And then there ia the IrisK eye, and when ] nature made the Irish eye she turned out ' one of her masterpieces, a thing of beauty < without a flaw. Those large blue Irish, eyes, bright aa the morning, dark as the night, laughing with merriment, languid with love, pitiful and tender, joyous and full of fun, what nation can match them ? None ! None ! They own the blue ribbon m good sooth, and Nora and Dermot owe half the madness they inspire to the beauty those bright and eloquent eyes of theirs possess, and the love they seem to promise. Faces, too, are like other things beside themselves, and the French expression, chacun a sa bete dans la figure, is almost universally correct. There are few faces to which you cannot find some kind of likeness m the lower world. Dogs are plentiful ; so are cats and cows, and horses and birds ; from the eager eagle-like face, with its high nose enrved like a beak, and deeply-set eyes placed close under the brow, to the simple-looking secretary bird with its weak lank hair combed back wards, its slanting forehead and foolish, forward nose ; from the solemn round eyed owl, framed m a furry fluffy mass of hair, to the long-necked crane, with less brains than "style." Then there is the camel's face with its long protruding upper lip ; and the monkey's face, small, dark, and sharp ; the lion's head, grand, majestic, strong; and the bull's, not so beautiful, but when of the highest type, as m Hercules, a head and face that mean good things enough. There is the mouse's face, and its cousin the rat's, unlovely both of them, but not necessarily bad, only indicative of peevishness, curiosity, and weakness ; and there is the toad'B head, which wears no jewel so far. as we can see. The tiger has its likeness m humanity ; so have somo insects, and so has the snake. - Sheep-like faces abound, poor weak, timid creatures ; and we know t an elderly gentleman with white hair, a long noae, and a long white beard, whose likeness might be taken for a goat's and the resemblance found striking.
