.SLepimg. Sleeping after dinner is bad prac-
tice. On awaking from such indulgence, there is
generally some degree OF tebrlle excitement, IN
consequence OF the latter stages of digestion being
hurried on. 1t is only useful in old people, and
some cases OF disease. Sleep becomes whole
some only to the healthy when taken at those
hours pointed out by nature; an excess OF 1t pro-
duces lassi,nde and corpulency, and utterly deba-
and s,upeies the mind. Corpulent people
should sleep little, aud upon hard beds, while they
should take abundance of exercise and live abste-
miously, that their unhealthy bulk may be re-

Seueye Sentence Of a u. s. Soidter.-WiIliam
Gay a private in Company b, OF U. S, Dragons,
at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, was recently absent
two days, and then voluntarily returned when he
was brought before court-martia for desertion.
To this charge he plead guilty and was sentenced
to forfeiture of all pay and allowance due to him,
to be branded on the hip with the letter ID, to re-
ceive fifty lashes on the bare back, well laid on
with raw hide, have his head shaved and be
drummsd out OF the service, The sentence was
duly carried out, although writ OF habeas corpus,
sued out by bis mother Mrs. Ann Wood, of AL
ton H., had been issued to obtain his discharge,
he being u minor. The sentence, according to the
StLouis ln,sigencer was inflicted about daylight
on the 22d ult., and few hours subsequent the
habeas corpus was returned TO the court, with an
endorsement from Major Anders n, that he had
no such person as VIM. Gay in his command
The lnteligencer does not voucl Tor the truth OF
all the rumors, out says they have created cohsld-
cradle excitement, and that SUIT on behalf Of Gay
is to be brought against Brigader General Clark,
and the damages will be laid at $4,000.

caused the apple to fall to the earth, extend
ed to the moon; yet this question and its
solution was the key that has unlocked the me-
chanism of the universe, and given to man,
powers and ideas, which could otherwise never
have existed.
The great truth these examples inculcate is
this-that there is nothing triaing in nature,
nothing that is not worthy of attention and re-
lection, nothing that does not form part of the
great chain of cause and effect and consequent
ly capable of leading to the most valuable and
interesting events. There is feeling abroad,
that it forms no part of the business of the til
Ter of the soil to think. This is not true, and
the position should be exploded at once. 1t is
scarcely possible for man to be more favora-
bly, situated for an observation of nature than
farmer His business is with the soil he
treads upon, with its various constituents and
their ever-varying proportions-wi the green
earth, and its covering of grapes and plants, its
trees and its 1owers-while over head is stretch

ful reflection, and urging him to "look through

I WANT TO GO HOME.

81 want to 60 home !" saith weary child,
That hath lost its way in straying;
Ye may try In vain TO calm its fears,
Or wipe from Its eyes the binding tears,
It looks in your face still saying
"Iwant to go homeT
"I want to to home" saith a fair young bride,
In anguish of spirit praying;
Her chosen hath broken the silver cord
Hath spoken harsh and cruel word,
And she now, alas is saying
want to go homeP
81 want to 60 homer saith the weary soul,
Ever earnest thus It's praying;
II weepeth tear-heaveth sigh
And upward glanceth with streaming eye
To its promised rest, still saying

STATE FAIR.-As the time approaches for
the State Fair, we hope the great agricultural
interests in the interior are making extensive
preparations to attend, as we understand they
are. From what indications we have, we think
this year will eclipse entirely the former fairs in
this State.
Mr.. J. G. Holmes, the active and able Secre-
tary of the State Society, is busy in making ex-
tensive preparations for the occasion. The
grounds will be on the Cass Farm, and much
larger than those used two years ago. The AL
dermen, we understand, have agreed to furnish
the Police for the occasion free, which will re-
lieve the Society of quite an item. We learn
that the ladies are preparing to have their indus
try, taste and handiwork, well represented on
that occasion. Detroit Advertiser
