(Juick to learn and understand ; remarkably smart and knowing, and love action—to keep doing—for its own sake ; wide awake ; eager; Uncommonly quick to think and feel; sprightly in conversation ; ver- satile in talent; flexible ; suggestive ; abounding in idea ; apt at most things; exposed to consumption, because action exceeds strength ; early ripe; brilliant; liable to premature exhaustion and disease, because the mentality predominates over the vitality, of which the late Captain Knight, who had a world-wide reputation for activity, enterprise, daring, impetuousness, promptness, judgment, earnestness! executiveness, affability, and spright- liness, furnishes a good example. 6*—Are active, restless, brisk, stir- ring, lively, anything but lazy, with a good organism ; are quick-spoken ; clear-headed; understand matters and things at the first glance; see right into and through business, and all they touch readily; are real workers with head or hands, but prefer head-work ; positive ; the one thing or the other; and are strongly pre-inclined to the intellectual and moral. Their characters, unless per- verted, like their persons, ascend instead of descending ; and they are better adapted to law, merchandise, banking, or business than to farming, or heavy mechanical work. Yet, if mechanics, should choose those kinds requiring more sprightliness than/ strength, and mind than muscle. 6 or 4.-Have a fair, but only fair, share of natural activity and 1| noUovp 1 dr° W-?at th6y Wdl and with tolerable ease, but do not love action for its own sake. ’ Lirafhar inactive i d0 onl7 what they must, and that gnldg.
