"Don't bite off twice as much as

"There's a fly in the butter !"
shrieked the youngest hopeful in

the eldest daughter, with an air of

"Pass me the mustard" said the
pastor, absently.
Then the committee rose and

Advertising Obituary.

Died, on the 18th inst, at his
shop, No. 90 Greenwich street, Mr..
Edward Jones, much respected by
all who knew and dealt with him.
AS a man, he was amiable /; as a
halter upright and moderate. His
virtues were beyond all price, and
his beaver hats were only three
dollars each. He has left widow
to deplore his loss, and a large
stock to be sold cheap for the ben
eft of his family. He was snatched
to the other world in the prime of
life, just as he concluded an extern
sive purchase of felt, which he got
so cheap that the widow can sup
ply hats at a more reasonable rate
than any other house in the city.
His disconsolate widow will carry
on the business with punctuality.

shook his head in dismal but ex-
pressive pantomime as he tenderly
rubbed a lump that looked like
billiard ball with bsir on it. The
pastor gravely paused for the in
terruption, and resumed:
"The Apostle Paul"
"Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at
Green Balume's this afternoon"
said his eldest daughter, addressing
her mother. "She had the same
old everlasting black silk, made
over with a vest of tilieul green
silk, coat tail basque pattern, over

low straw hat, with black velvet

A Good Story.

Our readers shall have the bene-
fit of good story we once heard.
Travelling into town one night
about dusk, Mr.. X. had occasion to
call at the mansion of an esteemed
friend who had, among other
worlds possessions, two or three
very fine daughters. He had
scare knocked at the door when it
was opened by one Of these bloom
ing maidens, who, as quick as
thought, threw her arms around
his neck, and before he had time to
say "Oh, DON'T" pressed her warm,
delicate lips to his, and gave him as
sweet a kiss as ever heart of swain
deserved. In utter establishment,
the worthy gentleman was endeav-
oring to stammer out something,
when the damsel exclaimed: ooh,
mercy, mercy! Mr.. K, is this
you! / thought as much as could
be it was my brother Henry"
"Pshaw :" thought the gentle
man to himself, "you didn't think
any such thing" But taking her
hand, he said in forgiving tone:
There's no harm done. Don't
give yourself any uneasiness, though
you ought to be a little more care
full"
After this gentle reproof, he was
ushered into the parlor, by the
maiden, who, as she came to the
light, could not conceal the deep
blush that glowed on her cheek ;
while the bouquet that was pin
ned upon her bosom, shook like
flower garden in an earthquake.
And when he rose to depart, it,
however, fell to her to wait upon
him to the door; and it may be
added they held discourse together
of some minutes; on what subject
it is not for us to say.
AS the warm-bearted youth plod-
ded homeward he argued with him
self in this wise:
"Miss j. knew it was me who
knocked at the door, or how did
she recognize me before spoke :
And is it probable tha6her brother
would knock before entering? She
must be desperately in-pshaw F.!
Why, if she loves a brother at that
rate, how must she love O husband ?
for by the great squash, l never
felt such kiss in my life !"
Three weeks after the above in
cident, Mr.. X. was married 10

How the Eyes of the Young are
Damaged.

Resuming now the consideration
of near-sight, we proceed to sug-
gest some of its principal causes,
as follows:
l. Too early use by school-child-
rem of books, states, and writing
paper, or copy-books, when black
boards and models would be better.
Type and script letters and figures,
and their primary combinations, at
least should never be Taught from
books, but from large and perfectly
formed models printed on cards
and hung on the wall. When the
eye and the memory are sufficient
ly trained to easily recognize and
name each letter and figure at
sight, and when some know
ledge has been gained of the power
of letters and figures in combina-
ton, then the same forms in books
will be at once familiar as old ac-
quaintances, and may be studied
without straining the sight. To
train the hand without straining
the sight presents q greater prac-
tical difficulty. In large schools, of
course, all the children cannot go
to the blackboard. But consid-
cradle practice in drawing large
lines and simple objects on good
sized states, in sort of free-hand
style, should precede the formation
OF letters and figures; and, when
these are begun, they should be
made Of generous size. A correct
position, meanwhile, should be an
imperative requirement; and until
it becomes habitual and easy, good
work should be held to be secondary
Importance. Hard slate-pencils
and greasy slate-suface should not
be permitted both should be sub
ject to systematic inspection.
2. Ignorance or laxity on
the part of the parents and
primary teachers, in PERMITTING
faulty position of head, body and
book during reading, studing and
writing; and in not seeking early
to secure the intelligent co-opera-
ton OF the pupil by simple and APP
propriate physiological instruction.
3. A prolonged and steady look
ing at an object OF at objects
near the eye, though at a proper
distance, without rest or frequent
change Of the visual focus, as in
long and absorbed novel-reading,

intense study, or persistent dill
gence in needle work.
4. The practice of reading or
otherwise using the sight at too
short range. This results in part
from insufficient light, or from its
faulty direction, 80 that the hand or
body throws a shadow on the page |;
or so that the direct rays fall upon
the eye, causing undue contraction
of the pupil, while the page is in
shadow. 1t results also from i'm
properly graded desks, from small
and poor type and inferior printing
ink, and from faulty color and
quality of printing-paper; also,
from pale writing ink-pale when
used-and from the substitution of
the lead pencil for the pen, es-
pecially in the evening.
5. A prone or forward position
of the head too long maintained, or
frequently repeated, and becoming
a habit. This results from reading
or studing with books in the lap,
and from the use of desks not
graded to the height of the pupil.
DR.. Howe reports pupils varying
eighteen inches in height seated in
the same grade of desks. The dis
lance of the eye from the page
should not be less than twelve nor
more than eighteen inches. Hav-
ing the desks set too far from the
seats also induces these faulty pos
itions. The front of the desk
should overlap the seat one or two
inches.
Donders says, "In hygiene of
myopia the very first point is to
guard against working in a stoop-
ed position" He favors high slop-
ing desks, and indicates "rectili-
near drawing on fat surface" as
a class of work which is especially
Objectionable.
6. Since a vitiated atmosphere
is frequent feature of the school
room, it may not be amiss to add
here that the effect of bad air is
indirectly to injure, if not destroy,
the sight.
I. Allowing sun-glare on the
page while reading; also transi-
tons from cloud shadow to sun
shine.
8. Reading and studying in
railroad cars is known to be a
fruitful source of injury.
9. But insufficient light, per-
haps more than any other cause,
produces disease of the eye and
arrangement of the vision. This
is not confined to the schools

there, it is believed to be oftener IL
