ROUND EYES ARE GOOD.

EYES.


j. Simmons, NJ. D., is now writ
ing a very interesting treatise an
physiognomy. We extract from
advance sheets as follows:
The physiogmonical sign of
mating love, is a roundness, not of
the eye-ball, but of the commits
aure, or opening of the eye-lids.
When this propensity is largely
developed, the upper and lower
lid if fully opened, will very near

is so strong, that when one of

its exclusive affection. The Love

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
Thoss who posses, mating love
are tender, devoted and faithful,
their highest desire being the sue
cor and happiness of their nuptial
partners. Their love has its birth
in the mind, and, like all the fruits
of the judgment, is quiet and un-
enduring, but the love which is
born of the body, like most of the
/ intenser passions, burn far too Sc
verely, to burn long. It is like a

horses, to endure well, must not
be driven furiously, so love, to be
long preserved must be exercised
with moderation. And yet while
animal passion is but poor soil in
which to plant the nuptisl tree, ii
often abounds in courage, as well
as ardor-running fearful risks in
order to secure the object of its
desire. Many a lover would climb
a maiden's window to WOO her,
though ne well knew that her irate
parent would shoot him on dis
covery, yet the youths, who dash
into this kind of adventure, are
almost certain TO wreck the hap
piness of any women who would
dare to wed them. Three weeks
after the bridal day their wives
have usually reason to regret
either that they had not been shot
or they had never been born.
THE HAPPIEsT MARRIAGES.,
The happiest marriages are
those which take place between
persons who both possess large
mating love, and who are, in addi
ton, peculiarly adapted to each
other by character, physique, and
education. No saader mistake
can be made, than for one, with
large mating love, to marry anoth
er unhappily distinguished by Ia
civous tendencies, for as water
flows to its level, so love seeks its
own quality. It is an invariable
rule, that apimal passion cannot
find full satisfaction in spiritual
affection, while mental love, on the
other hand, is disguised by exces-
sive animality, and shrinks away
from it, to a mothers or sisters
tenderness.
LOOK AT THE EYES.
A thoughtful application of the
truths of physiognomy enables US
TO discriminate the signs of love
with unerring sagacity. The
