| beg you TO strike sails, to lower
mast and right about, come back tu
the home you are making sad and
desolate, and TO the hearts you are
wringing with anguish, and deter
mine with right noble resolve to be a
man, you over whose wayward couse
an aged father has sighed and fond
mother has wept. l appeal to you
young men because you are strong.
| appeal to you from the standpoint
of patriotism. You are the dover of
our land and the hope of our country.
You are soon to fill the positions of
honor and trust, your country needs
you, and l appeal to you on its be-
half because you are strong. | can
conceive of no prouder birth-right
than that of an American citizen.
Columbia, the noblest and grandest
country the sun shines on, and while
rank is not scofled at, yet there is no
land in which merit is more readily
recognized and amply rewarded, and
where simple rank without merit is
regarded as the Guinea's stamp and
"a mans man for a. that and for a.
that"
In this Gland of the free and home
of the brave" poverty and obscurity
can forge no chain strong enough
to bind an aspiring soul. Let us
rejoice that we live in land where
a poor illiterate boy driving a mule
on tow path can occupy the highest
position within the gift of this peo-
pie.
1t is by chip after chip that the

Your country calls upon you young
man to rise up in your manhood and
strength and cut away the parasites
that may be entwining themselves
around the noble tree of the grand
old republic.
And lastly | would appeal to you
on behalf of the church. The cause
of Christ needs you, dear friends, be-
cause you are strong. o what pow
er one man may be in community
for good. Talk about the paintings
of Raphael and Phldias, the statuary
Of Angelo and others, but the grand
est picture ever presented TO mortal
eye is to see young man giving his
talent and energy to the cause of
Christ.

NEAR.SIoHTED CHILDREN.
The Circumstances Which Tend to Induce
Myopic Vision.

Ahc NICumbthhCcS which lenu u 1nuuCg
Myopic Vision.
"Myopia, or near sight" says o
Pittsburgh physician, sis caused by
poor light, the improper direction of
it, STOPPING or dropping the head,
holding the eyes too near the object
and using them too continuously upon
print, writing, etc. could pile up
statistics to prove that education is the
cause of myopia, but every well-in-
formed layman knows it. But it is
not education particularly; it is the
vicious way in which it is acquired,
and it is plain that all the causes 1 have
enumerated may be removed by an in
telligent school board and thoughtful
teachers. One of the most pernicious
practices in some public schools, and
one calculated to develop more eye dis
eases than an army of oculists can
control, is that of requiring such vast
amount of writing of lessons by the
little ones. Writing in poor light is
worse than reading, because the paper
must lie upon the desk. which does not
slope enough, thus causing STOPPING
and bringing the eyes too near it. The
light falls upon it obliqucly, and is re-
flected in such a way that much of the
illumination is lost. Every letter must
be looked at as written, which is not the
case in reading. ..
The right SIDE is turned toward the
desk, and the paper is placed obliquely,
which causes tipping of the head to the
left and difference in the distance of
the two eyes from the point of the pen.
AS results, many children have differ
ent focus in each eye; one eye is used
for reading and the other turns out
ward; one shoulder becomes higher
than the other, the spine gets twisted
and curved, the chest is developed on one
side and is contracted on the other. and
other evils beside eye affections arise.
Myopia is the most common disorder
induced by close eye work, but very
many other diseases are brought on by
it, and any congenital defect, such as
far sight and irregular curvature of the
cornea and lens, is made apparent and
requires correction before the eyes can
be abused, as they are abused in our
public schools. You know now why
so many children wear glasses, and
why so many general practitioners are
putt ng out signs as oculists, but | must
tell you that rarely order glasses for
little folks. because in many cases these
tend to develop the very disease they
are expected to cure. 1t is a thousand
times better to relieve the eye strain by
rest and little medicine than to mount
pair of spectacles. " Pittsburgh

Three Cents Worth Of Gold,

Somebody who calls himself a
scientist has discovered that every
ton of sea-water contains three cents
worth Of gold. The bother is how to
get the gold out. In order TO get
enough to buy bottle of Browns
Iron Bitters, he would have to sort
over just thirty three and one-third
tons of the briny fluid. By that time
he would be so played out that the
contents of at least one bottle would
be necessary to restore him. But it is
a great restorer, and cures completely
dyspepsia, malaria, etc.

The New Industries Of a Week.

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record of August Ii says that as com
pared with the corresponding time
last year. the industrial activity of
the South is somewhat remarkable.
From the LIST of June to November
10, 1884, the weekly list ofnew enter
pfises organized in the South, as pub
lished i'll the Manufacturers Record,
was very short, occupying only from
column and half to three columns,
avaraging about two and half col
umns week. Since the 1st of June
this year this list has been running at
from four 10 six columns week, or
fully double the space occupied dur
ing the same month of 1884. Now
that large corn and cotton crops are
considered sure, arrangements are
being made for much greater ac-
tivity in the organization of new en-
terprises than has yet been seen. The
second week cf August shows up
with quite long list of important
industries just organized. In Ala
bama the rumor reported last week
of a flour mill to be built in Birming-
ham is confirmed by the purchase of
site for $4,000 mill, the full capi-
tai having been subscribed the CAL
era Land Co., the organization of
which, with a subscribed capital of
100000, was reported last week, it is
rumored will erect an iron furnace
and cotton seed oil mill; Hunts.
vile compress has been built; at
Calera barrel and stave factory and
a brick yard are to be established at
Georgiana another saw mill has been
put up; Jonesborough and Hance-
vile are receiving the machinery for
their new grist and saw mills, while
Montgomery has decided to spend
$2OO,0O0,nr as much thereof as may be
necessary, TO build water-works.
Florida reports $4,000 gas and cleo
trio light company organized at Or
lando a brick yard, saw and grist
