AN OLD DITTY MODERNIZED.

Oh ! where are you going to, my pretty maid ? To dance at a german, sir, al«e said. Oh ! shall I go with you, my pretty maid ? If you are invited, sir, she said. Oh ! what is your father, my pretty maid ? My father's a banker, sir, she said. And what is your mother, my pretty maid ? A leader of fashion, kind sir, she said. Pray what is your fortune, my pretty maid? A cool half-a-million, kind sir, she said. Oh ! then I will marry you, my pretty maid. I think you're mistaken, kind sir, she said.

Iv estimating human character, says a medical writer, the ear affords a better criterion than any of the other features. An ear which presents no well-defined elevations and depressions indicates selfishnesis aud want of delicacy of perception. The possessor of a thick, well-shaped, highly-tinted appendage, set well forward, is usually ungrateful, grasping and lacking in depth of feelings. A thin ear indicates keen susceptibility ; and an ear that projects from the head, alertness. A broad ear is more coarsely practical. The perfect ear is one which lies close to the head, and is gracefully rounded with pretty curves, strong I lines, and firm, delicately-tinte4 cartilage. A lamb can distinguish its mother's cry among a hundred similar souuds. It is the same with a boy ; but it may be remarked that a boy doesn't pay the same attention to his mother's cry that the lamb does.
