SLEEF.
"For Sleep is awful."-BYRoN

Man md all animals, are, by nature SO consti-
tuted al 10 need a certain amount Of that kind Of
rest. if il can be 50 termed, called sleep The
system is overcome as it were by exertion and ex.
ercise, and nothing hut sleep will recnsItate IT.
The curtain Of night is gently drawn round US
and unconscious Of all that may be passing, We
gradually, and without knowing the precise time,
fall into a deep slesp
There are various hypotheses upou this subject.
Perhaps the most reasonable ono is, that the diff
roreut portions Of the body become insenslble at
different times. The sense Of hearing appears to
he the last on the alert, and when the eyes are
closed ahA every thing is composed to rest, the
slighrest noise sill disturb the slumberer.
After all the troubles and trials and vexations
ofthe day; an hour spent in thought BY the cheer
full frcslde, prepares man for that rest his body
requires; and the morning finds him fresh for
toll. cheeriulness in hi' air and aacrityi his gait
True, often the houseess wretch wande With.
out shelter, unable to find that refreshnent
which God hasvouchsafed even to the brutes that
perish, but unavoidable instances are rave. In the
embrace OF sleep we forget pain and pleasure,
sorrow and Joy, dlscord and harmony. And
although many complain Of WEAKNESS and IasSl'
,ude, Of troubles and trials, of difficulties and dis
appointments yet all can partake Of

ENLARGEMENT OF THE BATrEEY.-lf there ever
existed any doubts IN the community on the I'M
yIopreiy and the absurdity of wasting the resour-
ces of our overtaxed people, in carrying out the
absurd project Of enlargng the Blttery, for the
benefit Of few spectators and interested per-
sons, those doubts have been removed by the able
report Of the minority of the committee of the
Common Council to whom the subject was refer
red recently That report puts down, as the low
est estimate at which the work could be carried
out, the immense sum Of S337 ,462 and some cents
to say nothing Of incidental expenses, such as
fencing, tagging, &c, which would swell the sum
total to nearly four hundred thousand dollars.
Now, this is the job, which its advocates assert,
could be effected at little or cost to the city
treasury. The report justly remarks, that il the
city has funds to spare for ornamental purposes,
let those funds be expended for park or parks in
the eastern and western portions of the city,
where now there are no parks, and where they
will be acceptable TO the dense population which
resides IN the vicinity.
We hope this foolish and ridiculous scheme Of
speculation and public plumber will receive no
further consideration. There are many improve.
mens that are mperatively called for, by the grow
ing wants Of the metropolis, and on which the
public money might be judiciously and proitably
expended One Of the most important Of these is
the erection Of spacious market, Of stone, brick
or other durable material, Of the height Of two or
three stories, on the site Of the present Washing
ton market The business Of this market is greater
than that Of all the others together, and is
ing daily. II il so much crowded with stalls
stands, baskets, &c, &c, that It is with great
difficulty !, can be approached, and when once in,
eeress is about as difficult, as ingress. Now, here
IL an Improvement which Is imperatively called
for and one that would not only pay handsome
interest on the sum necessary to carry II out, but
also be perpetual source Of income and profit to
the cry treasury. Whenever it shall happen Of
the e,travsgance and corruption Of politicians do
not preclude all possibility OF such contingency
that there are funds in the city treasury that might
be spent without inconvenience, let them be APP
proprated to a work like this, that would conduce
to the benefit Of thscommunity at large, and pay
a handsome interest besides, and not for the pur-
pose Of carrying out the views and purposes Of a
few interested spectators, jobbers and contractors
The present Washington market Is a disgrace to
the city. These, views Of public improve
ments, and we have no doubt they will be respond
ed to by the public at large.

The INVASION OF CUBA AND OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
"A short time since, as our readers are aware, we
perpetrated high crime-an actual felony without
benefit of clergy, laying before the public, in ad
vance of all our contemporaries, North, South, East
and West, some interesting and very important in
tellgence concerning the organization, in this coun-
try, of an armed expedition TO invade Cuba, and
assist the inhabitants of that beautiful island in
achieving their political independence, and sever
ing the bonds which connect them with lazy, inn
beetle, and degenerate Spain. This important intel
lgence we published exclusively, and 80 asiound-
ing was it, that but few of our contemporaries dared
to transfer il to their columns, lest il might not be
rue. Soon afterwards, however, General Taylor's
proclamation appeared, substantiatlng our state
ments, and our disappointed and much chagrined
cetemporares awoke to the conviction that we had
out-manGuvred them-that we caught them nap
ping. In the agony of their despair and ire, they
one and all, like parcel Of snarsh ours, bark at
the Herald, and renew the old dodge of assailing
1t for the purpose Of covering their defeat. But the
trick Is worn threadbare. The public understand
il, and our amable and defeated contemporaries
may 60 on barking and snaring till they make them
selves hoarse, for all we care. We plead guilty to
the crime-to the ielonious transaction OF publish
ing that important intelligence in advance, and we
shall recommit the crime as often as we can. We
have beaten them often, and we shall do so again.
Put that in your pipes, and smoke it,
