Reading the Ewes.

According to a fancliul American
phrenologist round-eyed persons see
much. live much in The senses, but think
less. Narrow-eyed persons, on the
other hand, see less but think and feel
more intensely. 1t will be observed that
the eyes of children are open and round.
Their whole life is to receive impress
sions. 1t is only when childhood is
maturing toward manhood and woman
hood that thought comes if il comes at
all. But what most leads to reflection?
Experience. Our errors, our short-com-
ings, our failures these teach us TO
think before we act, TO consider each
step, to weigh every motive. When,
therefore, the upper eyelid-for 1t is that
which has the greatest amount OF mo-
bility-droops over the eye, il indicates
not merely reflection, but something
painful to reflect about, Hence the
length or dropping Of the upper eyelid
betokens confession and penltence'
The dropping Of half OF the eyelids
from the outer angle to the center indi-
Gates the disposition 10 confess one
faults to parents or seniors, to father

The dropping of half of the eyelids
from the inner angle to the center be-
tokens the disposition to repent and to
do works meet forrepentance. Close
" allied 10 these signs are those of
p-ayerfulness and humility. The form
er Is indicated by the muscle which
turns the eye directly downward, as rep
resented in the pictures of the Madon-
ma. Prayerfulness is usually large in
connection with that Of pontence, the
reason of which is that between the
faculties of penitence and humility there
is the same close connection as between
confession aud prayer, One who has
habiNlally more prayer than humility
has the eye turned somewhat upward,
so that the upward part Of the iris is a
little covered by the upper eyelid and
so as to leave slight space between
the iris and the lower lid. The reverse
is true of one who has more humility
than prayer
The faculty of truth--that is, the love
of it's indicated by the muscle which
surrounds the eye, causing folds and
wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the
muscle which causes the perpendicular
wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full
ness and wrinkles under the eye, for
which some persons are remarkable, in
dictate love for mathematical accuracy;
and curving upward from the outer
angle of the eye and eyebrow indicate
probity or personal truthfuluess. There
are three degrees of the faculty of jus
tice. The first is kind of oyactness, Of
strict honesty in small money matters
which some people would call closeness
and is indicated by a singular perpen
dicular wrinkle or line between the eye
brows. The second is disposition t
require justice in others, aud is indl
