PROTECT Your EYEsIGHT. Milton's blind
ness was the result of overwork and dyspep-
STA. One of the most eminent American d.
vines having for some time been compelled
to forego the pleasure ofreading, spent thous.
ands Of dollars in value, and lost years of
of time, in consequence of getting up several
hours before day and studying by artificial
light. His eyes never got we'll.
| Multitudes of men and women have made
their eyes weak for life by the too free use of
the eyesight, reading fine print and doing fine
sewing. q In view of these things, il is we'll to
TO observe the following rules in the use OF
the eyes
Avoid allsudden changes between light and
darkness fs1.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight. or on
. very cloudy day.
Neversle SO that, on waking, the eyes
shall fall on the light Of a window.
Do not use the eyesight by light so scant
that IL reuures On effort to discriminate. s
It Is best to have the light fall from above
obliquely. over the left shoulder. r..s4.' (
Too much light creates. a glare and pains
and confuses the sight. The moment you are
ment cease and talk, walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be blush
tinge, the carpet green, and the walls OF some
mellow tinge.
Thelmoment you are instinctively prompted
to rub the eyes, that moment cease using
them
1.-THE eyelids are glued together on waking
up. do not forcibly open them, but apply the
saliva with the finger-it is the spcediest dilu-
tent In the world-and then wash your eyes
and face in warm water.
"A VERY SINGULAR CAsE.-Our readers may
remember the recent crime OF one COnnors,
an outside watchman, at the state prison, in
Charleston, who seized small boy and threw
him overheard from the prison wharf. where
he was at play with some other little boys.
though the child plead for his life, telling the
man he could not swim. And, finding the
child could not swim, the brutal man made
no effort to save him; did not SO much as
throw, bit of board to the boy. Connors
was arrested. and sentenced to the state pris.
on for his crime. And, during all the time
between his arrest and committal to prison,
he remained as indifferent and impenitent as
though he had been entirely innocent. But
Immediately after his imprisonment, con-
science awoke within him. The Nervousness
OF crime came before him in such strong and
vivid light, that he could not find rest nor
peace, day nor night. His appetite failed;
his sleep was broken; his health gave way.
He was then removed to the hospital. But
medicines could not reach his agonized mind |;
he pinned to o skeleton and finally died on
Saturday last, of a broken heart; but, 1t is
hoped, a true penitent forhis unnatural crime.

parks, highly cultivated and adorned grounds
