Wonderful Vision.


In a recent copy of the Birmingham (Eug-
land) Register there is an interesting account of
a lad whose powers OF vision entirely eclipse
anything of the kind ever heard of before. He
is no less than 4 living microscope, and pos
sesSes the faculty of seeing minute objects mag
mfed to a marvellous degree. When quite
young he was afflicted with disease peculiar to
the eyes and fears were entertained that he
woald lose his sight. He recoveredSgradualy,
but ii was noticed that the disease had mater
tally affected the organization Of the eye-in
fact, changed its internal structures, the corner
being greatly enlarged, the crystalline lens
being divided into three different parts, each
part surrounded with 2ht blue circle, and in
the centre of each appears the iris, but greatly
diminished in size, being about the circumler-
ence of a small pinhead. He cannot distinguish
objects at 4 distance, they appearing to him as
distinct objects do to ordinary eyes when viewed
through telescope drawn out of focus, blurred
and miSsbapen. His case is exciting great in
terest among scientific men, who have formed
various opinions as to the causes that have
wrought such a change.
Added TO this wonderful talent of microscopic
sight, the lad exhibits that Of beng able to
sketch the objects he examines, and give to the
world the result of his studies. He has within
the last year examined and sketched quite
number Of beautiful specimens of DiatomaCea
P0yeyStina and sponge Spinules, that were
kindly loaned him by several gentlemen of
other published views of the same objects, in
order to test their truthfulness, and the result
has beea altogether satisfactory. A copy of
one OF the papers photographed in Paris during
the last siege was shown him, and he immedi-
ately read the lines and pronounced the words
which, however, he did not understand, not
being versed in French. Scientists who have
paid attention to this case state, as the result of
their experiments that the magnitying power
of his vision is about five hundred dia,netres.
One curious fact connected with his vision
is that he will never examine water, having
once, soon after his recovery, discovered the
vast number Of infuSola contained in some he
was in the act of drinking, which had the effect
to thoroughly Brighten him, since which event
no induCement can make him repeat the expert
ment Sir Charles Madden, f. R. S, has paid
much attention 10 this singular case, and has
brought it prominently before that body by a
series Of interesting papers. 1t is said that DR..
Crowder, prominent oculist, is preparing an
elaborate article on the subject for the London
Lancet.

But little change has there been wrought,
With ali its blood and tears,
Within this wicked world Of ours,
In eighteen hundred years.
Where'er, without the common course,
One dares O step aside,
And not with Jealous spur and whip
The common hobby ride,
Above the blast we hear again
The eyer-fearful cry,
Which rang above Judea's hills,
And called to "cTucTg."
Though one may speak the thrilling truth
That sinners heed and live,
And paint with more than poets pen
The life that Christ can give,
Yet, on the soil we boast as free,
If he in freedom dare
To choose the color of his gloves
Or parting OF his hair,
We hear again the dire command
Which rent Judean sky
For one has dared to be a man
And man must "crUcVy."
Though with glowing tongue he plead
And utter words that burn
To urge the dying souls that they
To Jesus cross may turn.
Yet, should he dare to use the words
That deck the sacred page,
He's too unchaste to speak the truth
In this refined age.
Then raise the cry. aud let the priests,
As IN the days gone by,
Urge on the lrenzied multitude,
And shout to 'cracJD."
Though he, with lore that few possess,
And heart inflmed with love,
Should lead the straying lambs to find
The blessed fold above,
Yet, should he choose to wear hat
Of broad protecting brim,
Or wipe, with colored silk, the nose
That must belong to him,
Tlen raise that, now familiar, shout
That Christ may hear on high,
For one who loves the souls of men
Mankind must "crUcifg."
