When we are obliged to remove small "i? objects to a considerable distanco from the eye in order to see them distinctly*. 2.

"Wlion tjie letters of a book run one into the other, and liencc appear double or treble. &. 5. If the-eyes arc so fatigued by a little 'exercise that we are obliged to shut them from time to time, and relievo them by looking at other objects, and especially daik ones. "When all the circumstances occur, or any of them separately take place, it will be necessary to sock assistance from glasses which will now ease the c3'cs, and in somo degree check their tendency to grow flatter; whereas, if they be not assisted, in time the flatness will be considerably increased by the effort the ej'cs are compelled to exert, j In every part of the world tliere are , persons who sell spectacles as part of tbeir , trade, who have neither a knowledge of' the anatomy of the eye nor the nature of j optical glasses, so that it is no wonder so . much injury is done. Thousands have to j lament that ever they made use of glasses." The above is from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, communicated by an optician, and is useful information. The best method of selecting glasses by those who require them is not given ; a few words of caution on this head would . Iijivp IiPPli vulnnlilo lot tic nrl/1 (Iinm Wlien about to select a pair of specta- ] cles, let a book of rather small but clear j print be used, and such glasses bo chosen j as will enable it to bo read at the same dis- ; tance and with the same ease as before the eyes were impaired. This is the only safe rnle. No person can selee.l a pair of spectacles for another. A pair that will cause the least pain or uneasiness to the eye in reading should at once be rejected. Some dealers in spectacles recommend persons w'shing to purchase, to take glasses that are better fitted for older persons, and use the argument, " they \ will last longer,' meaning thereby, that be- ! cause the wearer must grow older, they ' will serve him for a greater number of years. | The selection of such a pair of spectacles j will soon make the vision older. It is bet- j 'ter to select a pair adapted for a person ; rather younger than one who is older. Another thing to be attended to in look- 1 ing for spcctaclcs is to ascertain whether ' the eyes are mates. It is not unusual to ; find an inequality in the eves of individuals. Watchmakers and engravers who use a ' magnifying glass usually with one eye, are frequently obliged to wear spectacles with ? a glass of different focus for each eye. In order to ascertain this, place the book at the distance at which the print is seen : clearly with both eyes at once; then, with- ' out moving the hoad or the book, look with ! each eye alternately. If the eyes be mates* the print will be sen equally well with each. If the eyes are alike, tlven prove the glasses of the spectacles in the same way. II aving fotiiul the correct focus, observe it a~i i * e? *? * ? JI iuu uu jiiuo unu nets iruill SCHllCUCS and veins, or defects of any kind. This : can lie done by holding them from you to- ' wards a lamp or the window, when any such defect will he clearly seen. The frames or bows of the spectacles should be light and elastic; silver and gold ' frames are the best. They Bhould so fit on | the face that the ciiia or eye lashes will not; touch the glasses; and they should set i ' straight before the eyes, not down on the , nose. The foregoing -observation, may be sufficient to enable persons in want of spectacles to make a correct choice; but it will always be most Kllfo t?? ?lio mn-Jmon !x ?? I son of ail experienced optician. Those who wish to purchase colored glasses for tender or diseased eyes, or to wear in journeys, exposed to a hot sun on sandy plain*, or in exposure to snow and bright sunshine, to protect the eyes from, exxves&iwi light, should select none but v those of * green color. Blue glasses are more mischievous than useful, because they abcorb different parts of the spectrum unequally* and transmit the extreme violet And blue rays. Green glasses absorb the extreme violet and. blue rays, and transmit the red ray, producing a shorter spectrum and a more distinct image on the retina of the eye. We have glasses of various kinds, telescopes, and microscopes, to render objects distinct during a faint light, or in what St termed darknet?. Now as there tire various animals and fowls?cats and curls?that can tee about as well, if not better, during"eight than day, why may not a pair of sipectaotea, or some kinds of glaaues, be invented to give man the same powers of nightly-vision.

' '* ' ' V ' > , , ' | CHARACTER BETTER THAN CREDIT. . ; I We often licar young men who have final! moans, dolefully contrasting their lot with tiia^if rich in en's sons. Yet tlic longer we 1 live, the more wo are convinced that the old ' merchant wns right, who sni?l to us when i we began life, " industry, my hul, is better than ingots of gold, and character more valuable than credit." We could furnish, if l need were, from our own experience, n score of illustrations to prove the truth of his remark*. In all branches of business, in all avocations, character, in the long run, is the I bust capital. Says Poor Richard : The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or nine at nisrlit. heard bv a creditor. makes liim easy six mouths longer ; but if ; lie sees you at a billiard table, or bears your voicc at a tavern, wlien you should be at work, lie sends for his money I he next day. What is true of the young mechanic, is true also of the young merchant, or the young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms will not long continue to give credit for thousands of dollars when they see the purchaser, if a young man, driving fast horses or hanging around drinking saloons. Cli\ cuts will not intrust their case to those advocates, however, brilliant, who frequent the card table, this wino nnrli* m* lli<? iuro frmwin It is butler, in beginning life, lo secure a reputation for industry and probity, than to own bouses and lands, if with them you have no character. A facility of obtaining credit at the outset is often an injury instead of a benefit.? It makes the young beginner too venturesome, fills him with dreams of too early fortune, tempts him too much to neglect hard work, forethought, caution and economy.? j Kxccssive capital is as frequently a snare to j young men. It has almost passed into a ; imiwrli. ill rnnsnninuwo ll><> B?na ?-.f! i - ' --- - I -? - " licit men never make good business meilr? To succeed in life we must learn the value of money. Hut a superfluity of means at the outset is nearly a certain method of rendering us insensible to its value. No man ever grew rich who had not learned and practiced the adage, "if you take care of the pennies the dollars will take care of themselves." Knowledge of men, self-discipline, a thorough mastery of our pursuit, and other qualifications, which all persons of experience look for, arc necessary to give the world security that a young man is of the right metal. Capital may be lost, but character never. Credit once gone, the man without character falls. But he who has earned a reputation for capacity, integrity and economy, even if he loses his capital, returns his credit, and rises triumphant over bankruptcy itself. A man with character can never be ruined, 'it is the first thing that a young man should seek to secure; and it may be had by every one who desires it in earnest. A poor boy with character, is more fortunate by far than a rich man's son without it. JAndlvy Murray.?it is not generally known that this " Prince of English grammarians" was an American, and born within the present limits of Lebanon county, Pennsylvania. lie was born in the year 1745, 011 the SwiUara, in East Hanover township, then Lancaster, now Lincoln county. Ilis father was a miller, and fol iuwuu in.-ii occupation wnen JLdiiuiey was bom, but afterwards devoted bis attention to mercantile pursuits, and amassed a considerable fortune by trading to tlie West Indies. Lindley was the oldest of twelve children, and when about seven )*enrs of ago, was sent to Philadelphia, that he might have the benefit of a better education than could he had at Swatara. lie studied law in New York, and at the age of twenty-two was called to the bar, where he gained for himself the reputation of an "honest lawyer." His "Grammar of the English Language" was composed in England in 1704, and published in the spring of 1795. Curious iJlscovcry.?Tiic Central Texan learns from a gentleman near Naviseto, that while he was cutting down a t/ee near that place, he made a most remarkable discovery. lie cut down a very large cotton wood with a hollow in it, and an aperture from I lie outside some six feet above tile ground. Upon splitting open the tree, the hollow was found to contain an Indian,3 skeleton, which was perfect, not a bone missing.? The conjecture is, tliat at some time or other the Indian got into this hollow tree to make his escape from some enemy or wild animal, and was unable to get out again, and so perished. Life in the Snow.?A letter from Halifax county, Yirgiuia, gives an incident of llic "great" snow storm not before published : A pig at Mrs. Goodman's was buried in a snow drift 11 days, and came out alive and well ; and at Capl. John Hughes', a peafowl was tucked in under the snow for 1*? days. When taken out, the fowl appeared to have suffered no injury, and was only a little hungry. Vina Voce.?A green number of the Nebraska Logidlnture, when the election of the Assistant Clerk ?ame up, called out, " Mr. Speaker, X move we vote vice versa." The whole house burst into a roar, and not knowing what it meant, greeny asked his Jt t. x I 3 " - ngiu uHiia man u it was oat i? ordor, adding that be didn't know anything about these d?d parliamentary rules 1 4IM?
