matcly followed. Dr. B. was called to ex-
amine a gentleinzm wiio had always enjoyed
excellent sight until it was lost in a moment.
The patient had been at a party of friends,
when a person stepped suddenly behind him,
and covering both eyes with the hands,
wished him to guess who it was. The former,
without speaking a word, endeavored to
escape from the pressure, and when the
eye-lids were opened he was totally bereft
of sight. Although there was not the least
appearance of injury, yet the suiferer re-
mained hopelessly blind. From this melan-
choly example, Dr. B. ‘ “ that the
eyes are liable to injury even from moderate
pressure.
There is a popular notion, sanctified even
by medical men, who ought to know better,
that eyes are preserved by opening them
every morning in a basin of cold water.
Some of the worst cases of pterygium, or
him on the surface of the eye, have been wit-
nessed in those who boasted of this practice.
VVhen adrop of water gets into the wind-
pipe, the nostril, or the ear, irritation is pro-
duced, and when the eye is opened under
water, the sensation is anything but agreea-
ble. The eye is lubricated by a secretion
admirably adapted to facilitate the motions
of the lid over its surface, and as this secre-
tion is partially solubie in water, it is as in-
consistent with common sense to wash it
away, as it is to remove the oil from the
wheelslof machinery.
‘Vhen the general health is robust, it is
astonishing what an amount of labor the
organ of vision will endure; yet when it is
depressed, especially by mental disturbance,
during a periodical function, they are easily
disturbed by too close application to busi-
ness. lViien they have become weak, niucii
for their pieservation depends on the proper
management of the light to which they are
exposed. “'hen the light is in excess, it
should be diminished, and when it is de-
ficient, labor should be discontinued. The
light of the blue sky and the verdure of the
fields are the colors to which it will endure
with most ease. The flame of a good oil
lamp is more regular than gas or candles,
and is therefore preferable. The intermit-
tent ilickering of gas is particularly injuri-
ous, and it produces constant contractions
and dilations of the pupil and undue exer-
cise of the whole organ. By placing a shade
of light blue tissue paper over the lamp, the
light is ameliorated; for artificial light con-
tains a superabundaiice of the yellow and
the red rays, but is deficient in the violet
By allowing it to pass through the bluish
medium it approaches nearer to the light of
day, and is better adapted for continued ap-
plication of the organs of vision.
The gist of the whole matter is just this:
let your eyes alone, and they may serve you
all your days; should they become out of
order, apply to that very important person-
nge,your family physician, and he will in-
struct you how to “ mind your eyes."
llienrirvo is negro on the road with crape

“"You have lost some of your relatives, I

“ Yes, massa.”
“ Was it near, or distant ? ”
“ Yes, putty distant; ‘bout twenty-four
miles,” was the reply.

PEACE.-Like the rainbow, Peace rests
