TAKE CARE OF THE EYEs.-lt is When the
,eprthening shadows of lite's evening tell US
hew careless we have been, that we begin to
think seriously Of the many luxuIies we
might have garnered up, and how much
more pleasant we mightalave made the clo-
sing hours of existence. Care OF person is
an idispensible essential to hale old age,
a, d more especially should those avenues
ot the mind, the eyes, be treated gently, and
aith 'respectrul consideration" that they
nav repay us with their vigor, undiminshed
in that season when their loss is not more
welcome than death itself. Excessive light,
reading too much, or otherwise straining
the visual organs should be studiously guard
ed against. A contemporary speaks as
follows upon this topic:
Choking into fire is very injurious to
the ewes, particularly coal lire. The slim
Mons of light and heat soon destroys the
sight. Reading or sewing with side light
iniures the eyes, as both should be exposed
10 the same degree of light. The reason is,
the sympathy between the eyes is 50 great
thatif the pupil of one is being dilated by
being kept partially in the shade, the one
that is the most exposed cannot contract 1t
self sufficiently for protection, and will ul-
timately be in ured."
