sPECrACLEs.

Many are ashamed to use speotaeles, beoauso
they regard it sign Of old age, and injure their
eyes by tasking them too heavily. Good Health
speaks sensibly on this subject;
The best work Of many mans life is done
after he has put on glasses. The idea, a very
natural Que, il must be confessed, that we are
getting old when we have to put on glasses for
ordinary occupations, aud the equally natural
feeling Ct desiring TO deslst or push of old age,
or to keep il concealed, has, and will always,
deter many from given their eyes the necessary
help which speetacles alone afford. lfsuddenly
all print aud writing, and every form Of fine
work, should be changed to two or three times
huer, then the necessity for glasses would come
at twenty-five to thirty years, and this then
Wuold be old age. For as previously shown,
the mower Of accommodation required to adjust
the eyes for near or foe WORK is in reality
greatest at about ten years Of age, aud com
meuoes to fade from that time toward. there
fore, 80 far as it concerned, old age would
then begin. Hence thb absurdity Of feeling che
grined BY, or regarding the use Of speotaoles as
proof Of old age, or a fading from the high est
attainable strength aud activity man eau
possess. Let ii therefore be understood that by
old sight, or presbyOpia, is meant that the nat
ural change OF gradual loss Of accommodation ol
the eye, has simply reached the stage when il
commences to interfere with distinct and easy
vision Of this smaller objects which are OF the
size, habit and custom have made them, bas et
upon the general average Of the normal poWel
Of sight. 1t is no sudden change or loss Of vita
power, but simple reminder that We have ar
rived at certain age, as O poll-tax bill notfel
the younger man be is responsible for himself
and has become citizen. IL is therefore
perfectly healthy and normal eye which
between the nges of forty and fOrty-hVe,
obliged to be asiss.sd by glass. 1t cannot 6
many years beyond this time uuaided, withou
risk Of injury aud s,rainiog the power Of sigh

Loves Young Dream

They tell story about a girl who wished to
rid herself of a persistent lover. So, when
he used TO come around in the evening, she
would ask him il he wouldn't please help
John TO carry the piano up stairs, and ne
wonld take of his coat and work like a brig
ade OF Irishmen until il was time to go home.
Then the next evening, as soon as he called,
she would say, wouldn't he please help John
to carry the piano down stairs againf and at 1t
he would 90 lifting and pulling and bursting
blood vessels, until the hour arrived ior depart
ure. This kind of thing continued for about
a week when one night he got the piano down
as far as the frst landiog, and the corner fell
on his toe. Then he tonfded to tue faithful
John his secret conviction that Loves Young
Dream was fast assuming the character oil
most disgusting and oppressive nightmare.
Leaving the piano there, he went down to
ask his enslaver to say finally and forever Just
where she wanted that piano to be fixed. He
was surprised TO find upon entering the parlor
that another young man was there-a young
man with mild eyes and spectacles. And, there
that young man had been every night, while
he was moving the furniture aud cherishing
visions Of blssl II occupied exactly four
minutes, and when the combatants were with
drawn, the pianist rushed from the house,
singing, "Beware she's fooling thee" while u
mid.eyed young man decorated with spec
iacles might have been seen lying on the sofa,
feeling one Of his mild eyes to find how much

Some fathers seem to think that when they
have given their children a fine education, and
good start in life they have fully done their
duty, and nothing more is 10 be required OF
them. That Is mistake fertile in sorrowful
consequences. There is no time 80 anxious
and critical as those years Of unwisdom and
inexperience, as the few which precede the
indlscrete time when we come to years OF dis.
erection. To the young man out in the world
you must make home and holidays as cheer
iul and beloved as possible; that such should
be the case, is to young woman the very lie
Of her life. like it not that the young man
should settle all his plans in life, and do his
wooing to his future bride, before he says one
word to his father; and that the maiden should
yield her assent unknown to her mother. Yet
this will assuredly be the case unless you
have won your sons confidence and intimacy
and love. Aud these feelings will not come
unless they are sought for and elected. There
is such width of years between yon, some-
thing so authoritative and magisterial about
the parental character, that there is often a
great shyness between fltner and son; but SILL
that blessed relationship offatherhoodis some
thing Infinitely grander and deeper than all
haTsher and more formal associations. where
there are tried tenderness and sympathy there
will be truest deepest friendship between
parent and child. 1t is this prudent, loving
guidance that will give the son help in the
most hazardous years Of life, and which VIII
come back on the fathers heart "A Hood OF
love end comfort.

The First Newspaper

An ambitious physician Of Paris RenaudoL
by name more than two hundred years ago
hit upon good idea for"cutting out his more
learned brethren, which he was not long in
putting into execution, to his own no small
advantage, and the great chagrin OF his broth
VT professionals. His plan was an extremity
simple one, for he obtained his popularity by
the very innocent expedient ofcollecting infOr-
nation, and then circulating news sheets
among his patients, for their especial delecta-
tion and amusement But inasmuch as the
seasons were not always sickley, and he found
he had plenty Of time on his hands, he was
encouraged by his success to devote his atten'
ton more exclusively 10 the business Of jour
nalism, by providing the puplic at large with
news; and accordingly; in 1851, he succeeded
in obtaining for himself and family solely the
privilege Of publishing a newspaper called the
Gagette de France, Such, at least, is the &C
count Of the origin Of newspapers given by DE
l Saint Folk

Table Conversation.

A great deal Of character is impaired and
received at the table. Parents too often for.
get this; md, therefore, instead Of swallowing
your food in sullen silence, instead Of brood
talking about others, let the conversation at
the table be genial kind, sociable and cheer
ing DO not bring dsagreeable things to
the table in your conversation any more than
in dishes. For this reason too the more good
company you have at your table the better for
your children. Every conversation with
company at your table is an educator Of the
family. Hence the intelligence and refinement
and the appropriate behaviour of family which
is given to hospitality. Never feel that intel.
ligent visitors can be anything but blessing
toyou md yours. How few have fully gotten
hold of the tact that company and conversation
are no small part Of education.

Rowland Hill was annoyed when there hap
pened to be auy noise to divert the attention Of
his hearers from what he was saying. On one
occasion, few days before his death, he was
preaching to one Of the most crowded congre-
cations that ever assembled to hear him. 10
The middle Of his discourse he observed COM
motion in the gallery. For some time he took
no notice Of it, but finding il increasing, he
paused in his sermon, aud looking 10 the drec-
tion in which the confusion prevailed, he eK-
claimed: what is the matter therel The devil
seems to be among you" A plain, country
looking man Immediately started to his feet,
ani addressing Hill in reply, said; "No, sir; II
aren't the devil as is doin' II; it's fat lady
Wot's tainted, and she is fat 'un, sir, and don
seem likely to come to agin' in hurry!" "0h
that's it, is III" observed Mr.. Hill, drawing hi
hand across his chin; "then beg the lady
pardon-and the DEVILS too"

Between the eras Of swaddling bands aud cor.

must have been far in her "teens" or out ofthem
before she caught glimpse Of the model young
lady with tspering waist, pnohsd feet, faslidlous

every movement and utterance. She looked
upon the lay-fgure with admiration, aud forth

Indifferent success. "As the tHig is beut the

silence.

How eloquent is silence Aequiescenoe, con
tradiotion, difference, disdain, embarrassment,
and awe, may all be expressed BY saying Moth
ing. Il may be necessary to illustrate This ar
parent paradox by few examples. Do you
seek an assurance Of your lady-love's ahecuoni
The fair one confirms her lovers fondest hopes
BY q compliant aud asserting silence. Should
you hear an assertion, whioa you may deem
false, made by some one Of whose vsraoity po-
Hteuess may withhold you from openly deolar-
ing your doubt, you denote difference Of opin-
ion by remaining silent. Are you receiving
rsprimand hon a superiorf You mark your
respect by an attentive silence. Are you CON-
PEELED TO listen to the frivolous eonversation Of
. fopi You signify your opinion Of him by
treating his loquaoity with contemptuous silence
Are you in the course Of aaJ negotiation about
to enter on a discussion painful to your oWn
feelings, aud to those who are concerned in il 7
the subjrc ct is almost invariably prefaced by an
aukWaid silence. Sllenoe has also its utility
and advantages. Aud first, what an invaluable
portion Of domestic strife might have been pre-
vented, how often might the quarrel which BY
mutual sggraVaiion, has, perhaps, terminated
10 bloodshed, have been checked at its com
msncement by a judioious silence ThOs'
persons only who have experienced them ar
aware Of the beneficial effects Of that forbear-
anee, which to the eXaspersiug threat, th'
malicious sneer, or the unjustly imputated Gu!
pability, shall never answer a word. Secondly
there are not wanting Instances where the rep
atation, fortune, the happiness, nay the life {
fellow creature, might be preserved BY
charitable silence.
