The following scraps of information as to the em} uired in watching the Ophtal mic Hospital, may our readers, as to appearance is generally most complete Several very pleasing eases our A esc aren loathsome deformity, and restoring appearance, Became’ the means of effec of the wearer. - In order to complete success, itis very. desirable that the substitute eye should move weil. This, however, is not essential, 3 should two eyes not move equally, the only de- suggested to the casual observer is that of uint. To secure the movements of the natural globe, in its collapsed state, should, if possible, be retain- fect a slight the artificial organ, ed in order to serve as a stump. This stum: or cushion receives the attached muscles an obeys their movements, of cou with ich has been it the concave glass eye, which has fitted upon it. If the entire globe be diseased, and its removal necessary, the operation should be conducted on the modern plan, viz: by divisions of the muscles close to their at- tachments, nothing whatever excepting the globe itself being taken away. By this pre- ‘caution, the museles will be left in their full length, aud becoming connected in the course of healing, with the mass of cellular tissue, fat, &c., which remains in the orbit, will.cos- stitute a cushion of mobility. with careful patients the artificial ally requires to be renewed, or at least re-en- ameled. once a year. I[t becomes coated at the back by concretions from the tears, and ie then so irrigating that its disuse becomes ne- cessary. To obviate this inconyenience, pa- tients should always remove them at night. and have them carefully washed ; they should also, if convenient, lay them aside for a few days whenever the eye became irritated. or a greater tendency to deposite is observed than usual. Among the poor, this lial ility to soon become unwearable is a serious objec tion to their use. Some surgeons have indeed almost ceased to recommend them to their hos- pital patients on this account, reserving their employment for cases in which the sufferer ap- pears more than usually intelligent and like ly to succeed in the management. Mr. Gray, (of Goswell strect,) the maker of artificial eyes to Ophthalmic Hospital, informed us, in answer to inquiries on this head, that he thought an artificial eye might, with ordinary care, be ake in a good state at a cost of about fifteen shillings a year. This estimate, of course, ap- plies only to a pauper patient, to whom cost price only would be charged.—London Medi- cal Times and Gazette. eye gener- Fring at a Sea Searent.—I remember being startled one morning, while cruising in a fine frigate off the coast of Portugal, by the ery from the lock-out at the main-topmast- head, ‘‘ Sea Serpent, 0!” “Where away ?”” * Broad on the leo-bow, sir!’” The officer of the deck levelled his glass at the object, and, speechless with amazement. handed it to the first lieutenant, who, after peeping through it a moment, relinquished it to the master, and made a straight wake for the cabin, whence he presently emerged, closely followed by the captain. The captain leoked—the master looked—we all looked! There he was, sure enough, and no mistake— a great, black monster, about a milo long; his vertebrm appearing above the water like a thousand roughly coopered barrels strung loosely together. ‘“ Mr. Blowhard,” at length said the com- mander, drawing a long breath, keep her away a couple of points, and beat to quarters. We'll double-shot the guns, and give it to him, starboard and port, sir!”’ At the tap of the drum, officers and men went to their quarters; the port battery was cast loose; and the captains of the guns, every now and then squinting along their pets, to keep them pointed fair at the var- mint, stood with the lock-string in their hands, all ready to let slip, at the word of command. ‘‘ Fire by divisions !’’ shouted the executive. at the top of his lungs. Then came a succes- sion of deafening reports; the good ship gave a heavy keel to the starboard, and—marvel- lous to relate—when the smoke cleared away. not a vestige of the sea serpent was to be seen: a number of pools of blood, about which some thousands of porpoises were distractedly swim- ming. “I say, Sergeant,’ cried the hospital stew- ard, who parsed for a wit among the crew, ‘if you could only get them knock-kneod monster-marines of yours to form as straight a a line as these ere marine monsters. has just formed, I should really consider you a seeond Napoleon.” “ Why, steward,’’ said a broad-shouldered, high-sterned quartermaster, shoving in the blade of his oar, ‘do you mean for to insini- vate that that wasn’t the sea-sarpint, but only some Porpoises, as the old man ordered us to fire at?’ “Why, in course I does,”’ answered the stew- ard. “Then I’m blessed but you’re a fool!’’ po- litely rejoined the quartermaster. Thus ended the adventure of the ‘« sea-sar- pint!” A Worp to Youne Mzx.—Extract from the address delivered before the gradui class of Rutger’s College, by the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen: ‘ Resolve to do something useful, honorable, dutiful, and doit heartily. Repel the thought that you can, and therefore you may, live above work and without it. Among the most pitiable objects in society is the man whose mind has not been trained by the discipline of education; who-has learned how to think of the value of his immortal powers, and with all these noble faculties cultivated and prepared for an honorable activity, ignobly sits down to do nothing; with no influence over the public mind; with no interest in the concerns of his —z or even his neighborhood; to be re- garded 2s a drone, without object or charac- ter, with no hand te lift and no effort to put forth to help the right or defeat the wrong.

There is an old tradition that the cyes are strei ened, and the vision preserved in old age, y rub! the closed eyclids frequently with the finger in = horizontal direction. About three years there was considerable excitement in New York, by persons profes:- ing to cure weakness of vision, yea, even re- storing faded sight, by manipulating the eyc- balls. The New York “Scalpel”? treats sach pretensions as deluzive, and asserts that sach treatment as mechanical manipulation for the eyes is positively injurious. It cites some cares where resulted to those who submitted to rubbing of the eyes for the cure eee ms and instances a case of a man who le is tight forever by some one—a friend—who thoughtlessty came behind him and closed his eyes firmly with his hauds, calling upon kim ‘to guess who it was—a not uncommon custom among thourhtless young ople. The eye is #0 yery tender—is such @ ne piece of mechanism, thet it must be han- died and treated with great care and gentle- ness. Many become short-sighted at an early age, constitutionally or by sickness, or by im- posing too much labor upon the viseal orzans. a health the eyes will undergo mucli fatigue, but they are as capable of being over-taxed as the armsor the limbs. Much rea: ing or writing, by artificial light, is very trying to the eyes, especially if the light is unsteady, teo brilliant, or too weak. A good full light, shaded with a light blue globe, is the best to read or write with during evening hours. Upon no consideration should a man read more than four hours at once, by artificial light, and he should give his eyes ten minutes rest after he has read two hours; this is the experience we have gathered from not a few persons. Those who are blessed with strong eyes should not overtax them, as many zealous students do, by too much night pre 4 , Or as seme students do, by too mvc: night writing. There are instances on record of a sudden loss of sight by strong men, who had read and written by lamp-light, as if their eyes never would fail, and their ‘vision never lose its power. The celebrated Euler lost his eye- sight by an imprudent night’s study, in some ot his mathematical calculations be smoke of lamps is very hurtful to the eyes, hence a good circulation of air is necessary for the eyes as for the lungs. The “Scalpel’’ as- serts that it is teijentons to wash the eyes by dipping the face in a basin and opening the eyes in the water, and recommends cold tea or milk and water for bathing the eyes in pre- ference to water itself. A very weak solution of the sulphate of zine is excellent for blood- shot or surface-inflamed eyes; we have never os it to fail in effecting a cure in a few ays. Assyrian Astiguities —Byron lained of our secant knowledge of Assyrian life. His gorgeous drama of ‘Sardanapalus’—the con- ception of the hero, and the moral setting of the play—rose out of the poet’s mind rather than from known materials. The scene was a creation. Thirty-five years have passed, and, thanks to Rawlinson and Layard, the English Court as with thatof Egypt. Our knowledge, too, is daily deepening. Among the many curious illustrations of Assyrian life brought home by Col. Rawlinson from the East, and now on view at the British Muscum—where they have been visited during the week by the Majesty of England—are, an alabaster vase, containing some remains of sweetmeats, various objects in gold and ivory, of the thione of Sardanapalus, many ioseriptions re- lating to the deods of men csiebrated in secu- lar and sacred history—such as Nebuchad- nezzar, Sardanapatus, and Tigiath-Pileser— gems and other personal ornaments; together with a sories of drawings, made by artists on the spot, from slabs impossible to bring away from their ancient resting places, repre: ing the more heroic forms of antique re!axa- tion—tlioa hunts, banquets, and the like.

I would like to see the township that could turn out a better looking set of widows than Columbus.

A man was engaged in blasting hard earth on the south- ern terminus of Ridout streot. He fired one of the fuses, and retreated to _— of safety te await the explosion. Nearly fifteen minutes had elapsed without any appearance of its having taken effect, and he approached the mats of earth under the im jon that all was safe, and prepared to redrill the hole. He had hardly renewed the operation when the charge of powder exploded with a terrific re- ort and blew the unfortunate man several eet inthe air. When picked up he was found to have been mutil in a horrible manner. The upper part of the head was scalped, leay- ing the bone of the entire forehead visible ; his clothing was blown into shreds, and his arms were a mass of bruises. But little hopes were entertained of his recovery.
