A Forgery Exposed,

LIST. Had the jurisdiction of the crime
committed by John Brown and ais been
surrendered TO the federal government,
and Judgment delayed until the 18th of
March next, would you have exercised
the pardoning power?
"a, Do you regard the bred Scott de-
ec!slon, as binding upon the people of the
North!
To this Mr.. Lincoln is made to reply
that he had determined to answer no let
tiers addressed to him in regard to the
state of the country, but that, seeing that
Mr.. Spencer is such a good fellow, he
makes him and his harmless little ques-
tions an exception, and answers them in
this exquisitely naive and ediying style.

may appear hereafter. The act Of 1857,
which is supposed to relieve witnesses of
Congressional proceedings from prosecu-
ton, will doubtless be pleaded for the
benefit of some of the parties to this
mammoth robbery. Lawyers already
maintain that the indictment against
Messrs. Russell, Floyd and Bailey for a
conspiracy to defraud the Government,
is for crime not known in the criminal
statutes They will all probably escape

"When ought | 10 begin to use spcctaelcs?"
is the inquiry of all who, having passed the up
bill of life, are making their way downward on
the other side. The necessity of glasses comes
sooner to some than others, according to the
variety Of circumstances and conditions which
are allotted 10 human kind; hence it would be

necessity. however. comes with timely warning.
each successive one becoming more and more
decisive. TO the hearty, healthy, temperate.
and strong, the symptoms of needed spcctaclcs
begin to make their unwelcome appearance
about the age of fifty years. TO our wives, so
unwisely industrious as to stitch, stitch, stitch,

answerable plea, u have 10 do it," the ndica-

we are aware of it, ii is found that habit has
been formed Of selecting the lightest spot in
tie room for reading or fine sewing; afcr a
while, year or two more, there is either a dis
position TO put the newspaper farther from the
eye, or there is some little adjustment of it
necessary 10 enable one to read with entire
comfort; after while there is a disposition to
stop reading for 4 second or two, and wink the
eyes several times, or to rest them by looking
at something at distance, as if to gain NOR.

the eye by placing the finger near ihe line read,
as II to steady the paper, or as ifto enable the
eye to get at the line more readily.
Reader, when you find yourself reading by
the aid of your finger, thus, you are beginning
to be an old map-"gray hairs are upon you :

moisture so soon, hence do not need to be 50
often wiped. They are more expensive than
the common kind. Common glasses, in blue
steel frames, cost from one to three dollars;
pebble glasses, six dollars.
1t is very bad practice to keep the spec
tacles on all the time, ip order TO save trouble,
for the eyesight fails much moro rapidly under
spch circumstances, } and those Of greater power
must be more speedily used. When the sight
is beginning TO fail, the eyes should be favored
as much as possible. This can be dope:-
