There is a prophet in Israel. A uian
has appeared in this country and in
this age who claims to have diaoov-
ered a m#«? scienoe, the art of reading
men by their, ,ey«*. (HU ame is
Aguirre do Ven^ro, 4uid he has writ-
ten a book <jalledl4,NeW System of
Physiognomy, or the Art of Knowing
Men by their Eyti#." which has beeu
priuted in New Yurk., The work i#
dedicated memory of Uvater,
"After * lengthened and wpecial
stndy of tii evtW' writes onr atitlior,
AliiL (huuwqUoo, of oaoBrae, Vitfa t)«
otlier features, t^^ved afcthe «on-
olusion that' tuere exists a universal
language, knowh froth pole to.pole.
though the medium of Hxed and un-
changing signs." r , . .
After giving many oth^r ifistuuccp
Of the power of the expression Of tho
eye, he goes on to claim, from the re-
sults of his. studies; of lumtthar, -in
asylums nnd els^whcrt),, tlmt iusniiity
i is not a disease of *the brain, but an
lUfeutioit of the eye, for it is the eyes,
4-s61e authors of insaIiity, which by
their deception lead the soul astray,
and. overthrow its sound ratiocina-
tion," ■' -1 - _ ,yr; , .
He divides the 'eyes into four cate-
gories. in the first, the eyes are
large, full, uijd pretty open, the inner
corners well marked., the eye-la«lies
lon« and silky, eyebrows undulating,
and the intellectual part of the crani-
um strongly developed. In the sec-
oml catec^ry the eyes art* of mode rate
size, with the iuner corners depressed
and the brows almost even. In the
third category the eyes are small and.
round, the laslics thin and not eleva-
ted, uud the hrows straight, without
auy undulation whatever. In the
fourth category the eyes are depress^
ed ami hollow, the eyelashes aw
uoarse and not long* and the eye-
brows are harsh, with bore and there
an irregular wavineas. 1; •>
Beside all therte, there is a fifth
class of eye which the author calls
exceptional, and which he briefly de-
fihes as "eyes not strictly pertaining
to any of the former categories." The
eye3 of the lifBt category belong to
superior people, of a high order of in
teuect. Eyes of the second category
denote ordinary intelligence and
quick comprehension, and aire of fre-
quent occurrence in commercial ^cir-
cles and in the army.' Unfortunate
people* who possess eyes of the third
category, arc stigmatized as meagre
in talent, and are to be found chiefly
among servants and the . agricultural
classes. < ' Should any reader, oh ex
aminatiou before the lookibg-glass,
discover that he. has eyqpof the fbdrth
category, he will be somewhat* star-
tled' to learn thai, according to M.
Aguirre de Venero, he is a fit subject
for jails or prisons, where many opti-
cally endowed in a similar way are
now immured. . i .

The following eloquent tribute to
the worth of woman, is from the lips
xrf- <Un„ Ham, Houston:
Woman's love is the great lever
which rouses men to action. The
General, as he plans the stratc-
getic combinations wliicli are to en-
sure victory, JOoks forward to a re-
compense dearer than the laurels up-
on his brow; the soldier, as he trudges
along on the weary march, or mingles
in the scenes of the battlefield, even
with death around him, forgets awhile
the carnage, and turns his thoughts
to the. fond girl lie left behind him;
the mariner, tempest-tossed, driven
by the rude waves, sings merrily
aloft as he thinks of th$ little cottagc
by the shore, where his wife and dear
ones await him; the statesman as he
devises, amid deep and painful
thought, plans of government, which
are to tell upon his own and his coun-
try's fame, never losfes sight of the
joys which await him when cabinet
councils arc over, and he enters the
portals of home; the sentinel, as he
paces his weary watch, loves the
moonlight tramp, that he may look
beneath its rays at the dear memento
of a mother's or a sister's love Over
man, in all his relationships, the influ-
ence of woman hangs like a charm.—
Deprive us of yout influence, which
dignities us nud stimulates us to no-
ble deeds, and we become worse than
barbariuns. Lot it be ours, and we
can brave the cannon's mouth or face
danger in ten thousand forms. You
Stiin ulate all that is good. You check
in us ignoble purposes. You have
also an important influence upon pos-
terity. _ The early impressions which
tli© child receives from you, outlive
all the wisdom of later days. Sages
may reason and philosophers may
teach, but the voici which we heard
in infancy will ever t ome to our ears,
bearing a mother's words and a moth-
er's counsels. Continue to instil into
your children virtue and patriotism,
imbue them with proper veneration
for the fathers of liberty. Learn
them to love their country, aud to
labor for i to good, as the great end of
their ambition. Bid them proudly
maintain our institutions. Point
them to the deeds of their ancestors.
Make these their escutcheon, and bitl
them hand it down to their children
as free from stain as it came to them.
Do this, ladles, and your influence
will not be lost In the future. In the
language of the poet, it will still be
said—

The difference in the estimation in
whksh General Lee and General Jack-
son were held by the army of Virgin*,
to:*¥.OBjuarkable• both were idol*,
it6' JUhLlove4 b t in ways Angular-
ly unlike. When Gen, Lee rode
down the line every head was unoov-
ered, from tho Lisatenant-Gonentl**
to the humble private's; all eyes were
"XWJ. '"tently.aud rnveHmtly oh the
martial flgnre and noble ihee of the
gi-and old hertft" and the silence was'
profound. But, .when daclwon made
his appsarauee,-and cantered past, it
was looked upuu an an oiieu of iui-
pending battle, nnd the most deafen-
ing shouts rent the air; the men Iwb-
cainc frantic, threw their hats on
high. iuyed and rolled over like chil-
dren tin the ground. Suc.h scenes in-
vsariably followed a glimpse of Jack-
son when the enfertiy were in force in
the neighborhood.
When Jackson had determined tin
on lighting, he halted beneath a tree
or any shelter that presented itself,
until the whole line had passed,'and
theu, mounting his sorry-looking but
Serviceable charger, would ride at, a
niiru gallop, with eye lixed upon the
columns, closely examiiiiug their con-
dition, until he readied the front.—
Satisfied, then of their readiness aud
trmi, he would give the simple order,
"column forward!" ftnd tho battle
was Sure to follow in n few hours.—
Jackson were careless' of his personal
appearance, unlike Lee and Briaure-
garq, who was scrupulously neat. On
one occasion, like the one above de-
scribed, Gen. Jackson galloped to the
front, clothed in a new and glittering
uniform and cavalry boots. • Gome
out of the coat, come out I .of those
boots," was the uproitious greeting he
received as soon as the change m his
costume was noticed. This .(expect-
ed salutation so anlioy«tl hiiii that he
put spurs to his horse and pushed at
full speed to tlie front.
The hold that J&cksou had upon the
attections arid devotion of his men
wus something wonderful. It Was
not that he courted popularity, or that
Perso;ial deeds savored of that
biilliatit and daslung chivalry which
rendered Gt/n. Stuart so conspicuous
and renowned; tlie secret lay in his
intense earnestness, and the heroic
and invincible determination with
which, when< his plaus were once
formed, he faced and overcame all
odds. Under his load his men were
possessed with a feeling akin to the
fatalism which animated the followers
of Mahomet. They always looked
forward with unfaltering confidence to
success.
The General's body servant was a
negro boy, who seemed to have a
prescience of any forward movement.
His camp utensils and his master's
baggage were always ready packedr
in anticipatiou.Of an order to advance.
The peculiarity excited remark among
the General's staff, and one day sev-
eral young officers called the black boy
up and asked him how he guessed so
accurately the intentions of the Gen-
eral. "Well, gemnien, whenever 1
sees Massa Stonewall get up in the
night and go to kneeling and saying
his prayers, I know there's a figlit on
hand, sure, and I makes preparations
accordin."

In one of those rapid marches by
which Gen. Stonewall Jackson sur-
prised and eonfonnded the numerous
armies arrayed against him, bis men
had marched nearly all day without a
morsel of food. Arriving at an ex-
tensivo field of ripening Tsarn,mftfiy
broke ranks and began gathering the
"roasting ear*' which they devoured
raw. Jaekson endeavored to prevent
this, and riding up to the worm fence
inside of which a stalwart and dusr.y
fellow was filling his greasy haver-
sack with the green corn, he cried out
to him:
"Come out of that field sir, and fall
into your place in the ranks."
