Stunning to instruct them. AS q lawyer
he would lose every case intrusted tC
him. unless he were on the defense
He has am amount of grit and fighf
in case of emergency, and though he is
willing TO take back seat, he objects
If any one should attempt TO push him
into it. His combatiyeness is not
shown until an attack is made, and
then he would say, Come one, come
all; this rock shall fly" etc.
He is by nature inclined to be ex-
tremely active in BODY, will be fond
of athletic sports. and if his health is
good he would much rather walk than
ride. and much rather run than walk
In mounting flight of steps he would
take at least two at each bound, and
as a bow would be fond of climbing
trees, roaming the hills, and with his
large mirthfulneSS and com bativeneSs
there is no doubt he has performed
his full share of mischief in his time.
He is very sure-footed. could soon
learn to balance himself on the tight
rope. and as a sailor would feel at
home even at the masthead.
The social brain is much better de-
yeloped than the commercial. He is
agreeable, free and convivial in COM
pany. likes the society of his select
friends, and as he is lacking in that
sense of authority, win never assume
/ any SuOCl4OLllN over the rest ne Is
capable OF very strong affection, is
fully alive to the charms of the syentler
sex. will be gallant in his department
/ towards them, and II he had children
would be apt to spoil them with over
indulgence. He is fond of pets and ami
mails. and strongly attached to home.
The writer never heard him, but
there is not the least doubt every part
of his whole nature would enter into a
M q nd
he would feel every word as he sang it.
He has very strong likes and strong
dislikes; will become excessively at
tached to old places and old friends.
He is sentimental in these matters,
and would defend an absent friend
with more warmth than he would re-
Sist an attack upon himself.
His mirthfulness will always point
out the funny side of life. Professor
Stephens is not half so serious as he
looks. That rather downcast. sad ex-
preston is a result of deficient self
esteem, a lack of proper appreciation
for himself, and not a sign of a mel
ancholy mind.
That dark cloud that falls athwart
his countenance is exceedingly thin.
A joke does not have to be explained
before he is prepared to laugh, and if
he were one of a party at a picnic or
IN the canyon, away from all restraint,
he would prove to be one of the most
frisky lambs in the flock.
His religious impulses are full, but
tannot be marked strong. They will
give Kim no trouble.
He is not one of those who lie awake
at night so as to give a fitting recep-
ton to any celestial visitor who should
happen to drop in, but while he will
never be remarkably devout he could
not possibly become irreligiOuS with
such poetic nature. The refining, ele-
waiting elements of his organization al
ready referred to (sWblimity, ideality.
etc.) will always incline him upwards
instead OF down, and though he may
not aspire to the pulpit, at least he will
remain in the church. He is not want
ing in q fair amount of faith and rev.
erence, he viii live an upright, honest
life, but the religious faculties follow
rather than lead.
He is clear-headed, cool and deliber-
ate, never gets excited, and in his COM
mand of others is capable of showing
considerable firmness and determine
ton He will always be kind. thought
full and patient, is willing to put him.
self on an equal footing with the COM
pany he is in, but will not allow any
undue liberties.
His social qualities combined with his
mirthfulness and imitation will make
gifted as an entertainer and can easily
keep his guests in the best of humor.
There are many directions in which
he could not well succeed, and many
others in which he could scarcely fail.
for instance: He could not succeed as
mathematician. In the first place
the science is too dry for him, and then
he has no special talent in this line.
He could not succeed as a booklxeeper.
1t is too confHing and too tedious for
his active organization. AS a lawyer,
he is not sufficiently aggressive and as
a lecturer he would be at a disadvar-
tage as regards language, and has moi
enough faith in himself.
In mercantile business he would not
be sufficiently vigilant. He is not
plodding enough in disposition, would
soon become tired of chasing the dollar,
would want q change, become Disguised
and thus lose what he had invested. To
deal in bacon, molasses, soap, etc, does
not appeal to his ideality, and as a
butcher the very sight of blood is Of
fensive. AS a plumber he is too con-
scientious, as a surgeon is too sympa-
thetic and as minister is not suffl-
GENTLY pious.
That he is capable of very great sue
cess as a musician, a composer and
teacher, every one knows, and we have
sought to point out the cause. But he I
could succeed also as an artist, sculp-
tor, or as a druggist. AS "a mechanic |
or even on the stage he has special tall
ents, and would make a good proof |
reader in a newspaper Office.
He has good constructive ability, any |
amount of tact, is fertile in ideas, in
dustrious and energetic, but is rather |
too fond of variety and change except |
when it touches his social nature, and /
in this he is as firm and stable as the /
hills.
To sum up: He will make a true ]
friend. a jovial companion. an efficient !
teacher, and a patriotic citizen. He is /
a good worker, never likes thing half /
done, will strive for the best results, |
and will never fish for compliments.
