NUMBER A.
Successful Operation,

A singular case happened few days ago
in the practice Of d. A. g. Walters, of this
city. George Keeny, resident Of Indiauap
oils, has bad for the last ten years an obstruc-
tion in the vision Of the right eye occasioned
by the presence Of living body. which float
ed or moved in the liquid Of the anterior Of
the eye. 1t was quite small at first, but
within year or two had increased in SIZE
and activity, 80 rs not only to obstruct the
vision, but be productive Of great pain.
Two attempts had been made bv eminent
surgeons in Cincinnati, and Lou sville, to re-
move il, but in vain, as the little animal sue
cesded in elud ng capture. The patient put
himself under the care of Dr. W., who sue
ceeded in relieving him, by making an incis-
ion into the eye, only large enough to allow
of the introduction of minute pair of for
ceps, and carefully guarding against the es-
cape Of the AQUEOUS humor, which baf1ed
the other surgeons, as, when the animal found
1t leaving him, it shipped into the posterior Of
the eye, aud could not be reached. He thus
seized and removed it. 1t was a worm, about
one-eighth Of an inch in length, by six
teenlh; was milky color, and very active.
After catching the worm. the Doctor was
compelled to enlarge the incision on the cor
ner, for the purpose Of removing it. Cases
similar TO the present have been occasionally
obs rved, and the worms are similar to those
found frequently in the stomach. and some-
times, though very rarely, iu the inner ear
from which, in case in Pittsburg, Dr. W. ex-
treated one two inches in length.
The interest Of this ope's alton is increased
by the fact that the animacula h ad twice be-
fore eluded capture, owing to its activity in
retreating its fastnesso', beyond the reach of
the surgeons PttSJWg Jour-

PLAIN TALK.--Rev Nathaniel Howe, Of
Hopknton, Mass, was famous for talking with
correctness ofspeech. In one Of his publish
ed discourses we find the following passage.
which was addressed to his people:
"Your habits are so firmly fixed, that no
reformation is to be expected during my min.
i'try and indeed it would require more pow.
er in the Deity 10 effect it, than it did to ere.
ate the world, for when he created the world
he had only to say, Let there be light. and
there was light He had no opposition.
But to bring you TO sense Of justice and
equity, he must overcome your private. per-
sonal attachments to your supposed worldly
interest, and that would require more power

The PcdIer,s Bargain.

One day a tin pedler, with an assortment Of
nick-nacks arrived at a village in Maine, and
called at one of the houses to sell his wares
After disp6sing Of a lew articles to the lady
Of the house, who seemed to live in the midst
Of children, she declared her utter inability to
buy more for the want of money.
But, marin, an't you got any rags?"
"None o SELL"
"Wen," said he, "you seem to have plen-
ty Of children. Will you sell me one for tin
wares"
"What will you give?'
"Ten dollars for one Of them"
ain good tin ware %
"Ohl yes. marin, The best"
She then handed one of the urchins to the
pedler, who, surprised that the offer was ac-
cepted, yet convinced that the mother would
not part with her boy, placed him in the cart
and supplied the woman with tin until the Slu
was made up.
The man felt certain that the mother would
raise the money rather than part with her
child seated himself by the boys side, who
was much pleased at the idea of having =
ride. The pedler kept his eyes on the house
expecting to see the woman hasten TO redeem
the little one, and rode off at slow pace
After proceeding some distance, he began te
rep~nt of his bargain and turned back.
The woman had just finished ornamentine
her dress with the lin, when the pedler re-
turned.
"Well, think The boy Is too small. CUES.
you had better take him back, and let mt
have the ware"
"No sir, the bargain was fair, and yoh shall
keep it. You may go just as soon as yor
please"
Surprised at this, the pedler exclaimed
"Why marin, how can you think of part
ing with your boy, so very young, to stran
ger?"
"Oh! sir, we would like to sell off all ou
town paupers at the price of ten dollars pc
head"
The boy was dropped at the door, The whiI
cracked, the tin ratified, the pedler measure.
