DIR. j. j. Lawrence: Dear Sir-My youngest
daughter, aged i've years. has been dreadfully af-
frcted with rcrofua nearly all her life l tried
great many physicians, but without relieving her
much in fact, most of them said there was no hope
of cure. During the last pripg she was worse than
and blotches-with face and eyes badly liberated
and sw ollen. While in this condition | was ad-
yised by DR.. L. A. Stith to try your Rosadalis. at
once procured three bottles, and commenced giving
it to her. The effect was lnagical, In less than
month, to my great astonishment, she entirely
well.

The Dienity of Labor.

Spice" of the Boston Commercial BHlleiiH, re-
lates the following: 1--WE were never more i'm
pressed with the dignity of labor than while
witnessing, few days since, group of ''down-
some machinery. There were five Of them, or
rather four men and a boy, and when they came
under our notice, $50 p. NJ, one was engaged in
slowly turning over the contents of box, in
search of u screw two were looking with much
interest for the result of the labors of No. the
fourth was slowly scratching piece of iron with
q file, and the boy was scratching his head Ne.
! finally found a screw to suit him, but during
the search his pipe had gone ont. Laying down
the screw, he began to investigate his pocket for
match. Nos and searched theirs in sympa-
thy, while the filler paused to the result. Fin
ally No, found a match, ignited it, and handed
it to No. !, who having accomplished light,
smoked for few minutes to assure himself OF
the fact while the boy went to the other end of
the room to look at the clock. No. then look
ed at his watch, and compared time with No. 3.
Time, 5:4O. No. then leisurly put screw into
position to fasten bar. No. . held the bar: Ne.
3 squinted at it from the other side of the ma
chine; No. inspected the whole operation reaec
lively, as he slowly resumed the filing. and the
boy wiped the oil from his fingers. Time, $40.
The entire labor was now suspended, while the
boy was sent across the room for some necessary
tool just then it occurred to No, . that chew
of tobacco was necessary to his comfort, and as
his supply was out he applied 10 No. 3 for the
weed, and TO No for knife to cut it with No.
l consulted his watch again. Time, $50. And
labor was resumed, the screw was turned home !;
No. tried the bar; No 2 and 3 engaged in y
playful scufie, and the boy looked on with grin
of admiration. The filer laid down his work and
looked at his watch, and announced j. six o'clock
Tools were instantly dropped, and the five hay
ing accomplished the work of two ordinary men,

Eye.Sight.

Millions blindness was the result OF over work
and dyspepsia One of the most eminent Amer
icsn divines has for some time been compelled to
foreso the pleasure of reading, has spent thous-
ands of dollars in vain and lost years of time in
consequence of getting mp several hours before
day, and studying by artificial light. Multitudes
of men and women have made their eyes weak
for life by the FREQ use of the eye-sight in read
ing fine print and doing fine sewing.
In view OF these things it is well to observe
the following rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid sudden changes between light and dark
ness.
Never begin to read, or write, or sew, for sew
sral minutes after coming from darkness to a
bright light.
Never read by twilight or moonlight, or of a
cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of the liyh,
or window or door.
1t is better to have the light fall from above
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep 80 that on first awaking the eyes
shall open on tho light of a window
do not use the eyesght so scant that it re-
quires an effort to Discriminate.
loo much light creates glare, and pains and
confuses the sight. The moment you are sersi-
bic Of an effort to distinguish, that moment cease,
and takea walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and tho earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be of 4 blush
tinge, and the walls of somc yellowish tint
Tho moment you are instinetively prompted
to rub your eyes, that moment stop usin., them.
If the eyelids are glued together on waking
up, do not forcibly open them, but apply tho
saliva with the finger; tits tho spec diest aiutcnt
in the world. Then wash the eyes and face with
warm watsr.-IiaTs Journal Of Health.

they are invited to bring themselves their friends,

and it takes one Of pluck to do that-wins the

On the occasion to be described large party
assembled with numerous fine dogs, eager for the

After great deal Of coaxing and pulling the

and thrust him into the barrel stern first. The

The Quite. Of Young Men.

.U Hsf From the American Athe
Attending church and the bible class are all
very well for young man, but we believe it will
take more than one year to get into position in
good society through this means alone. The AS
soeations may help him, but there is deep valu-
able lesson behind this for all young men to
learn. If young man is not society for himself,
is not pleased and interested in the possession of
a ticket TO the Mercantile Library and Reading
Rooms, and a comfortable room at his boarding
house, he will be of little use to anything but
the fast gaity of fashion, and without fortune
he does not need to ask how to get into such
society, but how to get out of it.
Ifayoung man has the patience ard sef-ssteem
and the love of books and culture, which makes
his own self-sufficient society, he can afferd to
wait his time. A coin passes for what it is worth
and admission to society will be fruitless unless
the young men have the individuality, self-eonf.
dence and self-reliance which culture gives. A
young man has no business with society that is
gentecl, refined and educated, and he has no bus
mess in such society unless he is also refined,
educated and genteel, or seeking studiously to DO
so. Let him set to work anxiously to educate
himself in the useful arts, in the sciences, and in
the fine arts, If he please, and with the time and
patience which this self-culture requires, will
come all the society he will care for. Wal. until
you are good tor something to good society, and
good society win demand you soon enough. This
is, moreover the secret of success in this country.

A BOYS FIRsT COMposITIoN-Th Terre
Haute 1nd Album gives the following essay on
"The Ok" from one Of its young contributors,
just as it came from his pen. 1t is natural and
spontaneous, that we doubt If Shillibar or Josh
Billings could equal it in genuine humor:
Oxen is a very slow animal they good to
break ground up. wood drather have horses if
they didn't have kollic, which they say is wind
collected in bunch, which makes it dangerer
for to keep horses than an OK. If there were no
horses people wood have to wheal thare wood on

days to wheal cord mile. Cows is useful TO-,
