Phrenology.
" The mind is the standard of the man " In reference to Mr McAipine'i course of lectures commencing in the Assembly Rooms on Monday, we clip the following from the Wanganui Herald :— ln this age of bustle and competition it is important that every individual fills the position in lite that his natural abilities fit him for, and so before he enters upon this great struggle for existence, he should endeavour to know with a^ certainty in what calling or pur-suit m life the most can be accomplished. Very few men in the ordinary pursuits of life come up to their highest capabilities. It is true that some, by mere accident or good fortune, without definite knowledge of the r own powers, stumble upon a situation to which they happen to be well adapted, and in which, without a struggle, thej rise to eminence. They are said to be " luokly," while thonsands of others who are highly educated, pursue a respectable, though aimless and tiresome course, chosen with I out regard to their adaptation to it, and ! which brings them •' neither honour nor I profit." Mr McAlpine seems to *-c complete master of the science in all its ! branches, and in his hands Phrenology points out clearly and unmistakably the most suitable calling, to whioh the abilities of eacb individual are best adapted.
