Failing Eyesight.

When the sight is beginning to fail.
the eyes should bc favored rs much as
possible. This can be done:
|. By sit,us in such q position as
will allow the light to fall upon the
page or sewing obliQueIy over tho shout
der.
=. BY not using the eyes for such
purposes by any artificial light, or be-
fore sunrise or fter sunset.
: 3. By avoiding the special use Of the
eyes in the morning before breakfast.
t. BY resting them for halfa moment
or 50 while reading or sewing, or look
ing 1T small objects, by looking Il,
things at distance, or in the sky; re-
lief is Immediately felt on so doing.
5. Never pick any collected matter
from the eyelasres or the curriers' Of the
eyes with the finger nails rather moist
en- it with the saliva and rub it away
with the nail Of the finger.
+. Frequently pass the balls OF the
fingers over the closed cyclids, towards
the uose; this carries of any excess of
water into the nose by means Of the little
canal which leads into the nostril from
each inner corner of the eye, which
canal tcuds to close up, in consequence
of the slightest inflammation which at
tends weakness Of the eye.
z. Keep the feet always dry and warm,
so as to keep any excess Of blood from
tho other end of the body. .r.,,s
S: Use glasses at first, carried in
the vest pocket, attached to a guard, for
they are instantly adjusted to the eye
With very little trouble; whereas, if coin
uou spec,ac,es are used, such a process
is required to get them ready, and to
save trouble, the eyes are often strained
to answer a purpose. : G>dL.-

morning II cold water be used, let it

cause warm water is more penetrating
than cold, it dis>olres more rapidly aud

about the lips, and is moro soothing and
more natural. ....-',....

proceedings of the Chicago Convention, inclu
ding the platform. Geo. Mcclellan is the
nominee for President and Pendleten for Vice
President. The platform is Of far greater con.
sequence than the men, aud that, as is usual in
such cases.. is bi DAD enough TO admit Of va
riety Of constructions. II breathcs a spirit of
peace thu ougl'out, but peace upon the bass of
Federal Union Of the States. This, perhaps
is as much Ms could have been expected at this
time, and as fat as it would have been polite
for the Convention to go. The platform says
nothing OF prosecution of the war, in the
event the South will not make peace upon that
basis; and it speaks of the preservation oi
State Rights, one ~ tho cardinal principles OF
which is the right to seceGe and soveru them

imously, and it is but fair to infer ihst ANY
re,u ~ which Nalisi dgnln,, Wood, Long and
