PERVERTED VISION.
A Ten.Year-O Old Girl Who Reads Printed
Matter INSIDE Down Only.

A very peculiar case of perverted vision
has been presented to DR.. f. W. Buckley,
an oculist of this city, writes York cor
respondent Of tho Philadelphia Press. A
little girl of ten years, the daughter OF one
of this city's most respected citizens, was
discovered by her school-teacher to DO un-
able to read her reading exercises unless
the book was held upside down. The
teacher, Miss Busser, Immediately COM
municated the fact to her parents and they
became very much worried.
The oculist was called IN and an exami-
nation made of the child's eyes. They
were found to DO entirely normal. The
only conclusion arrived at was that tho
strange freak of vision was the result OF a
habit of trying to read with the book
pages in an unnatural position, habit
contracted some years ago when the child
was first sent to school. At this time the
child in writing numbers upon o slate
always made them upside down, and as 1t
was never observed OF corrected she grad
ualiy Dir fled into the habit Of reading the
same way.
The only means of cure possible is to

The City of the Sea.

lFor tho Dispatch.l
There's n strange and olden legend
OF city of the sea;
Its spires and minarets and domes
Afar shone gorgeously;
And the white walls Of It's battements
To the sailor coming home,
Cleaned Ike the dipping sea-gulrs wing
Above the rising foam;
And princely merchants waited thence
Their heayy-laden fleets;
And merry throngs passed up and down
Upon its busy streets.
Thus at sunset stood the city
On It's island OF the sea,
But when AT morn the sun arose
And shone ont glOtOusly,
IL did not touch it's roofs nor wake
The dwellers from their sleep.
The island with its city fair
Had sunk beneath the deep.
Mono ever knew how IL went down,
The tale was never told.
Whore it mad stood for eyerm0re
The surginS waters rolled.
Long years passed, hut where that city
Went down beneath the sen,
The mariner steored his bark afar
And sped on tremblingly:
And often when the sunset hour
Was flushing al the SKIES,
He saw from out the distant deep
A silent city rise;
But nc'er before were walls 80 fair
known unto mortal ken,
And ne'er had been such noble spires
Built by the hands OF men.
And he saw the lOng-gone ships como In
To the city Of the sea,
But neer had shown such cleaning sails
In merchants argOsy;
And he saw the nsher-boats 20 out,
As m the olden time;
Then sweet and clear across the deep,
He heard the church-holls chime.
Theu the mariner told his beads and prayed
That The Holy one would save,
For the phantom city Of the sea
Had risen from the wave.
And has not many human heart
Its city OF the sea
Some hauntings Of a by-gone dream,
Some tender memory
That rises sometimes from tho deep,
That rolls DER vanished years,
BRIGHT with the light OF early smiles,
Undmmei by later tcarsl
And, like that city Of tho sea,
Tho vision dimly seen
IL far more fair than would tho lost
Reality have been.
