Language of the Hair.
Harrisburg telegraph

All OF our features have their language
eyes, nose and mouth. And now some one
discovers that even the hair has its own indi-
cations.
Straight. lank, Strengthening hair, indi-
Gates weakness and cowardice.
Curly hair denotes quick temper.
Frizzy hair, set on ones head as il each
individual hair was ready TO fight its neigh
Dor, denotes coarseness
Black hair indicates persistent resolution
IN accomplishing an Object--also a strong
predisposition 10 avenge wrong and insults,
real or fancied
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
friendly disposition, ambition, earnestness
of purpose, sagacity for business, relia-
biliiy in friendship, in proportion as the hair
is fine.
Very fine hair indicates an even disposi-
ton, readiness to forgive. with desire to
add to the happiness of others.
Persons with fine light brown or auburn
hair, inclined to curl or friz, are quick-tem-
pered, and are given to resentment and re-
venge.
Light brown hair, inclined to redness, with
a freckled skin, Is said to be a certain lndi-
cation of deceit treachery and disposition
to do something mean by friend who can
no longer be used to advantage.
All of which may be news to fortune
tellers.

SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY.
The Late Professor Henry ON the Ex-
istence of the Deity and a NJ diator-

The Washington correspondent of the
News sends the following interesting extracts
from the last letter written by Professor
Henry, with the exception of few brief
business notes. 1t was addressed to DR.. JO-
seph Patterson, of Philadelphia but was
never sent, as Professor Henry fully intended
to revise it, as he always did everything be
wrote, before mailing it. After referring to
some personal matters, he continued:
We live in a universe of charge-nothing
remains the same from one month until an
other, and each moment of recorded time
has its separate history. We are carried on
by the everchanging eventsi In the line of our
destiny, and at the end OF the year we are
always at considerable distance from the
point of its beginning.
How short the space between the two car
dinal points of an earthly career-ihe point
of birth and that of DEATH and yet what
universe of wonders are presented to us in
our rapid flight through this space. How
small the wisdom obtained by single life
in it's passage, and how small the knowl
edge when compared with the unknown by
the accumulation of the millions of lives
through the art of printing in hundreds of
years How many questions press them
selves upon us in these contemplations-
whence come we? whittier are we going?
what is our final destiny? the object of our
creation?
What mysteries of unfathomable depth
environ us on every side, but after all our
speculations and an attempt to grapple with
the problem of the universe, the simplest
conception which explains and CONNECTS the
phenomena is that of the existence of one
spiritual being infinite in wisdom, In power
and all divine projections which exist always
and everywhere, which has created Us with
intellectual faculties, sufficient in some de
gree to comprehend his operations as they
are developed in nature by what is called
science"
This beng is Interchangeable, and therefore
his operations are always in accordance. with
the same laws, the conditions being The same.
Events that happened a thousand years ago
will happen again thousand years to come,
provided the condition of exist, nee is the
same.
Indeed, universe not governed by law
would be a universe without the evidence of
an intellectual direction.
In the scientific explanation of physical
phenomena we assume the existence OF a
principle having properties sufflcit MT to pro-
duce the effects which we observe, and when
the principle so assumed explains BY logical
deductions from 1t all the phenomena, we
call 1t theory. Thus we have the theory of
hight, the theory of electricity, etc. There Is
no proof, however, of the truth Of these the
cries except the explanation OF the phenom-
