Make Cure OF Your Eyes.

One of the most eminent American
divines, who has for some time been COM
PEELED to forego the pleasure Of reading,
has spent some thousands of dollars in
vain, and lost years of time, in conse-
quence of getting up several hours be-
fore day and studying by artificial light.
His eyes will never get well.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life, by the too
free use Of eyesight in reading fine print
and doing fine sewing. In view of these
things, it will be well to observe the fol-
lowing rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew, for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or on 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 the first awake
ing, the eye shall open on the light Of
window.
DO not use the eyesight by light to
scant that it requires an effort to discrim-
mate.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted TO rub the eyes, that moment
cease using them.
If the eyelds are glued together on
walking up, do not forcibly open them;
but apply the saliva with the finger-it
is the speediest dilutant in the world;
then wash your eyes and face in warm
water--HaWs Journal Of Health.

spectators was one of excited enthusi.
asm, which found vent in a new burst ol
applause, in compliment to the successful
matador
The door by which the riders had en-
tered was thrown open, and the trump
cts again sounded. when in came foul
well caparisoned horses driven at gal
lop, and harnessed TO a small pair ol
wheels. They stopped abruptly in front
of the carcass, and the head of the one
was quickly buckled to the axale of the
other, which being done, the driver, en-
poStillion of one of the horses, cracked his
whip, and away they galloped, dragging
the slain along the ground after them,
and disappearing the moment they pass
ed the doorway. The equestrians toll
lowed at the same rapid pace, and with
them the sickening spectacle of the bull
gored horse.
At another one Of these entertain
ments there were two new incidents
worthy of mention. A negro figure,
made Of squibs, rockets and other ffe-
works, was placed in the ring to await
the charge of the bull. The consequence
was that when he plunged his horns into
it these explosive materials burst about
his ears in hundred irregular darts
Increased rage on his part, and much
laughter and merriment among the null
titude, were the immediate results of this
scoriiication. The second novelty was
this A long, iron-headed spear, about
eight inches in circumference, was held
by one of the capeadores in such a posi-
ton that while one end rested on the
ground against spike, which prevented
its slipping back, the other and spear end
pointed towards the door through which
the bulls entered the arena. The door
was flung open, and the kneeling per-
former, who leaned forward with his
chest against the pole, poised the latter
steadily, and as the bull came bounding
forward into the ring he directed the
sharp point of the spear between his eyes.
The instantaneous result was that the
pole, owing to the force of the animals
plunge, passed through his head and
came out at the abdomen.
The sudden death Of the bull and the
plaudits Of the ten thousand were simul
taneous. "pIra! Vwa r' resounded
again and again round the arena, and
this was the last act in tho brutal play.
The gay throng sailed out into the Al
ameda And all went merry as mar
riage bell

Influence Of the Noon on Health and
verefation.


In considering the climate of foreign
countries the influence Of the moon
seems to be entirely ignored by modern
savans, but IL the tides of the ocean are
raised from their fathomless beds by lu-
mar power, it is not too much to assert
that the tides of the atmosphere are LA
bic to similar influence; this much is
certain, that in the low lands Of tropical
countries, no attentive observer of nature
will fail to witness the power exercised
by the moon over the seasons, and also
animal and vegetable nature. As re-
CARDS the latter, il may be stated that
there are certainly "thirteen springs
and ''thirteen autumnsp in Demerara in
the year; for so many times the sap as.
cends to the branches ana descends TO
the roots. For example the Wsllaba la
rasinous tree somewhat resembling ma
hogsny1 if cut down in the dark, few
days before the new moon, is one of the
most durable woods in the world for
house building, fence posts, Sc in that
state attempt to split, erd with the Ut
most difficulty it would be riven in the
most Jagged and unequal manner that
can be imagined Cut down another
Wallabs, that grew within few yards of
the former ct full moon, and the tree can
be easily split into the finest smooth
shingles Of any desired thickness, or into
slaves for making casks; but in this
state, applied to house building purpos-
es, II speedily decays. Again--bamboos
as thick as mans arm, are sometimes
used for pailng, &C.; il out at darl. moon
they will be rotten in two or three years.
Thus it is with most, if not all, forest
trees.
Of the effects Of the moon on animal
life, very many instances could be cited
/! have seen in Africa newly Uttered
young perish by the mothers side, if ex-
posed to the rays Of the full moon. Fish
become rapidly putrid, aud meat, if ex-
posed, incurrable or unprescrvable by
salt. The mariner, heeilessy sleeping
on deck, becomes affected with nyctolo-
gia or night-bl.ndness; at times the face
becomes hideously swollen if exposed du-
ring sleep TO the moons rays; the ma
MACS paroxysms are renewed with fear
full vigor at the full change OF the moon;
and the Geld, damp chill Of the ague SUI
pervenes on the a2oendency Of this mild
but powerful luminary. Let the moons
influence be better studied---it is much
more powerful than is generally suppos-
ed.--Wdrtn's History Of tie BRITISH COZ
oaies.
