beady eyes to which the terms loving
spirited could never be applied
The Arabs express their ideas OF wo-
mans beauty, by saying that she has
the eyes of the gazelle, and the eye is
ever the theme of their song. Homer
repeats the epithet, "ox-eyed queen"
when ever he alludes to Juno, and IN
deed beautiful eyes are not confined TO
the human race, but give likewise ex-
preston to the head of the horse, the
dog, and many of the nobler animals.
The most beautiful eyes have long
rather than wide opening. Eyelids
which are widely expanded SO as to give
round form to the eye, like those ofthe
cat and owl, indicate ability to see much
with little light, and receive readily
mental impressions from surrounding
objects; on the contrary, eyelids which
more closely cover over the eye, denote
less facility of impression, but clearer
insight, more definite ideas, and greater
steadiness and permanenee Of action.
Tbere has been great deal said and
written on the sublect Oh vsiious e''iofed
eyes. Arranging all the various coioreo
eyes in two grand classes, light ana DARK
we would say that the DARK lhdlcate
power, and the light delicacy' DARK
eyes arc tropical, ana as an American
physiognemist has observed, icy
may be sluggish, the forces they betok-
en- may often be latent, but they are
there, and may be called into action
Their fires may sleep, but they are like
slumbering volcanoes. Such eyes gen
erall y accompany a dark complexion
with much strength of character, pow
erlul but not subtle intellect, or strong
passion" Light eyes, on the other hand
belong naturally to temperate regions,
and they are temperate eyes. They may
glow with genial warmth, but they new
er burn with a consuming fire like the
torrid black eyes. The accompanying
complexion is generally fair, and the
hair light, and persons having them are
mostly amiable in their dispositions, re-
fined in their taste. highly SUSCEPTIBLE of
Improvements, and are mentally active
and versatile. The light-eyed races
have attained higher degree of civil
zation than the dark eyed races. When
the complexion and hair are dark, and
the eyes light, there is generally COM
bination ofstren5th with delicacy.
| Black eyes are of tour kinds. First,
the small, brilliant, hard black eyes,
which look like beads, and which one
might crack like a cherry stone; second
ly, the glowing cavernous black eyes
hiding smoldering fires; thirdly, the soft,
swimming, sleepy, black eve, and
fourthly, the large well-set and finally
formed black eye, "solemn as the hush
of midnight, still as the mountain like,
vet full of thought, intellect, passion and
feeling, which can rise in storm till the
quiet surface glows again; an eye that
has no need of words, that smiles, but
knows She worth of tears; an eye that
goes straight to the heart with single
glance, and never more leaves it, an eye
that does not e"ter like the blue, but
draws you steadily and surely on, and
touches chords in you which have been
untouched before, and can never wake
for alesser power again." The first may
be the eye of a vain beauty and belle;
the second may be found in many an in
mate of Bedlam; the third laDguishes in
The harem oil the Turk, and the fourth is
