The Sight

THE SIGHT.—Persons living in the cities begin to wear glasses earlier than country people, from the want of opportunities of looking at things at a distance. Those who wish to put off the evil day of spectacles, should accustom themselves to long views. The eye is always relieved, and we see better, if, after reading awhile, we direct the sight to some far-distant object even for a minute. Great travelers and hunters are seldom near sighted. Humboldt at eighty-seven could read unaided. Sailors discern objects at a great distance with considerable distinctness, when a common eye sees nothing at all.
