Occupation and F,scial Expression.

A mans occupation O. condition has good
deal to do with making his facial expression
Intellectual pursuits, like studies or the schol-
arly professions, when coupled with temperate
and moral habits of life, brighten the face
and give person a superior look. Magma
nimity of nature, or love of studies and arts.
will make q bright, glad face, but, contrary
to this, a man may have a face that does not
please anybody, because of a love of self to
the exclusion of all others, notwithstanding
his learning and worldly shrewdness Sol
diers get hard, severe look, overworked
laborers constantly look tired, reporters look
inquisitive, mathenlaticians look studious.
judges become grave, even when off the
bench, the man who has had domestic trouble
looks all broken up. An example of the ludi-
crous side of this subject is to see a third
class lawyer stalking around a police court
looking wise as an owl The business makes
the face, say. There's the butchers face,
the saloon keepers face, the beggar's face,
the ministerial face, the lawyers face, the
doctors face, the hoodlum's face, oil SO dis
tinct each from the other and singly, that L
seldom fail to recognize those callings show
ing through the faces. And what city boy
cannot recognize genuine farmer on the
street as farmer the moment he sees him?-

AT MIDNIGHT.

The room is cold and dark tonignt-
The fire is low;
Why come you, you love the light,
To mock me SO?
pray you leave me now alone;
You worked your viii
And turned my heart TO frozen stone:
Why haunt me still:
Igot me to this empty place:
shut the door;
Yet through the dark see your face
Just as of yoTe.
The old smile curves your lips tonight;
Your deep eyes glow
With that old gleam that made them bright
So long ago
listen; do hear your tone
The silent thriIs
Why come your 1 would be alone:
Why vex me still?
What! Would you that we re-embrace-
We two once moref
Are these your tears that wet my face
Just as beforet
You left to seek somc new delight.
Yet your tears tloT;
What sorrow brings you back to-nights
Shall not known
iwill not let you grieve alone
The night il chill
Though love is dead and hope has Town
Pity lives still
How silent is the empty space
Dreamed once more;
HencefoTth against your haunting face
bar the door.
