February lat.
It has been raining for two days, and the
brook is wild with joy at finding itself at
liberty once more, after months of weary
imprisonment. It seems to entice the rim]-
lets of warm min into its course, and then
these fraternizing waters go rushiu down
toward the river in the mnddest gfee, rip-
pling, gurglinfi and foumhag, as if to mock
approachin catb; for, a moment after,
they take t elr last, long loop and are lost
forever in the broad and silent river! Thus
men loved to die ere He came to tell them
of the heron r. Now they’re loath to leap
so madly mto the jaws of death! They
pause and meditate and often kneel and
make their peace with God and man 2 then

interest in the little vessel. ight gnllnntly
she kept on her course through the drifting
ice. I trembled for the owners life! My
anxiet. must have alarmed Hector, for be
fixed liS intelligent eyes upon me and
whined impatiently,as if displeased with
himself or me. Of a truth my worst fears
were realized. Amuse of drifting ice struck
the little vessel and hurled her steersmzm
violently upon his back. The tiller was
wrenched from his grasp and in mother in-
stant, the beautiful yacht with a crash leaped
against the jaw edges of the ice-blocks
strewn along t e shore! I saw a man’s
lifeless form floating in the water, and then
all grew black before my eyes. I felt
deathly faint and dixzy; but. still I had time
to murmur: “ Now! Hecwr,good fellow !"
ere! sank to the ground as if my heart had
throbbed its last. When I awoke he was
kneeling over me and Hector was licking
my hands and whining piteously. I can

my life was ever saved and I am at a loss

brink of a watery grave calmed you to faint.

his proffered hand. and a flitting .«nilc lit up
his handsome face as he saw me rise so

the stranger, “he seems conscious of the

The Rumors of Studio Life.
In Old and New for May is this collection
of “Studio Notes”:
Studio life, notwithstanding its seclusion,
makes one acquainted with strange visitotn
I was just beginning the day’s work by
spouging a portrait which was almost finish-
ed, turning over paints and brushes,- and re
volviug several technical queries in my
mind, when a noise, akin to a knock, yet
more like an attempt to enter without
knocking, was heard. Not a well-bred knock
at. all events. I opened the door. A middle
aged man sloucbed in.
" Oh I I thought yc was shot up. You‘re
name's on the door, I take it, How long ye

“ Several years."
" Ye don't say !
real canvass ?”
Then pointing to a copy of Hunt’s Child,
in the “ Fortune Teller,” he asked :
“ What’s that on ?"
“ Academy~board."
“Pretty durable, hey? A kind of paste-
boanl, I suppose. Got any pictures to sell?
Though (apologetically) I suppose pictures
Do you paint in oils, on
‘are always for sale.“
“ Not always. However, what kind of a
picture are you looking for P \Vhat sort of
a subject 2’” '
“ Wal, it don‘t matter much. If I see
anything I like, I buy it. Are them finish<
ed ?“ incredulously pointing to some studies
in charcoal.
“ Those are sketches made with charcoal."
“ What! ‘Common charcoal?"
" A prepared kind of charcoal."
“ Don't call that finished, hey Y" running
his fingers over a head carefully copied from
Andrea del Sarto.
“ And that one, too i" Contemptuously.
“ IIOW rough ’tisl Face too dark, loo.—
Tain't done, is it l"
" Yes; the boy’s face was in a shadow.”
To appease my visitor,I produced some
copies sufficiently elaborate to be turned to
the wall in these later days, when we are
striving, so many of us, to avoid the sin of
over-modeling.
“ All I" said my visitor, walking toward a
marine picture, “ that's what I like! That’s
good Y Is it from nature? Don‘t think
much of yer make—up pictures. Wqu 'cm
straight from nature."
Mentally I shook hands with him over
that sentiment. The murinc view was
priced, somewhat to his discomfuurt‘, and
be begun to move nervously toward the
door, near which he espied a study of color
from Diaz.
“ Did you do that Y"
" Nu,"
“ \Vcll, ’tnin't no great of a picture.—
I’nintod quickly and carelessly."
Next, a grit-v landscape come in for criti-
cism. .
“ Kinder dull, ain‘t it .’ Needs cleaning
and varnishing, hey? What's this? rubbing
with his finger, “ a flaw in the canvass ?"
“ No; that's a man,“
In the name of high art, what was coming
next ? Apprehensions of something too
comical to withstand were ullayed by his
sudden exit. with the inquiry:
" Any more artists in this building l“
“ None whose doors are open to visitors.“

Curiosities of the Vision.
We pmume that most of our readers
have a general notion of the structure and
working of the human eye. They knbw
that the little sphere, of an inch or so in
diameter, which forms the eye-bull, is a
camera, essentially like the one used by the
photographer to throw the the image of ex-
ternal objects upon the surface prepnred to
receive it, and placed within the npparatus.
The mere forming of this picture inside the
eye. is not, however, seeing. Th’e picture
might as well be anywhere else, if there
were not some means of making the mind
aware of its existence. The optic nerve
answers this purpose—a branch of the brnin
which enters the eyes through a small hole
in the rear, and spreads out in a. delicate net
work over the surface whet-eon the picture
is formed. The impression made by the
rays of light upon the net-work of nerves, is
telegraphed to the mind,which then sees the
object, or rather, from seeing its image in
the eye. comes to recognize the existence of
the object itself outside the eye.
If the optic nerve should be severed, the
picture in the eye might be as perfect as be-
fore, but we would nevertheless be blind to
it. If any portion of the net-work of nerve
just mentioned should be paralyzed, we
would cease to see part of thepicture formed
on the portion of the eye’s inner surface.
If the entire image of some small object
should fall on that insensible spot, we could
no more see it, even though looking straight
at it, than if we had no eyes, or kept. them
shut. It is a curious fact that ther'is such a
“ blind spot" in every human eye ; and what
ianore curious it is found to be just where
the optic nerve enters the eye—the very
place which we might suppose would have
the keenest 'sight of all. ‘
Here is a. simple little experiment, by
which wecau prove the existence of this
blind spot in our eyes. Shut your left eye,
and with the right ‘one look steadily at the
cross just below, holding the paper ten 'or
twelve incbm from the eye.

Regulstions for Base Bull—this Sense
As the fraternity are quite anxious to be-
come posted in reference to the principle
points of the amended rule for them for
1871, we give the substance as follows:
1. The ball now weighs from five to five
and a quarter ounces. It measures nine
and a quarter inches in circumference, and
weight of rubber used in its composition is
just one ounce. '
2. The pitcher is now obliged to deliver
the balls to the bat, ‘ high’ or ‘ low,‘ a the
striker calls for it. If he asks for a low
ball then the ball must be pitched to him
between knee and waist, or balls will be
called. If he asks for a high ball they must
be sent in between waist and shoulder or
the penalty will be inflicted.
3 In case the striker calls for a low bull.
and fails to hit at the first low ball, for in
stance, pitched to him, then strikes must be
called on him. But a strike cannot be called
on the first bull pitched.
4. If a pitcher throws a bdl to the bat,
either in the ordinary way or by an under-
band throw, us so many do, then the umpire
must call balls on him for foully delivered
bulls, and after a sufficient number of bulls
have been called to give three runs, the
game becomes forfeited by the party whose
pitcher thus throws the ball. This does not
apply to ordinary baulks, however, but onlv
unfair delivery.
5. If the fence back of the catcher be
nearer the home base than ninety feet, every
passed ~bnll touching that fence gives the
base runners a base.
6. Any pitched ball touching the umpire
becomes a dead ball, and no man can be put
out. on such a ball, nor can a base be run on
it.
7. A player running from home to fitst
base is now allowed to over run his base,
providing that he does not attempt to run
to second, but returns to base directly.
8. The first game of a series having been
played. the return game must be played
within sixty days of the date of the first
game, or the game will be forfeited by the
club failing to play the challenging club.
The same, too, in the case of A third game.
9. Any member of the club who has been
expelled from his club for ‘ dishonorable
conduct‘—the rule does not define the term
—is prohibited from taking part in a match
game during the season of his expulsion.
10. With professional clubs the best three
in five constitutes a regular scrim of games
of a match. In the amateur association the
old rule of the bw two out of three still
prevails.
11. A ball being knocked out of the hands
of a fielder while touching : lose runner,
does not prevent the latter from being do.

12. In the amateur association no club
