THE MAN WITH THE GLASS EYE.

A few,nights since an interesting burglar,
says the New Orleans Picayune, visited the
room of person who, among his other no
tceable attractions, has glass eye. 1t so
happened that on the night in question, he
had retired to rest without removing his al
tificial optic. The burglar cautiously enter
ed the room, dimly lighted by tho jet of
burning gas. just as he was about laying
his hand on a costly chronometer and q we'll
filled purse. his attention was attracted to the
sleeper and to his infinite surprise, he en-
countered the gaze Of one full, opened eye
fixed freely upon him. In the glare of the
lamp-light it sparkled like a gem, and the
burglar thought it emitted rays of fire. He
had heard of people sleeping with one eye
open, but had neverseen it illustrated before
None, he thought but the Evil One possess
ed such u faculty. Even in the act of grasp
ing the spoils his hand was arrested by the
singular apparition, and, darting out Of the
room he tumbled down stairs, never stopping
until he reached the banquet. Here he was
laid hold of by y policeman, who demanded
TO know what he was about.

HORSE BREAKING AND HORSE SENSE.

A horses sense is good common sense. Many a
man does not know half SO much about some things
horse, and there is great difference in horses
The horse is net naturally suspicious but he is timid
when young. He learns very soon what his Wcap-
ons are-teeth and hees-and in what his security
lies-tlight. His boldness and "the glory Of his
nostris" when she rejoiceth in his strength"
| With his age comes the knowledge of his powers,
and II he has never been maStered-neVer made to
yield to any will but his own-if he is to be made
useful, the struggle must come sooner later, and
mans VIII or horse will, must triumph. We think
it best to begin quite young with colts to control
them; SO advise to halter colt while it runs with
the mare and to do it after feeding it with carrots
and sugar, until it thinks 1t will get only caressing
| from mankind, and has no fear of any man. The
colt submits easily, because it is the easiest and
pleasanteS thing il do, provided ii is not fright
ened, and would lief be led as run loose since
the curtament of hs freedom is made up by sweets
or carrots. The sense of smell in horses is very
acute, and il they are suspicious of anything they
| always approach it cautiously and smell it, They
should be indulged in this; and harness, saddle
etc, should all be investigated by the nose as well
as by the eye before more Intimate acquaintance
is forced upon the horse. A horse ring of from
forty to fifty feet i'll diameter is of the greatest
aids horse trainer can have. In this a horse too
rcstive and spirited 10 take lesson may be tired
out to be very dOce, and IL tired horse is much
more susceptible to both tavors and instruction
than one full of vim and fire and play. There are
two very commOn-sensc rules which, if followed
will commend themselves to the horses Us well as
to the trainer, viz:
1st. Always feel kindly towards a horse, no
matter what he does to you, and consequently never
show ''temper." Remember the horse knows in
stinctivey how you feel.
3D. Never 20 near a horse if you are afraid of
him; the horse will know it and take advantage Of
it before you acknowledge it yourself. Western

ONE ACRE.

We always consider an acre Of land q mechanics
portion In the original OF the word in the Greek
language, it signited field of any size, but now
limit it to much land as most mechanics need. 1t
il not the extent of surface that always constitutes
acre, 80 far rs the profits capabilities of the
land are concerned. 1t is the most that we can
make out OF IT that constitutes its real size and
value. An acre OF land will sometimes be so man
aged as to support family. Sometimes a crop of
cranberrieS Or of hops to the value of more than
thousands dollars has been realized in a single sea-
son. Forty tons OF roots have been harvested from
A single acre. Apples and pears have been har-
vested by the hundred barrels and crop of some
thing else besides from one acre. We deem it of
more importance to young mechanic to secure an
acre Of land, than wife, horse Il watch. We
speak now OF Young men III the smaller villages,
where acre can be obtained We do not here
mean precisely one hundred and sixty square rods,
because in some positions quarter of an acre is as
valuable as a whole acre in others. The idea is
that young mechanic should q foothold of
some land that he can call his own as soon as possj-
Me- We remember visiting friend in one of our
large towns some years since, whose whole farm
consisted Of his doorya yet in this unpromisinp
place he cOntrivcd to raise large lot of cherries
white beneath them were the pear trees laden 18th
fruit and beneath these were his garden vegetables
His walls were covered with grapes. He had some
shng for bis table from his dooryard all seasons OF
tle year. We felt ashamed of ourself rs we con.
trasted his spot with our own
The truly successful mechanic sets something
else to work besides his two hands to obtain v.
ing He sets ont tree and that works along till il
brings him in an income at a time of life when it is
most needed. His garden vegetables are busy al
work while he is sleeping. They grow as fast as
they can from the little seed he has planted to be-
come large vegetables, which he will find will save
him the labor Of his hands to purchase another
winter.
The experience of forty years past in the history
Of our state goes to show that it is rare to find q
nec 1nnlc who has accumulated property when he
has not AIMED TO own real estate, while the young
with little land of his own can cluster around
him thousand comforts which will be conducive
to has happiness lis he advances in years.
There is a reckless waste of time and money
among too many of our young men at time of life
when they should be accumnlatng something for
the future. 1t is very easy to spend five dollars for
horse and carriage to take ride, but it will not
be so easy to pay rent when one is settled in life
We pity young man Who thinks only of a froic
a watch or q ride, at time Of life when he is hest
able to labor. We pity him because we know he
will one day have cause to regret his course and by
his bitter regrets, cause unhappiness to those
around him, when he should be the means of rem
coring others joyful. May Wold to the wise be
sufficient. Maine Farmer.

Lafayette's Remarkable Remembrance.

1t was often remarked Of Gen. Lafayette
when he was on his tour through the United
States, in 1924, he possessed in a very eX-
traordinary degree, the faculty Of recogniz-
ing his old companions in arms, whom he
had not seen for more than fifty years. He
could call by name as well the privatcs IN
the ranks as the highest officers in the line
The following incident is related by CORE
spondent Of the Richmond Wing, to whom it
was told in the year 1882 by the late Judge
Brooks of the Court OF Appeals Of Virginia,
who had been q captain in the war OF the
Revolutions
guest of Virginia, an obscure individual liv-
ing in Person county North Carolina, who
was known in the Revolutionary army as
Sergeant Hood who belonged to the com
pany commanded by Captain Brooks, and
who, on account Of his singular daring and
uniform good conduct, was a pet OF his Off
GERS, visited the capital for the purpose of
greeting his old commanding general.
Judge Brooke said that on walking across
the Capitol square ono morning he met an
old man who inquired Of him if he could di-
rect him to the quarters Of General Lafayette
adding that he had fought under him when
he was youth and had como 15O miles to
see him. Before the Judge had time to re-
spond the stranger SAID to him, els not this
Captain Brooks to whom l am taking?'
On receiving an affirmative answer he said
''You do not appear to recognize me- | an
Sergeant Hood, who belonged to your COM
pany during the Revolutionary war" The
Judge told me that he was Immediately so fill
ed with the most pleasant rccollections of the
sergeants, many deeds Of valor performed un-
der his own inspection, that he gave him Il
cordial grasp, and went with him to La
fayettc's room.
On entering, and before Il word was spok-
en- by any one else, the Marquis. who was in
I. remote part of the room, eagerly approach
ed the strange old man, and, cxcialming
Sergeant Hood" fell on his neck and wept
tears Of joy. lie recognized this humble
private in an instant, and recouned some Of
his deeds of daring to the astonished com
pany. That he should have recognized any
of his brother officers after separation of
more than half century, during which time
they must have undergone the usual change
wrought in ones appearance by old age,
while his own eyes must have grown dim,
was q matter Of no little surprise, but that he
should have hailed an humble private in the
ranks by name excited the astonishment Of
all who were present. The Judge remarked
that it was one of the most agreeable and
joyful reunions in which he ever participated

CHILBLAINS.

TO prevent chilblains the best plan is to take as
much exercise as possible, and avoid tight wrists
bands, garers, and everything that prevents the
proper circulation of the blood. The most frequent
cause of chbains is the warming of numbed hands
and feet at the fire; this habit should be carefully
avoided. Encourage children to the skipping
rope during cold weather, this is capital prcven-
tive, together with regular washing and rubbing
the feet We give few household remedies for the
cure of these tlisagreeable companions Il. Take
half an ounce of white wax, one ounce of OK mar
row, two ounces of lard melt slowly over fire
In pipkin, and mix them well together then strain
through linen cloth Before going to bed spread
the ointment on the parts affected feet or hands,
taking care to wrap them up well. g Lemon Juice
rubbed on the n1amed parts is said to stop the
itching. A sliced onion dipped in salt has the same
effect, but is apt to make the feet tender When
the chilblans are broken, little warm vinegar or
ncture Of myrrh is an excellent thing to bahe the
wound and keep ii clean Another useful remedy
is bread poultice at bedtime, and in the morning
apply little resin ointment spread piece of lint
or old linen.

BREAKING Ur or STEAMERS One of the
most striking evidences of the decline of our
commercial marine is noticeable in the fear
full sacrifices made in the sale of steamships
by auction and otherwise. A we'll known
firm in this city, doing business on Federal
street, has accumulated fortune in purchas-
ing at low figures ocean and coasting steam
ers, taking out the machinery and breaking
up the hulls for copper, iron and other valu-
able material. Quite recently they purchas-
ed for y trilling sum the beautiful steamship
Seminole, now lying in the dock between
Old Colony railroad and South Boston bridge
This steamer is only eight years old, built
in the most thorough manner 9f seasoned
timber, coppcred and copper fastened
throughout, and OF superb model. A few
days since, the same firm purchased at auc-
ton in New York. the well known and fam
ed steamers Alabama and Morning Star for
the triiiing sum of thirty thousand dollars.
Those once famous vessels, costing nearly
half u million each, are to be broken up for
