We are very much given to forming
estimates Of persons by the tones of
their voices, and, in the absence of other
and better data, a tOleTable judgment
may be so formed.
1t is said that Socrates judged the
quality Of a man by the tone of his
voice, as may he inferred from his WE'LL
known Speak that 1 may see you"
DR.. Durant has prepared a formula
which embodies his conclusions on this
subject, viz:
1--WE perceive in a stutterer one that
is easily enraged and as easily paeified,
vain, Officious, ineonstant, and ordina-
rily quick.
"a person whose utt, rance is thick
aud coarse is malicious, cunning, and
disdainful.
"a coarse voice indicates a robust
physique, great taiker, quick tenn
pered, though cOnspicuOusly discreet.
"a piercing, fine, or weak voice is in
dicative of timidityi cunning, and gen.
orally Of quick wit.
"Au attractive and clear voice ex-
presses a man who is prudent, sincere,
and ingenious, but proud and ineredu-
lous; whereas a firm voice, without
harshness, denotes a person who is ro-
eN9Nf ----~-a- . NN-Ni AL@o tNNbI 1ht@ w
nevOlent.
"a man possessing trembling and
hesitating voice is timid, weak, vain,
and sometimes jealous.
"a voice combining great sound and
frmness indicates q man who is strong,
audaciOus, rash, obstinate, and self-im-
pOrtant
"a sharp aud rude voice, in singing as
well as in conversation, denotes a coarse
mind, inferior judgment, aud strong ap-
petites.
"a hOarse voice, seemingly the effect
Of cold, signifies person more simple
than wise, credulOus and untruthful,
vain aud iDconstant.
"a full and sweet voice denotes man
who is peaceful, inclined to timidity,
discreet, and self-willed.
"a voice at first grave and then sharp
and piercing denotes the quick temper
of an impetuous, arrogant, and impu-
dent man.
"a soft, sweet voice is found in per-
son OF a peaceable and suitable eharac-

WISDOM II MAKING LOVE Men
naturally shrink from the attempt 90
obtain companions who are their supe-
ri0rsi but they will find that really in
telligent women, vino possess the most
desirable qualities, are uniformly mod
est, aud hold their charms i'm modest
estimation. Do not imagine that any
in love which takes
place before you are twenty-one years
old, will be of any material damage to
you. The truth is, that before a man is
twenty-five years old, he himself does
not know what he wants. The more Of
a man you become, and the more man
illness you become capable Of exhibiting
in your association with women, the
better wife you will be able to obtain
and one years possession Of the heart
and hand Of really noble woman is
worth nine hundred and ninety-nine
years possession of sweet creature with
two ideas in her head, and nothing new
to say about either of them.

DIVIDED.

Were we too happy IN our Eden, that the
tempter, with baleful eyes,
should creep in, so subtle and wary, in such
an alluring guise
dreamed not Of lurking danger, with the
smile Of God over all,
When my sun seemed to suddenly darken
with shadow as black pail.
Does he love that weak, soulless creature ?
Does she seem TO him quite divine2
BY her beauty and art she has stolen the heart
that was once wholly mine.
How strange that mortal so gifted should
stOOp with the wealth OF his love,
And take 10 his bosom viper, and fancy it
comes from above!
For, to eyes not blinded by passion, the trail Of
the serpent is there,
In the sinuous grace OF her motion, in the coils
OF her lovely hair,
In the basilisk eyes that glitter, as with tri-
umph she turns TO her prize
An! there's nothing Of heaven about her, save
the INT OF her azure eyes.
As an actor on life's stage, I grant you she has
learned, and plays well her part;
She has made him believe that she loves him
she, who has neither brains nor heart;
When the scales from his eyes shall be lOOs-
ened, heaven pity him on that day;
He VIII ind that she's Of the earth, earthly
yea made Of the cOmmOnest clay.
II the darkly-fringed lids were but lying fast
closed o'er the glorious eyes,
them in Paradise;
II the grim reaper, Death, had but frozen to
marble the lips I have kissed.
II the dark, cruel grave did but cover the dear
form lately have mgsedi
All! would God in his mercy but listen, i would
kneel I'm my wild despair,
And wait the noble soul hcaveuward, on the
wings of a passionate prayer;
And my heart would be fun OF rejoicing, for
mem'ry would be Joined with hope,
When my soul should escape from its prison,
no longer in darkness TO grOpe.
When the vail of the flesh shall be lifted all
sorrow shall then flee away,
No dark shadows can come between Us in the
realms Of eternal day;
When with him in the blessed hereafter, re-
deeming each promise and vow,
VIII he seem 20 my glOrifed vision more no.

WHY GAMBETTA BROKE HIS EN-
AGEMEET.-Gambetta is bachelor !;
but lie has not lived so long without
having at least contemplated marriage.
The story of his engagement to an heir
ess in Western France, and it's sudden
ereaking-ofi. give us a fresh glimpse OF
his character. From the time Of leav-
ing his humble home at CahOrs till his
rise to the highest rank of public per-
sonage, Gambetta lived with a loving,
devoted aunt, who had followed him to
Paris, and who made A pleasant home
Tor him everywhere he went. She was
at once maid OF all work aud his con
genial companion; and he was as at
tached 10 her as she 10 him. His en-
gagement TO n handsome and accom-
plished girl, with dot of seven mill
ions, was shock to the good aunt, hut
she yielded gracefully TO the inevitable.
When the arrangements for the mar
riage were being discussed, the young
lady took it into her head to make il a
condition OF their union that the aunt
should be excluded from the new estab-
lishment. She was not elegant enough
to adorn gilded salons. Gambetta ex-
plained how much his aunt had been to
him the rich beauty was only the more
Obduraie. Gambetta took off his hat.
aud. with profound bow, said, "Adieu :
We We're not made TO understand each
other" And the marriage was put of

How To SEE THE WIND.-A contem-
pOrary says how this may be done ::
Take polished metallic surface Of two
feet or more with straight edge-a
large handsaw will answer the purpose.
Take a windy dsy-whether hot Or cold,
clear or cloudy-Ouly not let it rain or
the air be murky; in other words let
the aiT ue dry aud clear, but this is not
essential Hold your metallic surface
at right angles to the direction of the
wind. e., If the wind is north, hold
your surface east and west but, instead
of holding the surface vertical incline it
about forty-five degrees to the horizon,
50 that the wind striking glanees and
flows over the edge (keeplng 1t straightJ
as water flows over dam. Now sight
carefully over the edge at some minute
and sharply defined object, aud you

REMARKABLE GIANTS. - The teeth
and bones Of the fossil elephants found
In Europe were assigned, in the six
teenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth
centuries TO giants, and many are the
stories which were commonly reported
about them-as, for example, that Of
the giant of Dauphine, in the reign of
Louis XIV. His remains were discOv-
cred by u surgeon, who stated that they
were enclosed in an enormous sepul-
chTs covered with & stone slab, bearing
the inscription TeUto5OchHs rer; and
that in the vicinity there were also
found coins or medals, all of which
showed the remains to be those of
giant king OF the Cimbri, who fought
against Marius. However, the original
owner of these bones, though not Of the
coins, was proved to have been an ele-
phant. Tue story Of TeutObOehus is
even excelled by that of another giant,
called the giant Of Lucerne, whose re-
mains when dug up were examined by
celebrated Professor of Basle, who de-
scribed them as OF human origin, and |
was skillful enough to put them to-
gether so as to resemble giant no less
than twenty-six feet high. For some
time the deluded people Of Lucerne paid
homage to this elephantine prodigy,
until the scales were removed from their
eyes by Blumenbaeh, who pronounced
to their astOnished senses that the giant,
as II lay in state at the Jesuits' College,
was but the skeleton of an elephant.

TURNING THE QUEsTION.-Dr. Lv-
man Beecher was once examined before
a theological council, and test question
was put: "Are you willing to be
damned for the glory of God 2' which
ne declined to answer in the affirmative.
Then arose a hair-spiitting and heated
discussion, till at length Beecher struck
fair compromise ground by declaring
that If the Divine Will deereed the dam
nation Of the whole council, it would
meet with his entire acquiescence.
