A Word TO You've MEN.-Extract from the
address delivered before the graduating class
Of Rutgers College, by the Hon. Theodore
Frelinghuysen:
"Resolye to do something useful, honorable,
dutiful, and do 1t heartily. Repel the thought
that you can, and therefore you may, live
above work and without it. Among the most
pitiable objects in society is the man whose
mind has not been trained by the discipline of
education; who has learned how to think of
the value Of his immortal powers, and with all
these noble faculties cultivated and prepared
for an honorable activity, ignobly sits down to
do nothing; with no influence over the public
mind; with no interest in the concerns of his
country, or even his neigbborhood; to be re-
garded as drone, without object or charac-
ter, with no hand to lift and NO effort to put
forth to help the right or defeat the wrong.
Who can think with any calmness of such q
miserable enterprise Never permit YOUR in
fuence to go into hostility to the cause of truth
and virtue. SO live that. with the Christian
poet, you may triumphantly say that
II your country stand not by your skill.
Atleast styourf follies have not wrought her fal.'''

ARTIFICIAL EYES.

The following scraps Of information as to the
employment Of artificial eyes, which we have
acquired In watching the practice at the Royal
ophtaimic Hospital, may be welcome to some
OF our readers. The success in the deception
as to appearance is generally most complete
Several very pleasing eases have fallen under
our notice, IN which glass eye, by hiding
appearance, became the means of effecting
complete revolution In the worldly prosp scts
OF the wearer. In order to complete success.
1t Is very desirable that the substitute eve
should move well
This, however, is not essential, as shouId
the two eyes not move equally, the only de-
feet suggested to the casual observer is that of
slight squlnt. To secure the movements Of
the artificial organ, the natural globe. in its
collapsed state, should, if possible. be retain-
ed In order to serve as stump. This stump
or cushion receives the attached muscles and
ooeys their movements, Of course carving

lifted upon it. If the entire globe be diseased.

should be conducted on the modern plan. wiz.

tachments, nothing whatever excepting the
globe itself being taken away. By this nre-
caution, the muscles will be left in their full
length, and becoming connected in the course
OF healing. with the mass of cellular tissue

of mobility.
Glass eyes will not wear for ever. Even
with careful patients the artificial eve gener-
ally requires TO be renewed, or at least re-en-
ameled. once year. 1t becomes coated at
the back by concretions from the tears, and is
then SO irrigating that its disuse becomes ne

tents should always remove them at night
and have them carefully washed; they should

days whenever the eye became irritated. or
greater tendency to deposite is observed
than usual. Among the poor, this liability
to soon become unwearabIe is a serious obiec
ton to their use. Some surgeons have indeed
almost ceased to recommend them to their hos

employment for cases in which the sufferer an.

PRESERVATION OF THE rvs

Ihere rs an old tradition that the evas -
strengthened, and the vision preserved in ola
age, by rubbing the closed eyelids frequently
with the finger in horizontal direction
About three years ago there was considerable
excitement in New York, by persons profess-
ing to cure weakness Of vision, yea, even re-
storing faded sight, by manipulating the eve
balls. The New York g Scslpel'' treats such
pretensions as delusive, and asserts that such
treatment as mechanical manipulation for the
eyes Is positively injurious. 1t cites some
caSes where great injury resulted 70 those who
of faded sight, and instances case OF man
VINO lost his tight forever by some one-a
fnend-who thoughtlessly came behind him
and closed his eyes firmly with his hands,
calling upon Kim 10 guess who IL was-a NOT
uncommon custom among thoughtless Young
people The eye is so very tenders sach a
hne piece OF mechanism, that il must be ham
dled and treated with great care and gentle
ness Many become shOrt-sighted at AZ early
age, constitutionally or by sickness, or by i'm
posing too much labor upon the visual or-ans.
In health the eyes will undergo much fatigue.
put they are as capable Of being oyer-taxed
as the arms or the limbs. Much reading or
writing, 10y artificial light, is very trying 20
the eyes, especially if the light Is unsteady,
13o 9r,Ihant, or too weak. A good full light,
shaded with light blue globe, is the best TO
read or write with during evening hours.
upon no consideration should q man read
more than four hours at once, by artificial
hight, and he should give his eyes ten minutes
rest after he has read two hours; this is the
experience we have gathered from not few
persons. Those who are blessed with strong
eyes should not overtax them, as many Jealous
students do by too much night study, or as
sNine =, students do, by too much night writing.
Ihere are instances on record Of a sudden loss
OF sight by strong men, who had read and
written by lamp-light, as if their eyes never
would fail, and their vision never lose its
power. The celebrated Euler lost his eve
sight by an imprudent nights study, in some
OF his mathematical calculations fhe smoke
OF lamps is very hurtful to the eyes. hence a
good circulation Of air is necessary for the
eyes as for the lungs. The " "Soalpel" as
serts that it is injurious to wash the eyes by
dipping the face in a basin and opening the
eyes In the water, and recommends cold tea
Or milk and water for bathing the eyes in pre-
ference to water itself. A very weak solution
Of the sulphate of zinc is excellent for blood
shot or surface -infsmed eyes; we have never
known 1t to fail in efecting a cure in few
lays.
