Year by year, II we lead true lives, we
grow more and more into recognition OF
II something In Nature which, because we
do not know Natures own name for it, we
call soul. Summer by summer, we grow
more tender In our touch OF the flowers,
more reyercnt in listening to their voices,
more impressed with wonder, whether
there be not I'm them heart, closely al
lied to our own. We find that no man
can show why plant may not feel pain
ia being uprooted, or that the moss may
not know that we are In grief, when we
bury our faces In its bosom to hide our
tears. We find that all things minister to
us, when VIC leave our houses and seek
help in the air; and thus, finally, a little
before the Earth Is ready to fold us for
the last time in her arms, we learn that
she Is our mother. and then In our late
duty and love, we reap the fulfilling of
the commandment with promise, in the
land which the Lord our God giveth
us

the effect of womanly grace and purity on

an Institution he visited. In one room he
found about thirty-five men listening to
the teachings Of the daughter of small

was one Of the prctticst women he ever
saw In his life. He noticed that there was
no one present but the young lady with
those rough men. and he said to the SUI

CARE OF TIE EYES. Looking into q
fire is very injurious to the eyes, particu-
larry coal fire. The stimulus Of light
and heat united, soon destroys the eyes.
Looking at molten iron will soon destroy
the sight. Reading In the twilight Is In
furious to the eyes, rs then they are obllg-
ed to make great exertions. Reading or
sewing with side light Injuries the eyes,
AS both eyes should be exposed to equal
degrees Of light. The reason is, the SYM
patty between the eyes Is so great, that II
the pupil Of one Is dilated, by being kept
partially in the shade, the one that Is most
exposed can not contract itself sufficient
