WHAT A • BLIND BOY .AC-
COMPLISHED-
BZ= MARY B. OLAFLI2r.
It was a glorious May mornipg, and the
old orchard in the valley at the foot of -the
Tennessee Mountains was shining with the
early dew. Everything seemed full of life
and hope and promise. The apple -blossoms
and the violets, the woody ferns, and a
thousand other flowers that had awakened
from a long winter's rest, poured forth their
delicious fragrance and sprinkled the green
earth with tonches'of brilliant color -pink
and blue and red and,,purple.
Buttercups and 'dandelions shone like
stars among the grass. The robins and the
blue -jays and the whippoorwills were all
settled for the summer. The robin's cheerful
song awoke the children in the morning,- and
the whippoorwill's. mournful plaint lulled
them to sleep at night.
It was on such a day, in such an orchard,
that a group of children, having finished
their lessons and thrown aside their books,
had gone out, with happy hearts and merry
voices, to hunt birds' nests, to gather wild
flowers, to play at football, and to climb the
trees in the old orchard, where it was their
custom to hold high carnival on the soft
green grass, in the shade of the pink and
white boughs, and in sight of many a tempt-
ing bird's nest and squirrel's hiding -place.
They were shouting as only happy coun-
try boys can shout; they were turning som-
ersaults, acid daring.each other to climb yet
higher in the trees, and to run yet faster on
the greensward ; and a jollier set of boys
could not be found in all that beautiful
Tennessee valley.
The little three-year-old pet, who had
been awakened from his noon slumbers by
the uproarious merriment of the older chil-
dren, came running toward them.
Some one broke a. branch of an acacia
tree, with its bright yellow blossoms, and
handedit to the baby; and he, full of glee,
ran to join his- brothers, and, running, he
stumbled, as babies will, .and fell on the
branch he had in his hand. A thorn on the
stem of the a cacia pierced his eye.
The merry laugh of the little fellow was
quickly changed into a bitter cry, and the
children, dropping their bats and balls, ran
to comfort him. He was taken to his' mo-
ther, and every voice was hushed and all
thought of play forgotten, and the baby's
plaintive moan was all that could'be heard.
Long days of suffering followed, and, as
the inflammation- in the wounded eye`in-
creased and extended to the other eye, hope
grew less and less each day. Day after clay
dragged on, and the whole life of the old
farm house was changed. -
The father was broken-hearted, the mo -
her went about sad and silent, the older
children were softened and subdued, and
they vied with each other in trying to com-
ort and cheer the baby boy, whose eyes
ere now forever closed upon the, beautiful
hings which had filled his heart with joy:
s sight was fading and darkness shutting
n around him, and the family realized the
d truth that nothing more could be done,
he first thought of everyone was to minis -
r to little Joseph.
He was the centre of every interest, and
all plans' were made with reference to his
infest. His physical health was robust,
and he soon developed the instincts of an
tive, healthy boy.
He entered into all the pastimes and
elks of his older brothers, with as much
st and pleasure as if he could see as well
they. But with his physical develop-
ent came a mental activity which made
m long for schools and books, and for the
cupations as well as the pastithes of his
others.
Joseph said in after years, " I cannot tell
u anything approaching the anguish of
ose long weary days when my - brothers
re in school- Long before the time for
eir return I would wander far on the way
school, and, with constantly growingim-
tience, would wait for the voices c the
rry boys and girls on their return, that
y might repeat to Hie what they had
lea
in school."
he little blind boy spent many hours
ne, picturing to himself the old 'orchard,
h its trees of apple and peach and cherry,
the broad expanse of clover -field, with
white and red blossoms stretching far
ay in the distance.
e said in after years : " I can see them
before me, and I can see my dear mo-
r's face. The two pictures left to me,
cis of all others I would most wish to
e impressed upon my mind, are my mo -
•'s face and the old orchard as it was, in
bloom, at the time the curtain was
awn over my eyes. How I loved the

them for your little boy y I'• And, for answer, ;
the hot, silent tears fell upon my face, tell-
ing me of my -mother's anguish."
When Joseph was.ten years old, a school
for the blind was established in 'Tennessee.
It was announced in the newspapers that
ten blind children would be received and
instructed at the State's expense, in Nash-
ville, ,
This was startling. news.. The parents of
Joseph had been praying for some op-
portunity for their blind boy, and immedi-
ately they set about doing what they could
to prepare him for the journey and for; the
school.
The neighbors gathered together and con-
tributed from their small resources all F they
could spare, ,a sewing -bee prepared his little
wardrobe, and in one week Joseph started.
for Nashville, a long and tiresome journey
in those days. This parting was 'sad.
" My mother wept and prayed," said
Joseph, " my father sobbed aloud, and my
brothers ran away to hide in the haymows,
because they could not bear to say good-bye
to the household pet:"
It was ,a, bright October day when Joifeph
started with a neighbor, whose business
called him to Nashville, and the journey in
the old stage -coach was a sorrowful one to
the little blind boy who had never left his
mother's side for a day.
His joy knew no bounds when, for the,
first time, he had the books printed in
raised letters put into his hands. In three-
quarters of an hourhe mastered the alpha-
bet. His opportunities were unusual,; the
first few months, the pupils were so few,
the teacher could give much of his trials • to
Joseph. His enthusiasm for learning woe
so, great that his progress was phenomenal,
and in two months' time he could read
everything that was put into his hands.-
He
ands.-He made great headway in all that he un-
dertook except music. This, his teacher
said, he could not master, and he had better
give it up and devote himself to basket and
brush snaking. These were the -industries
-Caught in the school. As the music teacher
refused to give him lessons, he bargained
with one of his fellow -pupils to repeat to .
him the lessons as he took them from the
teacher. This he did, and.Joseph improved
the moments when the teacher was away to.
practice what he had learned from his school-
fellow. -
One day the school was to take a holiday,
and the. boys Were to go with their teachers
for a day in the woods. Joseph thought
this would be a good time for him to prac-
tice. Accordingly, he hid away in the barn,
and, when, the party was ready to start,
nothing could be found of Joseph. After
hunting and calling in, vain fora long time,
they decided to go without him. No so..ner
had they gone than the blind boy took his
seat at the piano, and there he sat, only
changing his position now and then for rest,
until the party returned.
The next day, as Joseph was practicing,
the music teacher, who was himself blind,
unexpectedly entered the room, and said :
" Who is that playing the new lesson so
well ? Who is at the piano ?"
. " I, sir," said Joseph.
" You cannot play. Tell' me who is at
the piano. Come here and let me hear you
play that: lesson."
i'After repeating the short study I had
been playing," says Joseph, in relating the
story, "I was asked what else I knew.
'All that you have given the other _boys,' I
said.
- " Let me bear you play from the instruc-
tion -book," said the teacher.
There was but one piano in the school,
and, by special permission, Joseph practiced
from four to seven in the morning. Fifteen
months later he took the prize for piano -
rte -playing. Seine years later Joseph was
eaching with great success, in a large in-
titution in New England, and could play
with ease the most difficult compositions,
fuer hearing the notes once or twice read.
During the years he spent at Nashville,
he, with a faithful guide -and a well-trained
corse, bad ridden through forests, had
Baled mountains, and forded rivers, and
earched every corner of the State in pur-
uit of blind children.
He had taken little blind children from
wretched homes in the forests, strapped
them on the saddle behind him, and ridden
orty or fifty miles over untrodden paths,
hrough an unknown country, till he reach -
d a stage route ; and he left the little blind
hill in the care of the stage -driver, to -start
again for some other blind child of whom he
ad- heard,.perhaps • through a travelling.
eddler, or by consulting the census.
Thus several years passed at the Nash-
ille institution, and Joseph thought he had
ccumulated enough to justify him in re-
gning his position and going forth to real -
e the golden dream of his life -a college
ducation at Harvard. But obstacle after
bstacle appeared in his way ; his health
ave way, and, through the unfaithfulness
nd treachery of a trusted friend, his money
as lost, and he was obliged to give up his
perished plan for a college education and
lie a position as teacher.
;After teaching some years, he was advised
Igo to Europe for a year of rest. What
he accomplished abroad every American
ould be proud of.
Joseph's first thought; when he reached
ondon, was for the little blind children.
e at once began to investigate the institu-
nsofor the blind and to study the me -
ods that were in use for their instruction
d improvement. He found them very un-
tisfactory.
He had been but a few days, in London
en he learned that there was to be a
eting of gentlemen to consult about the
ucational advantages for the blind, and,
possible, to improve their condition. This
eting was composed of gentlemen of high
nding and influence. The Duke of West -
raster and ._Dr. Armitage, with others
atly respected for their philanthropy and
nevolence, were of the number.
Our friend Joseph, a penniless, friendless,
htless American, an unknown foreigner,
eared among the noted gentlemen, and
destly expressed his views upon the sub -
t of educating the blind. He had nothing
recommend 'him but his earnest, heartfelt
erest in his unfortunate- brothers, and his
eptional voice, full of pathos and feeling.

Accordingly, he was follo-ed to the sta-
tion, all unconscious that the eye of the
richest Duke in England was upon him ; for
the Duke became so impressed with his skill
and wisdom in asaking his way through the
crowded streets that he did not ask him to
drive with him, but watched his movements
in zeal- and
enthusi m
g as to .carry out his
favorite theory that' the blind' are to be
treated exactlylike other people, and that
they are to be inspired With self-respect and
made self-supporting. .
His institution in Upper Norwood (Lon-
don) is now one of the largest in Europe.
It combines all the. facilities and advan-
tages of the best -appointed institutions for
-seeing people. It has skating -rinks, gym-
nasiums, - bicycle • clubs, tennis -courts,
grounds for ball -playing, and swiinming-
tanks. Dr. Campbell (for by this name is
our Joseph known to the . world) goes with
his pupils on long bicycle -tours through the
green lanes and byways of England, and no
company of sight -seers ever enjoyed more
than the blind boys, who seem to take in
through their keen senses of - smell and
touch as much pleasure as those who have
sight., They examine the flowers and the
foliage along the hedgerows, and exclaim
with delight-_ at : every new specimen of
flower or shrub.
Dr. Campbell was the first - blind man to
ascend Mont.Blanc, and, when asked why
he. attempted so perilous an undertaking, he
replied : " To bring my school into more
prominent notice. The fact of my accom-
plishing this feat, the only blind man who
has attempted it, has been largely written
uIi in the London newspapers, and the in-
quiry is made, ' Who is the man, and what
does he do?' Hence niy school is brought
to notice." -
The pupils of this institution are scattered
throughout the country, as music -teachers,
organists, and piano -tuners, and so saperior
are they in their various departments that
they are constantly sought above those who
have sight.
A large church in a city of Scotland ad-
vertised for an organist, and Dr. Campbell,
always on the alert for the -advancement of
his pupils, at once answered the advertise-
ment and recommended one of his number
for the position. Answer came that the
church would not think. of employing a blind
organist. Dr. Campbell again wrote, ask-
ing that his pupil might be given a chance
to compete with others for the situation.
A very curt reply carne back that the church
would not incur the travelling ,expenses of
a blind man, whom they were - quite sure
would not answer their =purpose. Nothing
daunted, Dr. Campbell replied that he
woeld defray all expenses, if his pupil might
have the privilege of trying. This the
church committee could not refuse, and the
-sightless man started to accomplish what
seemed almost a hopeless task. Arriving in
the city, he went at once to the church to
1 study its location and to ascertain the exact
position of the organ.
When the evening came for the trial test,
the critics were all , there, with their pre-
conceived judgment and their determined
opposition. It was a trying place for our
blind friend. As if to dispose of him as soon
as possible, he was asked to play first.
- "Play," said the committee, "tune two
hundred and twenty." -
Immediately, with great force and beauty,
the tune was played.
The gentlemen of the committee looked at
each other in surprise, and said, " That was
an accident. of course ; we will ask for an-
other tune ; play three hundred."
Now, conscious of the favorable impression
he had 'made, the blind man, quick as
thought, made the organ pour forth in soul -
stirring melody the tune that was called for.
Tune after tune was played with wondrous
power and artistic variations, and the old
Scotch deacons shook their heads with as-
tonishment. Other organists followed, and
tried their skill to the utmost. But to the
blind man was given the position, which he
has held for a decade with constantly in-
creasing satisfaction to the church. He
had learned the tunes most often used in
the churches before he left the institution,
and could play them as they were called for,
having in mind not only the notes, but the
number of each tune as well.
One little incident shows Dr. Campbell's
loyalty to his own country and to rep ibli-
can principles. The tutor of a blind Prince
from Germany was sent out to investigate
the various institutions iii Europe, that he
might decide upon the one he thought best
for the education of the young Prince. He
came at last to London to the school in Up-
per Norwood, and, after remaining there a
few weeks, he decided that that was the
place, above all others, for his charge. Ac-
cordingly, he informed Dr. Campbell that
he should go back to his own country and
inform the parents of the Prince that this
was the school for their son.
" I am sorry to. tell you," said Dr. Camp-
bell,, " that 1 shall not be able to take the
Prince. My school is established upon
American principles, and - to introduce a
Prince with his attendants ' among my
pupils, most of whom are from the poorer
classes, would involve changes in my family
menage which I should not like to make.
My school is thoroughly democratic, and
we have .no distinction of rank and posi-
-
tion." -
The tutor was greatly surprised, feeling,
as he did, that it would be a great honor to
have one of the royal family in the school.
The matter was laid . before the Duke of
Westminster, who was President of : the
Board of Trustees.
The Duke said : " Dr. Campbell, this is
carryying your American notions too far.
Nothing would give our institution such
notoriety as to have a prince among its in-
mates." •
.Dr. Cambell 'quietly and modestly re-
plied : " X our Highness will pardon me.'
I have weighed the question well, and have
decided that it will be impossible - for me to
accede to your wishes. I cannot change my
decision."
Seeing it useless to pursue the subject,
the tutor, as he was about to take his de-
parture, said, " If you will not take my
charge as a prince, will you take him as a
beggar? He must come to this school
for there is none to compare with it in
Europe."
The Prince entered the school upon ex-
actly the same conditions that a waif from
the streets of London would •have been re-
ceived, and he remained, a happy and con-
tented inmate for several years.
Who could foresee that this blind boy
was to be the chosen of God to bring his
fellow -sufferers all over the world out of
helpless darkness into self -helpfulness ? His
methods are such as to elevate the blind
and make them self-supporting and self-re-
specting. It was by the force of Joseph
Campbell's character that all this has been
accomplished ; and is it not a great achieve-
ment for a blind, penniless, friendless
American to establish one of the best schools
in Eurupe, and perhaps one of the -- best in
the world, for the education of sightless
people ? --Through his efforts a bill, for
which he has been laboring for years, has
just passed Parliament, ordering all blind
and deaf and dumb children to be taught at
the expense of the State.

The Editor's Saturday ight.
(With apologies to Robert Burns.)
BY R. .T. DUNSMORS.
In hie cheerless sanctum, cold and dr r,
'The lSditor sat and shivered with fear ;
He had hustled in vain the live -long d ,y
To collect enough for the printers' ay.
'Twas a quarter to six, and very soon
The printers would stand in the edi is room,
Around his table in grim array,
Seeking in vain their weekly pay.
Tho editor groaned in deep despair.
He spilled his ink and tore his hair ;
He dropped his scissors in feverish ha to
With a " siokenirf thud " they fel in the paste.
He strove to think, but 'twee no use,
He could not frame a fair excuse ;
He had " stood them off " so often, hat now
He expected his men would rahe•a row.
The time is up. they drop their " sti ks,"
In doleful tones, the clock strikes s x ;
They come, they come, the old stairs creak,
The hunted scribe grows faint and veak.
They enter the room in single file,
The editor forces a sickly smile ;
Printers and pressmen and " devil " are there,
Standing around the editor's chair. -
The tortured editor rose to his feet,
(The. " devil " beat a hasty retreat :
For when the scribe arose from his chair,
The imp knew something was in the air).
" Boys," at length the editor spoke, .
" I'm sorry to say I'm utterly broke ;
Through stores and factories shops and mine,
I've tried to collect outstanding bilis ;
But not a cent c-uld I obtain,
In spite of plodding through mud and rain ;
But one old farmer I managed to collar,
He subscribed, and kindly gave a dollar.
" I'll divide the dollar among you five,
And twenty cents each should keep you alive ;
As for you two, I think tot) much money you blciw,
Why, I,gave you a dollar each, three weeks ago !
The extravagant two looked guilty and blushed,
And the editor's voice for a moment was hushed;
And then he remarked, with great bonhomie,
• I trust, in the future, you'llpraetice economy."
And the Hien walked out, a sorrowful crew,
Each wondering what be was going to do :
The editor smiled In a joyous way, ,
And called to the devil : " Here, Snaggs, Iet us
pray !"

The System Explained.
The president of the union had the affair
all planned out and could see no possibility
of a failure.
" It is very simple," he said. " You see,
our first move will be to declare a strike
against the company."
" But the company says it can stand it,"
protested the doubter. -
" Of course, of course," replied the presi-
dent ; " but that is only the beginning.
We will next declare a boycott on the com-
pany's goods."
" What if ;that doesn't fetch the company
to terms ?"
" Why, then, we will order a strike in
every concern that uses the company's
goods."
" What else ?"
" We will boycott the goods of every man.
who uses the company's goods.'?
" Anything more ?"
" Certainly. We'll boycott every man
who buys goods of the men who use the
company's goods."
" And if that don't settle it ?"
" Then we'lI close up every man who
trades with the men who buy goods of the
men who use the company's goods."
" Is that your last card ?"
" Certainly not. We'll smash the day-
lights out of every citizen who deals with
the men who trade with the men who buy
goods of the men who use the company's
goods. And if that won't do it, we won't
let union shops sell anything to•the wives
of the citizens who Ileal with the men who
trade with the men who buy goods of the
men who use the company's goods. Oh,
we're bound is vin this strike,"
" If there's no break in, your system and
you don't starve, and ` you all hold to-
gether and the public don't kick," added
the doubter. -Chicago Post.

How Bridget Prepared Crabs.
Bridget, her Harlem mistress always said;
was " willing," but. she did not under-
stand American cookery.
Her mistress sent home a half dozen live
hard shell crabs one day and had left word
that they were to be prepared for dinner.
When the lady entered the kitchen on her
return home she found Bridget in tears and
with her hands arid -arms tied up. Two
empty green crab shells were on the table,
three of the crabs were mutilated and dead,
and the last one Bridget was preparing to
attack.
" I've downed them all," exclaimed
Bridget, " but that last devil in the eorner,
and he's a fighter."
" What are you doing to them ?" gasped
the mistress.
" Cleaning them, ma'am. There's two of
them cleaned," pointing to the empty shells.

Do Not Will Them.
" No decent person who knows the value
of birds that sing, whether their notes be
harsh or sweet voiced, will ever kill a sing-
ing bird," said a naturalist. `• Thousands
of birds that are of inestimable value to
the farmer as well as to the town dweller
who grows fruit or keeps a garden are
slaughtered ruthlessly every year.
" The farmer. the gardener and the fruit
grower should know more about the birds
that nest and sing and flit about their prem-
ises, for then they would defend and pro-
tect them and in time have them back in
something like their old time numbers and
variety. How often, nowadays, does one
see the saucy, rich voiced, nervous little
wren ? A few years ago it was seen and
heard everywhere, but it must be a favored
locality that it visits now. Yet the little
wren was a most ravenous devourer of the
pestiferous and destructive cutworm of the
gardens and did great work toward lessen-
ing the damage done by the pest of the soil.
The bright >tittle blue bird clears the air
and the ground of thousands of codlin moths
and cankerworms during the season.
" The crow blackbird has no peace at the
hands of man, yet a dock of them in a short
time will clear a newly planted field of all
its hosts of destructive larva that the plow
turns up. The great American crow itself
would do the same thing if it wasn't for
the inevitable man with a gun that just
wants the crow to try it once. Neither the
blackbird nor the crow cares as much for
corn as it does for grubs, and if farmers
would scatter corn about their fields instead
of putting up scarecrows and the like those
misunderstood -birds would never pull up a
hill of his planting. The chances are any-
how that if the agriculturist will take the
trouble to examine a hill of young corn that
he charges the crow with pulling upwill -
find that it was cut off by a grub f some
kind, and that the crow was simply' mining
for the grub, not the corn.

trial to the man who has fruit trees and
bushes, but if he could only biinglimself to
step and think how many thousands of rav-
aging insects that are the especial enemies
of his trees and. bushes that the robin de-
stroys, both before the fruit has ripened
and for weeks after it has gone, he 'would
n:ot begrudge the bird. the few quarts of
cberries or berries that it levies on as par -
dal satisfaction of the debt the grower owes
him. The same may be said of the other
thrushes -for the robin is a thrush -the
cherry birds, orioles, blue jays and many
other birds of the class, These birds never
levy tribute on grain or seeds, but they do
the farmer untold benefit.
" The climbing birds are the different
varieties of woodpeckers, and they are con-
stantly befriending growing things, W hen -
ever a woodpecker is heard tapping on a
tree, it is the deathknell of the laryze of
some destructive insect. yet it is not an
uncommon thing to see the very person for
whom this bird is industriously at work
following with his gun the bird's red head
from tree to tree until the opportunity
comes for him to send a load of shot into
the unsuspecting feathered philanthropist.
It is a pet belief ainong farmers that the
woodpecker kills the tree is works on, and
that he is working for that very purpose.
It is a fact that the common little _sap-
sucker does injure trees, but the wood-
ecker never does. Quite the contrarT
he white breasted nut hatch and the litt e
gray creeper --so generally confounded with
the sapsucker -live exclusively on tree in-
eects, yet the nut hatch is in bad repute
'among many fa,rmers because they believe it
ills their bees.
' " The meadow lark is another bird *that
has little peace on any one's land, for there
IS a mistaken notion abroad that he is a game
bird. He is game in the quality of being
alert and hard to get a shot at, but is no
More entitled to be so classified than the
flicker or high -holder is. The meadow lark
a constant feeder on underground larvae,
ncl whenever he is disturbed he is simply
riven away from active work in ridding
he ground of the worst kind of farm pests.
he blue jay may be said to be indirectly an
dnemy to the farmer as well as a friend, for
it has the bad habit of destroying the eggs
of other birds that do only good.
" If there is one bird that the farmer
loves to do all in his power to exterminate
more than he does the crow, unless it may
be the hawk, that bird is the owl. He
van't be brought to the belief that if it were
riot for the owls and the hawks his fields
Would be overrun and burrowed by field
Mice to such an extent that his crops would
be in perpetual danger ; that owls, while
out mousing, feed on myriads of night fly-
ing moths and beetles, thus preventing the
raying of millions upon millions of the eggs
of these insects, and that they not only
lieep the field mice down, but lessen the
number of domestic mice and rats about
barns and outhouses to an extent that a
small army of the most vigilant cats could
not surpass. As to the hawk, the farmer
iiemembers that on some occasion one carried
off a chicken for him, and therefore the fact
that the big soaring bird daily kills many
4eld mice, grasshoppers, snakes, lizards,
beetles and other vermin cannot be set up
in its defense. The proportion of hawks or
owls that kill chickens is small compared
with those who keep down the deadly ene-
mies of the farmer's crops." --Exchange.
Darkened Sleeping Rooms
It is claimed by some physicians that the
brain cannot rest perfectly unless all light is
excluded perfectly from the sleeping room,
and whether in going to bed at night or
simply lying down for a half-hour's rest in
the middle of the day, this precaution should
be taken. Where a house has an eastern or
sputher-n exposure the rooms will be filled
with light long before it is time to get up,
and unless some means be taken to prevent
it, the morning rest will be more or less
broken. Especially is this true in the case
of little children, and it is well to accustom
them from the first to sleep in the dark.
Le the absence of outside blinds there is
no better way to secure this pleasant twi-
light so conducive to rest than by the use
of inside shades of darkest green holland,
and they have.a, great advantage over either
inSide or outside blinds in that they are so
eaeily adjusted.
They supplement, but do not take the
phice of the ordinary shades, but are set
somewhat inside so as riot to interfere with
them, anti are ro'lled up and quite out of the
w when not in use.
he best grades of these goods ate dur-
abit, and with reasonable care will last for
yeah, and from her own experience the
writer can recommend them as a most de-
sirable investment.
If the bedroom windows have upfler
panels of sta:ned glass in which so many
modern houses abound, the green shades
should be set -so as to cover these also, as an
exceedingly unpleasant glare pours down
from them, very trying to the eyes which
are trained to sleep in a darkness as com-
plete as poSsible.-Harper's Bazar.
