DECLINED. We are Ia receipt Of So,
ersl communications from our .Jiends >
various points, which, from their LEI" eth
and the nature Of the subjects on which,
they are written, we are compelled most
respectfully to decline. Since the close
OF the scholastic year we have been over
whelmed with detailed accounts of school
and college exhibitions and examins-
lions, some Of which we published en-
tire, but by far the greater portion we
were compelled to rewrite and abridge.
The communications OF that description
now on hand We must beg leave to de-
cline, as being OF no earthly interest to
the general reader, and cur space is too
valuable to fill up with any other sort of
matter than that which interests every
one. Again We urge on our correspond
ents to be 6rjef il they would have their
communications used. In accounts of
political meetings bTevity lie especially
desirable, the great number Of clubs, ETC.,
rendering it absolutely necessary indeed.

Millions blindness was the result of
Overwork and dyspepsia One OF the
most eminent American divines has for
sCnie time been compelled TO forego
the pleasure of readIng. has spent thou
sauds of dollars In vain, and lost wears
of time, In consequence Of getting No
several hours before day and studying
by artificial light. Multitudes of men
and women have made their eyes weak
for life by toe too free use OF the eye
sight in reading small print and doing
fine sewing. 10 view OF these things 1t
is we'll to observe the following 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 midutes after coming from
darkness to a bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or on a cloudy day.
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 awaken
ing, the eyes shall open on the light of
a window.
Do not use the eye-sight so scant
that 1t requires an effort 10 discrimi-
nate.
Too much light creates a glare. and
pains aud confuses the sight. The
moment you are sensible OF an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease. aud
take a walk o. ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth
green. it would seem that the ceiling
shonld he OF blush tinge, and the
walls OF some mellow tint
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub the eyes, sthat moment
cease using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking mp, do not fOrcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with a finger; it is
the speediest dilutent in the world
Then wash your eyes and face in warm
water. Halls Journal IF Health.
