WILL YOU REMEMBER THIS life is short
ened by indulgence in anger il-will, anxiety,
envy, grief, sorrow, and excessive care The
vital powers are wasted by excessive bodily
exercise in some cases, and want of due por-
tion in others.

Prescott, the historian, IN consequence
of disorder of the nerve Of the eye,

cause failed 10 make mark. He used
an agate stylus on earbonated paper, the
lines and edges Of the page being indi-
Gated by brass wires in a wooden frame.
Crawford, the sculptor the habit Of
whose life had been to read ina reclining
position, lost one eye, and soon died from
the formation Of malignant cancerous
tumOr behind the bali, which pushed il
out on the cheek.
There are many affections of the eyes
which are radically incurabIe. Persons
Of scrofulous constitutions, without any
special local manifestation Of it, often de-
termine the disease to the eye by some
erroneous habit or practice, and it remains
there for life. 1t is useful, therefore, to
know some of the causes which, by debi-
litating the eye, invite disease to it, or
render 1t incapable Of resisting adverse
influences. -oo
Avoid reading by candle or any other
artificial light.
Reading by twilight ought never to be
indulged in.
Do not allow yourself to read a mo-
ment in any reclining position, whether
in bed or on a sofa.
Reading on steam OF sail vessels should
not be largely indulged in, because the
slightest motion Of the page or your body
alters the focal point, and requires a
painful, straining effort to readiust it.
Never attempt to look at the sun while
shining, unless through a colored glass of
some kind: even a very bright moon
should not be long gazed at.
The glare of the sun on water is very
injurious to the sight.
A sudden change between bright light
and darkness is always pernicious.
In looking at minute objects, relieve the
eyes frequently yturning them to some.
thing in the distance. .i
Let the light, whether natural or arti6-
cial, fall on the page from behind, little
to one side.
Never bathe or open the eyes in cold
water. 1t is always safest, best and more
agreeable TO use warm water for that
purpose. aa

Why this Intense Desire for
Wealth.

The reply is, it results from the indis-
criminate respect paid to wealth.
To be distinguished from the common
herd-to be somebody-to make name,
a position-this is the universal ambition;
and every one finds that to accumulate
riches. is alike the surest and the easiest
way of fulfilling his ambition. Very
early in life all learn this. AT school
the court paid to one whose parents have
called in their carriage to see him, is
conspicuous; while the poor boy, whose
insufficient stock of clothes implies the
small means of his family soon has burnt
into his memory the fact that poverty is
contemplate. On entering the world,
the lessons that may have been taught,
about the nobility of self-sacrihce, the
reverence due 10 genius, the admirable
ness of high integrity, are all quickly
neutralized by counter experience mems
actions proving that these are not their
standards of respect. It is soon per-
ceived that while abundant outward marks
of Difference from fellow-citizens may
almost certainly be gained by directing
every energy to the accumulation Of prop
erty, and they are but rarelyto be gained
in any other way; aud that even in the
few cases where they are otherwise gain
ed, they are not given with entire unre-
serve, but are commonly Joined with a
more or less manifest display of patron
age. When seeing this, the young man
further sees that while the acquisition of
property is ute possible with his medi-
ocre endowments, the acquiremant Of
distinction by brilliant discoveries, or he
roiC acts, implies faculties and feelings
which he does not possess: it is not diff
icult to understand why he deyOtes him
self, heart and soul to business.
We donot mean to say that men act on
the constantly reasoned out conclusions
thus indicated but we mean that these
conclusions are the unconsciously formed
products of our daily experience. From
early childhood the sayings and doings
of all around have generated the idea
that wealth and respectability are two
sides of the same thing. This idea, grow
ing with their growth, and strengthening
with their strength, becomes at last al
most what we may call an organic con-
viction. And this organic conviction II
is which prompts the expenditure Of all
their energies IN mOney-making. We
contend that the chief stimulus, IS not the
desire for wealth itself; but for the ap.
plause and position which wealth brings.
And in this belief we find ourselves thor
oughly at one with various intelligent ira
ders with whom we have talked on the
matter. 1t is incredible that men should
make the sacrifices mental and bodily,
which they do, merely, TO get material
benefits which money purchases. Who
would undertake an extra burden of busi-
ness for the purpose Of getting cellar
of choice wines for his own drinking
He who does it does it that he may have

row, dreadful as it was, has not been
without its salutary influence. Now the
widowed woman is the welcome visitor by
the bedside Of the sick. Her gentle
voice sooths as the voice of moshef-her
hands touch is like the pressure of vel
vet, her very sympathy is as The sweetest
cordial. And if ever she is tempted to
think an inpatient thought. or give ex-
preston 10 a selfish wish, there comes up
before her the vision of a pale face that,
but for her neglect, might be smiling on
her now-and with the rebuke working
patience in her heart. she goes about her

A Dead Failure.

An attempt to build up a new Democratic
party under the digbiied title of the Estates
Rights Democracy" with Forney as'ieader,
has proven the most dismal political failure
of the times 1t would really be work of
charity, says the Patriot and Union, for some
respectable Democratic paper to bestow a
word of encouragement upon the ragged, bald
and crippled thing The Anti-Lecompton
press of the State refuses to acknowledge it,
instead of giving the encouragement and
suppurt which were Anticipated by the prcjec-
tors of the movement, arc unsparing IN their
blows. OF this class of Democratic newspa-
pers, the Somerset Democrat is among he
most able and vigorous. In commenting with
deserved severity upon the proceedings at
Altoona, 1t administers the following advice
TO this faction:
1--WE understand that it is the intention of
this States Rights Democratic party, when
the proper time arrives. to make aD energetic
effort to secure majority of delegates to the
next 4th of March Convention To this We
have no objection. But we tell them now,
in advance, that unless they roll up their
sleeves and go zealously to work for the sue
cess of the regularly nominated Democratic
State Ticket at the next election, they will
find themselves nowhere when these delegates
come to be chosen. No disorgabizing move
ment can carry the Anti-Lecompcon senti-
ment of the State with it. and the sooner the
leaders of this Democratic State Rights fac
ton are made aware Of this fact perhaps the
better. There is vast difference between
genuine AnG-Lecompton Democrat, and
bogus one who makes it his business to en-
deavor to defeat the regular party organiza-
ton. and who gives aid and comfort TO the
common enemy.

Horrible from the Plains.

Sr. Louis, May %.
The regular correspondent of the Demo-
crat, writing from Denver city, on the 9th
inst, recounts most deplorable condition of
things on the plains. Many of the emigrants
were dying of starvation, while others were
subsisting on prickly pears and wild onions
found along The road. The Stage Agent re-
ports picking up man named Blue, who was
reduced to skeleton from starvation. He
bad started with bis TWO brothers. One of
them died, and the remaining two ate his
body. Another died, and he in turn was
nearly devoured by the survivor A man
named Gibbs had reached the mines in a
starving condition, and he expressed the opin-
ion that his party, numbering nine, had all
perished. Many graves are reported along
the route, and much property had been aban-
doDed and destroyed on the road
The writer of the letter says that the de-
partures from the mines are about equal 20
the arrivals.
