Dee. lo, 'mi ROMANS EYE BALSA For Inflamed Eyelids. rnllF delicate structure of the eyelid renders it po 1 cnliarly sensitive and liable to disease. When, from any cause, it becomes affected, the inner mem brane rapidly iutlimes, and the eyelid evinces the strongest predisposition to attract to itself humors from all parts of the body. Hundreds of persons of scrofulous habit are disfigured by rawness or redness of the eyelids, commonly called sore eyes, and tor tured with apprehensions of impaired vision, who, by using this L. SJlAf, may obtain almost imme diate relief. In alt cases, the earlier this remedy is applied the better, la cases where the EYELIDS ARE INFLAMED, or tin ball of the eye thickly covered with blood, it acts almost like magic, and removes all appearances of inflammation alter to two or three applications. There is a numerous class of person-i that art pecu liarly exposed to accidents or diseases that weaken and Inflame the Eyes, and perhaps destroy the sight, such as Miners? Mechanics, and other operatives in metals, who; from the nature of their employments, are compelled to work in a cloud of dust and grit. Such should never he with out this Balsam.

And sat on a rock aud bobbed for a whale.

Presently the Scribe shouts, "Fee got one'"' W hereupon lie arises, and standing upon on.- leg on the washboard like an acrobat, he pulls in with such .energy of purpose and dexterity that when the fish gets away, which it does about ten feet from the boat, he has cast some nine coils of his line around his neck, to say nothing of a foot or two which he lias insancl packed into his watch pocket. In another moment the Ancient and I each strike a fish and follow the Scribe's example alwa-.s ex cepting the st Hiding on one leg on the washboard I pulled in my fish with such ''close attention to bus iness that if Sam had'nt watched me and ducked I would infallibly have knocked his head olf and who would have taken us home then ? His agility could'nt save him, however, from a " visitation." as the fancy call it, from the Ancient's eight-pounder; but the blow not being fatal he went about ajrain, and for two hours wo were as industrious as Satan is popularly supposed to be daring a i heavy blow. Just as fast as we could throw out just so fast we pulled them m. "All things were favorable to us. ' It blew just a blue-fish breeze we had the best boatman on Long Island shore to sail us the fish were raven ous and the day was cool. All at ouco the An cient s.utl, "i he fish have let up a Utile, (we were catching one every three minutes i.irtead of one every two,) I believe I'll eat a clam." And then and there, with the fish crying out -'catch us !" aid the breeze saying Wll help you, he abandoned his line and ate seven clams ! So much for Fire Island appetite. At the end of two hours we paused. The boat looked like a butcher's stall the skippers was spat tered from head to foot 3ur fingers were bleeding ar d our clothes were red with tfore the Ancient had eaten up ail the clams and so first we weut about, and then we went home. On the way we "took account of stock," where upon the gratifying result appeared that we had on hand one hundred and twenty seven blue-fish, weighing, as afterwards ascertained, ten hundred and twciity-sovrt.i p.unds, to say nothing of five or six little two pound fellows, which were thrown overboard to lighten the bo it. How many more we would have taken but for the clain-erousness of the Ancient I do not know. So we sailed home to Mrs. Dominy's oyster pies, which were something superhuman, smoking our pipes, clothed and in our rigat minds, a little fatigu ed and very hungry. Does the trout fisherman dare to compare his sport with ours ? Is there any comparison between his line and oar be 1 cords his fly and our three pound s.juiJs his creel and our cat boat ? And as much as our apparatus was grander than his, so much giander was our sport. If he caught ten pounds of fish he esteems it a good daj-s sport, and his shoulders ache vehemently beneath the weight of his fishing basket. I need not ask him where he would stow one thousand pounds of pisces, for if he should catch but one fish in size like unto our leviathan, which weighed thirteen pounds six ounces, he would be in the position which the till gamekeeper suggested the probability of Mr. Win kle's attaining, if he accidentally knocked over Mr. Pickwick in :u:d little eccentricity of gunning : that of having filled his game bag, and something over, at one .shot. The' who pine in ''pruce' jn old age. their youth can nvcr look A STIL1GE STOEY. A young man, named Pesty, a farmer of Beaunc-la-liollande, in the Loriet, was tried recently, for robbery and attempted murder. The following story was told in evidence : A shepherd, named Masson, was in the evening of the 1st of Septemocr I last, driving a flock ot two hundred and tifty sheep from JJrausles to a place beyond Nemours. At some distance from the latter town he was overtaken by a man in a light cart, who, putting his horse into a walk, expressed admiration of his tiock, and got into conversation with him. . Having ascertained the di rection in which he was going, the stranger drove ori to Nemurs, and after the shepherd had passed that town, again over-took him, and descending froa the" cart, began chatting with him.. After a while on nass n through a wood, he suddenly arew a i double-barrel pistol from his pocket, and discharged ue suuptieru, wounuing mm u im wim id in tlie nectk. wnu matui he beat him about the heda r;trtl Thi shrhftril fell : pistol again at hini, wounded him again, and left him. fdas.'On remained senseless for some time ; when he recovered, he found that his flock had dis appeared, hut that his dog was by his side, licking ins wounds. He managed to crawl to a neighbor ing farm-house, and had his wounds dressed. The geudarmes were out on the sce.it, and soon learned ihat a man whose appearance corresponded with the description which the shepherd gave of his as sailant, a few hours after the attempted murder ar- riveu at a place called Chateau-London, with a nock of two hundred and fif'y shep, and had there placed them under the enre of one Jiune, shenherd to Pesty, Jr., of Be: une-la-Itollande, who was driving a flock of one hundred sheep from Bransles for his master This Lejeune was found at Beaunc-la-llol- lande with the two hundred and fifty sheep, and he stated that it was his master himself, young Pesty, who had confided them to hiin. lie added that. Pesty. on arriving1 at the village, h id joined him, and remarked "1 shall get into trouble about those two hundred and fifty sheep; they are stolen, and the shepherd who was driving them has been mur dered!" Lijeune further stated' that Pesty made a similar statement to his Pesty's father, on which the latter, with great emotion, ciied out, "If it bf you who have committed the crime, the best thing you can do is to kill yourself!" On th.it young Pesty took to flight, and was no more heard of un til arrested a Calais. The shepherd recovered from his wounds, and believes his recovery mainly owing to the dog having licked them. Pesty, after some vain denials, admitted his guilt. The shepherd was the principal witness against him, and created some sensation. The jury declared Pe.-ty guilty, with extenuating circuin.-t ances !, and the Court con demned him to hard labor for life, also to pay 6,00Uf. damages to the shepherd. HERMIT OF THE MOUNTAINS. Wilburn Waters, of the hermit of Pond Mountain, in the White Top region of Virginia lately killed four bears within three weeks, one of them exceed ingly large.

Narrow Escape of Napoleon. In his visit to the field of battle at Montebello, tho Emperor Na poleon narrowly escaped being made prisoner. He had pushed on as far as Casteggio, and was observ ing with his telescope the movements of the enemy between Barbiauello and the Portico del Stella, j upon the Po, when suddenly a detachment of Aus- ' which would, he hoped, be of great benefit to the trians presented themselves before him, only two public. "The Emperor," he s lid, "is my friend, and hundred paces distant.

Directly, however, the EmpcYor saw them ! the Emperor's heart, but of the gas and wati r ap he changed color, threw away his cigar, drove the j paratus I hope we shall soon hear more."

A Tough Story. The village f B was of- ten visited by flocks of wild geese, which occasion ally stopped overnight, and continued their journey next morning. They cime one intensly cold winter night and settled down on farmer H 's fi-ld. He was in want of fame and anxious to se cure some, but not having ammunition he did not not know what to do. After deliberating a long tune, and when about to give up the idea of taking some of the geese, a plan struck him, which he con cluded to adopt forthwith. He went to his pond, opened the floodgate, and let the water run slowly on his field till it was covered to to the depth of an inch arid a half. In the morning, when the geese attempted to fly away, they found to their great astonishment that they were frozen in. The Jews.

The old Bour bon law decreed that the exercise of no other relig on save the Roman Catholic couid be tolerated.

But it did not suit the haughty duke, as the antecedents of the young gent was too well known ; and, in fact, he proved the prophetic views of his .ather-in-law to be true, as a week brought about a ow with the bride, wliieh was nearly temiuatiii he honeymoon by a separation. Death and a Nakkow Escape. Two men in France lately took shelter in a barn for the night In the morning one of them was found dead, ith severe injury to the head. The comrade was at once arrested, and told some "cock and bull'' story about the terrible storm on the night in question and attribltedhis companion's death to the effect of a thun derbolt. He wae not credited, and was on a fair way to be executed for the supposed crime. A scientific gentleman, hearing of toe circumstances examined the place, and found a hole in the roof of tna oarn, an ajroiue close ro trie spot, wuero me ie- ceased nad 6lept on the nJglit in question. me nnocence of tho accused was at once considered as .stablished, and he was released.

But this is not all. There is to be a Tand hotel erected near the opera house, to be call ed ih Hotel of the Open, which will be the l argest establishment of the kind in Europe. The Champs Elysees are also about to undergo a transformation. Several large mansions in theCiiarnJ' Elyse.-; have been purchased by a well-known company, and are to betaken down to make -ay or a gigantic phalan stero.. On the site of another is to be erected a vast riding-school, which will be a monument of art, and the largest building of the kind ever constructed. The trees in the Park Monceau are being felled to the ground. Its grass-plats and flower-gardens are being covered with charming villas and romantie looking cottages and small hotels, handsomely de corated.

Emvrton. Cost of FnENcn VYau Steamships. According to a letter from Cherbourg, a steamship of the line, of the first class, tarrying one hundred and twenty guns, costs three million two hundred thousand francs; a steam frigate of fifty or ixty guns, about one million eight hundred thousand francs; a s earn corvett of twenty -six or thirty guns one million four hundred thousand lrancs ; a t-tcam cutter of t.-u guns, seven hundred thousand francs. So that li fleet composed ot eighty steamships of the line, fifty frigate.-, thirty corvettes, and sixty cutters, would be worth four hundred and ten millions of francs. But this, (remarks a Paris correspondent,) is a tri fling expense compared with the cost of a similar navy composed of steel cased vessels. A steamship carrying one hundred guns, and cased steel would cost seven millions of francs. The Value of Acclkacv. Accuracy is nn inva riable mark of good training in a man. Accuracy in observation, accuracy in speech, accuracy in the transaction of affairs. What is done in business must be well done; for it is better to accomplish perfectly a small amount of work than to half do ten times as much. A wise man used to say, "Stay a little, we ma- make an end the sooner." Too little t.ttenlioii, however, is paid to this highly im portant quality of accuracy. As a man eminent in practical science 1-itely observed to US', It is aston ishing how few people I have met in the course of my experience who can define a fact accurately." Yet, in business a flairs it is the manner in whioh even small matters are transacted that often decide men for or against you. Wih virtue, capacity, and good conduct in other respects, tlie person who is habitually inaccurate cannot be trusted; his w.-ii, has to be done over again, and he thus , aus. s i-.-.Z leas annoyance, vexation, and trouble.
