Miiltitmles of men aad women have made their eyes weak for life by the too
free use of the eye-.-ight, reading small
print and doing fine sewing. In view
of these things, it is well to observe the following rules ia the ase of the eyes : Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness.
Nerer becin to read or write or sew
for ."several minutes after coming from darkness to a bright light. Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or on a very elomly dnr. Nerer read or sew directly in front of the light or window or door. It is best to have the light fall from above obliquely over the left shoulder. Never sleep so that, on the first waking, the eyes shall open on the light of a window. Do not use the eye-sgh4 by light so scant t-Hat it requires an effort to discriminate. , , ,. Too nmch lighVcreaies a glare, and pains and confuses the sight. The moment you are "sensible of aa effert to distinguish, that moment cease and take a walk or ride. As the sky m Mae and the earth green, it would that the eeiKng should he a bluish tinge, and the oarpet green, aad the walk of some mellow tint. The moment you are prompted to rub the eyes, that moment cease neiag then.

This seemed to be a description or prophecy of the telegraph, as the localKies mentioned nre 40 leagues apart. The traveler was naturally skeptical, but some months later, on arriving at Chicken, he inquired, about the Akabsib, which means dark and mysterious writing. He was directed to it and found it contained 18 rooms. The slab on which the inscription was said to exist was at last discovered, and having beea carefully washed a wonderful revelation met hk eyes. They were in white on a black ground. e quote : Mn. Le llongeon stood by my ,-iide, studying the characters as they gradually appeared more ami more 'distinct. To our astonishment, we soon discovered the cord mentioned by Chable. It started from the mouth of a face (which represents the people of Saci), situated near the right hand upper corner of the slab, then runs through its whole length in a slanting direction, and terminates at the ear of another head (the inhabitants ef He). The inclined direction of the cord of line indicates the topographical position of the respective cities. Ssoi (Valladolid) being more elevated above the level, of sea than Ho (Mends). But imagine now our amazement at noticing the strange fact that the mode of communication that Chable ignored was by means of electric currents ! Yes, of electricity! This fact is plainly indicated by the four zigaag lines, representing the lightning, coming from the four cardinal points and converging toward a center near the upper or starting station, ami also by the solitary zigzag about the middle of the cord following its direction indicating a halfway fetation. Then the electric telegraph', that we consider the discovery par excellence of the nineteenth century, was known of the ancient I tut sages 5,000 or 10,000 years ago. Ah, Nihil novum ob solem! And in that slab we have a dewto the deciphering of the Maya"; inscriptions an American HoseUa stone." The writer refers his readers to a. photograph of the stone which he hasoy way of corroboration, but we fear that, even if veracious, his judgment isnot equal to his archaological enthusiast. His story U very interesting, whether true or fake. CiHcmrmti Gazette. i Mr. J. T. Fields relates of an aged Bostonian a very piquant little tory. The venerable gentleman had never read Shakspeare's plays, ami wa- advised to do so during the winter then approaching. In the sprinr the giver of the advice casually asked If he lutd read any of tin: plays. Yes, iie had read them all. "Do" you like them?" ventured (J., feeling his way anxiously to an opinion. "Like thenil" replied the old man, with elusive ardor; " that is not the word, sir! They are glorious, sir, far beyond my expectation! There are not twenty men in Ifosion, sir, who could have written those plays!"
