He grew to be young man. and was
busy at his books, when an old servant
came to him and said, "Thy mother is no
more. | bring her blessings on her darling
son'
Again at night he saw the star, and all
that former company. Said his sisters
angel to the leader. as my brother come 2"
And he said, "Thy mother"
A mighty cry Of joy went forth through
all the star, because the mother was reunited
to her two children. And he stretched out
his arms and cried, "Oh, mother, sister, and
brother, l am here! Take me?' And
they answered him, Not yeti" and the star
was shining.
He grew to be man, whose hair was
turning gray, and he was sitting in his chair
by the fireside heavy with grief, and with
his face bedewed with tears, when the star
opened once again.
Said his sisters angel 10 the leader, as
my brother Gomez"
And he said, "Nay, but his maiden daugh-
ter"
And the man who had been the child
saw his daughter. newly lost to him, celes
tial creature among those three, and he said
My daughters lreal is on my sisters bosom,
and her arm is around my mothers neck
and at her feet there is the baby Of old
time, and can bear the parting from her,
God be praised!"
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be An old man
and his once smooth face was wrinklcd. and
his steps were slow and feeble, and his back
was bent. And one night as he lay upon
his bed, his children standing round, lie
cried, as had cried so long ago, II see the
STAR"
They whispered to one another, "he is
dying"
And he said, ~ am. My age is falling
from me like garment, and move to
ward the star as a child. And oh, my
father, thank thee that it has so often
opened to receive those dear ones who now
await me?"
And the star was shining; and it shines
upon his grave.

Eye Sight.

Millions blindness was the result Of over
work and dyspepsia.
One of the most crtihent American d.
vines having, for some time, been compel
led to forego the pleasure Of reading. has
spent thousands Of dollars in vain, and lost
years of time, in consequence of getting
up several hours before day, and studying
by artificial light. His eyes never got
well.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life, by the too
free use Of the eycsight in reading small
print and doing fine sewing. In view of
those things, it is well to obsevere the fol-
lowing rules i'll the use Of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, or write, or sew. for
several minutes after coming from darkness
to brigh: light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
of very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front Of the
light, or window, or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from above
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on first waking, the
eyes shall open on the light of window.
Do not use the eye.sight BY light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates glare, and pains
and confuses the sight. The moment you
are sensible Of an effort to distinguish, that
moment cease, and take a walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be a
blush tinge, and the carpet green, and the
walls Of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively promp
ted to rub the eyes, that moment cease Us.
