If the change could be made

North American Review. In a mill

men would take with them that
quality Of the household which
makes the Swiss soldier an admir-
able home guard; but not to be

warfare. In such O condition the
military motive in its dangerous
form would speedily die out; all
danger Of its leading to wars Of a
political nature could be left to the
ever-increasing development Of the
domestic spirit, that humor which
makes men very willing to

ItHl Fennimore, Of Farmingdale, had til,
misfortune TO lose the sight Of one eye, the
RESULT Of getting a hot cinder from the loco
motive In II, SAYS the New York Sun. Abou
a year aficrward, while working in mar
pit ct Lower SQuankum, he got smal
sharp pebble in the other eye. He was
taken to an inhrmary in New York, where
every effort was made to save the sight, but
no became totally blind.
/ Revolving in bis mind various projects for
the support OF his family, he determined to
try keeping country store. His friends
endeavored to dissuade him from the under
taking, but he was resolute and opened a
small store In Lower SQusnkum, three miles
from Earmingdale. He soon showed an a,,.
utude for the business and accomplished
things which seemed marvellous.
'His dwelling-houseis is over mile distant
from his store AL frat his little dauubta,.
regularly took him by the hand at mornir.
and evening and conducted him to and fro,
his occupation. A little later he said h.
could go alone, and has done so ever since
His method 10 TO count the steps from III
front Of his house to his ..ore, and he Iii
experienced no difficulty In reaching boz
In safety. He locks and unlocks the doc.
and opens and closes the shutters without
assistance. His son sweeps out and dusts
the store, but he expects soon to do this
without assistance
His sense Of touch and memory are Simply
wonderful. Every sort Of goods put up in
packages is SO arranged under his direction
that he can deal out any thing in his stock
that Is called for. This he does by counting
the steps from either end of the counter,
and the number Of shelves, beginning with
number one at the bottom, and enumerating
the dividing spaces from either end Of the
rows Of shelving.
He weighs accurately any thing from a
quarter Of pound Of tea to twenty-five
pounds Of -four, being guided by touch in
arranging the weights and the tipping Of
the scaies.
His memory of voices Is so sensitive that
be has never been known to make mistake

him was sent to the store. He was 4 fair
mimic, and endeavored to personate man
well known to Mr.. Fennimore. He signally
failed, the blind storekeeper interruptinp
