Gates deceit aud cUquctry, the propensity
to greenish tints i'll the eyes is sign of
wisdom and courage. Very choeric per-
sons, if they have blue eyes, have also
certain tints of green in them, and when
under the Influence of anger sudden
red light appears in them.
Clear light blue eyes, with calm
steadfastncss in their glance, are indi-
cative of ahecrlulness of disposition, of
a serene temper and constant nature.
These eyes ale peculiar to the Northern
nations: one meets with them among the
Swedes, and also sometimes among the
Scotch. The blue eyes we see among
the rare blondes of the South-that is, in
Italy and Spain-always have eyes in
which there are some grcenish tints; and
such eyes, though often called light blue,
have none of the qualities of serenity
and constancy which belong to the light
blue eyes of the North. Neither must
the pleasant light blue eye with the
honest glance be confounded with an
other sort of eye of pale bluc, almost
steel-colored hue, which has a continue
ally shifting sort of motion both of the
eyelids and the pupils of the eyes. People
with such eyes as these are to be avoided,
as they are indicative of deceitful and
selfish nature. Very dark blue eyes,
with something Of the tint Of the violet,
show great power of affection and purity
| of mind, but not much intellectually.
Gray eyes, of a somewhat greenish
gray, with orange as well as blue in
| them, and which are of ever varying
tints, like the sea, aie those which de
note most int llectuality. They ale
especially indicative of the impulsive,
impressive temperament-a mixture of
the sanguinc and the blious-which pro-
| duces the poetic and artistic natures.
| The line,
"The poets eye, in "A fine frenzy rolling"
| does not suggest a blue, or even Il black,
| so much as the changcful, cver-varying,
tinted gray eye; and it is II fact that in
England (whcre there are more varieties
of tints in eyes than in any other country
the poets have almost always gray eyes.
| A hiu.rapher Of Byron speaks OF his
beautiful cEangetul gray eyes, which
deepencd i'll color when he was under The
influence of tenderness and passion, and
which gioEed with a red Eight when he
was angry" Shakespeare also had, we
are told. gray eyes; Coleridge, eyes OF a
grceniSh gray. Among the artists, too,
eyes Of this color abouad.
Black eyes, or what are considered
| such, are indicative of passionate al dor
in love- Brn"u eyes, when not of the
yellowish tint, but pure russell brown,
| show ali atlrctionatc disposition; the
darker the brown--that is, the more they
| verge on to that deepest tint Of brown
| which in ewes we are in the habit of call
ing black-thc more ardent and passion
ate is the power of affection. The brown
eyes which do not appear black-that is,
which are not dark enough to appear So
are the eyes of sweet, gentle and unsel!ish
natures, without the Inconsistency of the
light brown or yellom eyes" golden
eyes" rs they were called by lady
novelist, and which are very little more
to be- trusted than the green eyes have
already spoken Of
Eyes which show no lines when i'll sor-
row or laughter denote a passionlcss and
unimpressionable nature. Eyes of long
almond shape, with thick skinned eyelds
which appear to cover half the pupil, are
Indicative ESQ says Lavater) of genius.
| do not think this, unless they are found
in conjunction with brow which is full
over the eyebrows, and which has one
deep perpendicular line between the eye
| brows. | have frequently noticed this
| combination in the face of distinguished
literary men and artists. The almond
shaped eye, however. even without this
peculiar form of forehead, always means
a susceptible, impressionablc nature.
Eyes which are large. open, and very
transparent, and which sparkle with a
rapid motion under well defined cyelids,
denote elegance in taste, somewhat
susceptible temper, and great interest in
the opposite sex.
| Eyes with weakly marked eyebrows
above them, and with thinly growing
| eyelashes which are completely without
| any upward curve, denote 4 feeble con-
sttution and il melancholy disposition.
| These eyelashes are often seen in people
who combine the Emphatic and mclan-
chollc temperament. The eyes of these
people are either of a pale, colorless sort
of blue, or Of dull black without any
sparkle in them.
Deep sunken and small bne eyes,
under bony, almost perpendicular fore
head, are Indicative of selfish and cold
! hearted natures.
| Eyes which show not only the whole
of the iris, but also some of the white
both above aud below it. denote a rest
less, uncertain nature, incapable of re-
pose or of concentrated thought on any
subject.
Eyes that move slowly under heavy
|
| lids Indicate extreme sensuousness and
great capacity for voluptuous enjoymcnts
| of every sort. Ii with such eyes the lips
are thicS, the lower part Of the nose
fleshy, and the jaw and chin heavy, such
combination would denote gross SEN
suality.
Round-shaped eyes are never seen in
the face of a highly intellectual person,
but they denote kindly, youthful, and
| innocent nature.
Eyes which (when seen in prolific are
so protubcrant as to run almost parallel
with the profile of the nose, show weak
organization of body and mind.
Eyes rather close together show pene-
tration, but eyes cery close together de-
note cunning and an untruthful DISPOSE
ton.
