APRIL 19. necessity : in them the child reads the temper of his parent, whether he is p!eased or angry; in them the wife places h...r hopes, wl.e❑ she wishes far this or tha.. trinket, and waits with impv...ience for :lie sliding and gently retiring motion of her husband's whisker's towards the ear, the happy precursor of a smile, the long-wished token of consent; and the sweat girl, whom cupid has lightly touched with the point of his dart, never fancies the azure of tlre sky so pure, but when she spies it through the Whiskers of her lover, a circumstance which generally happens when she receives a modest kiis en 'dein air. _ _ _ To the eyes of a comm. , n observer, the noses and tails of all the sheep, which the whole of Sanithfield contains on a Monday morning, are exactly alike; hut the shep!lerd who fed them, the drover who led them, the butcher who sped CI, 7.1, all perceive as great a difference between the physiognomy of this and that lamb, or ewe, as was ever noticed between the nose of the Poet Ovid, and that of the Historian Gibbon. Therefore, as there is so much of discrepancy in faces, as all sorts of prominencies give a distinctive character to physiognomy, and as the fe.ttures are the mirror of the soul, (a principle generally ad mitted by all parties since the days of Socrates, down to Lavater) why should we notstudy in Whiskers and Mustachios, the genius, the humour, the turn of mind, the morals, and passions of man. They are naturally and frequentlya proof of manliness, and are now so generally worn, that they furbish every where fuod and amusement to the lively fancy of an observer. Then Dr. Wiskerandophilus proceeds to the First Grand Division; Natural and Artifical Mustachios and Whiskers—" it has been held," says he, " as an indisputable notion, that the word Whiskers meant, for a long lapse of centuries, a tuft of hair on the upper lip, an ornament, which the lord of the creation, man, has the honour to share with leopards, cats, monkeys, and mice." We must confess, that with the latter, it is a mere affair of necessity, a sine quci non, which help their blunt sense of smelling or seeing, as a stick and a dog help a blind man along the road, but with the former animal (the Doctor means, Man), it rises to a much higher dignity; it soars abwe the vulgar and home-spun idea of use and utility; and becomos a dignified ornament, as if the coarse stick of the blind was admitted to the priviledge of ,swaggering and strutting in the lobbies of Play-homes, with all sorts of fops imaginable, from the letter A, down to the end of the Alphabet. However, since the Whisker, which was then identically the same as the Itlustachio, assumed another shape, and appeared on another part of the face, the Doctor has very properly, and classically, distinguished one from the other; and as his Treatise is written in Latin, has called the first Whiskera, and the second, accord ing to the old custom, Mustachia. We must observe, bye the bye, that we have bad here, for a certain lapse of time, a tremendous specimen of the latter order, named Mustachia Baronali Gerambica ; it was imported from Hungary through Spain, and seemed to have had a desire propense to thrive and Fullulate in this country; but it became soon so troublesome r. seed, tint our head-gardeners were obliged to root it entirely off, and to send it, properly packed, where it originated from. This kind is also hinted at by our great dramatic Bard in As Thu Like It, where he says : It Then, a soldier ; Full of strange oaths, and bearded like a pard, Jealous of honour —" And again— - - " The justice, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut ;" By these last words it appears that, in his time, Wit, Which now, (as the Songster will have it) is in the Whig, had not yet migrated, and resided still in the Whiskers and beard, as strength, in the case of Judge Sampson was safely lodged in his hair. (To be Continued.) Baron Geramb is said to have written, before he embarked at Har stteb, a mo s t f ur i ous an d b om b ast i c man if esto , proc l a i m i ng the injuries Which he had received from the British Government, and threatening the nation with his vengeance. He declares that he will throw himself uPon the mercy of the great Napoleon, who, he is sure, will pardon Inn for offering his services to this country; and he adds, that he will make his wrongs resound from the batiks of the Seine to those of the Danube. Thule wrongs, he says, were inflicted upon him, not only by the Government, but by the Newspapers; and he wi.l, some time or other, come here at the head of his tremendous Croats, and take ven geance upon u s .
