lii"; iiuoplc'M clmnu'tcrs, liy tlio IoiirHi
mil forinutloii of tltolr noiei. This art
has been forgotten In Iiivi-utluiis of later
times. It Is simple in Us njijillcat Imi,
nnd eoinprelien.slvo to the meanest un-
dcrstandlni;. Its chief advantage, how
ever, is that whereiw tho bumps on a
man's head uru hidden beneath his hair
or wig, and thu wor-o ipialitles they In
dicate, tlio less will h permit them to be
examined here, on tlio contrary, thu
Index of his character is pivcNoly tho
nio;t prominent feature of Ids face. It
would seem as If nature had taken this
precaution lu order to render hypocrisy
unavailable. A person might endeavor,
no doubt, to keep the world In the dark
by merely putting tho handkerchief to
his nose, llko a chicken that thrusts its
head into a comer and fancier itself in
vWlile. Hut in u c.io of this studied
concealment, It would not be tincharl
tablc.to conclude, that ho was charac
terised hy Midi an atrocious 1100 as
would iilliiglit mankind to look upon.
Without further preface we should fa
vor our readers with the elements of
of the M lcnee,be.-eecliing thenl not only
to study their neighbors' noses, but to
glance In the looking-glass at their
own.
A mw long,slender,and small,denotes
a person audacious, testy, hasty, peevNh,
ercditlou", irresolute. Not a very unit
able nose this) next better.
A no-e long and deellliliigdownwards
over tho upper Up, slgnllies a person
sagacious, secret, serviceable, truo to
his friend, honest and fair In ids deal
ing." This, mcthlnks, is not a very
pretty nose to look ut. We fear that
sonio oiour readers would prefer 11 bet
tersha.'d one, even with worse Indlca-
uous. .
A noscidmrp in thu end, nnd of mid'
dllug proportion, denotes a person coil'
celled, oiisu!tnble,content!ous, irritable,
scornful, cunning, malicious, but with
a good memory. Doubtless, a good
memory i- a desirable thing enough;
but it will hardly mnku amends for so
many evil attributes as aro hero cnu
lueratcd especially as, when combined
with malico, tho possessor will be likely
to remember an old grudge.
A nose broad, crooked in tho upper
part, Ion;;, aud gro-ser than ordinary,
marks n person hold, proud, tierce
tenaclom. envious, covetous, luxutloii
deceitful, vain-glorious, perfidious mul
a scold. We would lleo from this nose.
as far as wo could see it with a tele
scope.
A nosohrge In thoinIddlo,nndgroV'
lug less towards thu upper part, is n
sign of 11 person invariable, luxurious
nice in hU language, and of a churlish
disposition. This, wo presume, is tlio
sort of uok thai Us owner Is addicted to
turning up, when matters do not hap
pen to suit his fancy.
A noo long, and very thick, denote
a person very greedy, eonvetous, simple
In good thhigsand witty in evil, frown
Ing, dissembling, and much niorolgrror
tint than ho would be reported to be,
Whoever Ims a noso of this pattern, wo
adviso him never to go abroad without
clnpplng his handkerchief to it ns if It
were bleeding.
A noso unusually elevated In tlie mid
die, liko the arch of a bridge, murks
person lying,idle,lnconstaiit, luxurious,
credulous, Importunate, ready-witted

us I aro there no good noses in tho list
I'or our own nart. If wo wero not al
ready provided, wo hail about as liuvo
do without n noso ns mnke a shift with
any such wicked snouts ns these.
A noso lndlirereutly long, and small
in tho middle, dignities a person bold,
rational, honest, soon angry, but soon
pleased. As noses go this is worth any
money. It is not to bu sneezed at.
A noso somewhat hairy nt tho end,
bigger than ordinary, but small woru
It Joins tho forehead, denotes 11 person
of good disposition, but too easily de

noso, wo should feel 110 sort of Inclina

A noso every wny very big, very long,
and with wide nostrils, dwotesn per

subtle, contentious, luxurious, vain
glorious, envious, nnd Impertinently
curious. Whenever wo meet tho nose,
wo shall hnrdly refrain from giving Jtn

A noso conveniently big, nndreasona

body seemed toeare whether skirts wero
gathered ns high as their waiits, or
thrown over their IieaiU.
Two ladles deliberately took oil' their
shoesand stocklngs.and "gathering their
garments high," started for land, They
waded and stumbled toward the door,
and the way the cheers went up from the
crowd was stunning; they drowned thu
loud thunder. At one time theru was
licit ti mixture, of tumble-downs In the
water that it was hard to tell who wero
women and who weie men, save by an
occasional bearded fuco that appeared
above thofloatlngcnllco. Nobody seem

Tito circus performance added interest

THE MAN WITH TIE WITH
ERED IIA" D.
It is a Sabbath morning; and Its
doors thrown open ns the hour for
prayer approaches, tho synagogue be
gins to fill. Among those who enter Is
a man with n withered hand ; and how
ever others come, thero is liasto In ids
step, and high expectation seated on
Ids brow. Hlrssed day, now Is his
ehnnce to bo healed. Jesus is in the
neighborhood, and Is sttro to bo nt wor
ship. Farly there, likely tho first, tills
crippled mini, heeding nothing else,
looking at none, talking with none,
keeps Ills yo on thu door keenly ob
serving all wlto enter, and often, as It
opens iind('hrltuppenrsiiot,llsnppolnt-
(il. At length thu foot of a group are
heard ; again thu door opens ; mid the
colour that flushes bis face tells that
tlio person has now como that ltu lias'
come to meet. Xor I., tills nil ito can do
nnd does. Observing where Jesus at
tended by ills disciples sits, ho rlcc.s,
and elbowing thu crowd nsldo without
regard to their challenge or murmurs,
pushes on to phico himself heforu the
Saviour, fight in his eye. All this ho
can do, and does, and more. Ordinarily
concealing a deformity he was nshamed
of, lie now drops his robe, and exposing
tlio poor unsightly hand In tho hope
that It may catch Christ's eye and move
his pity, sits with looks fixed Implor
ingly on our Lord. There was no need
for him to speak. Ills eager looks, and
tlio poor, bared, withered hand wore
touching prayers. Nor did thee prayers
alt long lor an answer. Tho oyo that
nover saw misery but to ylty it, isnt
length turned on him ; and Jesus says
Stretch out thine hand ! Strango com
mand to others, perhaps also to ltlinse'f
ns bidding him do tlio very thing Ito
had no tower to do. Still hu tries it
galli doing what ho can, ho makes tin
effort and, Glory to God I bursting
from his lips, succeeds. Vlrtito goes
out of Christ. The shrunken hand in-
tantly acquires si healthful color, and
swells Into Its right proportions. In his
joy tho man shuts and opens it ; moves
tho pliant fingers; aud holds the mira
cle aloft to tho gaze of a crowd dumb
witli nstonlsliitient. (tivo lilm a harp,
and with that hand lie would sweep Its
minding strings to tlio pral-o of Jo-siis.
I'attcnt to men who liuvo souls to be
aved, nnd hearts to cure, lie did what
lie could using nil means within hi"
power to obtain tho blcslng. And did
people with equal eagerne-s repair to
tliochurcli on Sabbath as ho to tlio syna
gogue, to meet Jesus Christ, and with
tho same earnestness aud thoMimo faith
lay out their sins and soul's sorrows be
fore him, our Sabbaths would witness
greater works than this ho who healed
that withered hand healing withered
hearts, and whether they required tout,
saved or sanctified, giving tower to
them tbnthaveno might. 1)1: (luthrir.

Amono tlio early Christians thu mod
em style of preaching was reversed ; the
preacher generally delivered his exhor
tation in a sitting posture, wlillo the
congregation heard him standing.
Chrysotom preached in litis manner.
Men wore their heads covered in the
church, in tlio time of Elizabeth. The
habit has been traced to the Hebrew
Synagogue. Our Lord sat and disputed
among the doctors in thu Temple. Pub
lic expression of approval by tho audi
ence was mado by tossing up their gar
ments, or waving tliulr pinnies, lu the
timo of Chrysotom and Jerome.
Tho old English mime, Parson, i.s sup
posed to bo a corruption of person, the
person by eminence. Fuller remarks
thnt thu Scripture give four names to
Christians, taken from tho fourcardinal
graces: saints, for tlieirh(illuess; heller
ers, for their faitlt ; hrcthren, for their
love; iliseipUn, for their knowledge.
Tlio clergy wero originally styled
clerks, from thoNoriiinncustom of their
Judges being chosen from tlio sacred or
der. In tlio first century, they were
distinguished by the titles of presbyter
and bishops. Church music issiippo-pil

ory the Groat, A.D., fil!2. Church stee
ples wero originally parochial fortresses.
Sidney Smith thus defines tho object
of preaching: "It Is constantly to re
mind mankind of wind mankind is con
stantly forgetting; not to supply tho
dofects of human Intelligence, but to
fortify tho feebleness of huinaii resolu
tlons; to recall mankind from the by
paths where they turn, Into the path of
salvation which all know, imt few
tread." "How comes it," demanded a Hi-hop
of Garrlck, "that 1, in expounding di
vine doctrines, produce so littlo etft ct
upon my congregation, wlillo you can
so easily rouse tho passions of your au
ditors by the representation of fiction ?
Tho nnswer was short any pithy. "Ho
cuuso I recite falsehoods us if they wero
truo, wlillo you deliver truths as If they
wero fiction."
Hobert Hall, even, admitted tlmt ho
