Memory of Faces When a man has the painter’s fac ulty of faces, and with it a quick and retentive memory of small facts, the combination gives him great soflal power. This was Macaulay’s case. He never forgot the face of a man whom he had met in society, and with the face ho re membered all the salient facts con nected with tho owner of it. Few ■jhings are more flattering to an or dinary mortal than being thoroughly remembered by a great lion with who he has perhaps had a brief inter view several j-ears before, I doubt if this faculty exists to any great extent among our public men; indeed, I have often been surprised at the ab sence of it. A Russian baron of tho true divine right school once main tained to me that this was an effect of republican institutions, or, what came to the same thing, that tho op posite was the effect of monarchial in stitutions. Ido said that kings and princes were obliged to see a great many persons, whereupon Providence had conferred on them various means of being gracious to those persons, of which prompt recognition was one.— Galaxy. Power of the Human Eye- The power of the human eye as ex ercised by woman over man is doubt less irresistible, but when a man im agines that his own eye can exert the same influence over the tower crea tion, and that ho has only to guze fix edly on a wild beast to subdue its fe l’ocity, he occasionally miscalculates his change. Thus, a professor, who was a be liever in the power of tho human eye, realized tho truth of the doefrino to his sorrow. Determined to convince the skeptics ot its truth, ho selected a fei-ocious bull who was the terror of the neighborhood as the object of his experiment. The result was not al together successful. Surrounded by a retinue of disbelievers, the scientific gentleman sauntered into tho pasture where the thoughtful bull was peace fully grazing. lie fixed upon tho bull his eagle eye, but the ferocious old animal quailed not, neither did it re tire in melodramatic order, but the last thing seen of that professor was his archeological form tossed twenty seven feet into tho air and coming down on tho other side of the fenco. His physical injuries wero slight, but his faith in scientific mesmerism as illustrated in bulls has been greatly weakened. Wedding Miseries. Mankind Las agreed to surround tho marriage ceremony with observ ances of a distressing, not to say ri diculous, nature. It is generally as sumed,we don’t ask with what accura cy, that a marriage is in itself a cause for congratulation to the person most immediately interested, and, there fore, it is inferred that ttfey should suffer cheerfully the small deduction from their satisfaction which is in volved in making themselves a show to their acquaintances and to the pub lic generally. As the world becomes more civilized, there is a tendency to diminish the quantity of ceremonies observed; tho couple are allowed to seek refuge in flight, instead of being expossed to coarse conviviality cus tomary in former times; speech mak ing is rapidly dropping out of fashion, and it may be hoped that in timo two human beings, performing the most solemn act of their lives, will be al lowed to get through tho business quietly and seriously, without being ?\posed to the impertinent intrusions tho outside world. Leaves and Lungs. There is everywhere an exchange going on between leaves and lungs; luugs give carbon to leaves, and keep oxygen themselves. But how is this; in winter, there are no leaves except upon evergreens ? Do these leaves take up all tho carbon that is then breathed out? No; they are not nu merous enough to do this. Does car bonic acid gas then increase in the air, and oxygen lessen ? Not at all. It is as in summer when leaves are alive and breathing. I will tell you how this can be. Gases readily mix with each other, especially when shaken. Noiv every motion of air, every gust of wind shakes the gases that compose tho air, and scatters the carbonic acid gas. This gas, there fore, we may say, flies on the wings of the wind, and breathed out in one place may thus find its way to many places, not merely miles out at the North in the winter but may thus go to the South to be breathed in by leaves there, and the Southern sunny climes send oxygen for the lungs of those who dwell in the North.
