Gymnastics for the Eyos.


DR.. Holland is now writing, in the Springfield
Republican, series of essays entitled "Rumin.
ations." In the first chapter he speaks thought.
fully and beautifully Of the inflinty which lies
below us-the wond ers which are discoyerable
In little things. Here Is an illustration, from
which he deduces valuable lesson:
These thoughts come to me, borne by certain
memories. remember a venerable gentle
man of Buffalo-Dr. Scott-who did. and WIN
still does, very great things In very small way.
At the age of seventy he became conscious of
decaying power Of vision. Being professionally '
a physician and naturally philosoper, he con.
ceved the idea that the eye might be improved
by what he denominated q series of "ocular
gymnastics" He, therefore, undertook to ex.
erclse his eyes upon the formation of minute
letters-working upon them untilt organs be.
gan to be weary, and then, like prudent man.
resting for hours BY progressing slowly and care.
fully, he became, at last, able to do wonders In
the way of fine writing, and also became able
to read the newspapers without glasses. (Here's
a hint for some clever Yankee-as good as A
fortune.) Now, reader, prepare for large
story; but be assured that il is true, and that
my hands have handled and nv ewes seen the
things Of which tell you. At the age OF seven
ty.one, DR.. Scott wrote upon an enamelled card
with stile, on space exactly equal to that of
one side ofa three cent piece-The Lcrd's Pray
er, the Apostles Creed, the Parable of the Ten
Virgins, the Parable of the Rich man and Lag
arus, the Beatitudes, the fifteenth Psalm, the
one hundred and twentyeth Psalm the one
hundred and thirty-third Psalm, the one hund-
red and thirty-frst Psalm, and the figures "ls-
60" Every word, every letter and every pune.
tuation, Of all these passages, was written ex-
quisitely on,this minute space, land that old man
not only saw every mark he made, but had the
delicacy of muscular action and steadiness of
nerve to form the letters so beautifully that
they abide the test of the highest magnifyinp
power. They were, of course, written by mi
croscopic aid.

The Bottom Of the Sea.

Our investigations 60 to show that the
rearing waves and the mightiest billows of the
ocean repose, not upon hard or troubled beds
but upon cushions of still water; that every
where at the bottom of the deep sea the solid
ribs OF the earth are protected, as with a gar
ment, from the abraiding action ofits currents
that the cradle Of its restless waves ia lined by
stratum OF water at rest, or 80 nearly at res,
that Ii can neither wear nor move the liphtesi
bit OF drift that once lodges there The uni
form appearance Of these micros Jpic shells, and
the almost total absence among them of eny
sediment from the sea or foreign matter, aug.
gest most forcibly the idea of perfect repose at
the-bottom of the sea- Some OF the specimens
are as pure and as free from sea sand as the
fresh fallen snow fake is from the dust of the
earth. Indeed these soundings almost prove
that the sea, like the snow cloud with its flakes
in calm, is always letting fall upon its
bed showers of these minute shells; and we
may readily imagine that the wrecks
which strew Its bottom are, In the pro.
cess OF ages, hidden under this discy cover
Ing, presenting the rounded appearance which
Is seen over the body of the traveller who has
perished In the SHOW storm. The ocean, espe-
cially within and near the tropics, sgarms with
life. The remains of myriads of moving thing
are conveyed by currents, and scattered and
LOGGED in the course Of time all over it's bottom.
This process, continued for ages, has covered
the depths of the ocean as with o mantle, con-
sisting Of organisms as delicate as hoar. frost,
and as light In the water as down Is in the air.
The tooth of running water Is very sharp, See
how the Niagara has cut its way through layer
after layer Of solid rock. But what Is the Nj
agara, with all the fresh water courses of the
world, BY the side ofthe great currents Of ocean,
And what is the pressure Of fresh water upon
river beds in coml garrison with the pressure Of
ocean water upon the bottom of the deep seat
II is not 80 great by contrast as the CUTTERS in
the streets are to the cataract. Then why have
not the currents Of the sea worn Its bottom
away? Simply because they have not been per.
misted to get down to it.-Aa The Year Round.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil

Is constitutional disease, a corruption NJ tha

weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, 4
peryades the whole body, and NAV burst ont

caused by mercurial disease, low living dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air. alth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices. and.
above all, by the venereal infection. Whaf.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
INTUITION, descending " from parents TO children

it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, "i

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tuoercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores, This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies OF life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of tbe consumption which de-
climates the haman family has It's origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrohllous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined BY IT,
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

:. Webster had an anecdote of old Father Searl,
the minister Of his boyhood, which has never
been in print, and which is too good to be lost.
Il was customary to wear buckskin breeches In
cold weather. One Sunday morning in the an.
tumn, Father 6earl brought down his from
the garret; but the wasps had taken possession
Of them during the summer, and were having d
nice time of it in them. By dnt of effort, be got
out the intruders and dressed for meeting. Bat
while reading the Scriptures to the congrega--
ton, he felt dagger from one of the enrsged
small waisted fellows, and jumped around the
pulpit, slapping his thighs. Bat the more he
slapped and danced, the more they stune. THE
people thought him crazy. and were in commo-
tion as to what to do; but he explained the mat
ter BY saying, Brethren, don'tbe alarmed; the

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever, or Feyer and Ague,
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
Tor the whole class OF diseases Originate
Ing In hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity: Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatc poison of FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
veopment Of the disease, II taken on the first ap-
proach OF its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings II within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinno
or mineral, consequently it produces no qninism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
ton. Those cured by it are loft as healthy as il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rhean,atisn,, Goa, Headache, Blind
ness, 1oothache, Earuche, CdtdyTh, asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hystsr-
ics, Pain an tie Boioels, Colo, Paralysis and De-
Of Me Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the itermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
mittents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

the most efectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. II is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE

more is it true Of our American volunteer
forces, where the men Of the ranks have
come from the same social st standing al their
officers, and are the equals Of their officers
in many cases. The warm heart, ardent
patriotism, and daring bravery Of Stephen
Miller have won for him in the late en-
gasement, the highest renown. When
our shattered regiment was momentarily
repulscd, and thrown into some disorder,
he left his horse, and, sword in hand, rail-
he'd and cheercd hia men on to the attack
again. We have believed from the first,
he would make a brave and skillful officer,
aud his conduct IN the late action has fully
