rHE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more the Changing boof.
. And the stAg,-eoach rA,,linE ey., .l,
And the old pixies leit TO die.
The grape creeps DER the ffinty path,
And The stealthy daisies steal
Where once the stage-horse, day by day,
Liftsd his iron heel.
No mors the weary stager breads
The toll OF the coming morn,
No more the bustlinss landlord runs
At the sound Of tho echoing horn;
For the dust lies stlli upon the rad,
And the brighteyed children play
Where Once the elattering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more We hear the cracking whip,
And the strong wheels grumbhns sound;
And All. the water drives as on,
And an iron horse n found,
The coach stands rusting In the yard,
The horss has sought the plough;
We have spanned the world with an iron rail-,
And the steam king rules US now.
The old turnpIks ID pike no more;
wide open stands the gate;
We have made us rad fbr our horse 10 stride,
And NO ride &C flying ratey
We hsye filed the valleys and leyelled the hills
And tunnelled the mountain side,
And round the rough crss's dizzy verge
feariossly Bow no ride.
On-on-on-wlth naughty front.
A put, n shrek. and a bound;
whifs tho tardy echoes wake toO lsto
To echo back the sound;
And the old pike roai u len alone,
And the stAggers seek tho plough,
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
And tho steau-kins rules Us nov.

PROTECT YOUR EYESIGHT.

Miton's blindness was the result of over
work and dyspepsia. One of the most en-
nent American dieines, having for some
time been compelled to forego the pleas
ure of reading, spent thousands of dollars
in value, and lost years OF time, in conse-
quence OF getting up several hours before
day and studying by artificial light. His
eyes never got well.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the too
free use of the eyesight, reading small
print and doing fine sewing. In view of
these things it is well to observe the fol-
lowing rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight.
or on very cloudy day.
Never sleep so that on waking, the eyes
shall open on the light of Il window.
Do not use the eyesight by light SO scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate
Neverread or sew directly in front of
the light, or window or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the lett shoulder.
Too much light creates a glare and
pains, and contuses the sight. The mo-
ment you are sensible of an effort to dis
tinguish, that moment ceases, and talk,
walk, or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be a
a blush tinge, the carpet green. and the
walls of some mellow tinge.
The moment you are instinctively pro-
NOTED to rub the eyes, that moment case
using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them.
but apply the saliva with the finger-it is
the speedicst diulent in the world-and
then wash your eyes and face in warm

WORK AND WAIT.

There are two things that always pay.
even in this not oyer-remunerative exist
ence They are working and waiting.
Either is useless without the other. Both
united are evincible. and inevitably trium-
phant. He who waits without working is
simply man yielding to sloth and des-
pair lie who works without waiting Is
iitiul in his striyings, and misses results
by impatience. He who works steadily
and waits patiently may have a long jour-
ney before him, but at its close he will find
its reward.
