METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was seasonably well, but not to sal
heavily, supplied with beasts, in somewhat improved con'
dition. All breeds sold briskly, at an advance in the quota-
tions, compared with Monday, of 4d per 81bs, the general
top figure being 5s 4d per 81bs. The show of sheep was
only moderate, and the mutton trade ruled firm, at very
full prices. A few very inferior Downs realised 5s 8d per
81bs. Calves, the supply of which was tolerably good,
changed hands slowly, at late rates. There was more doing
in pigs, at very full prices ; but milch cows were much
neglected.

EARLY RISING.—I do not believe in the pleasant'
ness of turning once more in one's bed, when the house i 0
once astir. The sense that one ought to be np, and must b°
up presently, must spoil the luxury of bed completely. Fear
ruins everything in these small matters as in greater.
once heard a young lady of twenty or thereabouts complain'
ing of the misery of having to get up in winter. She did
not rise early ? No. She did not use cold water ? 0, n
of
She had a good fire ? Yes. While I was wondering, where?
then, the hardship lay, she explained that it spoiled all
obete
comf( rt in waking to think of crossing the room from t.h-
bed to the fire. Such people can know nothing of the sat
faction of a good circulation, and the vigorous exercise Of
the frame, by which the winter is made a pleasant season
in its own way.--Once a Week,.
