women. Now, Squire, the furst rail road that
was ever made, was made by natur’ It runs
from the heart to the eye, and it goes so al
mighty fast, it can’t he compared to nothin’
but iled lightening. The moment the heart
opens its doors, out jumps an emotion, whips
into a car, and is off like wink io the eye.—
That’s the station lteu.se and terminus for the
passengers, and every passenger carries a lan
tern in his hand as bright as an Argand lamp ;
you can see him ever so far off. Look, there
fore, to the eye ; if there ain’t no lamp there,
no soul leaves the heart that hitch ; there ain’t
no train rnnnin’, and the station-house is emp

Smiles can be put off and on like a wig; sweet
expressions come and go like shades and lights

so you’re enchanted ; and the tongue will lie
like, the d—I,—but the e.yc, never. And yet
there aie all sorts of eye.*. There's an on-
meanin’ eye, and ti cold eye ; n true eye, and
a false eye ; a sly eye, a kickin’ eye, a pas
sionate, a revengeful eye, a rnanocuvering eye,
a jealous eye, und a sad eye ; a sq.tintin’ eye.
and tlie evil eye ; and, above all, the dear lit
tle lovin’ eye, and so forth. They must he stu
