Slccp.-Few of our readers, perhaps, are aware, that the human body falls asleep by degrees, according to M. Cabinis, French physiologist "Thc muscles of the legs and arms lose their power before those which support the head; and these last sooner than the muscles which sustain the back and he illustrates this by the cases of persons who sleep on horseback, or while they are stand ing or walking" He conceives that the sense of sight sleeps first; then the sense of taste, next, the sense of smell, next, that ol hearing; and lastly, that of touch. He main- tains, also, that the visccra fall asleep, one after another, and sleep with different degrees of soundness.

WH mscfM to q Conmander.-Ia Fayette had a quarrel with batallion of the Nation al Guard OH the subject of drill, they consid- ering the manual exercise as an infringement of the Rights of Man.
 The general being of the contrary opinion, adepulaton of corporals, for anything higher would have looked too aristocratic, waited on him at the quarters of his staff, in the Place Vendome, 10 demand his immediate resignation. On further inquiry he ascertain cd that all the baallions, amounting to thirty thousand men, were precisely of the same sentiments. Ncxtmorning happened to have been appointed for general review of the National Guard. La Fayctc appeared on the ground as commandant at the head of his staff, and after n gallop along the line, sud- denly alighted from his horse, and, taking musket on his shoulder, to the utter astonish- ment of everybody, walked direct into the centre of the line, and took post in the ranks. Of course all the field officers flew up to learn the reason. "Gentlemen," said he, ssI am tired of receiving orders as commanders iil-chief, and that may giro them, become a prirafe, as you see.n
 The announcement was received with shout of merriment, and, as in France q pleasantry would privilege man to set fire to church, the general was cheered on all sides, was rcmounted, and the citizen army, suspending the '.Rights of Man'' for the day. proceeded to march and maneuvre according 10 the drill framed by despots and Kings

from the French Consul in Dublin, and Am bassador in London. From her long ab- sence, 1t was concluded that she had been killed at the battle of Waterloo, and, in con- sequence, the name of this woman, so worthy of the order of the legion of honor, was not retained in the list of members. She even- tually obtained from Charles K pension of two hundred and eighty francs but the reyo- luton of July, so beneficial to others, did but add to the misiortunes of Breton Double, who was deprived of the means of subsistence granted to her by the King. Services such as hers could not, however, in justice, be passed over unrewaFded and in 1883 or 1854, the widow Ponset was informed that the Minister of War was in expectation of being enabled to satisfy all the demands she had on her country for her long and faithful services, by readmittng her to the order of the cross of honor, and by bestowing on her the pension of a wounded quartermaster, and also the widow of captain
 The following sentiment, which she often uttered under her sad trials, will manifest the character of this extraordinary woman: 'sAl- though my fortune is humble, my heart is elevated.0
 The son of Breton Double obtained high rank In the dragoons, and accompanied the Emperor to Elba.
 Reader, should you meet at Greonoble a female painfully moving on cruthes, body humgled by grief and wounds, this is Breton Double-salute her; respect should ever be paid to the unfortunate and deserving.

II broken hcdrt.-People talk an evcrlast- fng sight of nonsense about wine, women, and horses. Eve bought and sold 'em all, Eve traded in all of them. and I fell you. there amt one III u thousand that knows q grain about either on lem. You hear folks say, Oh, such man is an ugiv-crained crit ter, he'll break his wifc's heart, jist as if a woman's heart was as brittle as pipe stalk. The female heart, as far as my experience goes, is Jist ikea new India rubber shoe; yot may pull and pull as it stretches out a yard long, and then let go, and it will fly right back 10 its old shape. Their hearts are made of stout leather, tell you; there's plaguy sight of wear in 'cm.
 never knowcd but one case of broken heart, and that was in to'thcr sex, one Wash mgton Banks. He was sneezer. He was tall enough to spit down on the heads of your grenadlers, and near about high enough to wade across Charlestown river, and as strong as tow boat. guess he was somewhat less than foot longer than the moral law and catechisn too. He was perfect pictur of man; you couldn't falt him in no partic- ular; he was so just made crtter, folks used to run to the winder when he passed, and say there goes Washington Banks, beant he lovely? l do believe there wasn't gal i'll the Lowell factories, that want in love with him. Sometimes at interinission, on Sabbath days, they aif came out together, (an amazin hanson sight too, near about a whole con grega'ion ef young gals) Banks used to say, ''i VOW young ladies, wish had five hun dred arms to rcciprocatc one with each of you; but reckon have heart biq enough for you all, it's a whapper, you may depend, and every mite and morsc of 1t at your ser vIcc Well, how do you act, Mr. Banks. half thousand little clipper-cIappcr tongues would say, all ut the same time, and their dear little eyes sparkling, like so many stars twinkln of frosty night.

Scenes of CirH War.-Jourden, (sur- named by himself s'the headsman,o) led the remains of his army back to Avignon, and demanded immediately supplies in money and ammunition. These were refused by the members of the municipality, on which the ruffian withdrew his force, laid waste the surrounding country, again succeeded to Car pantras, and bombarded 1t with red hot balls. Once more he was repulsed with great loss, by means of a singular stratagem. The bri- gands had encamped at some distance from town in a plain, whence they fired their red hot balls. The inhabitants carried large pots full of pitch to the tops of the highest houses and setting fire to the pitch, raised dismal cries as soon as the pots were in full blaze. The brigands, conceiving that their balls had taken effect, and that the cries were those oi despair, triumphantly advanced to force their way into the place, when masked battery suddenly poured upon them discharge of grape-shot with such effect as to drive them back to their camp. Jourden ordered his ca valry to bring in the dead and wounded and the way ill which they performed this opera ton was worthy of such force. One end of cord being fastened round wounded man, the other was tied to the horses crupper and in this manner they dragged their man. gled comrades. behind them at full gallop, till they were out of reach of the cannon of the town.

Ihe Quaker's letter 10 his acatch-makcr- l herewith send thee my pocket clock, which standeth greatly in need of thy friendly cor recton. The last time that he was at thy friendly school, he was not in the least de- gree reformed or benefited thereby, for per- ceive by the index of his mind that he is a liar, and that the truth is not in him.

Do thou reg ulate and govern his motion for the time to come by the motion of the light that ruleth the day, and when thou fndest him corrected from the error of his ways, and more con- fornable to the aforementioned rules, do thou send himhome with just bill of charges, drawn out i'll the spirit, of moderation.

INTERESTING CEREMONY IN FRANCE

INTERESTING CEREMONY IN FRANCE.
 An interesting ceremony took place, in Paris, on a late anniversary of the birthday of the Emperor Napoleon. It commenced al the Hotel des invalides, where the sury- wing veterans of the old Imperial Guard, wearing the ancient uniform, amounting in number to about 160, of whom 120 wore the Cross of the Legion of Honor, which many of these had received from the hand of the Emperor himself, marched at eight in the morning to the chapel, where a mass ap- propriate to the day was performed. Then they went to the apartments of the Governor, where they were received by General Petit, their old companion ill arms, who displayed to them the standard which led the small troop that followed the Emperor to the Island of Elba The veteran band then divided into companies of 25 each, and proceeded to the Place Vendome, where they all marched twice round the column in mournful silence This done, they separated in two bodies, one going to Neuilly, and the other to Veudanges de Bourgogne, at each of which places a banquet was prepared for them These pro- sessions were all followed by crowds oi people, but not the slightest disturbance or misadventure occurred.

That ''honesty is the best policy,'' was H. frustrated some years since, under the follow ing circumstances A lad was proceeding 10 al Uncle's, to petition him for his sick sister and her children, when he found a pocket waletconiaining $50 The aid was re- fused, and the distressed family were pinched with want.

Aooid QnarreHing.-There is much good sense in the following, which, though old, deserves to be repeated at least once year:
 If anything in the world will make q man feel badly, except pinching his fingers ill the crack of a door, 1t is quarrel. No man ever fails to think less of himself after, than he did before one; it degrades him in the eyes of all , and what is worse, blunts his sensibility to disgrace, on the one; hand, and increases his temper. and passionate irri- ability on the other. Tie truth Is, the more quietly aad peaceably we all get on, the bet< tar-the better for ourselves, the better for our neighbors. In nine cases out of ten the wisest course is, if man cheat you, quit dealing with him, if he be abusive, quit his company if he islander you, take care to live so that. nobody will believe him. No matter who he is, how he misuses you, tho wsest way is just to let him alone for there is nothing better than this Cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we meet with.n
