An Eve for an Eye.

An ingenious instrument, called
the opbthalmoscope, by the aid Of
which the eye may be internally ex-
amined, has recently been introduced
to tie notice Of the scientific world.
The instrument is in the form Of a
concave mirror, with a hole in the
centre, in which lens is inserted,
and to this another lens is added,
which, however, is separated and
movable. When the instrument is
used, lighted candle is placed at
the side OF the patient. The eoncare
mirror is then held in front Of the
eye to be examined, while the move
able lens is suspended between the
light and the mirror In such man.
ner as to concentrate the rays of the
first on the second. The reflected
rays converge On the retina, and on
passing through it, diverge and rem
deI luminous the whole interior Of the
eye, which the observer can see by
looking through the lens placed in
the mirrors centre. The retina and
the lens form a microscope, the null
tiply; ing power of which is about FIVE

A joking ParSon.

The R=v. Gir. Peters of Tennessee,
was preaching, and having a large
gift of continuance, was somewhat
protracted in his discourse. Several
of his hearers left in the midst Of bis
sermon. One young man was on his
way, to the door, when Mr.. Peters
pointed his long fingers at him and
said:
Brethren, that young man has just
as good right to 60 ou. as any one. ="
1t is needless to say that be vas
the last deserter.
At another time, when Mr.. Peters
was preaching, a young man started
to leave the house, and making some
noise as he went, Mr.. Peters paused
and said:
Il will finish my discourse when
that yOung man gets oct"
The fellow very coolly took his seat,
and said:
''Then it will be some time before
you get through"
The preacher, however. was Up to
him, and remarking, "a bad promise
is better broken than kept" went on
with his sermon.

A ShepIIerd's Doe.

From G alilornia paper we clip
the following account of a shepherd s
dog:
A friend OF ours who owns n large
ranch and several hundred head OF
sheep, is the fortunate possessor Of
one of the best dogs in the State
The intelligent creature has been
brought up among the sheep, nour-
ished on ewes milk, his whole life
being passed with the flock and de-
voted 10 its defence. He has been
taught to open and shut the fold into
which they are driven at night, and
he cares for than with all the ap2a-
rent tboughtlulness that a human be-
ing could display. In the morning
when the flock is driven to the field,
he goes with it, selects some comman-
ding place, and watching the sheep
during the whole day, drives up the
stragglers, and allows no one but those
with whom he is acquainted to APP
proach. Should eve drop lamb
and pass on without noticing it, as
she sometimes will, he has been
known to take it up and carry it af
ter her, and compel her to take care
Of it. At night be GfiTes the sheep
into the pen, astens the door after
him. and seating himself in their
midst, lays there watching them all
night. In the morning he unfastens
the door, drives out his charge to the
pasture, and keeps ward aud watch
until night comes. In fact, so faith
ful is he, that bis master frequently
abSents himself for days together,
with perfect reliance on bis dog TO
find all safe when be returns.

Charity.

tnUItJ
When You meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As thing of evil name:
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Tet may soil thy goOdly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin;
Think if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain!
Or look Of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again?
There are spots that bear 10 flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers gentle showers
Never make their blossoms glad;
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging Others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

Advantages Of a Spree.
AS we often give facts and OK

. L
AS we often give facts and opin-
ions illustrative of the evils OF
going on bust, we feel bound to
give both sides a fair hearing.
Among the few instances of advan-
tage resulting from spree, the
Cleveland, Ohio, Plaindealer vouches
for the following, as true In every
particular: -
ga produce operator from Water
town, N, Y, watching. the signs Of
the times and argGing that when
wheat vas down to 90 cents, and coru
35 to 10, in Chicago, they could
not get much lower, went to the
grain city and invested his pile,
some $4,000 in "stub-tail'' corr.
This is last years growth, and is
called "sub.taii" because about one
third oft is rotten, and fit for nothing
but to make mean Thiskey. He
bought ii at very low figure, and
had it all put into one pile in big
ware house, where it was to wait
"rise" severol days elapsed and
there was no inquiry for ''s.ub-tail. ;"
He played billiards, rode around the
city, and occasionally took a ''nipper'
by way Of keeping his courage up.
At length be was informed that his
corn was heating. He examined the
pile, and found it shot as hades.'
Surprising il was all up with him,
he went off on a BENDER" and, for
thirty days, be did not know stub
tail from a No. l corn. At length
he blowed OUT: cooled of, and. upon
examining his corn again, found that
it had cooled off also, and without
damaging it a whit. He opened his
eyes to the market reports, and found
bis corn had SO risen in price that
be found no difficulty in selling it
at a good round profit of eleyen thou
sand eight hundred dollars"
The usual way Of making money
out of a spree is that described as
follows by the Autocrat of the Break
fast Table, in the story of Mas
sachusetts King of the Shoe Deal
ers:"
Years ago when living at Milford,
not half as rich as he is now, and of
course not half as respectable, he
went to militia training at Woos-
ter. The Maine Law was not then
thought of in the Bay State,' and
the liquor circulated freely. Our
friend enterin g into the spirit of the
scene, treated everybody
not excepted. Two OF 'Dree days
after, he returned to Milford, and
putting up bold face on the mat
ter, walked iUto Deacon T-s
shop and cried out: We'll, Deacon,
| made one hundred and fifty dol
lars by going to Wooster! The
strong Yankee curiosity kept back
the solemn lecture in store, and look
ing at him, as his appearance gave
more signs of an aching head than
full pocket, the Deacon asked,
How?' Why said the returned
prodigal, L had spree worth
/ two hundred and fifty dollars, and il
only cost me hundred. tie

Bathing Children in Cold Water

If parents will use cold water
on their own persons, let me entreat
them to have mercy on their helpless
children. Do heed their cries and
entreaties % warm it just little =
Nothing is more heatbenish and bar
barous than to bathe children in cold
or nearly cold water. | believe it in
furious to wash our hands and faces
in cold winter water. Those who do
it, will find shat they have rough and
cracked skins.
The suffering of children while be-
ing washed is but small when com
pared with the evil effects that often
follow the application of cold water
to the head, viz: congestion of the
head or lungs, especially the latter.
True, cold water so applied will make
precoeious children. and it will also fiji
the graveyard with the opening buds
of infancy. j think 1t will be found
that more children die With head dis.
eases since the use Of water has been
in vogue than before; and for the rea.
son already given.
The fact is, the brain requires and
receives more blood than any other
organ in the system. The application
of cold water to the head increases
the amount. and hence. it is no un-
common thing that children, especial
ly 'smart ones" die as above stated
with head diseases. Indeed. it has
become proverb among our mothers
at least, "that such children are too
smart to live" and it is SO.
By such treatment the brain be-
comes too active and large for the
body, and, like powerful engine in
small boat, soon skaters it to pieces
and sends it to the bottom. ! can
not close my remarks without entreat-
ing mothers in the name Of humani-
ty not to attempt to toughen, as it is
called, their children by half clothing
them in cold weather My heart has
ached as / have seen them thus ex-
posed to the piercing winds ofa north
EN- winter. Manya mother has thus
sown the seeds Of premature death
in her offspring; for which she has So
laced herself by calling it a "myste-
rious Providence. %
If you would have healthy, robust
children. see that they are warmly
clad, especially their extremities.--
In connection with cold bathing, |
would utter my disclaimer against the
prevailing practice Of rubbing tie skin
with coarse rough towels or horse
brushes. No error in the water treat
ment is more injurious. A healthy
skin is smooth, soft, and velvet.like;
and anything that irritates it and
makes it rough is injurious,
But few OF the people understand
the functions of the skin, or the i'm
portance of a healthy skin to a
healthy body, My limits will not al
low Of my discussing the matter here.
At some future time ] may take it
up. I approve Of gentle rubbing of
the skin with soft cloths; or better,
With the bare hand. But it should
not be rubbed any way to produce
unpleasant sensations.

Mr.. and Mrs. Porter, residing in
Russell county, Ala, were found one
day last week, the latter in her bed,
dead, andgthe former insenslble.--
Subsequently, Mr.. Porter revived for
time, and stated that during the
night his wife awakened him, and
told him that she heard some one in
thehouse; that he started to get out
of bed, when several heavy blows
we're dealt him. OF what happened
afterwards he knew nothing, Mrs,
Porter had been beaten to death by
blows upon the. head and elsewhere,
having been previously brutally out
