The Quiet Flow Of Tears.

The discharge of tears from the lachry-
NAL gland is not occasional and acct
dental, as is commonly supposed, but
continuous. It goes on both day and
night-though less abundantly at night
through the '.conduits, and spreads
equally over the surface of the pupil. in
virtue Of the incessant movement Of the
lids. After serving its purpose the flow
is carried away by two little drains sitti-
ated in that corner of each eye nearest
the nose-into which they run and
called the ..lachrymal points. The use
fulness Of this quiet flow of tears, to both
men and beasts, is manifest. There is
such an immense quantity of fine dust
floating in the air and constantly getting
in the eyes, that, but for it, they would
soon become chokcd. Very little is re-
quisite to keep the ball free, and when
some obnoxious substance smoke. an
insect or the like, that affects the nerves
docs make its way in, an increased
flow is poured out to sweep it away
