of beaming on hearers, and enforcing tin
words uttered by the spoaker, have re

In later years writers expressed their
opinions', its to the predominance of light
or dark eyes in the dilVeront zone. Po.
ets, by words woven in beautiful meas

of favorile eyes. But one lamentable lact
stares us in the face; although poets have
sung, and writers have written, the one
leading feature of man bus us yet received
but little consideration. This fault, how
ever, we believe should not be imputed to
the nose; for it has always held the same
relative position. This nasal promontoiy
is situated very conspicuously in the front
of the human countenance and in some
respects is the most unhappy of human
organs. The insults it is subjected to are
numerous and painful. The fists have of
ten contracted trouble for this innocent
member that has caused it to weep in
tears of blood. The tongue, its unruly
neighbor, has often become eloquent in
sarcasm and jest at its inelegant propor
tions. Nevertheless in spite of the (lis.
courtesy and lawlessness shown to the
nose, it exercises a power over us, that wo
would not yield to any .man ; the powor
to compel us to follow where its good, in
stinctive sense may choose to lead us.
And while it is serviceable as a guide, it
is never slow to introduce us to all intelli
gent people. It prefaces many of its own.
er's peculiarities, moral and intellectual.
Noses, with regurd to outline, have been
divided into six gieat classes, viz.: Bo
man, Greek, Jewish, cogitative, snub, and
celestial. The first three clashes received
their present names because of their na
tionality, each class being peculiar to the
nation whose name it bears. Although
these nations have long since ceased to
exist, UiG form of noses peculiar to them
may still be foiuid.
