His Sight Failed

An appallmg prospect for anyone to iacc is that of losing the uso of the eyes. A wxiter in the Albany Press relates the remarkable expericnce of oue of his friends. On returning home froni business, he put his glasses in his pocket and lay down for a nap. When he went to dinner ho found, to his great alarm, that he could not read a letter which his daughter handcd to him. Ho washed his cycs with a sponge and warm water, but to no purpose. For ycars his lcft eyo had been comparatively useless, and now that his riffht eye was apparently affected., the prospect was dcpressing Ile retired to his room at once, with a sinking heart. Probably ho could not even see to writc. He feit in his pocket, the pocket whero he carried tho now useless eyeglasscs, for a lead pencil. His fingers touched something' which sent a thrill of joy through him. His sudden blindness was explained. He had found the pebble out of the right eye of his glasses.
