Ailments Of the Eyes.

No organ OF the body is liable to a
greater variety OF ailments than the
eye. More than forty such diseases
are enumerated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blind
ness, partial or complete. Some are
highly contagious. Some are peculiar
to the earliest stages OF infancy; some
to old age. Some are due to other
diseases; some originate with the eye
itself; some are the results of external
wounds. Some are brought on by the
improper use OF the eye; some by the
abuse OF other organs. Some are par
TALLY or wholly durable; others are
not.
AS we have two eyes. the loss OF one
does not materially affect the other.
The double provision is a wise and be-
nevolent one in the case OF an organ
exposed to SO many accidents from
without and SO many diseases from
within. -Youth's Companion.

The cigar stump ceased speaking.
and was wondering at his strange re-
marks. when. with an oath and a
splash. man fell into our midst and
threw me with great violence on his
back. soon became composed. how
ever and began at once to view my
change OF scene. | noticed that the
mans clothing was coarse threadbare
and dirty; that his hair was long.
matted and unclean; that his trousers
were ragged and greasy. and that his
shoes were rusty and full OF holes.
The cigar stump nestled under one OF
his arms; the cork shoppers wabbled
about his face; the struggling guilds OF
tobacco found lodging in his hair and
cheese pairing chung behind one OF
his ears
This is strange. said to myself
is this man, too, l soliloquized a
castaway? Has he answered the pur-
pose OF some ones qualification, and
when he became OF no further use.
has he been cast of? Whose work
was this? Did the man. of his own

Did others help him to itp Or did
some other power far beyond my
