for the payment
,, ANY person who takes a paper from the Post
ofiee, whether directed to his name or another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
3. If a person orders his paper discontinued, be
must pay all arrearages, OF the publisher may
continue to send il until payment is made, and
ollect the whole amount, irbetke it be taken from
ibe g5lice not There can be no legal discontin-
uence until the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at a certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send the subscriber is bound to pay for
It, u he takes Il out Of the Post Q6ee. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what lie uses.
D. The courts have decided that refusing TO take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office,
or removing and having them unealled for, is
prima Iaeia evidence Of Intentional fraud.

AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE AT present
we have no architecture we build well, and
our streets show elegant and commo1ious
dwellings, costly and elaborate churches,
solidlooking banks, plain and useful public
schools, gorgeous hotels, and warehouses of
every style; but we look in vain for the ex-
preston Of an original idea-for the success
full working out Of distinct purpose. We
have buildings in every imaginable exag-
geration of bad taste and with every posi-
bic confusion of rule, order, and style-ag-
gravatingly pretensions and provokingly des-
titute of architectural fitness A Greek
temple stand for custom house, a college,
or bank prison is represented by Nor
man keep or an Egyptian temple court
house resembles barn or factory and 90
most Of our public buildings might be inter
changed without sacrifice of or detrimeut to
any rule of architectural propriety or ethe-
tic feeling. From an Article on EXPIRES

MANNERS. There is nothing which adds
so much to young mans success in life
next to honesty Of purpose-as the practice
of good breeding wherever he goes-on the
sidewalks, in the buggy; as well as in your
parlor. Ifyou meet man who refuses TO
give you balf the road, or to turn out on
the sidewalk, you may class him as man
with no sense of justice in his soul. When
we speak of polite men we do not wish to
be understood as referring to one who bows
low and takes off his hal to ladies and men
of position, and turns away from the poor
man; but we mean the honest face-the
man who always carries a smile on his
couutenance, and who never turns his face
away from the poor; we mean the man who
has kind salutation when he meets you
in the morning, and a pleasant good
night in the evening; man whose face is
always void of offence. Such man is
bound to succeed such one viii find
friends. Young men' be polite.

AIMLEss EDUCATION. Here is the rich
mans son who has been educated at great
expense and pains, and who has graduated
from college, and has come out gentleman.
He has studied not with view to fitting
himself for any avocation in life, but with
a view of being gentleman. He reads not
for the sake of knowing anything, but for
the sake of being a gentleman. Soon his
father breaks down, and be, when he is
about twenty-five years old, finds himself
poor mans son and dependent on his own
exertions. And he says to himself, ''What
shall do for living?' He asks bis feet,
and his feet say, II do not know" He
asks his head, aud it says, II never learned
anything about living. There is but one
man that can befriend this poor wretch, and
that is the sexton. Could anything be more
useless than such person? Can there be
anything more pitiable than such histories I?
And yet they are happening every day.

CLEANLINESS. "A neat, clean, fresh
aired, sweet, cheerful, weIl-arrauged house
exeFts moral as well as a physical in
huence over its inmates, and makes the
members of family peaceable and con-
siderate of each others feelings and hap
piness. The connection is obvious between
the state of mind thus produced, and habits
of respect for others, and for those high
duties and obligations which no laws can
enforce. On the contrary, a filthy, squalid,
noxious dwelling in which none of the de.
cencies of life can be observed, contributes
to make its inhabitants selfish, sensual, and
regardless of the feelings of others. And
the constant indulgence of such passions
renders them reckless and brutal; and the
transition is natural to propensities and hab-
its incompatible with respect for the prop
erty of others or for the laws. NJ z. hide

ONE KISS BEFORE WE PART.
By HOWARD GlYxDox.

One kiss before we part
But one for loves sweet sake
To sweeten for my heart,
The pain Of this mistake.
Your hand is in my own,
But your head is turned away
For the FIRST time and the last,
One little kiss, | pray
Nay though you love me not,
And stab me, saying "Frieud -
Nay though l be forgot
Before fortnight's end
Still, let me kiss the lips
That traitors are to love
What nothing but your hand
And that within its glove?
Because the Past was sweet
Because you are so dear;
Because no more we meet
In any future year
Be kind, and make me glad,
just for a moments space
Think shall be so sad,
And never see your face
One kiss before We part
And so you nothing meant?
Though be gone, your heart
VIII keep its old content.
Nay, not your cheek-your lips
claim them as my right
Small guerdon for great love
Before We say good night
All p! shy, uplookiug eyes
Not rue-though blue and rare
How dare you feign surprise
To know I hold you dear
What coyness will not yield,
Yet boldness, sure, may take
Well, then if not for loves,
One kiss-for Friendships sake
One kiss before we part
One little kiss, my dear
One kiss-to help my heart
Its utter loss to bear.
One kiss-to check the tears
Ny manhood scarce can stay
Or thus-I make it "Yes!
While you are saying "Nay :"
