The members OF the Legislature
who have just been elected will con-
yene in Richmond shortly. Many OF
the newly elected members are young
men and a number OF those who.have
served one term are also young men.
Young men are apt to think that in
order to earn their salaries, make a
reputation for themselves and please
their constituents it is necessary for
them to father some legislation.
There never was a greater mistake,
for as matter OF fact the sins OF
omission are very much more easily
explained and very much more read
lily overlooked by aconstituency than
the sins OF commission, and as we
have about as many statutes on our
statute books now as We can well
take care OF and very little need for
any legislation at all. There are
very few instances where a member
OF the Legislature about to convene
can safely launch any legislation for
which he will be responsible. A great
deal more OF gratitude and thanks
win be the portion OF the man who
blocks needless legislation than OF
those who succeed in encumbering
our statute books with legislation
which is not really necessary. OF
course there are some exceptions to
this rule. The old Confederate sol
diers ought to have a lift. Their
pensions ought to be $40 instead OF
$50 per annum for total disability,
and the roads ought to have some
attention from the Legislature
this session looking to their perma-
nent improvement. There are other
exceptions, OF course, but they are
not 80 numerous that they cannot
be counted on your ten fingers. Our
advice to the young legislator is that
he steer clear OF the legislation fever
which has ended the political career
OF so many aspiring youngsters.

Sight is Gods best gift to man. The other senses amount to nothing in comparison. We get along very we'll without taste, smell, hearing, feeling; but when the eyes are dead the soul has no window. The light of life is gone. Exercise your eyes. Hold your head still, as if in wise, or one of the steel crotches of the old-fashioned photographer (when it took three minutes to take a pie ture), and roll your optics around. Look in every direction-up, down, to the right, to the left, and every style of the obEque-without nov ing the head All the nerves, veins and arteries will be strengthened. The muscles will be improved a thousandfold. The lachrymal glands will be excited sufficiently to wash the ball perfectly, and seeing will be a delight. Goodby to glasses.
