MISE WORDS.

The weakest and lowliesE persons ara
often instruments of great good.
When q man has no desire but to speak
plain truth he may say great deal in
narrow space.
Some peoples hearts are shrunk in
them like dried nuts. You can hear 'cm
rattle Is they walk.
Il argues poor opinion of ourselves
when we cannot admit any other class Of
merit beside our own, or any rival in that
class.
There Is IN all of us an impeachment to
perfect happiness; namely, WEAKNESS OF
the things which we possess and a desire
Tor the things that we have not.
e signifies little what we say OF our ac-
Quaintances, so that we do not tell them
what others say against them. Tale
bearers make all the real mischief.
Prosperity, they often say, is more try
Ing than adversely. AS with man, so it
j. with meat; in adverse weather it will
keep sweet for long time; but only let
there be long season of sunshine, and
see how quickly it goes to the bad.
That which we are we shall teach, not
voluntarily, but involuntarily. Thoughts
come into our minds by avenues which
We never left open, and thoughts 90
out Of our minds through avenues
which we never voluntarily opened
Character teaches over our head.
There is no subject or proposition that
should not be investigated by the mind.
Il It be of evil, investigation will deter
mine the fact and give us an opportunity
70 avoid ii; If 1t be of good, mental in
vcstigation will apprise us OF the fact
aud permit US to entertain or favor it.
Among the many arguments, while
others have been refnted, this alone re-
mains mistaken, that we ought to be-
ware of committing injustice rather than
Of being injured, and that above all o
man ought to study not to appear good,
but TO be 50, both publicly and private

A Blind Boz Given SIght.

an achievement of surgical science is
reported from the State Institution for
the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, at Romney,
Hampshire county. Henry McRea, blind
from his birth in 1870, was a pupil of
the institution from Pocahontas county,
and had been for the past three years
taking the same course, industrial and
literary, which is open to all the blind
boys of the school AT the recent meet
ing Of the board of regents of the insti-
tuition, the attention of DR.. j. r. L.
Hardesty, of this city, who is member
of the board. was attracted to the boy,
and after an examination he announced
his belisf that the boys eyes could be
operated upon 80 as to enable him to see.
He was affected with double congenital
cataract, and while his optic nerve was
unimpaired il was shut out from the rays
of light It was resolved that DIR. Har-
desty should undertake the operation.
A room was darkened and the operation
successfully performed with the most
gratifying success. The boys eyes were
opened, and the light being gradually
admitted to the room, he became accus-
toned to it by degrees, and in few DAYS

with as keen eyesight as any of them.
Young McRea had become 80 accustom-
cd to obtaining all his impressions of the
outside world by other senses that at
first his sight was Of no use to him. The
most familiar objects presented to his
eyes were not recognized. He did not
know key from book by the sense Of
sight alone until he became familiar with
the difference between the two objects.
With nearly mature mind his sense Of
sight was as uneducated and useless as
that of an infant when it first comes into
the world. At last accounts, however,
Henry was learning very rapidly how to
use his eyes. though still relying to .
large extent upon his senses Of touch.
