ing something by him. He is the living
light fountain, which it is good and
pleasant to be near; the light which
enlightens, which has enlightened, the

a kindled lamp only, but rather as a
natural luminary, shining by the gift OF
heaven; a flowing light fountain, as we

Fortunes in Florida from orange

He has a four hundred acre farm at
Piney Point and has Just planted it
with eighty-four quarts of orange seed,
which are expected to produce 10000
trees. If they bear 5000 oranges each
annually, he viii have 2,1OO,OOO,O00
oranges, which, at the low price Of two

Some interesting experiments made
in Germany in the production Of local
anasthesia show that if the hand be i'm
mersed for a short time in ice-water
severe pain is caused, but that no such
pain is produced on immersing the hand
in cold alcohol, not even when the tenn
perature of the alcohol is as low as five
degrees Cent. Glycerine was found to
possess a similar property. Ether Occa-
stoned pain, and quicksilver more acute
pain still, causing the speedy withdrawal
Of the finger when plunged into this
liquid at a temperature of three degrees.
It was next ascertained that on the
finger being held for long time in alcO-
hoI having a temperature of five degrees
Cent. no pain was experienced, and,
although the finger distinctly perceived
the faintest touch, sharp pricks gave no
pain. This seems to show that the appl-
cation of cold alcohol, one Of the most
simple as well as safe processes, has the
effect of depriving the part of the special
sensibility to pain without, however,
impairing the deicacy of the general
tactile sensation which, is as well known,
resides in the superficial integunent.

WEAK EYEs.-A very simple remedy
for weak eyes is recommended by
physician, as follows: "Get a five cent
cake of elder flowers at the druggists,
and steep in one gill Of water-it must
be STEPPED in bright tin or eaTtbenware;
strain nicely, and then add three drops
Of laudanum; bottle it tight and keep
in cool place, then use it as wash,
letting some of it get in the eyes. Follow
this, and relief is certain. If the eyes
are painful or much sore, make small
soft congresses, wet in the mixture, and
bind over the eyes at night. can war
rant the above as harmless and sure,
having tried it in a number of cases
where other skill and remedies have
utterly failed. If the eyes are badly
inhamed use it freely; and tea made
of elder flowers, and drunk, would help
cleanse the blood. Pure rock salt and
water will strengthen your eyes if you
bathe them daily init. I would earnestly
advise you to avoid mixtures or washes
containing mineral or other poisons.

A philosopher hath said that true
education for boys is to teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men"
What is i; they ought to know.
tbeny
lst. TO he sure--to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man bad
better not know how to read--he had
better never learn letter in the al
phabet and be true and genuine in in
tention and in action, rather than.
being learned in all sciences and all
languages, to he at the same time
false in heart and counterfeit in life.
Above all things, teach the boys
that Truth is more than riches, more
than culture. more than any earthly
power or position.
2d. To ne pure in thought, lam

body. An impure man. young or
