ell Of half a dozen counties in the

cost of draining to be assessed against
the lands benefited by it. In Wood

take TO crown, or ridge up either
roads or streets as much a. is usually
done. They should always be thrown
up the full width. with good bitches
at the side, and just crown enough
TO carry of the water. The teams
then travel all over them, and the
road wears even and smooth, and
does not gully or wear into ruts. as
when the travel IL all on the centre Of
the road. All the streets in Burling-
ton are mace to crown to much,
They would wear much better and
cost less for repairs, if the travel
could scatter all over the ~idth Of
the street. The same is true Of CON-
mon district roads.

EYESIGHT.

Milton's blindness was the result of
overwork and dyspepsia. One of the
most eminent American divines has for
some time been compelled to forgo the
pleasure OF reading, has spent thousands
OF dollars in vain, and lost years of time.
In consequence of getting up several. l.hours
before day and studying by artificial light.
Multltudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life bv the too
free use of the eyesight in reading small
print and doing fue sewing. La view of
these things it is we'll to observe the fol-
lowing rules in the use of the eyes
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, or write, or sew,
for several minutes after coming from
darkness to a bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or on a cloudy day. .-... a..
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, or window, or door.
1t is better to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that on first awakening
the eyes shall open on the light OF VIM
dow.
DO notuse the eyesigAt 50 scant that it
requires an effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates a glare, and
pains and confuses the sight. The mo-
ment you are sensible of an effort to dis
tlnguish, that moment cease, and take a
walk or ride. .
AS the sky is blue and the earth green,
1t would seem that the ceiling should be
of a blush tingc, and the walls of some
mellow tint. The moment you are in-
stlactivel y prompted to rub the eyes, that
moment cease using them. e
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with finger; it is
the spee'iiest dilutent in the world. Then
wash yoor eyes and face i'll warm water.

Richard WEAVER The New York
correspondent of the Boston journal
gives the following sketch of Richard
Weaver, the popular preac her and con-
verted prize fighter: Richard Weaver,
the converted prize fighter and collier, is
one of the most remarkable men in Eng
land. Before his conversion he was
ignorant, brutal, and terror to his
neighborhood. His first act after his re-
formation was to drive Bible van with
IN the inclosure of a horse race, and, tax
ing off his coat and handkercaief,s.he went
to work, selling Bibles and singing
sacred songs, undaunted amid threats of
personal violence, till he actually broke
up the gambling booths and spread con-
sternation among the revelers. He is
now one OF the mosC persuasive and elo-
quent preachers in England Popular
alike in the rural districts and in the
cities he can crowd the largest theaters,.
| overflow the largest churches, and among
the miners, colliers, and operatives in
factories. he can count his audiences by
thousands when he breaches in the fields.
His graphic story telling style of repre-
senting Divine truth, the thrilling per-
sonal incidents in regard to himself # and
his experience, his peculiar style of rela-
ting anecdotes, and witbal, his ability as
a singer, for he intersperses his sermons
with touching songs, make him one of
the most attractive speakers in England
He wears aagray suit OF clothes that he
may not prejudice those who will not
hear clergyman preach. His great
success has not turned his head or cloud.
ed the simplicity of character which has
marked him for SO many years. He has
the full confidence of the churches, and
ministers of every name sinvite him to
their pulpits. A layman of this city,
very devoted and very wealthy, has gone
to London for the purpose of bringing
Weaver to this country. Between Wea-
ver's desire and this gentleman ability
the arrangements will be made, and Wea
yer will no doubt be hard by our people
between this and the earl y spring"

THE KING OF ABYSsINIA.

The following is King Theodore pedl'
gree, according to his own account:
s'pRoCLAMATIoN.
"fn the name of tie Father, and of the
Son. and of the Holy Ghost, one God
"The King of Kings, Theodore, crea-
ted by the Trinity its servant, Installed by
il and made Prince, to his children given
to him by God, and to all the Franks
Europeans
by your God and the God Of your
friend Theodore, who appeared to Moses
on Mount Sinia and in the Red Sea, who
appeared to Joshua and Jericho, who
through his servant Samuel annointed
Saul when he was seeking the asses that
were lost, who, when Saul turned from his
Creator, commanded Samuel to anoint
| David
Solomon was King after David, ac-
cording to the word of the prophet and
of his father, notwi1 hstanding that Adon-
las (Adonijah), against the will of God
was proclaimed King by the people and
obtained favor in their sight Solomon,
by the Queen of Azyed (the southeast),
begat Menilek, who became King of
Ethiopia From Menilek down to the
dynasty of the Gallas, all the Kings were
stage players (ozmutt), who sought from
God neither wisdom nor strength. but,
with His help, the means of raising up
the Empire were found when God chose
me, His servant, to be King.
"My countrymen, 'the river is dried
up, its bed is empty and they iusulted
me because my mother is poor and called
me the son of beggar. But the Turks
knew the greatness of my father, who
made them his tributaries as far as the
frontiers of Egypt, and to the gates of
their cities. My father and my mother
descended from David and from Solomon,
and they are also of the seed of Abraham,
the servant Of God ..t FL. ......s..... e
Now those who insulted me with the
name of a beggars son are themselves
beggars, and beg for their daily bread.
Without Gods will, neither wisdom nor
power can save from ruin Nevertheless,
as God said unto Adam, 'n the sweat of
thy face thou shalt eat bread it is necss
sary not to fall into slothfulness. But it
is needless for me to give you this ad-
vice; for, as the proverb says, speak not
of wisdom to the sage, neither cut the
food of lion ...,., ...;...;..
There is nothing powerful in t,he
world. Many have had mortars and can
mons in abundance. and nevertheles ss have
succumbed. Napoleon had mgriads of
them. yet he died conquered, after having
subjugated the Franks. Nicholas, Em
peror of the Muscovites, possessed them
in abundance, and he was vanquished by
the French, the English, and the Turks,
and died without having accomplished the
desire Of his heart .'r,
'lf in your countries you meet with
any partisans of the brigand Negusye,
who shall say, like the traitors of this
country, that Ethiopia is governed by the
son of beggar, wager with them field
covered with gold that /, the present En-
peror, am on the throne of my fathers,
Abraham and David, and bring them here
to be confronted with me-
1T is God shat hath put down the
mighty from their seats, and hath ex-
alted them of low degree" "

OYSTERS. take the following
from an exchange; it is we'll worthy of
trial
1--WE suppose that nine out OF ten
house keepers will contradict us point
blank in the statement that nine out OF
ten of them do not know how to stew q,
dish of oysters. BY the ordinary routine
that nearly every one follows, either the
oysters are stewed and shrivcled out of all
semblance Of themselves in shape,
and flavor, or else the soup and 'thieken-.
ing has raw taste that spoils it, Hero
is the right method. Try it once, and.
we'll warrant you won't need telling the
second time Pick the oysters. out of the
juice with q fork, as dry as possible ;7stew
the juice, thickening, milk or, water, OF
which the soup is to be made, until thor
oushly cooked then drop the oysters sn,.
and just as the cooled soup begins tesshow
signs of simmering, EN- pity out all to-
gether, and you will have rich soup and
plump oysters, luscious enough to make
you think you never tasted real aaystors

ERANDFATHER,s PET,

This is the room where she slept,
Only yeat ago
Quiet, and carefully swept,
Blinds and curtains Ii ke snow. tr
There, by the bed in the dusky gloom,
She would kneel with her tiny clasped hands
and pray
Here is the little white rose of room,
With the fragrance fed away.
Nelly, grandfather's pet,
With her wise little face "l
seem to hear her yet
Singing about the place,
But the crowds roll on, and the streets are
dreaf
And he world seems hard with bitter doom,
And Nelly is singing elsewhere, and here
LIS the little white rose of a roon.
Why, if she stood just here,
AS she used to do,
With her long, light yellow hair,
And her eyes of blue,-
If she stood, | say, at the edge Of the bed,
And ran to my side with living touch,
Though | know she Is quiet, and Buried aud
dead,
/ should not wonder much;
For she was so young, you know
Only seven years old,
And she loved me, loved me, so,
Though l was gray and old;
And her face was so wise, and so sweet to see,
And it still looked living when she lay dead,
And she used to plead for mother and me
BY the side of that very bed
| wonder, now, if she
Knows | am standing here,
Feeling, wherever she be,
We hold the place so dear?
1t cannot be that she sleeps too sound,
Still in her little night gown dress,
Not to hear my footsteps sound
In the room where she used to rest.
have felt hard fortunes stings,
Aud battled in doubt und strife,
And never thought much of things
Beyond this human life;
But cannot think that my darling died
Like great strong men, with their prayers
untrue
Nay rather she sits at Gods own side,
And sings as she used to do
....s. Chambers Journal
