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.—

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.

Georgia will take place in 1876.
