SOMETHING Coop Our OF NazAppr

SOMETHING COOP Our OF NAZARETH,
We have repeatedly had occasion to
refer to the mischievous workings of the
Freedmen's Bureau in the Southern Stat.o
We have now to mention an instance to
the credit Of the establishment coming
from an unexpected quarter and arising
from an unexpected cause. It seems that
while the system works wretchedly in Vir-
glnla and North and South Carolina, in the
State Of Georgia it is not open to the Same
censnre. What is the reason for tb;sa
The answer is that while the whole concern
's fraught with danger and social evils to-
the South, it's miserable workings are as
much attributable to the corrupt subordin.
ate agents who control its affairs as to the
bad tendencies of the system itself. In
the first three named States the snbordin-
ates of the Bureau are mostly from the
New England States, persons who have.
gone into The business for purely money
making purposes purposes as the running
OF plantations on their own account, the
hiring out Of negroes to labor at their
standard OF premium, the levying of fines
and fees as special magistrates, &c. But
in Georgia We find that the affairs Of the
Bureau are conducted by persons who are
native born, who know the character OF the
negro and are better qualified to supply his
wants and contribute to his health and COM
fort than all the mercenary and cantiug
negro worshippers and fanatics that can
be sent from New England. A CORES
pondent informs us that out Of three hundred
aud fifty thousand freedmen in Gsorgir
only one thousand two hundred and twenty
three are dependent upon ::tbe government
for support. The policy Of the assistant
commissioner Of the Bureau 10 carried out
under the laws and 10 conformity with the
usspes of the State NOT conflicting with
the do iens ofshe government. The sub

ed in the laws OF contrast Of color and oon-
trast Of tone.
First, as regards contrast Of color. There
are three primary coIors-red, blue and
yellow. From these every other color is
formed, and each has its perfect harmony
IN ITS contrasting or Complementary color.
The complementary of each simple color is
formed by the union OF the other two land
is therefore called the secondary tha, is,
green being the mixture Of blue and yellow,
ia complementary 10 red; violet, being
formed of rel and blue, is Complementary
to yellow and orange, compound Of red
and yellow, to blue.
Each Of these co'ora, when placed near
its complementary, intensifios it's effect
Green causes red to appear reIder, blue
adds brighter tint to orange, and yellow
enhances the color Of violet. Tn other
words, every color looks its rurest and best
when i. is beside its Complementary.
by means Of this simple law of contrast,
therefore, we have the power OF impartine
any tint that we choose to the complexion,
and OF rendering our costume agreeable TO
the eye by the harmony produced by prop.
erly contrasted colors; and we may learn to
avoid increasing the undesirable tints of
a sallow complexion by the juxtaposition
of blue or violet, or rendering a horid
complexion still more high-colorsi by con.
trastng it with green. On the other hand
ladies with golden hair and clear complex
ions will see that they should wear blue in
preference to any other color. hamoniziug

while those upon whom nature has bestowed
dark hair and rosy complexion shoul-
der consider green as their especial color.
Very dark people may wear extremely
light brown, gray or slate color with impun
ity; but those who have light compilations
and light brown hair should only venture
upon pure white and the light tones Of
the three primaries, bearing in mind that,
wherever there is agreeable contrasts there
is agreeable harmony.-The Boudoir.

DIR. HALL ON FAILING RYEsIaHr.

When the sight Is beginning to fail, the
eyes should be favored as much as possible.
This can be done
!. BY sitting in sucl position as will
allow the light to fall upon the page or
sewipg, ob!iauely over the shoulder.
2. BY not using the eyes for suc!, pur,
poses by any artificial light, or before sun,
rise or after sunset.
8. By avoiding the special use of the
eyes in the morning before breakfast.
4. By resting them for half minute or
80, while sewing, or looking at small ob
jects, by looking at thing. at distance or
in the ky, relief is immediate in so do
ing.
5. Never pick any collected matter from
the eyelashss or corners Of the eyes with
the 6ngernalIs; rather moisten it with the
saliva, and rub it away with the ball of the
finger.
9. Frequently pass the balls Of the fin
gers over the closed eyelids towards the
nose; this carries off al excess Of water
into the no,e itself by means of the little
canal which leads into the nostrls from
each inner corner of the eye, which canal
tends to close up, in consequence of the
slightest Inflammation, which attend weak.
ness Of the eyes.
2. Keep the feet alway, dry and warm,
SO as to keep an excess of blood from the
other end of the body.
8. Use eye 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 common spec
tacles are used. such process ia required
to get them ready, that to save the trouble
the eyes are often strained to answer the
purpose.
9. Wash the eyes abundantly every
morning. If cold water be used let it be
tapped against the clored eye with the fin
gers Of the right hand, not striking hard
against the ball Of the eye. But it would
seem better plan to open the eyes in pure
blood warm water, because warm water is
more penetrating than cold; it dissolves.
more readily any hardened matter that
may be about the lids, and is more sooth-
ing and more natural.
10. The moment the eyes feel tired, the
very moment you are conscious of an effort
to read or sew, lay aside the book or needle,
and take walk for an hour or employ
yourself in some active exercise not re-
quiring the close use Of the eyes.-Halls

ing country betwixt our present settled from

homes where so much of discomfort and hard

in view Of it, for those in Maryland who have
o longing for such distant localities, to pause
a little, and consider whether the field pre-
scented here. for achieving an independence,
and along with it every comfort is not more
attractive?

disappeared, and it is hard at once to get the
