ABOUT BLOOD.

Observe your mother when she Is packing
a trunk, and you will see that whatever she
is most afraid will be spoiled she is most
careful to put in the middle, that it may be
least exposed to accidents. And this is
what kind Providence has done with the
arteries, which have the utmost cause to
dread accidents, while the veins, which are
much better able to bear rough usage, are
allowed to wander about freely just under
the skin. But whom the bones happen to
take up a great deal of room, and come near
the skin themselves, as is the case In the
wrist, the artery is forced whether he likes
it or not, to venture to the surface, and then
we are able to put our finger upon him.
And there are others in the same sort Of
situation; the artery of the foot for in

RESPECT THE BODY.

Respect the body, dear men and women
speak of it reyerently, as it deserves. Don't
take it into unworthy places; give it sun
shine, pure air, and exercise. Be conscien~
tious as to what you put down its throat.
Remember what is fun to the cook and con
dictionary trades may be death to it. Give
it good, Wholesome food; let it be on init
mate terms with friction aud soap and water;
and especially dou render it ridiculous by
your way of dressing it.
Recognize the dignity Of your body; hold
it erect when your awake, and let it lie out
straight when you re asleep Don't let 1t
90 through the world with little mincing
steps nor great gawky strides; don't swing
its arms too much, and don t let them grow
limp from inactivity. Resolve to respect its
shoulders, its back, and its fair proportions

and wriggles, ana ''grecian bends be un-
known forever.
Respect the body--give it what it requires
and no more. Don't pierce its ears, strain
its eyes, or pinch Its feet; don roast It by a
hot fire all day, and smother it under heavy
bed covering all night; don't put it in a
cold draught on slight occasions, and don t
nurse or pet it to death; don't dose it with
doctor stuffs, and, above all, don't turn it
into wine cask or chimney. Let it be

MAKING GLASS EYES.

1t is said that there are in New York at
least seven thousand persons who wear false
eyes. The manufacture Of these eyes is done
entirely by hand, and is thus described by
the 4mericdn ArtisaA
A man sits down behind jet of gas flame,
which is pointed and directed as he wishes
by blow-pipe The pupil of the eye is
made with drop of block glass imbedded
in the center of the iris. The blood-yessels
seen in the white of the eyes are easily put
in with red glass while the optic is glowing
with heat like ball of gold. The whole
eve can be made inside of an hour, and it is
at once ready to put in. The reader should
know that it is simply thin glass shell IN
tended to cover the stump of the blind eye.
After being dipped in the water, this shell
Is slipped in place, being held by the eye
lids
The secret of imparting motion to it de-
ponds upon working the glass so that il
shall fit the stump. fit is too large, it vii
not move, if it fits nicely, it moves in every
particular ike the natural eye, and it is quite
impossible in many cases to tell one from tbs
other. The operation is not in the least
painful, and those who have worn them
number of years feel better with them II
than when they are out. A glass eye should
be taken out every night, and put in in the
morning. In three or four years the fals'
eye becomes so worn that's new one has t
be obtained.

THE SINGULARITY or AMEKIcAN

The shadow Of slavery is yet so heavy up
on the minds Of some Americans that they
cannot conceive how petty and provincial
the prejudice against color seems to the cul-
tivated people of England end France. The
New Yorker, for example, who sent the
photographs Of the negroes in the South
Carolina Legislature, was, / doubt not, i'm
pressed with the idea that the mere sight Of
a black face in a Legislature would evoke
ordinations Of horror from the eminent
gentlemen and ladies Of the Royal. But
English SCHOLARS are just now too much en-
gagged in searching, with increasing admira-
ton, into the literature of Ii cir two hundred
million swarthy Indian subjects, 10 find a
red flag 10 any black skin Livingstone has
made contempt of the negro forever impos-
sible in England The other evening John
Ruskin lectured at the Royal, and immedi-
ately IN front Of him, on bench reserved
for the eminent, sat black woman, accom-
panied by noble lord and his lady. There
were a few Americans in the audience; they
revealed themselves By whispering their as
constituent. But Mr. Ruskin, champion Of
Governor Eyre as be was, evidently did not
note her presence. In France it is positive
ly an advantage to be eolored. A likely ne
gro is there apt to be a lion, so fond are the
French Of something unusual. One may
there see proud ladies escorted by, or dane

this piece, written by Wilkie Collins turns
upon the passion Of white girl for a hero
who has negro blood in him, in a region
where the old prejudice prevails Her love
is finally victorious over prejudice. 1t is a
pure niscegenation drama. Fechter acts

here without perceiving that everywhere in
Europe the prejudice against color is becom-
ing a sign of inferior culture. This lately,
when, in a suit for breach of promise in
Ohio, which turned upon the question Of
whether the woman had negro blood, physi-

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED.

Much of the disaffectiou between the en-
ployer and employed which leads often to
acrimonious and unpleasant disputes, might
be avoided by more generous interpreta-
ton of the terms of the contract specified or
impGed between them. In many cases the
employer makes his concern disciplinary
school, the pupils OF which are to be drilled
TO become as mere machines as the insensate
mechanism they oversee or attend. A GER
tain set of iron bound rules, immutable and
Interchangeable as those of the Mades and
Persians, is made to govern and control the
help. with no opportunity for variation or
adaption to circumstances or person. The
honest, conscientious workman finds him
self, under this system, ranked with the
careless, unjust, and selfish man who would
feel pride in getting ahead of bis boss.
All this is wrong. Certain rules must, Of
course, be made and observed in order to
insure a uniformity of work and a proper
division of duties but the rule that is nee
essary for hirG who, having no standard OF
right in himself, bows only to the law oil
force, is not the rule for the coucientious
workman anxious mainly to protect and IN
sure the interests of his employers. 10 the
contriving of rules fer the governing of me-
chanical establishments, the character of the
men employed should be considered. Nc
man should have his sense of manlines;
crushed or injured by being subjected tC
rules fitted only for the inmates of pena
institution. It not only Injuries him morally
but it deprives his employer Of his best eff
forts, as he cannot and will not work COZ
apeore when he knows he is under espionage
or suspicion. Let employers treat their mel
as men and they will find it to be to thei
pecuniary advantage, Circumstances alon
generally give them an advantage over thei

sGErrING ON in TnE woRLp..


When we scc jenkins, or Jones, or any
other Of our aequainiances, who started 10
the race of life with nothing bnt their wits
or luck, go dashing by in their carriage, or
look at the fine houses tkey are erecting, We
instinctiyely say, jenkins, OF Jones, as the
case may be, is getting on in the world
Il may be true, in pecnuiary point Of view,
that jenkins or Jones bank account is large
his carriage may be lined with purple vel
vet, aud his pew in church as soft as up
holstery can make it, and as conspicuous as
his standing as "onc of the annointed"
should be-but yet jenkins or Jones may
not sleep as sound, or enjoy that peace
which cometh from a clear conscience, as
well as some whose names are not in any
Bank Ledger, or whose house is not the
envyof the rabble. The truth is, there are
many different ways Of getting on in the
world; it does not always mean making a
great deal of money, Or being great man
for the people to look up to in wonder
Leaving off bad habit for good one is
getting on in the world; to be active and
industrious, instead of idle and lazy, is get
ting on; to be kind and forbsarng, instead
of ill-natured and quarreisome, is getting
on; to work as diligently 10 the master 5
absence as in his presence, is getting on; in
short, when we see any one properly attend
ing to his duties, peRevering through such
difficulties to gain such knowledge as shall
be Of use to himself and others, and offering
a good example to his relatives and acquain-
tances, we may be sure that he is getting on
in the world Money is very useful arti-
Gle in its way, but il is possible to get on
with small means, for it is mistake to sup
pose that we must wait for a good deal OF
money before we can do anything. Perse-
gerance is often better than a full purse.
There are more helps toward getting on than
is generally supposed many people lag be-
hind or miss altogether. because they do not
see the abundant and simple means which
surround them on all sides, and SO it hap
pens that there are aids, which cannot be
bought with money. Those who wish to
get along in the world must have stock oi

MR. LEwEs AND GEO ELIOT. The
facts in regard to the relationship between
Mr.. Lewes, the philosophical historian. and
Geo. Eliot, are as follows: Mr. Lewes
was married early in life; his wife subsc-
quently eloped with paramour; three or
four years later Lewes found her in great
distress and relieved her necessities, settling
upon her a part Of his income.
He then applied for a divorce, which was
refused by the English courts on the ground
that his provision for the erring wife was a
forgiveness other error. The Scotch court
was less rigorous, however and, having Sc
cured divorce there, Lewes married Miss

APPEARANCE OF BRIGHAM YouNG.-A
writer in the Sau Francisco Bulletin says
Brigham Young in his sixty-ninth year, is
remarkable man, aud bids fair to live for
many years. His step has lost some Of It's
elasticity, and his figure shows that he is
going down the hill of life but his hair, al
ways light, is unmixed with gray, and
though his locks may be thinner than they
were forty years ago, there are no signs of
approaching badness. His brow and cheeks
are clear and smooth, with a slight ruddy
tinge, and without wrinkle except around
the corners of the mouth His brow is lofty
his nose prominent and well formed, his
eyes gray, and in repose show something of
the dullnes of age, but he looks as if he
could give stern ordel and watch its exc
cutiou, however bloody, without fincning.
His lips, too, are thin, and when set give an
aspect of severity TO his countenance; yet
he can smile very pleasantly when he
chooses
