The Minister'S Horse.

An intelligent foreigner, visiting New
England 100 years ago, would have no
tlced two prominent traits as character
ling the people. One was singleness
OF purpose, the other was the resolute-
ness with which everything interfering
with the attainment of that purpose was
put aside. 9.e ,,..v av.s,1 ~.

every weight, and did one thing. @- p
An anecdote of an old-time minister
illustrates how these two traits gave
character to the religious life. fo@a
Rev. Noah Benedict was one of three
pastors whose united service in the
church at Woodbury., Ct., covered the
long period of $50 years. He was a good
man, had high rank as preacher, and,
next to his pulpit and family, loved a
first-rate horse. g. '.r=ass55
But his pulpit was his first love, and
everything which was likely to tempt
him to withdraw his mind from that was
put out of the way -~9@ t,~ rse
He had young horse, sound, gentle,
graceful and fast. Everybody in; the
parish admired the minister's horse.
But one day, to the surprise Of his
friends, Mr.. Benedict sold his favorite.
One of his astonished neighbors asked
the reason. eng IN 1870 .<' "

nothing to interfere with his purpose OF
life. If any of our readers would under

Protecting the Rear.

In one of the public schools Of San
Francisco, a youth bubbling over with
high spirits violated q long established
rule, and was summoned to the bar of
Judgment. With many sobs and tears
he confessed the soft impeachment
Have your mother call tomorrow, !" the
teacher remarked, with awful and omin-
GUS significance. His maternal ancestor
appeared on the following day, and, after
being duly and publicly informed Of the
fragrant breach of discipline herEson had
been guilty of, was requested to say if
she would punish him herself, or have
the teacher attend to the matter. She
preferred the latter course, and urged
that the blows be well laid on. The
next day was appointed for the fagella-
ton. At the usual hour for such un-
pleasant affairs the youth was sum-
moned to the front. = He came with a
hang-dog look and some trepidation.

dered to extend his hand beneath an up
raised ruler. He refused, and, in ac-
cordance with the usual custom in such
cases, was spread across the teachers
knees, and the punishment was admin
istered in another quarter than the one
originally intended. For some unex-
plainable reason the most energetic
blows fell without the desired effect. A
consultation of male teachers ensued,
and the offender was conducted to a
private room, and his wardrobe subjected
to rigid examination. On the interior

The office door was opened and imme-

sons attention but, when this was done
again and again and again, you could
see by the rose hue In his face that he
had finally noticed it. The next time
the door opened, the small boy who
opened it was surprised by the warm
embrace that Smithson bestowed on him.
:" What do you mean, you young ras-

remarks by vigorous shaHngs of the

morning sun was shining brightly, cast

: PulaOli, having satisfied himself of tho
superior speed and command Of his
horse over that Of his pursuer, slack
ened his pace and kept his horse to the
side of the lane farthest from the sun.
The pursuing officer came up in hot
haste, his sword elevated so as to make
the decisive cut upon Pulaski as soon as
he could reach him. Pulaski rode as

upon the ground on the side of his horse

he saw the shadow of his pursuer's horse

horses head, by the shadow, had gained
about half the length of his own horses

Wall Street. New York.

Across the island of New York, in
1866, a wall made of stone and earth,
and cannon mounted, was built to keep
off the savages. Along by that wall a
street was laid out, and, as the street
followed the line of the wall, it was APP
propriately called Wall street. It is
narrow, it is short; it is unarchitectural
and yet its history is unique. Except
ing Lombard street, London, it is the
mightiest street on this planet. There
the Government of the United States
was born. There Washington held his
levees. There Mrs. Adams and Caldwell,
and Knox, and other brilliant women of
the Revolution displayed their charms.
There Witherspoon and Jonathan Ed
wards and George Whitefeld sometimes
preached. There Dr.. Mason chided
Alexander Hamilton for writing the
Constitution of the United States with
out any God in it. There negroes were
sold in the slave mart. There criminals
were harnessed to wheelbarrows, and,
like beasts of burden, compelled to draw,
or we're dashed through the street be-
hind carts to which they were fastened.
There fortunes have come to coronation
or burial, since the day when reckless
Spectators, in powdered hair and silver
shoe-buckles, lodged Dugan, the Gov
ernor General of his Majesty, clear
down to yesterday at 3 o'clock.
The history Of Wall street is to GER
tain extent the financial, commercial,
agricultural. mining, literary, artistic,
moral, and religious history of this coun-
try. Only few blocks long, it has
reached from the Canadas to the Gulf of
Mexico, from San Francisco to Bangor.

The Orange Tree.

. The orange tree is the longest-lived
fruit tree known. It is reputed to have
attained the age Of 800 years, and been
known to flourish and bear fruit more
than 100 years. No fruit tree Will sus-
tain itself and produce fruit SO well under
neglect and rough treatment. It begins
to bear about the third year after bud
ding, and by the fifth year produces an
abundant crop, though the yield is
gradually increased by age and
favorable circumstances. The early
growth of the orange is rapid, and by its
tenth year it has grown more than it will
In the next fifty, SO far as its breadth
and height are concerned; but it is age

Color.BlindHsss..

There is no human inirAity more Gu
rious than is blindness and
scarcely any other about which so little
IS known. The oldest thing about it,
perhaps, is that it is not certain, or even
likely, that the person who is afflicted
with color-blindness is aware Of the
defect.
Color blindness is an inability to- dis
tinguish colors. Those who are wholly
color blind can see no more than the
forms of things but cases of total alb
sence Of the power to perceive color
are very rare. In most persons who
are lacking in this respect, the infirmity
extends only to certain colors. One
man cannot perceive red color; an
other green; another blue, and so on.
This partial color blindness is not un-
common. Examinations by experts
seem to show that about one in every
twenty men is defective in the percep-
ton of color; and it is asserted that the
defect is not so common in women as in
men. >'7"t
Probably not fifty readers of this pa
per are conscious that they are color
blind. Yet, if oculists are correct, and
four or five in every 100 persons are de-
6cient in this respect, the defect assumes
proportions that command attention, for
the reason that there are many occupa-
lions in whicha quick and accurate per-
ception Of color is necessary. The lack of
it may render success impossible.
There are many wayse of testing the
eye, to find out if it is color-blind. The
best is, to put in the hands Of person,
worsted, Of various colors, and ask him
to separate the pieces into red, blue,
green and other colors ;and then tosnade
them from light to dark. A man who
is color-blind will usually make q mis-
take in asserting the colors, in the first
four or five pieces given him for exam
ination.
Another test is tossee if person can
read red letters printed on "a black
ground A third. is to cover blue
sheet, printed with black letters, with
thin white tissue paper. TO the perfect
vision, the letters will appear yellowish
brown. If they are black letters printed
on a red sheet, they will appear green
under the paper. < H. *-~s' III a.
The causes, of color blindness have
been sought by scientific men. and very
plausible theories have been formed
with regard to them, which we have not
space to give. .-
The defect is incurable. A person
who does not know colors can never be
taught them, and there is no operation
or Instrument that will remedy the de-
fect.-Youth's Companion. ~ -t's.
