Care of tho Eyes. Tho most seriouR trouble with read ers ami writers is, as might bo predicted _rom th(‘ir peculiar work, weak eyes. ’ ® ™ that engravers, watch-makers and all others who use their eyes con stantly in their work take extra care to preserve them by getting the best pos sihle light by day and using the best ar tificial light at night. The greut army 'f readers and writers are careless, and most of them, sooner or later, pay the penalty by being forced to give up night work entirely—some to give up reading, except at short intervals, under the lrest conditions, and now and then one loses tho eyesight entirely after it is too late to take warning. Greek, German, short hand, or any other characters differing from the plain Roman type, make a double danger. The custom is to laugh at all warnings till pain or weakness makes attention imperative, and then it is often too late to avert the mischief. Pew comprehend the vast number we flippantly call a million, but it takes a million letters to make up a fair-sized volume of 500 pages, forty lnies to the page, fifty letters to the line. A reader makes an easy day of reading this, but his eyes must go over a thousand thou sand letters ! We can do no better ser vice to readers and writers than to call attention to this great danger of failing to take the best of care, which is none too good, for the eyes. Every tyro knows that lie should have the beRt light for reading, should shun carefully early dawn or twilight, should always stop at the first signs of pain or weari ness, etc. Most know that the glare from a plain, white surface is very try ing, and that the eye is relieved by a tint. Recent experiments in Germany are reported to indicate some yellowish tint as easiest for the eves. Dark pa pers. inks that show little color on first writing, faint lead-pencil marks that can be read only by straining the eyes, are fruitful sources of mischief. So is bad writing. The bad paper, ink and pen cils most of our readers will have too good sense to use. The intelligent pub lic should so clearly show its disgust at the fine type, solid matter, poor paper and poor printing which some publish ers and most periodicals, except the best, are guilty of offering, that no pub lisher would dare, attempt the experi ment a second time. The modern news paper. which so many read in the cars and by gaslight, is one of the most fruitful causes of poor eyesight. We can not control this at once, but owe it as a duty to protest stoutly against such priuted matter, and, if possible, tc re fuse to buy or tolerate it in any form more than absolutely necessary. Priut ed matter ought to be leaded. A size smaller type with this extra space be tween the lines is easier to read than the size larger set without it. As the leaded smaller size will contain fully as much matter to a given space, there is no rea son why publishers should not adopt it, because it is quite as cheap.—Literary Journal.

THE MERCHANT’S CRIME. V HORATIO AM1KR, JR. CHAPTER XVII—Continued. It was as follows: “James Cromwell: “Dear Sir:—Yours of the loth instant, in formin; me of your safe arrival at Madison and your determination to make that place your home, was duly received The accident which you speak of as near befalling mv ward at Nlasar i Palls did not surprise me. He is a careless boy. and I should not be surprised at any time to lie ir of his comill',' to harm from this cause Of course, you will exercise prop : er care ir. cautioning him. etc, and then, should he meet with any accident. X shall ex onerate you from blame in the matter How is his health: l have at times thought he in herited the feeble constitution of his father. I understand also from (he late Mr Raymond. ! that his mother was an invalid,and it is hardly i to be expected that he would have a very strong or vigorous constitution. However. I ! do not feel anxious on this point, as I am j aware that you have a knowled e of medicine. ] and I have'full confidence in your ability to ! take all proper care of my youuj? ward I sup- I pose you have found a suitable school for him j I shall be Rlad to hear that he is doinit well in j his studies, though on account of his not very strong constitution, previously re,erred to, it ! may be well not to press him too hard in the I way of study. Let me hear from you respectin: Robert 's welfare, from time to time. “Yours, .Sic., Paul Morton James Cromwell read this letter , twice over. “He’s a crafty ola spider.” he said to himself. “Any one to read it would think that he was very solici tous for the welfare of this boy. It would be considered an excellent j letter by those who did not under- ‘ stand it. I am behind the scenes, j and I know just what it means. He j means to blame me, because I didn’t j make a sure thing of it at Niagara I Falls, and hints pretty plainly about ' some accident happening to him in ! future. He is impatient to hear of j his death, that is plain, and no j doubt he will gladly pay the amount ! he promised, as soon as he receives intelligence of it.” So James Cromwell, spurred by a ' double motive, veered more and more toward the accomplishment of the dark deed which would stain his soul with bloodshed, and in return give him the fleeting possession of money and the girl whom he loved. Once resolved upon the deed, the next consideration was the ways and means of accomplishing it. Should he use poison? That seemed most in his line, and he regretted that he had not secured a supply of the same subtile poison which Paul Mor ton had purchased of him in the small shop on the Bowery. There was likely to be no one in that neigh borhood who possessed a sufficient medical knowledge to detect its ! presence or trace its effects. But it j was rare and there was little chance of his obtaining it unless by sending to New York, and this would, of itself, afford strong ground for sus- j picion against him. Then, as to the ordinary poisons. : their effects upon the human system : were too well understood, even by j ordinary physicians, for him to em ploy them without great peril. He. deoided, therefore, to abjure poisons j altogether. The fact that he was a druggist would render their use even ! more readily suspected than in the j case of an ordinary person. One i evening while he was still pondering this question, and much embarrassed i about the decision of it. ho chanced to be returning home from a des ultory walk which he had taken. ' Now, in the town of Madison, some- i what centrally situated, or at least, I one side of it was near the center of I the town, there was a pond of about two miles in circuit. By the edge of this pond James Cromwell met Hob- i ert Raymond. Instantly an idea came into his mind, as casting his eyes toward the pond, he saw a small boat tied by a rope round the trunk of a tree. “Good evening. Mr. Cromwell,” said Robert. “Have you boon tak ing a walk?” •‘Yes. lmt I have not been far. When did you come out?” “About half an hour ago.” ••Re the way, do you know how to row?” “A little.” •■I was thinking that we might borrow this boat, and have a little row on the pond. What do voa say?” ••1 should like it," said Hobart promptly, for he had a boy's love of the water. “Shalt I unfasten the j rope?" “Yes, I wish you would. ” Robert at once sprang to the tree, and quickly untied the rope and set the boat free. “All ready, Mr. Cromwell!” he cried. “Jump aboard, and I will get in afterward.” James Cromwell stepped into the boat, his heart beatiug quick with the thought of the deed which he meditated. His courage almost failed him, for he was of a timid nature, but the thought of the stake for which he was playing renewed his courage, and he resolved that, come what might, that night should be Robert Raymond’s last “Which of us shall row, Mr. Crom well?” asked Robert. “I will row first, and you may do so afterward. ” “All right” Cromwell took his place, and rowed | l-athcr awkwardly until the boat j ‘reached the middle of the pond. “Shan’t I take the oars now, Mr. | Cromwell?” “Not quite yet. I am going to row into that little recess over yonder. You can row back.” The outline of the pond was irregu- , lar. In one place there was a recess surrounded by woods, within which they would be shielded from view. It seemed a fitting place for a tragedy, j When they were fairly within it, I Cromwell said: “Now you may take the oa s ” Kobert rose from his seat and | stepped toward the center of the boat. His movements were naturally rath- ! er unsteady. James Cromwell turn ed pale, and he braced his shrinking nerves. He felt that now was his j time. Unless he acted now his op portunity would be gone. As Kobert approached, he suddenly seized the unsuspecting boy around the middle, and threw him into the water. .So j suddenly was it done, that before the | hoy understood what had happened ! | to him he found himself engulfed. J I Never mice looking back, James 1 Cromwell seized the oars, and rowed 1 himself swiftly back. When ho got on shore, he looked nervously out ; over the surface of the pond. All i was still Nothing was visible of ; Kobert. “He is drowned!” said Cromwell to I himself, wiping away the large drops J of perspiration from his forehead. CHAPTER XVIII. Cato. •Such was the suddenness with which Robert had been hurled into the water that he had no chance to defend himself. He was scarcely conscious of having been attacked until he found himself in the water struggling for life. He knew noth ing of swimming from actual exper ience. yet under the stress cf neces sity, and with death staring him in the face, lie instinctively struck out, and managed temporarily to keep his head above water. Hut the shore was a hundred yards distant, and to reach it would have been beyond his unskilled strength to accomplish, if he had not luckily happened to re ceive assistance. Unknown to James Cromwell, there had been a spectator of bis dastardly attempt to drown the boy who had been placed in his charge. The spectator was an odd charac ter; an old negro who years ago had built for himself a ruce cabin in the shadow of the woods. He had for merly been a slave in Kentucky, but had managed to escape from servi tude, and built himself this cabin, where ho lived by himself. He sup ported himself by working for any one who needed help 011 the farm or in the garden, and cooked his own food in his simple dwelling. “What debble’s work is dis?” he said to himself. “What’s he goin’ to killde boy for? Can’t let de poor boy drown, no way. ” As he spoke. h% flung himself into the water and swam with vigorous strokes toward the place whore Rob ert was struggling. “Hold up a minute, young massa,” he cried, for in his freedom he pre served the language of former days, “hold up a minute, and I’ll saveyer.” Robeit heard this, and it gave him courage to struggle longer. In a short time the negro was at his side and seizing him by the arm. turned and headed for the shore. It was soon reached, and the two stood side by side, both dripping with moist ure. Had James Cromwell turned back he might have discovered the rescue, but he did not dare to do so until he reached the opposite side, and then there was nothing to be seen. “What sail this moan, yoimff mas- ■ sa?” asked Cato, for this was the i name of the negro. He had brought no other with him, but one was quite sufficient for his modest require ments. "I don't know,” said Robert. “The ; man that was with me suddenly seized me round the waist, and Hung : me into the pond. ” “I saw him do it,” said Cato. “What made him?” “That’s more than I can tell, un less he is crazy,” said- Robert. ••Is dis do fust time he try to drown you?” asked Cato. Robert started as the force of this question dawned upon him. He re called the scene at Niagara Falls, and the narrow escape he had from a horrible death at that time. “No.” he answered, “he tried to push mo over Niagara I'alis once, but I thoughtit was a i accident then. I don’t think so now.” -You lib with him?” “Yes: my guardian placed me with him.” ‘ tie s a wicked man. Don t you go nigh him again.'’ “I won’t,” said Robert. "I shouldn’t feel safe with him. But 1 don't know where to go to-night.” ••Como to my cabin”’ said Cato “It’s a poor place for the likes of you. young massa, but it’s better dan sleepin’ out in de woods.” “Thanks, Cato,” said Robert, for he knew who it was that had saved him. ‘J will accept your invitation gladly. Lead the way and I will fol low. ” The negro's hut was near by. it was small enough, being only about ten feet square. On the floor was spread a blanket over some straw. Robert lay down on the rude bed, and though excited by the peril through which he had passed, and by t e thought that James Cromwell had been guilty of such au atrocious attempt, nature at last asserted her supremacy, and he sank to sleep. When he awoke the sun had already risen. The first sight upon which his eyes rested was ihe black face of his companion bending over him. He did not immediately remember where he was, and cried, raising his head, ••Where am I?” “Here, young massa, in Cato’s | cabin,” said the negro. “Yes, i remember now,” said Rob-1 ert. lie sprang from his couch and ! hastily put on his clothes. lJo found ; that through the kind services of the j negro they were quite dry. though j his shirt bosom and cuffs presented a limp appearance, the starch ha. ing soaked out of them. This was, how ever. a minor calamity, to which he paid hut little attention. When he was dressed he turned to go away, though he hardly knew where to direct his course. “hitop,” said Cato. “Cato have breakfast ready in a minute ” “Ho you mean that I am to break- j fast with you, Cato?” “Yes, if young massa will be so ! kind. ” “I think the kindness is all on the ! other side,” said Robert, laughing. “Yes, I will accept your invitation with much pleasure; particularly as I don’t know where else to go for any. ” Cato appeared to consider that a great favor had been granted to him in acceptance of the invitation, and he set to work zealously to prepare a meal of which his young friend might partake. In the course of ail hour Cato pro duced a breakfast consisting of hot hoe cakes and fried eggs, which not only had a very appetizing flavor, but stood the test of eating remarka bly well Robert’s peril of the pre vious night had by no moans injured his appetite, and he did lull justice to the breakfast provided- < 'ato gazed with much satisfaction at the evidences of his young guest’s relish ing the repast provided, and ap peared to regard it as a personal compliment to himself. While Robert was eating he was considering his future plans. He had in Ins pocket the sum of $10; which though soaked in water, he was able to dry; and this, though insufficient to defray his expenses would at least start him on his journey. As to what ho might do after this was exhausted, he did not know, but he was buoyant in hope, and he felt that it was no use to anticipate trouble. Enough to meet it when it came. CHAPTER XrX. The Day After. James Cromwell came down to breakfast on the morning succeeding his attempt to drown our young hero, with as composed a manner as his nervous agitation permitted him to assume. ‘•Where is our young friend?” asked the landlady, for Cromwell and Robert usually came in together. ‘■I have not seen him since sup per,” said Cromwell. “I was about to ask you if you had seen anything of him.” “Was he not here last night?” “Xo, I went to his room just now, and found that his bed is untouched.” ‘ That is strange,” said Mr. Man ton. “I have felt quite troubled about him.” said Cromwell, hypocritically. ••Do you think anything has be fallen him?” asked the landlady. • I think it more likelv that he has run away,” said Cromwell. “He seemed to be very quiet and gentlemanly,” said Mr. Manton. “Xo doubt he seemed so,” said Cromwell, “but his guardian when he confided him to my charge, in formed me that he was a hard case, but exceedingly artful, so that no one would suspect it. He was op posed to coming West with me. and my impression is, that he has started for New York secretly. 1 shall put up a notice calling for information. If I receive none 1 shall be compelled to go on to Xew York myself and give information to his guardian of his sudden disappearance.” • You will be compelled to leave your business. I should think that would be inconvenient,” said Mr. Manton. [TO BE CONTIXCED. ] Agreed lo Dip Dt!iprs Braves. The recent death of Jack Odell, the oldest grave digger in Passaic count ,-. Now Jersey, brought to light an agreement entered into fifty years ago. when Undertaker Hiram Gould interred the first body in the Sandv Hill cemetery. Odell, who was then the only grave digger in the neigh borhood, agreed with Mi-. Gould to dig his grave and drive his hearse if the undertaker should die first. Mr. Gould made the same agreement with Odell, and also said he would pay the funeral expenses if Odell died poor. Odell visited Gould’s estab lishment about a year ago and said lie had saved enough to pay for his funeral, and turned the mono,- over to the undertaker. Odell died a few ! days ago. Mr. Gould who is nearly ■s 1 years old. dug the grave digger’s grave and drove the hearse to the cemetery.—New York Press. Of Coi'.rsp.

Then she brightened up with hope as a bright idea struck her. “Then, mam ma,” she queried plaintively, “won’t you please give me a pill?” That baby got a generous slice of buttered bread, despite all obstacles, after that remark.—Washington Star.

In his right hand is his sword; his left hand strokes his long waving heard. Contrary to all other figures of the old hero, he is here represented as an actual emperor, with the features of a noble man. The whole monument, hewed from the rock, will be about eighty feet high.
