4 Snorer.s Troubles.

A pale melancholy looking man, of forty or there
abouts, was brought up on the too common charge
of sleeping out of doors. He did not look like per-
son of Incorporate habits and the Waterman inclined
to the belief that he not drunk at the time he
detected in the offence of sleeping the pavement
At the request of the Mayor, the prisoner told his
story; and the following is outline of the singular
narrative:
''Ny name, (said he, } is Moses White. am an
innocent man. My misfortune all arose from habit,
over which have no control. II is sometimes said
mockingy of boys, that they are very good when
they are asleep" That observation never could APP
ply 10 me, for it was during my hours of slumber
that always gave most offence to my friends, rela-
tons, acquaintances and neighbors. Not 10 keep
you in supense, venerated sir, / snored, hideously,
horribly, systematically. The combined racket of
three saw-mills and five cotton factories could not
compare with the frightfu din produced by the pas
sage of the air through my breathing apparatus while
refreshed myself with tired natures sweet restorer
1.-THE age of eighteen, my father turned me out OF
DOORS declaring that such yllainous snoring could
not be permitted in any well regulated family.
After years of adversely and vicisSitudes, sue
ceeded in establishing myself in very good business
paid my addresses to lovely girl, welded her, and
alas the gentle creature never complained, but /,
wretch that am, knew what was wasting her away
Sir, it is horrible but the truth must be told my
happy young wife was snored to death! married
again, and after three weeks of nightly torment, my
second spouse sued for divorce She obtained one,
by proving that it was impossible for a woman to
sleep in the house which inhabited | sold my fur
niture and took lodgings; but never could remain
in any boarding house or hotel more than week.
My fellow dodgers, harrassed by my nocturnal dis
cord, always arose masse, and insisted my ex-
pulsim. Thus was hunted from all sleeping asso-
ciations and constrained at last to take my solt
airy nap, with roof but the cope of heaven, over
my head. But fate had not done with me yet; for
while sleeping in private street last night my
snoring so tremendous that il awakened hiswatch-
man, who was doing on bench half "a square off.
When they brought me 20 the station house, snored
the whole police force into kind of derun treHens
and il your honor sends me TO the Tombs, verify

Dark Hours.

There are hours, dark hours that mark the history
of the brightest year. For not whole month in any
OF the millions of the past perhaps has the shone
brilliant all the time. And there have been cold
stormy days in every year, when could be seen or
heard, for touching something that cheered the spirit
or gratihed our desire for the beautiful. And vet
the mist and the shadows of the darkest hours were
dissiPated, and fitted away. The cruelest of ice
letters have been broken and dissolved and the most
furious storm loses its powers to harm.
And what parable is all this of human life of our
inside world where the heart works at its destined
-labors. Here, too we have the overshadowings of
darkhours, and many cold blast chills the heart to
its very core. But what matters il. Man is born a
hero, and it is only by darkness and storms that
herosm gains its greatest and best Development and
iilustration-then, it kndles the dark cloud into
blaze of glory and the storm bears il more rapidly TO
its destiny. Despair not then. Never give up-while
one good power is yours, it. Disappointment
will be realized Notifying failure may attend this
effort and that one-but only be honest and struggle
on, and it will all work well, If in time, then in
eternity

Flax Cotton.

The London correspondent of the National Inteligen.
in his last letter. has the following passage fax
substitute for cotton matter that has great inter
est on this side of the water, at thi moment:
The question whether fax can be substituted to any
great extent for cotton has hzf Solved so far as "a
prove that the former may be spun by machinery which
has hitherto been used for the latter the fax having been
previously subjected TO process, mechanical chem.
ical partly both. Messrs. Chambers, of Edinburgh
say upon this subject:
All this is very we'll so far as it goes but one OF
two considerations convince that the proposed limo
vaton cannot be productive of either present ultimate
benefit. In the first place, the fax must be greatly
weakened In its natural state it consists of fibres M
teen to twenty-five inches long, and these shorten
ed 10 two inches, as they would require be-
is manifest that the strength of the yarn spun herelrom
would be materially diminished secondly there would
be advantage the OF economy, because fax
scarcely be called cheaper than cotonby weight
it's but when bear in mind its greater specific grav-
fty and heavier waste, well the attending the
proposed method OF preparations should find that Ill
matey II is not cheaper but the REVERSE lastly were
the system 20 become general has been apy observ-
ed the demand for flax thence resulting would
sary advance the already high price of that article,
andn the proportion cotton, being less in deman
would fall that at the very outset the substitution
would checkmate ITSELF and consequently cease Ii is
our belief them that permanent good result from
these experiments and think the evil complained OF
only be eecualy remeded by taking decisive steps
Tor extending the culture of cotton, large SCALE to
other lands and especially the British posses
sions in the East
tions but think the agitation of the subject will pro-
duce valuable result 1t will probably lead
raising from SOIL and to the great advantage Of
the agricultural interest the ninety thousand tons of flax
which we have hitherto been compelled to import every
year from foreign countries.

From the Baltimore clipper,l


lis midsummer evel the bright sun has descended,
And len the soft twilight finger awhile;
The rainbOw's bright hues in the blended
And beams DER the scene sofl, beautiful smile.
The plough boy vvhistng way DER the mountain
The herds are descending the hill to the plain,
And list tits the zephyrs at play in the fountain,
How sweetly they mingle their merrysome strain.
The mists are ascending from streanilet and river.
And lending haze to the mountain and glen.
And light, like a monarch when conquest is over.
Is folding in darkness its mantle again.
The shadows in wild, giant forms reposing,
And stretch from the forest that towers hard by,
While the flowers their beautiful petals closing
And bend their bright heads the zephyrs pass by
Dim echo is SOFT dreamy music is lending,
The fall of the Cataract heard from afsr-
While softly the dews of the hight are descending
Like the tears of some beautiful sorrowing star.
The stars. one by one. are timidy peeping
And brightly Arcturus looks down the scene
And DER he dim Earth bright vigil is keeping,
Though softly the light clouds are rolling between.
The bright moon is rising in all her full splendor
And spreading her beams the sumbering sea-,
And ringing with silver the light clouds around her.
And casting their shadows far over the lea.
And e'en the gay birds have folded their pinons,
And sleep meath the boughs in the forests dim shade;
But lonely and sadly nights sorrowing mniOns
Send forth their sad music from yon dreary glade
And thus may my life be an emblem of twilight
As peaceful and calm as it passes away;
Though sorrow and grief make il gloomy midnigh
May virtue bestow the bright halo OF day.

Music IN EvERxTHING.-The elements of
music are in everything around us; they are found in
every part of creaton-in the chirping of the feather
ed choristers of Nature, in the voices calls of
rious animals in the melancholy sound of the water
fall or the wild of the waves in the hum Of the
distant muttudes the conclusion of sonorous boz
dies in the winds alike when the dying cadence falls
lightly the ears as it agifates the trees of the
forest as when the hurricane sweeps around. All
these contain the rudiments of harmony, and may be

The boss was nonplussed. At dinner Jim piled
his knife and fork with remarkable industry. The
boss reminded him of bis morning text but Jim was

that whatever the hands find able to do that do with

Boss told Jim he was entirely too learned to chop
wood, and therefore very politely requested him to
take up his bed and walk.
