A Cause of Near-sightedness- t There is one defect of the eye, result s ing largelY from its improper use in the school -room, which, inrhke nervous weakness, collies so insidiously upon it 1 -as to be ahnost imperceptible until it has passed beyond the possibility of cure. e Many chilibam in the pub C axe li schools k constantly becoming . near - sighted ser through the inexcusable negligence of teachers to insist upon the observance of '- the proper distance of the eye from the s 1 adaptation to variation in dista•nee, and henceforth-only near .objects will be dis- tinctlY seen.. It is not easy to modify what seems to be a constitutional ten- dency -in children. Vigilance and per- severanee on the part of teachers, if not entireay successful in the prevention of this evil, will be produotive •of f immense good. Efforts to counteract the ten- dency to near-sightedness may be con- siderably aided by a permanent vertical line plabed eonspicuouslyslon tlie black- boarcl, representanp, the }roper distance of the eye from the page:F, He who has suffered the inconveniences of this defect in vision, resulbin iron]: .rnprOper use of his eyes in Sch0Q1 da s, '11 not need to be urged to save future en and women from similarmisfortune. B. C. Delano, in Science of The Drought in Ne England. For sin months the eople of the Eastern States have been complaining of want of rain. Mills h ve been com- pelled to shorten workinn hours, farm- ers have been put to mute] extra labor to obtain water for their took, and in maoy towns water has be n sold by.the barrel. •Oue farmer, in N w Hampshire, it is said, has 500 barrels f cider, but no . water; and in another to vu a farmer's house took. fire and the ames were ex- tinguished by throwing cider upon them, water not being obtainable. The Bos- ton Herald is inclined to blame the peo- ple for this lacln It says "In the last eentitry New England was pretty. well covered_ with trees, and the rain that fell soaked into the ground, ran slowly... down the valleys and finally reached the ocean. Now the land is stripped of trees; the lulls, and naountain regions, even, where the sources of our rivers are, have been bared to the scorching rays of the sun, and nearly two-thirds of the rain that falls evaPorates before it reaches the sea -board. This has dried up the streams into brooks. This, too, by causing the sudden departure of the snows in spring, causes many destruc- tive freshets. lu the thickMaine woods the gradual melting of the snow lasts for weeks and keep the rivers at a high ,pitch, while the streams whose head waters flow from a country stripped of trees rise and fall with the suddenness of mountain brooks after a shower. The reckless improvidence, due to cupidity, * and carelessness, which has made so - much of otir territory a hideous apanse- of ragged, rocky, worthless fields, is the cause of our droughts. Improvidence must bear the blame, not Providence!' with. trains in Motion, moved. bY a mini- . ature engine.

There will be several small engines to run the wells, drills, railroad trains and refinery. _ This ingenious contrivance is constructed in sections, and can be easily taken apart for tra,nsportation. 0-44;--- - Old, but yet Ne. Aporrespondent of the New Engla,nd Farmer communicates the following ex-- tract from an old almanac of 1829; 'Let every operation connected. with the well - Mpg of ycfur domestic animals go on with as much regularity as a longitude • chronometer.

An Aiterican paper says ; "One of the most reMarkable characters has just passed away at Williamstown, Mass., in the death of a, negro named Abram. Par- sons, or 'Abe Bunter,' as he was known to everybody acquainted with the town. Abe's popular title was deseriptive, and grew out of his ram -like or bunting pro- pensities,. bunting' being his readiest and Most effective method of defense. His thickness of skull, evert for one of his race, was simply astounding: -He would split heavy plank w ith his head in the way of business, Or foi= the a,muse, moat of any one willing to pay a quarter for such fun, or would utterly discomfit and rout an adversa,ry by launching him- self bodily and irresistiblyat his stomach.

There may be seen. daily, on Chestnut street, says the Philadelphia :Bulletin", a man dressed in faultless apparel, with a great diamond upon his 'breast, vainly endeavoring to outglitter the magnificent solitaire ou his finger. Ina German University he learned chemistey, and not even Liebig knows it better. His occupation is the mixing and- the aalul- teration of liquors. . Give him a dozen casks of deodorized alcohol, and the next day each df them will represent the name of a gennine wine. or a popular spirit.

The oil of cognac, the sulphuric acid, and other articles that give -fire and body to the liquid poison, are always kept in store. The mixer buys these things in various quarters.

It .says dark- night, not long ago, a burglar entered a -private resieence on Broadway. On ascending one Hight of .stairs he ob- served a light in a chamber, and while deliberating what to do, a large :woman suddenly descended upon him, and seized. him by _the throat, pushed him down. hrougli the hall, and forcedlim into the treet before he - had tiine to. think.
