Power OF the Eye.

Man cannot fix his eyes on the sun,
and so far seems imperfect. In Sibe-
ria, late traveller found men who
could see the satellites of Jupiter
with the unaided eye. In some res
peLts the animals excel us. The
birds have q longer sight, besides
the advantage by the wings of q
higher observatory. A COW can bid
her calf, by secret signal, probably
of the eye, to run away, or to lie
down or hide itself. The jockeys
say of certain horses, that "they
look ever the whole ground" The
outdoor lite, and hunting and labor,
give equal vigor to the human eye.
A farmer looks out at you as strong
as the horse; his eye-beam is like the
stroke of staff. An eye can threa-
ten like loaded and leVeled gun
or can insult like Kissing or kicking;
or in its altered mood, by beams of
kindness it can make the heart dance
with joy.
Eyes are as bold as lions-roving,
summing, leaping' here and there, far
and near. They speak all Language
es. They want no introduction;
they are no Englishmen; ask no leave
of age, or rank; they respect neither
poverty nor riches, neither learning
nor power, nor virtue, nor sex, but
intrude, and come again, and go
through and through you, in a mo-
ment of time. What inundation OF
life and thought is discharged from
one soul into another, through them!
The glance is natural migic. We
look into the eyes to know If this
other form is another self, and the
eyes viii not lie, but make faithful
confession what inhabitant is there.
The revelations are sometimes ter
rife. The confession of low, us
urping devil is there made, and the
observer shall seem TO feel the STIR
ring of owls and bats and horned
hoOfs, W here he looked for inno-
cence and simplicity. 'Tis remarka-
bic, too, that the spirit that appears
at the windows of the house does
at once invest himself in new form
of his own, to the mind of the be-
! holder. Emerson.

Coda Advice.

President Porter, of Yale College,
gave the following advice TO the stu
dents of that institution the other
day:
"Young men, you are the archi-
tects of your own fortunes. Rely
upon your own strength of body and
soul. Take for your star self-reli-
ance, faith, honesty and industry.
Inscribe on your banner, 'Iuek is a
fool, pluck is a hero" Don't take
too much advice; keep atLthe helm
and steer your own~ship, and re-
member that the igreatc art of COM
manding is tto.take. affair share of
the work. Don't practice too much
humanity. Think wellsof yourself.
Strike out. Assume your position.
Put potatoes in your cart sover a
rough road, small ones go to the bot
tom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy, invincible
determination, with right motive,
are the levers that move the world.
Don't drink; don't chew; don't de-
ceive; don't smoke; don't swear;
don't read novels; don't marry until
you can support wife. Be in earn
est; be self-reliant; be generous; be
civil. Read the papers; advertise
your business. Make money, and
do good with it. Love your God
and fellow-man; love truth and vir-
tue; love your country and obey it's
laws"
If this advice is implicitly follow
ed by the young men of the country,
| the millennium is near at hand.

THE RIVER.

A little child, as the morning fair,
Whose glittering waves Of golden hair
Cleaned in the sunshine's culver;
Gathering leaves ofthe woodbine spray,
Gathering cowslip and colt's-foot gay,
FInging them out to float away,
Down the river.
A girl, who fingered as If to see
The May flowers dancing merrily
By the banks where the willows shiver;
Y6t saw but the loye-light IN pleading eyes,
And heard but the music in low replies,
As she sat, in the glow Of the MONDAY skies,
BY the river.
A woman, pausing as If to note
The great white lilies serenely float
In the sunsets crimson quiyer,
O'er w hose face flashed q sudden gleam,
As she heard the changeless voice Of the
stream,
And thought how she dreamed her first
love dream
BY the river
A lonely mouTner, who fingered late,
Tho the grave was closed, the turf lay
straight,
And earth was earth's forever;
Out from the churehyard path she passed,
And stood where the dead had loitered
last,
While the crescent moon her radiance cast
On the river.
And ever and aye, with the self-same song,
The mighty waters rolled along
'Twixt the banks where the willows shiYer;
Through childhood's laugh and girlhood's
sigh,
While lie drags on aud old men die,
To the ocean, whose name is Eternity,
Rolls the river.
