PHILADELPHIA Oct Ii. 1862.
From injuries received in my right eye when a
boy, chronic Inflammation had been produced. in
consequence of which suffered constant martyr

variety of remedies had been resorted TO with
out success and entertained the purpose. as last
resort. of having the ball taken out of its socket in
the hope of thus finding relief.
In the meantime, most proyidentially i noticed
one day in shop window a bottle of POOR RICH
ARDS EYE WATER. had never heard OF IL be-
fore, but determined to try it, and did with the
delightful results. In a very few days the painful
irritation removed i could bear the strongest
light. and went forth to the enjoyment of a life
I now keep bottle of il railways in the house and If
my eye at all disposed to annoy me- give it a
dose, and that is an end of it, would not be with

Our nation is committed before the world to

stood by, in his humble garb. very modestly
suggested that he had some little acquaint-

them. "Try it. try it" said Pope. with the
air Of boy who is encouraging monkey to
eat red pepper. " There is an error in the
print" said the stranger, looking at the text.
Read as if there was no interrogation point
at the end of the line, and you have the mean
ing at once" Pope's assistant improved up
on the hint. and rendered the passage with
out difficulty. Pope was chagrined; he
could never endure to be surpassed in any
thing. Turning to the stranger, he said in 4
sarcastic tone. "Will you please tell me
what an interrogation point is!" "Why.
