Care for the Eyes.

Prescott, the historian, IN consequence OF
a disorder OF the eye, wrote every word OF
bis UiStOHcdIs without pen or ink, as he
could not see when his pen was out of ink,
or from any other cause failed to make a
mark. He used an agate stylus on carbona-
ted paper, the lines aud edges OF the paper
being indicated by brass wires in frame
Crawford the sculptor, the habit of whose
life had been to read in reclining position,
lost one eye, and soon died from the ier-
nation of a malignant caucerOuS tumOr be-
hind the ball, which pushed it cut on the
cheek.
There are many affections Of the eyes
which are radically incurablc. Persons of
scrofulous constitutions, without any spinal
local manifestations OF it, often determine
the disease to the eye by some erroneous
habit or practice, and it remains there for
life. 1t is useful, therefore, to know some
of the causes which, by facilitating the eye,
invite disease to it, or render 1t incapable OF
resisting adverse influences.
Reading by twilight ought never to be in
dulged in. a safe rule is-nevcr read.atter
sundown or before sunrise.
Do not allow yourself to read moment
in reclining position, whether in bed or
on Sofa. .t. ...
The practice of reading on horseback,
or in any vehicle in motion by wheels, is al-
most pernlcions. ... .-....... d.
Reading on steam or sail vessels should
not be largely INDUCED in, because the
slightest motion of the page or your body
alters the focal point, and requires painful
straining effort to readjust it. ..- ....
Never attempt to look at the sun while
shining unless through colored glass of
some kind; evena very bright moon should
not be long gazed at. u. -.t. s
The glare Of the sun on water is very in
furious to the sight. ....
A sudden change between bright light
and darkness is always very pernicious.
a In looking at minute objects, relieve the
eyes frequently by turning them TO some
thing in the distance.
Let the light, whether natural or artif-
cial, fall on the page from behind, little to
one side. .... =. t.t ~. l..'
If the eyes are matted togctheraiter sleep
ing, the most instantaneous and agreeable
solvent in nature is the application of the
saliva with the finger before opening the
eye. Never pick it off with the finger nail
but wash it off with the ball Of the fingers
i'll quite warm soft water. ... b..
Never batbe or open the eyes in cold wa
ter. 1t is always safest, best, ..and most
agreeable, to use warm water for that pur-
pose over seventy degrees. .-ICNS 5 Journal

A Particular Providence.

There is a Jewish tradition concerning
Moses, which SO beautifully illustrates this
point as 10 be worthy Of universal notice;
for though merely fable, it is not on that
account the less instructive. The great
prophet, says one Of the rabbis, was once
called by God to the top of high noun
tain and there permitted TO propose any
questions he pleased concerning the govern
ment Of the universe. La the midst of one
of his inquiries as to providence, he was
directed to look down upon the plain below,
where was u clear spring Of water. At this
spring a soldier had alighted from his horse
TO drink. No sooner had he satisfied his
thirst and gone, than little hoy came to the
same place, and finding purse of money
the soldier had dropped, picked it up and
went away Some time AFTER there came
an infilm old man, with hoary hairs, and
weary with age and travelling, who, having
quenched his thirst, sat down for rest and
retieshment by the side of the spring The
soldier had by this time missed his purse,
and returning, demands it of the old man,
who affirms he had not seen it, and could not
have hid it, and appeals to heaven to attest
his innocence and the truth of his assertion
The soldier, not believing his assertions
kills him on the spot Moses falls on his
face in horror and amazement, that such all
event should be permitted by God, when
the divine voice thus presents his eSpostu-
lation: "Be not surprised Moses, that the
Judge of all the earth should have suffered
this to come to pass. To you there appears
no reason why that child should be the oc-
casion of that old mans blood being spilled;
but know, that that same old man, years
ago, was the murderer of that cllild's faith
er!'' and so in every dispensation Of Provi-
dence, there is some wise design; and in
every one the Judge Of all the earth will do
right. -s

Hon. MONTGOMERY BLAIR, late Attor-
ney-GeneraI in Mr.. Lincoln Cabinet, in his
recent speech at Buffalo, New York, allud-
cd to the design ofthe radicals to give over
tie South to the control of the negroes. -
He says: rs ~
There are a class of men who propose to
take advantage ofthe condition of the South !;
and to substitute the dominion o! the negro
for that of the master. This is no chimera
1t is a well digested plot, Sumner is 10
ligmy. He is wonderful man, and won
derfully dangerous man. Ihad Stevens is
another able and dangerous man. As the
leader of the. Republicans in the House, he
stands with his whip to drive his partisans
to the support of his revolutionary schemes.
These men assume the negro TO be the only
loyal man, in the face of the fact that two
thirds Of the white men of the South had
no heart in the rebellion
Upon this scheme he thus commented
The plan Reconstruction of the Union
by taking up the Southern negro and plan-
ing him upon terms of political and social
equally with the Southern White man, Of
political cxi tence, is only worthy of such
men as Mr.. Sumner and Thadleus Stevens.
1t is Il deep laid plan Of securing to their par
ty an assurance of political power for all
time to come. They had no notion, proba-
bly,, Of mingling the blood Of the two races.
They urged the loyalty Of the negro as a
mere pretext for accomplishing party ends.
They propose TO put the negro ir his mas
ter 5 place-to put arms in his hands, and
accept him as the ruling power in fifteen
States of the Union; because of his alleged
loyalty, and because Of the alleged disloyal-
ty of his master. a
This claim is false and mfounded.
q" Fewer negroes, IN proportion 10 their
plumbers, joined the Union army, with, all
the compulsory efforts that We're brought to
bear upon them than whites from the slave
States. Only 10000 of the former were
driven, coaxed and voluntarially enrolled
from the North aud South while Missouri
put 100, 900 white men into the field, and
Kcutucky G0,0p0 on the Federal side, be-
sides large numbers from others slave States.
These white people should Etsu little
consideration hown them in their sacrifices
and the perils they incurred in standing true
to the Union in the day of peril. But, no,
they are to have no regard paid to their
rights Of citizenship. but the negro is to
take their places and control the destinies of
the rebellous States, and though them, in
league with the radicals Of the North, the
d6stinies of the nation. .a,. .-.L

onlydcgrade US of the South, but you de-
grade yourselves Adopt this policy, and

Eacts About Natnr

Water is at once yielding and resisting.
1t gives way, when permitted to do so, with
marvellous facility. The slightest and light
est substance dropped upon it is Admitted
to It's embrace, i'll strict accordance and pro-
portion to its deserts and its density. A
grain Of sand readily finds its natural place
at the bottom A hydrostatIc or water-bed
is the easiest OF couches-so easy, in fact
that some invallds cannot bear its excessive
pliancy and complete ads ption to the form
Of the sleeper. Hence the notion of Des-
cartes and others, that to explain the phe-
nomena of water Its UImate particles must
be oblong, smooth, and intexible, living one
upon another like eels in tub. But wa
ter Of a given temperature, confined, is of as
toni hing hardness; it is almost incOmpres-
sible at that temperature; for what is re-
duction of from torty-tour to forty y-cight
milhonth parts OF its volume under pres
sure equal to that of the atmosphere? Ma
ny slid mattera-w wood, for instance-can be
squeezed into much smaller than .heil'
original bulk. The packer art has attained
wonderful perfection in inclo.ing much i'll
little space, but all the queens horses and
all the queens men cannot put a quart of
water into pint bottle. You could sooner
drive nail into solid cube Of steel than
you could drive one into a cube of water in
closed in perfectly unyicldng box. 1t is
the unsqueezabllity of water which gives its
enormous strength to the hydraulic press =
The hardness Of water may he felt by strik-

swimmers who, intending to pitch into the
