Don,t Depend ON Father.

Stand up here, young man, and let
us talk to you. eYou have been trust
ing alone to the contents of your fa-
theirs purse or his tair fame for your
influence ofsuccess in business. Think
you that your father has attained en-
inence in his profession except by. Iin-
wearied industry? Or that he amass-
ed a fortune honestly without energy
or activity? You should know that
the faculty requisite for the acquir-
ing of fame or fortune is essential to
all. nay inseparable from the attain
ment of all these. Suppose father has
the rock in abundance, if you have
never earned anything for him, you
have no more business with these
rocks than the gosling has with q
tortisei And if he allows you to med
die with them until you have gained
them by your own industry, he perpe-
trates untold mischief. And If the
old gentleman is lavish with his cash
toward you, while he is allowing you
to while away your time, you had bet
ter leave him, yes, run sooner than be
an imbeeiie, or something worse,
through so corrupt an influence!-
Sooner or later you must learn to rely
on your own resources, or you will
not be anybody. Begin now, lest
Father Time IN his rapid flight should
pause and seal the stigma of failure
on Your brow. - -

Glass Neck Ties,

A glass composition, which may be
made at any time into curled or friz-
zled yarn, has been discovered by M
B,unfaut, of Vienna. These frizzled
threads surpass in fineness nor only
the finest cotton, but even sim
gle cocoon thread, and they appear at
the same time almost as soft and elas-
tic as silk lint, and beautiful to the
eve. These smooth threads are now
woven into textile fabrics, which are
made into neckties and various other
articles. In softness the glass yarn
almost approaches silk; and to the
touch it is like the choicest wool or
cotton. It also possesses a remarka-
BILE strength, remains unchanged in
light and warmth, and is notaltered
by moisture or acids. Another great
advantage which 1t necessarily pos
sesses, Is that of being non-inflamma-
Bile and incombustible. - The COM
position of this glass material is pc
culiar TO the inventor. The spinning
requires extraordinary dexterity and
constant attention, aud is said to be
very trying to the sight. With O
wheel of the diameter of five Austri.
an yards, one operative is able TO spin
three thousand yards per minute. all
of tie most uniform size and beautiful
quality.

hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by lis use. Nothing can restore

saved by this application, and stimt,-
lated into activity, SO that . new

Of fouling the hair with . pasty scli-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair

consequently prevent badness. Tho
restoration Of vitality it gives 10 the

Bathing in Cold Water. !

Nothing is more common than q
custom of many persons to have q
cold water bath Immediately after
leaving their beds, as a daily habit.
Delicately organized sladies not, unsre-
quenly have established the same
course, considering it conducive to
health. There is an impression that
it invigorates the individual, hsrdens
the muscles, aud strengthens .he con-
stitution. The sudden abstraction OF
caloric or vital warmth in that has not
only injured but destroyed more than
were ever benefited thereby. A re-
action, as it is called, glow of warmth
that subsequently follows, is a direct
draft upon the system to meet sud-
den loss fvitality, and is by no means
SO beneficial as Theoretically imagin-
ed. A tepid bath makes mo such in
furious demands, and, therefore, is
not Injurious or periious tor those oil

Different Kinds of Eyes.

No branch of science has been more
thoroughly mastered than optics. The
principle of vision must be essentially
the same III all eyes, but they differ
remarkably, according to the habits OF
the animal. Birds ofzlofty flight, AS
the condor, eagles, vulturea, and car
rion.seeking prowIers of the feather
ed race have telescopic vision, and
thus they are enabled to look down
and discover their unsuspecting vic
Tins. AS they approach noiselessly
from above, tie axis division changes
shortening, so that they see just as
distinctly within one foot of the
ground as when at an elevation OF
one mile in the air. This fact ex-
plains the balancing ofa fish-hawk on
its pinions half a mile above a still
pond, watching for fish. When one
is f6nnd down the savage hunter
plunges, the focal axis varying as the
square of the distance, giving the
hawk a distinct view of its intended
prey always. As they ascend, then
the axis is elongated by a curious
muscular arrangement SO as to see
afar again.
Snais have their keen ewes at the
extremely of flexible horns,- which
can protrude or draw in at pleasure.
BY winding the instrument round the
edge OF leaf or stalk, they can see
how matters stand on the opposite
side. The hammer headed shark has
its wicked looking eyes nearly two
feet apart. By will effort they can
bend the thin edgings of the heal on
which the organs are located SO as to
examine the two sides OF an object
the size OF a full grown Goldfish. Flies
have immovable eyes. They stand
out from the head like half an apple,
exceedingly prominent, instead of be-
ing smooth heinispheres, they have an
immense mum Der of facets, resembling
old fashioned glass watch seals, each
one directing the light directly to he
optic retina. That explains why they
cannot be approached in any direc-s
ton without seeing what is coming.
