 raoy-Ah, Hero Comes the Man With Steady Tread and Manly Carriage.
 It is Plutarch who says that "An ac- ton of small note, short saying or jest will distinguish persons real character nore than the greatest sieges or the most important battles" and Lavater, the father of physiognomy, declares that no man can set glass upon table without betraying 10 certain extent his Individuality. True, no doubt, but one must have the keen vision, the well trained eye, in order to interpret these mystic signs. The indications of char aeter as exhibited in the walk of per son, however are patent to every be- holder and may be deciphered by the
 most untutored, the least astute.

Need I point him out as 8 man of boundless cOneeit, of monumental brass, of colossal gallg His amiabiify k imperturbable, for cue who is absolutely self satisfied is apt to take an indnlgent view of the world at large. His faith in himself is limitless. No traitorous feeling of self distrust will ever cause his failure. He will under tabe without tho slightest misgiying what man of ten times his ability would hesitate to attempt His success ii life : is assured, and yet one cannot help feel ing that If traced to it's roots 1t would be found 10 spring from defects rather than merits.
 The dress of the woman coming just behind him is arranged with mathemat- | ical exactness The placing of each pin has been a matter of special care. Her lips are compressed, her hands clasped 1 primly before her, her steps are taken
 with painful accuracy; there is not a hairbrcadth's difference in the length ot 1 them. If you follow her 10 her home, you vii ind that the same scrupnlous- ness prevails in the disposition of every i thing about her The furniture is ar ranged with rectangular exactnoss, there is not pin out of place iIl her | bureau drawers and the jars upon her ] pantry shelyos arc maTshaled like sol diers on parade She will accomplish i no ereat work ul life however.

 The man with the shuiiing, uncertain 1 gait, whose steps seem to ho directed by Eo guiding power within, is woakmiud- ea. There k nothing which more surely belrays feebleness of intellect than the ws1k. And be of the awkward gait, the restless manner, the furiye glance, is the uorbidly self conscious man. who cannot for moment diyest himself Of 1 the ssnse cf beng observed; who lives, so epeaG, under glass case. And be

 of h- mind is poised for spring, Let me commend to your confidence
 the nglu jus. coming intouew--tho man with tdg earnest eye. the manly carriage,
 tbe firm tread, who nalks with simple. i stai ahaorwari digectness as if toward, soiae given point. He is stable in ali

 the attainment of which h5 advances with uuswerving steadfastness, never
 turning to the right or tho left, never allowing himself to be drawn into by-
 paths, no matter how alluring. His vie tory isassurad, his success merely QGes-
 tion of time.
 And SO might one multiply types ad
 minimum, for the variety in mankind is
 limitleSs. Nor is it to be wondered at tbat the characteristics of men and wom- en exhibit Themselves in the gait, for She motive power, tho propelliug force, is from within.
