Not for years had such a scene
been enacted in the custom house.
The collector was in a quandry. His
office was damned full of importers, who
waved rolls of bills in their hands and
shouted to him not to close The pressure
on the collector became so great that final

advice. The secretary soon replied for the
collector to use his discretion in the matter.
Accordingly the collector decided to keep

= NHORESNIS AND CHARA CITE :,
INDEX.

Following are some aphorisnls whi5h
students are required to be guided by in
their movements:
Extremes tend TO react to their oppos-
ties.
Personality is the result of hereditg al
Gesture is 5he immediate revelation of
the being.
The quality Of the gesture is the quality
of the individual and the tombstone to the
character of the man.
Tie will may have some control over
the muscles, but it has none over the
blood
Gesture is the language of nature, and
is comprehensive to people Of every
tongue.
A few character hints to be CLEANED from
the general cast of features are given as
follows:
Thoughtful people habitually lower the
head and eyes.
Enthusiasts carry the head elevated.
Heavy, sensuous lips, square massive
Jaws, ard thick neck indicates a vicious
character
Thin, compressed lips, bony jaws, and
pointed chin show hardness aud cruelty.
4 nose cast in a heroic mold is rarely
found dis-associated with some admirable
qualities Of mind or heart.
A pinched petked, or fiat nose nearly
always accompanies a mean, peevlsh, or
crafty nature.
A brow corrug tied with seams and
wrinkles is the external evidence of life
Of thought and much care.
A brow innocent Of lines betokens a
vacuOus mind
Dilated nostrils betoken sensibility and
excltability
Contracted nostriis show contempt and
cruelty.
A full high forehead denotes inteIlectu-
al superiority.
A low, receding brow marks mental den
sity.
An elbow turned outward denotes con-
ceit and self-assertion.
Inward, it indicates weakness, humility,
and subordination of self
In response, it indicates ease, modesty,
and self-possession.

agony of apprehension What could have

not been carried of by the hostile Indians,
for she was not with them at the ford, and
they had departed in an opposite direction
from the cabin. Perhaps she had seen
them and secreted herself to escape cap
tivity. But where?
They searched the woods with torches
and lanterns until midnight. when utterly
fatigued by the long ride they were obliged
to rest until morning

And the path that leads TO a House of You

Climbs over the powdered hills,
And the path that leads to a Bank Account
Is swept by the blast that kills:
But the men who start in the paths to-day
In the Lazy Hills may go astray
In the Lazy Hills are trees that shade
By the dreamy Brooks of Sleep,
And the rollickjng River of Pleasure laughs,
And eambols down the steep;
But when the blasts of the winter come,
The brooks and the river are frozen dumb.
Then woe to those i.si . Lazy Hills

Who strayed from III oath to Bank Account
And the path 10 Il House of Their Own;
These paths are hard IL the summer heat,
But in winter they lead . snug retreat.
