was accidentally discharged, the
dis charge striking full in the face
of John and deprivingE-him of the
sight of both eyes. He ls the
elder of the two boys. After q few
months suffering, during which
time everything that science and
money could do for him was done,
vainly, the boy became happy and
cheerful, and returned with renewed
avidity to his studies, which he
had always loved. After four or
five years at the Spartanburg

be gained the highest honcrs, even
becoming withal g good piano
