Deterioration OF Sight.

The causes TO which this deterioration
of eyesight has been attributed are al.
legged to be cross.lights from opposite
windows. light shining directly on the
face, insufficient light, small types, and
to the position Of the desk, forcing the
scholar to bend over and bring the eyes
too close TO the book or writing paper,
ETC. But we're all these defects rcmedied,
the integrity Of the eye would not be re-
stored nor the deterioration prevented.
There are the colors Of the paper aud
ink. White paper and black ink are
running til, eycsighl Of all reading ma
tious. The rays Of the SUM-" says Lord
Bacon, care reflected by q white body,
and are absorbed by black one" No
ono dissents from this opinions but, de-
spite these indications of nal':rc and Of
philosophy, we print our books and write
our letters in direct opposition to the
suggestions Of optical science.
When We read book printed in the
existing mode we do not see the letters,
which, being black, are non reflective.
The shapes reach the rctina, but they are
not received by spontaneous, direct ac-
tion Of that organ. The white surface
Of the paper is reflected, but the letters
are detected only by discriminatiye
effort Of the optic nerves. This effort
annoys the nerves, and, when long con
tinued, cxhausts their susceptibility the
human eye cannot long sustain the broad
glare Of white surface without injury.
The author Of Spanish Vistas, in liar.
per's Magazine, says Of Carthagena that
blind people seem to be numerous there,
lsc: which may be owing to the cxcesa-
i've dazzle Of the sunlight and the all.
sence of verdure." Mr.. Seward, in his
tour around the world, observed that "in
Egypt ophthalnia is universal" attribut.
ing it to the same excessive dazzle" Of
the vide areas Of white sand; and the
British soldiers in the late campaign in
that country exhibited symptoms of tho
same disease. In the Smithsonian Re.
port for 1877 it is stated in paper on
"Color- blindness" that IN. Cheyrcul
has produced l4,420 distinguishable tints
of the elementary colors, from which the
paper manufacturers could select colors
more agreeable to the eye than the daz
zling white, 30 weakening and lacernting
to the nerves Of that delicate organ."-

Marrying in Fun.

a decision adverse TO the lady in the
case was given in Via, is known as the
Flatbush kissing case at New Utrecht, J..
l., Saturday, by Justice Ferguson, before
whom Miss Annie IIigbie had brought,
an action for abandonment agnat Walter
Vaughan. Both parties to the action
are still i'll their teens, and the case has
gained considerable no.oriety from the
somewhat novel character Of the evidence
by which the young lady sought TO estab
lish her claim TO personal ownership in
the defendant. y number Of very Young
women aud very young men amused
themselves at a church sociable in Flat
bush one evening by getting one OF their
number TO assume the role Of q minister
and to perform q mock marriage ccrc
mony for n number of the youthfu
couple. Miss ITigbic and Waller
Vaughan were among those who wen,
through the ceremony. and though all
the evidence showed that the whole af
fair was purely matter Of sport on al
sides, and was thoroughly remote from
even scmblancc of contract, Miss
lligbic, after reflection, and perhaps con
sultation with some other persons, claimed
that the marriage was real one, and
sued the delinquent Master Vaughan for
abandonment. 4 case like Ills has IL;
humorous side, but it is not without lis
graver features. i, shows the necessity
for the exercise of greater care on the
part Of parents and guardians than they
are accustomed to bcstow upon their
natural or legal wards, and the import.
ance of cultivating more formality in the
relations of young people. The Flatbush
affair shows that Familiarity may no., only
give rise to contempt, but may be the
cause of lawsuits that may give unpleas-
ant publicity to all parties, and may
cast shadow on the lives and reputa.
tions of those concerned.

An, excellent story Is told about 4
young man whose attentions to young

propinquity. Suddenly the rides ceased,
ana the young fsllowlwaa asked the rea,

ajackass and that he would not ask any
girl to ride with hin after that. The
lady's friends were shocked and asked for
particulars. This was his explanation !:

.Fit- SMALL Accounts are no harder to
pay with small crops, than full Accounts
are with full crops. This being true, col
lections up to this time have been fine,
and to those who have so promptly
''SdeUANED' up with me have my
thanks, and to those who have rot are
URGED to do SO !AT ONCE, as l
greatly need Tie money to pay my debts
with.
Come along with your Cotton or Money,
and if you owe anything pay il, or if you
want to trade have a large Stock of Goods

Respectfully, &C.,
J. J. BAKER.
