Miltorrg blindtiess was tho result of over-work and dyspepsia, One of tho most eminent American divines, bario g for sometiine been compelled to forego the p'.easure oí readiog, spent thousand6 of dollars in value and lost years ot time in consequente of getting up sevcral hours before daylight and stndyiug by artificial liglit. Ilis eyes Dcver got well. Multitudes of men and women hava made their eyes weak for lile hy the too free use of the eyesight, readiug small print and doing fine cewing. In view of these things, it is well to observe the following rules in the use of the eyes : Avoid all sudden changes betwoen liglit and darkness. Nover read by twilight or moonlight or on a very cloudy day . Never sleep po tht on waking the eyes sball open on the liglit of a window. Do not uso the eyesight by light so ucnut that it takes an elfort to discrinilnate. Never read or sew directly in front of tho lit;ht, or window,or door. It is best to have the light fall from abovc, obliquely over the eft shoulder Too much linht creates a glaro anc pain, and con funes tho sight. Tho mo nici.t you are sensible of an effort to distioguisb, that moment cease, ant ta'.k, walk, or ride. As the sky is b!ue and the earth green it would seein thut tho ceiling shoult be a bliieish tinge, tho carpet groen, and the walls of some mcllow tint. Tho inoraont you are instinctivel' prompted to rub the eyes, thut moinen cense using them. If the eyelida are plned together o waking up, do not forcibly open theui, but spply iho saliva wilh tho fingor - it is the epeediest diluent in the world - and then waeh jour eyeg and face in warm water.
