Care of the Ewes.

Prescott, the historian, in conse-
quence of a disorder of the nerve
of the eye, wrote every one of his his
tories without pen or ink, as he
could not see when his pen was out
of ink, or from any other cause fail
ed to make a mark. He used a
stylus on carbonated paper, the lines
and edges of the paper being indi-
Gated by brass wires in a wooden
frame.
Crawford, the sculptor, the habit
of whose life had been to read in a
reclining position, lost one eye and
soon died from the formation; of. a
malignant cancerous tumor behind
the ball, which pushed it out on the
check.
There are many affections of the
eye which are radically incurable.
Persons of scrofulous constitutions,
without any special local manifesto
tiOns of it, often determine the dis
ease to the eye by some erroneous
habit of practice, and it remains
there for life. 1t is useful, there
fore, to know some of the causes
which, by debilitating the eye, invite
disease to 1t, or render it incapable
of resisting adverse circumstances.
Avoid reading by candle or any
other artificial light.
Reading by twilight ought never
to be indulged in. A safe rule is,
never read after sundown or before
sunrise. @
Do not allow yourself to read a.
moment in reclining position,
whether in a bed or on a sofa.
The practice of reading while on
horseback, or in any vehicle IN mo-
tion by wheels, is most pernicious.
Reading on steam or sail vessels
should not be largely indulged in,
because the slightest motion of the
page or your body alters the focal
point and requires painful strain
ing effort to re-adjust it.
Never attempt to look at the sun
while shining, unless through a col
ored glass of some kind; even a
very bright moon should not be
long gazed at.
The glare of the sun on water is
very injurious to the sight.
A sudden change between bright
light and darkness is always very
pernicious.
In looking at minute objects re-
lieve the eyes frequently by turning
them to something in the distance.
Let the light, whether artificial or
natural, fall on the page from behind
or little to one side.
Every parent should peremptorily
forbid all sewing by candle or gas
light, especially of dark material.
If the eyes are matted together
after sleeping, the most instantane-
GUS and agreeable solvent IN nature
is the application of the saliva with
the fingers before opening the eye.
Never pick it off with the fingernail,
but wash it off with the ball of the
fingers in quite warm water.
Never bathe or open the eyes in
cold water. 1t always is til safest, |
best and most agreeable to use warm |
water for that purpose over seventy
degrees.

LONG AGO.

Still the rock is in the forest,
With the branches overhead,
And the linden tree low bending
BY the sumac, flaming red.
In and out among the shadows
Glides the self-same woodland stream, !,
Still the bright-eyed squirrels listen,
And the beetles idly dream.
Do the squirrels hear football
Or the beetles flash their green
For hand that parts the branches,
Letting sunlight in betweenr
Does the brook with ripping lightness.
Catch two shadows-his and mine
Give them to its circling esidieS
With murmuring divine?
Do the lichens, gray and clinging,
Hear promise whispered there.
While the ferns look up and listen,
Laughing through the maiden-h -hairs
Do the birds that fill the distance,
Orthe glints OF summer blue,
Try to sing and shine our gladness
As, Of old, they used to dor
All! what folly! Years are flying,
Though the days drag on so slow,
Yet I'm sure it is no dreaming,
Sure it happened-lOng ago.
Where he lives and loves, l know not
Only know the earth is cold
Something came between to part us
In our youth. And am old.

secret" again interrupted her ia.

secret" again interrupted her ia
ther.
Sand she hoped our dear Saviour
would forgive her because she could
not help it; and she said / wasn't to
tell you"
Tell me what?"
"That she would rather see you
dead than tipsy, father, because it
makes her hate you when she tries
so hard to love you, and make US
happy"
Mr.. Lawton covered his face with
his hands, and remained silent near
ly minute. Then he stopped down
and whispered, "Thank you for your
secret, Minnie. l will try to re-
member it, only don't tell mother
that you have told me-"
Seeing that her father was very
much distressed, Minnie readily
promised that she would not.
"Surely it must have been the
good God who who prompted me to
call my darling to me-" he exclaim-
ed, when hs daughter had gone
back to her mother, "and with the
help of Him who alone can save sim
ners, you shall see your foolish
wicked father tipsy no more"
Shortly afterward he entered his
wife's presence; but the events of
the previous day were in no way al
luded to. 7---. ~
r. r
Nearly twelve months had passed
away since the night on which Mr..
Lawton had stayed out so late,
when his good wife, with heart
full of gratitude and gladness, ven
tured to tell him how happy shefelt
now that he..didn't seem to care for
liquors or public-house company.
May, dear Polly, you must thank
our angel Minnie fors,t the change"
he said smiling. "She told me her
secret and 1 confessed my folly.
From that day forward 1 resolved
that you should have no more cause
to hate me, Polly, and the longer l
live the firmer am / convinced that
a working man cannot support the
public-house without. robbing the
private house."
Mr.. Lawton smiled too-a smile |
that spoke more eloquently of in
ward joy than words could have
done.
How true it is, that loving,
thoughtful child may sometimes ac-
complish more than grown up men
and women. Minnie got her sweets
and they are not done yet.-Brit-
ash WorkUOmen.

An Unkind Tear.

When l used to tend store at the
Regulator in Syracuse, the old
man comes round one day, and says
he
"Boys, the one that sells the most
'twixt now and Christmas, gets a
vest pattern as present"
Maybe we didn't work for that
vest pattern! 1 tell you there were
some tall stories told in praise of
goods just about that time; but the
tallest talker and the one that had
more cheek than any of US was a
certain Jonah Squires, who roomed
with me. He could talk a dollar out
Of mans pocket when the man in
tended to spend but six-pence; and
the woman-Lord bless you-they
just handed over their pocket books
to him and let him lay out what he
liked for them.
One night Jonah woke up with,
"By Josh, old fellow, it you think
that ere's got any cotton in it, I'll
bring down the sheep it was cut
from, and make him swear to his
own wool! 'Twon't wear out either
wore pair of pants that kind O.
stuff myself for five years, and
they're as good now as when first
put 'em on! Take it at thirty cents
and I'll say you don't owe me any
thing. Eh! too dear? Well, call it
twenty-eight cents. What dye say?
Shall 1 tear it? All right, it's bar
gain"
could feel Jonah's hands play
ing about the bed-clothes for an in
slant, then rip! tear! went some
thing or another, and l hid my head
under the blankets, perfectly con
vulsed with laughter, and sure that
Jonah lad torn the sheet from top
to bottom. When l woke up next
morning, L found-alas, unkindest
tear of all-that the back of my
night shirt was split from tail to
collar band!

Syrian Logic

A Syrian convert to Christianity
as the story goes, was urged by his
EMPLOYER to work on Sunday, but
he declined, But said the master,
does not your Bible say that if a
man has an OK or an ass fall in a
pit on the Sabbath day he may pull
him out?' Yes,' answered Haydn;
:" but if the ass has n habit of fall
ing into the same pit every Sabbath
day" then the man should fill up the
pit or sell that ass"
The story has sort of swivel
moral which will fit a great many
points in these days.

CONFERENCE OF THE kAIsERs.-A brief cable
telegram announces that Prince Bismarck has
gone to Gastein to attend the meeting OF the
EmperOrs of Austria and Germany at that
place. This is q significant fact particularly as
Francis Joseph will be accompanied by Count
Beust Had the two Emperors met with only
their personal attendants about them, il might
be concluded that their conference was merely
for the exchange Of cOurtesies; but taking their
Prime Ministers with them looks as IL they
meant business. Bismarck and Beust have been
opponents for years. Both are masters of in
trigue, but In their plOttings Bismarck has
always heretofore had the advantage. Both
cherished the idea Of demonstrating Germany;
but while one wished 70 make Prussia subOrdi-
pate, the other desired to make her supreme.
and he has succeeded Whether these ancient
foes and their imperial masters will now join
hands for their mutual advantage remains TO be
seen.

The druggists war in New York continues. and
q few Of the pharmsoeutists stubbornly refuse tn

The community and the newspapers were forced
by repeated drug murders to demand legislation

twenty-five druggists passed per day, and this
