How THE EYE is SWEPT AND WASHED. For
us 10 be able 10 see objects clearly and dis
tinctly, il is necessary that the eye should be
kept moist and clean. For this purpose, ii is
furnished with little gland, from which flows
a watery hOOd-tears-Which is spread over
the eye by the lid, and is afterwards swept of
by it, and runs through hole in the bone to
the inner surface Of the nose, where the warm
air, passing over it while breathing, evspOrates
it. 1t is remarkable that no such gland can
be found in the eyes Of fish, as the element in
which they live answers the same purpose. III
the eye had not been furnished with liquid
to wash it, and lid TO sweep it of, things
would appear as they do whom we look through
dusty glass. Along the edges Of the eye lid
there are a great number Of little tubes or
glands, from which fow an oily substance
which spreads over the surface Of the skin, and
thus prevents the edges from becoming sore or
irrtated. and It also helps to keep the tears
within the nd
There are also six little muscles attached 10
the eye which enable US 20 move il in every
direction; and when we consider the different
motions they are capable Of giving 10 the eve,
we cannot but admire the goodness of Him

that formed them, and thus saved US the
trouble of turning our heads every time we
wish to view an object Although the eyes Of
some animals are incapable Of motion, as the
fly, the beetle, and several other insects, yet
the Creator has shown his wisdom and good
ness in furnishing their eyes with little globes,
and by placing their eyes in front of their
heads so that these little insects can see almost
all around them without turning their heads
A gentleman who has examined the eyes of a
fly says that the two eyes of a common one are
composed of eight thousand little globes,
through every one of which it is capable Of
forming an object. Having prepared the eye
of fly for the purpose, and placed it before a
microscope, and then looking through both in
the manner Of the telescope at steeple which
was 290 feet high and 750 feet distant and he
says be could plainly see through every little
hemisphere the whole steeple inverted or
turned upside down.

Men and Women.
BY A YOUNG WIFE.

A woman is naturally gratifed when a man
singles her out and addresses his conversation
to her. She takes pains 10 appear to the best
advantage, but without any thought of wilfully
misleading
How different is it with men, At least IL is
thus that women in general think Of men. The
mask with them is deli berat tely put on and worn
as mask, and woe betide silly girl who is too
weak or too unsuspiciOus not to appear dis
pleased with the well turned compliments and
hattering attentions 80 layishly bestowed upon
her by her partner at the ball. If girl has
brothers she sees a little behind the scenes and
is saved much modification and disappoint-
ment. She discovers how little men mean by
attentions they so frequently bestow upon the
last new face which take, their fancy
Men sre slngularly wanting in good feeling
upon this subject; they pay girl marked at
tention, fatter her in every way, and then.
perhaps, when warned by some judcious friend
that they are going too far, "can hardly be-
lieye the girl could be 80 foolish as 10 fancy
that anything was meant"
The fault which strikes women most forcibly
in men is SelfStHeSS. They expect too much
in every way, and become impatient if their
comforts and peculiaIities are interfered with.
If the men of the present day were less selfish
and self-indulgent, and more willing to be con.
tented and happy upon moderate means, there
would be fewer causes Of complaint against
young women undertaking situations as gov
ernesses when they are wholly unfit for so re-
sponsible an Office. feel the deepest interest
in the present movement for the improvement
Of the female sex but could not resist the
temptation of lifting up my voice in testimony
against some of the everyday faults Of men, to
which think many of the follies and weak
nesses of women are mainly to be attributed
Mr.. Thackeray is the only writer of the
present day who touches, with any severity,
upon the faults Of his own sex. He has shown
us the style of women that he thinks men most
admire. in Amelia, and ''Mrs Pendennis -
Certainly my own experience agrees with this
opinion and until men are sufficiently i'm
proved to be able 70 appreciate the higher
qualities in women, and to choose their wives
among women who possess such qualities, do
not expect that the present desirable move
ments will make much progress The improve
ments OF both sexes must be simultaneous A
"gentlemans" horror is still ''blue stocking"
which unpleasing epithet is invariably be-
slowed upon all women who have read much
and who are able to think and act for them
selves.
