Tur. principle on which these specta

prized. Those who have felt the smart
ing, irritating pain consequent on use of
alt - spectacles, by gas-light, or even day-light
of ordinary intensity, will readily understand
that any invention that will overcome this
common trouble must bo hailed with do
light. •
From J. SOELDERG WELLS, • Prof. of
Ophthalmoology in King's College, Landon,
and Asa't Surgeon to L072(104 Ophthalmia
hospital:
...It is very desirable to combine a tint with the
use of convex and concave spherkellenses : in the
weaker numbers, this can be very effectually done ;
but, in the higher numbers, i t is difficult—for the
varying thickness of glass causes coneiderabledif
.ference in the tint in the centre and edges of the
lens."
Front A. ACKLAND, Surgeon. L. S. A.,
.F.R.3r.5., London:
The rotor of glass to be used in spectacles. in
one to which I have given some attention, and
Lave arrived at the conclusion that the /argue
amount of distinct vision, together with the least
smonut ofglare, is to be obtained by using a violet
tinted pebble, and to confirm the good opinion
lave formed of this peculiar color, I am enabled to
state that t t in now recommended as the most suit
able to be employed for weak vision, by the most
celebrated oculists of the day."

hard receding. He loaded her with
presents, and the poor girl of yesterday
Hashed in satin and diamonds, and
was • truly a beautiful as well as an
amiable bride.
The wedding tour over, John Ers
kine brought his wife proudly back to
a home he had purchased and had
luxuriously fitted up during their ab
sence, and his tenderness, and almost
worship, should have made any
woman happy. And tbr a time she
endeavored to believe she was so. Then
his very kindness and constant atten
tion amazed her, and the gilded rage
began to contain a restless bird, fur the
old heart-burning had only been
smothered, not extinguished.
Her quondam lover, she knew, had
also married, and was living an un
happy life. If she had sold herself for
luxury and freedom from care and toil
he had done the same, anti his yoke
•was unutterably the most galling anti
hard to be endured. His wile was
coarse, comparatively uneducated, im
perious, jealous, and not slow to accuse
him of living upon her money when
her temper was in the ascendency,
though at other times she was mawk
ishly sentimental and disgusted him
with fulsome adulation—expecting the
same in return.
- Under this his proud spirit chafed,
and the more so because he had found
how both he and Edith had been im
posed upon, and it needed but a smile
from her—a simple glance of the eye,
a warm pressure of the hand, to make
him forget all the allegiance tie vowed
at the altar. And such things unex-:
peeted to both.
Edith had just passed through the
first coolness with her husband. Et was
the result of a disagreement about a
matter of taste, and would have
amounted to nothing had not her
mother interfered. made a mountain
out of a mole-hill and blamed her
daughter unjustly and severely.
Frank Boylston, too, had just come
from a quarrel with his wife, a much
more serious affair. She had been
bitter in denunciation—accused hint
of not caring in the least for her—of
simply marrying that he might pos
sess himself of and squander her
money, and in general saying such
things as a woman always does when
she gives way entirely to passion. And
for the first time he had retaliated bit
terly—spaking of things that had bet
ter been ;left unsaid—wounding, her
pride anti creating a breach that would
be very hard to heal.
Both, therefore, were ripe for the
flashing up of the old love—and in
that state they met.
To be beyond the reproaches of her
foolish mother and the arguments of
her husband, Edith wandered front
the little village in which they lived
Think - how we are ..aietr—think
what wealth it will flring. and with
that NVCalth, onlifort, fashion and
luxury."
Edith Mason znade no ,reply to the
words of her worldly mother—in fact,

and her heart had almost gonoPieyond
her control. ,But her mother, taking
the silence for at least a partm4giving
in to her views, continued :
"You cannot have forgotten how
we have struggled to keep up 'appear
ances since the death of your father—
how we have literally lived frpm hand
to mouth—often not knowing where
the next meal would conic from—often
going to bed hungry, :And patching,
piecing and turning to in. • - or gar
ments appear decent."
"It has indeed been aha strug
gle," sighed the girl, thinkintt rather
of the il.d, than of the future.
"And one word from you 4411,put
an end to it. John Erskine Is very

swered, thinking of a youier and
fresher face.

bitter interruption.
"Edith, why will you not be reason

and romantic ideas from your mind ?
"I would do very much for you,
mother—very much—to have suffi
cient wealth to gratify my tastes—to

"It is the very thing I tan urging
you to do, child."
"And at what a price!"
But what had she to offer against be
coming the wife of John Erskine? No
man stood higher in the comtuunity—
was more generally respected. It was
true she might object to his age—being
double her own. Still he mitts not
more than forty, and was in the very

the world, and rendering hinelcif ob
noxious by his egotism. His manner
might be brusque, but it was sincere.
and the one love of his life would be
honest and fervent.
That love was Edith Mason.
And when her conversation with
her proud and unscrupulous mother
was finished, and she had retired to
the little chamber she called her own,
she sat seriously considering the
matter and weighing well her own
'heart.
) ,, he thought of Frank Boylston as
she arrayed herself in snowy garments
for the night . , and combed out her
long, silken hair of rippling chestnut,
and felt her face beaming with blushes;
thought of him in her dreams, and
fancy painted a bright and glowing
future. But the daylight dispelled all
illusions. She met him, as he passed
her coldly by, with a firm lip and a
frowning brow, and her heart sank
within her.
He had heard, for the mother of
Edith surmised that he stood in the
way of tier daughter's decision, and
cunningly forged and circulated the
story, that the girl lie loved was about
to throw herself away upon John Ers
kine; that she had, in tact, agreed to
barter k youth and beauty and love for
gold, And he crushed down all of affec
tion as with an iron heel, and almost
cursed her for a worthless changeling,
But this was not all. There was also
a story fabricated for her ears, and, in
the mad jealousy of the moment, 41). ,
believed it. Her false mother tool:
care that irshould:b&whispered to her
that him she loved had only been tri
fling with her affections; that he had
said she might do to pass an hour
with, but not to wed—was too poor for
that ; and that he was soon to marry
Mabel Armstrong, a rich faid vulgal•
woman, who was known to have be-en
sharply angling for him. Anti this his
actions appeared to attest, for that very
afternoon Edith saw them riding to
gether, and the girl, at least, was all
dmilw and honey.
Stung to the very quick by this,
Edith forgot tier better nature, wade

what she considered fate, but when
John Erskine came, and, in manly
eon-
to the banks of a beautiful river that
meamlered through it, si , ated herself
beneath the shade of the willows and
alders, and was giving way to bitter
thoughts of the "what might have
been." when she was soddenly joined
by Itoyiston, who hod come for the
same purpose of seclusion and thought.
"Edith "Fratil:!"
The namea were uttered simultane

without a single reflection us to the
imprudence of such an act they seated
themselves side by side, and the eon
versation, although guarded at first,
soon drifted into a warmer channel,
and the identity of wife and husband
became lost in the rush of Itehing and
symonthy.
"Eotith,' , he said, when th:t harrier
of•pride had become somew hat broken

"What else can we tin? I am a

have both made ourselves miserable it
was our own act, and we must pay the

"Not so,'' he answered, earnestly.

She was too pure to comprehend his
meaning—had never for a single mo

any change in her position--any re
laxing of the holy bonds of wifehood,
and sat silently and earnestly gazing
into his !lice, as he eontinued more
- and more to break duwu the barriers
between them.
"I mean separation. It is guilty fur
us to continue living in this manner."
"You mean," ,he questioned, very
slowly, as if endeavoring to grasp the
full purport of his words, "you mean
that I shuuld leave my husband 2 ,1
"Exactly—as I shall my wife.''
"And what then should I do?”
"'That is an after consideration. Let
me think.
He sat for a long time gazing into
her beautiful face and misty eyes, and
thinking how he could best unfold his
plans—ones that mid sprung up sud
denly in his mind. No cool, plotting
vitlian was ltoylstou, but a wan of
strong feelings—easily led away and
impulsive. The love he bore for the
fascinating woman by hip side was
rapidly driving away all other consid
erations. Still he remained sane
enough to feel the dangerous path
upon which lie was treading., and pon
dered how the end he had in view
might best be obtained.
"What you will subsequently do,"
he continued, "will, as I have said, be
an after consideration, though I could
instantly decide it for you. I urn de
termined to leave my wile--shall never
return to her. When we separated an
hour litany, though she little dreams of
su.•h a thing, it was tier the last time."
"You cannot mean this?" she ques
tioned, seeing that he waite,l tOr au
