LOOKING-GLASS. 
We find refpeftfui feiitiments conveyed with a 
natural pofture, attention, and a flight ftoop ; while 
even the eye-brows Hope towards the nofe, and 
curve a little about the temples. 
Grief has its particular exprellions ; a languifli* 
ing air, a heavy countenance, a relaxation of ajl 
the mufcles ; the head carelefsly leaning upon 
either fhoulder, prickly eye-brows, half-funk eyes 
of a pale yellowifh colour ; the corners of the lips 
pointing downwards, and fliewing what we juflly 
call a chap-fallen wretch. 
Other emotions depend on mental or conftitu- 
tional weaknefs, with (hades of difference between 
them, and greater agitations in their gradations 
from timidity to fright ; while the foul flirinks with 
fliame upon itfelf, as we may fay, and, from a ftate 
of dejection, falls into the lowefl: degree of mifery, 
— infanity. Thefe varying fltuations have equally 
their fymptoms marked upon the countenance. 
When we are frightened, while our eye-brows 
ftand on ends, with their mufcles contracted 5 the 
forehead is wrinkled ; the eye-lids open, and try to 
conceal themfelves under the eye-brows, in fuch a 
manner as to difcover almoft: all the white of the eye 
above the pupil, which falls and hides itfelf behind 
the low^er lid : the mouth ^apes, the lips ftretch 
out, difcovering the teeth and gums, with all the 
veins of the difcoloured and disfigured face j for 
even the hair then briftles and ftands on ends.
