THE WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.
New York.

THE WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.
The most important of all our phys
ical faculties is sight. The merest sus-
picion of failing eyesight will bring
terror to the bravest soul. Our vision
is almost as precious to us as life itself.
There is no possession more coveted by
women than beautiful eyes. Yet the
owner of the ugliest or most repeIling
eyes imaginable is more to be envied
if she can lay claim to better vision.
The eyes which possess clear sight
whatever their color may be, are YER
lily the windows of the soul. What in
stinctive confidence we place in
frank, sincere gael We feel that those
eyes which spell goodness and even ho-
illness of life in every glance are the
faithful mirrors of the character be-
meath. All the great generals or leaders
of men have possessed in a pre-eminent
degree the calm, clear glance that mag
netizes, a sure symbol of an iron will.
Great orators have swayed vast audi
ences quite as much by the magnetism
of their eyes as by the golden harmony
of language.
