understanding would rather treat an ofense with
contempt than show his indignation by uttering an
oath 1t is vulgar; altogether too low for a decent
man. 1t Is eowsrdly implying fear Of either not
being believed or Obeyed. 1t is ungentlemSnly. A
gentleman, according to the dictionary, is gentle
bred and Iefued. It is indecent, ofen-

It is foolish Want Of dseeney is want Of sense. It
is abusive-to the mind which conceived the OATH to
the tongue which uttered it, and to whom it is amed
1t is comtemPtibs fOrfeting the respect of the wise

Look AFrER TIE ErEs.-Multitudes Of men and
women have their eyes weak for life by the too free
use Of eyezght, reading small print and fne sewing
In view Of these things, it is well to observe the
onOving rules in the use Ofthe eyes =
Avoid all sudden changes between light and !
iArkness.
Ssver read by twilight on 3 very cloudy day.
Never sleep 50 that on waking the eyes shall open
IN the Light Of the window.
Do not use eyesight by light seant that it re-
Iures an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in front Of the light of
Eindov.
1t is best to have the light from above, eblique
y, or over the lsft shoulder.
Too much light creates glare, and pain. and con
uses the sight The moment you are sensible Of an
FAlk or ride
As the sky is blue and the earth green, it would
eeu that the ceiling should be blush tinge, the
arpet green, and walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instincsively inclined to rub
he eyes, that moment cease to them.
II the eyelids glued together waking. do
Oreiby open them, but apply saliva with the finger,
nd then wash your eyes and face with warn water.

ook Of Astronomy, affirmed that EDck's value Of the
istAnee could not vary from the trath By more than
. three-hundredth part. Quite recently, however,
strOnomers have been led, by various eOnsiderA- 4
ous, TO regard the distance As somewhat too great
nd hence the results Of the observations in Deem

OF yet been completed. 1t is known, however, that
