five have any eross-eyed boy read
ers, perhaps they will like to read this
little incident Which is related in the
Eteaiag Nail:
A surgeon Of this city was once
driving hone. with a medical friend,
from one Of the large uptown hospi-
tails. He had Just been performing u
critical operation upon the eye. As
he passed one OF the villages of shan
ties that we have described he noticed
company of ragged children playing
upon the r0ck-unkempt little rascll>
who gambolled like so many wild
goats upon the broken ground. One
of them was cross-eyed. The surgeon
cast a professional glance upon him.
and Immediately conceived the idea OF
playing scientific joke upon the
youugster for his benefit. Reinning
up his horse, he said:
''See here, my boy; don't you want
to have your eyes Strengthened, so that
you will look like the other boys?"
''Yes, sur" answered Mickey.
''fhen jump right up here, and I'll
stgaighten them for you in half II
minute
And the doctor slyly opened his
case Of instruments, taking care that
the little fellow should not see what
he was doing.
Mike approached the carriage with
the suspicious step of childhood, but
the commanding air of the surgeon
magnetized him. and he began to
climb the steps Of the brougham.
Just then he caught glimpse Of the
glittcring steel and endeavored to re-
treat, but he was too late. The two
dottors seized their struggling prize
aIN pinioned him between them. The
other youngsters looked on. a ring OF
Mortified spectators, as in a twinkling
the sharp scalpel flashed in the face Of
the captive. His screams were of no
avail; the adventurous surgeon in-
stantly made the necessary incisionS.
and in less than sixty seconds he hal
performed, somewhat hastily, it is
true, the operation for "conyergent
strabismus," had Strengthened the
boys eyes against his will, and hail
set him down among his playmates
aglin. 4lcn touching up his ponies
the doctor whirled off around the cor
ner before the indignant parents could
arrive upon the scene.

The Great Mission Of woman.

Blackwood's magazine, one of the
most popular literary publications that
eminate from the press of the Old
World, thus gives its estimate of the
work assigned to woman:
Great indeed is the task assigned
to woman! Who can elevate it? Not
to make laws, not to lead armies, not
to govern empires; but to form those
by whom laws are made. armies led,
and empires governed; to guard
against the slightest taint Of bodily in
trinity, the frail, yet spotless crea-
lures, whose moral, no less than phys
ical being, must be derived from her;
to inspire those principles, to inclll-
cate those doctrines. to animate those
sentiments which generations yet un-
born and nations yet unCivilized will
learn to bless; to soften firmneSs into
mercy, and chasen honor into refine
ment; by soothing care to allay the
anguish OF the body, and the far worse
anguish of the mind; by her tender
ness to disarm passion; by her purity
to triumph over sense; to cheer the
scholar sinking under his toll; to be
compensation for friends that are per-
tidous-for happiness that has passed
away. Such is her vocation. The
couch of the tortured sufferer, the
prison of the deserted friend, the cross
of the rejected Saviom-thcse are the
atres on which her greatest triumphs
have been achieved. Such Is her deS-
tiny; to visit the forsaken; to tend to
the neglected when monarchs ahan-
don. when connselors betlay, when
justice proSecutes, when brethren and
disciples flee to remain unshaken and
unchanged, and to exhibit in this low
er world type of love, constant, pure.
infallible, which in another we arr.
taught to believe the test Of virtue.

One day soldier came into his

deep lines Of suffering. The Judge,
pretending not to notice him, contin-
ued his work. The soldier filmbled
in his pocket for long time, and then
In an uncertain, disappointed voice, as
though he saw that lie was unwel-

The Judge acting against the promp-
ting Of warm, generous heart, made
no reply. Presently thin, trembling
hand pushed a note along the desk.
The Judge raised his face slightly, and
was about to say, Il have no time for
such matters as those" when he dis
covered the writing was that of his
own son, soldier in the army. lie

The Radicals have one peculiar
feature about all their professions
and public meetings and that is,
that young negro boys do most
of the applauding. You may be
a half mile off from one of the
puplic meetings and distinctly
hear the youngsters straining
their Threats to give responsibility
to their assemblies. 1t is really
surprising that the matured heads
among the colored men, do not
see how ashamed white Radicals
are to be seen in their professions.
These whites usually in such eases,
take the carriages or horses, and
let their black friends do the walk
ing. Why don't these celored
men require these white fellows
to walk in double file with colored
men, one white and one black
together? just put them to this
test, colored men, and you will
find only the Office seekers in your
professions, and they will make
themselves as obscure as possible.
