MOMENTS OF MELoDY.--Iremembero once upon
the margin of stream, in one of the low, shell
tered valleys on Salisbury Plain, where the monks
Of former ages had planted chapels and built her
mits' cells. There was a little parish church
near, but tall elms, and quivering;, alders,
hid it from sight, when, all on a sudden, WAS
startled by the sound of full organ pealing on
the ear accompanied by rustic voices, and the
willing choir Of village maids and children. 1t
rose, indeed "like an cxultation of rich distilled
perfume" The dew, from thousand pastures
was gathered in its saftness the silence of thou
sand years spoke init. 1t came upon the heart
like the calm beauty of fdeath fancy caught the

Sleep.

The Scientific American thus dscourses on the
subject of sleep:
No person of active mind should try to pre-
vent Sleep which in such persons; only comes
when rest is indispensable to the continuance of
health. In fact sleep once in twenty-four hours,
is us essential to the existence of mamnnalia as
the momentary respiration of fresh air. The
most unfavorabIe condition for sleep cannot pre-
vent its approach. Coachmen slumber on their
coaches aud couriers on their horses, while SOL
dcrs fall asleep Oh the field of BATTLE amidst all
the noise Of artillery and the tumult of war
During the retreat of Sir. John Moore, several
of the British soldiers were reported to have tal-
len aseepon the march, and yet they continued
walking onward. The most violent passions and
excitement of mind cannot preserve even power
ful minds from sleep; thus Alexander the Great
slept on the field of Arbcla and Napoleon on
that of Austerlitz Even stripes and torture can
not keep of Sleep as criminals lave been known
to sleep on the rack. Noises which serve at first
to drive away sleep, soon become Indispensable
to its existence thus stage coach stopping to
change horses, wakes all the passengers. The
proprietor Of an iron forge who slept close to the
din of hammers, forgcs and blast furnaces, would
awake if there was any interruption to them du-
ring the night and a sick miller, who had his
mill stopped on that account, passed sleePless
niyhts till the mill resumed Its usual noise. Ho-
mcr, in the Had, elegantly represents sleep as
overcoming all men, and even the gods, excep-
ting Jupiter alone.
The length of time passed in sleep is not the
same for all men; it varies in different iudvidu-
als and at different ages; but it cannot be deter
mined from the time passed in sleep, relative to
the strength or energy of the functions of the
body Or mind. From six to nine hours is the
average proportion, yet the Roman emperor !;
Caligua, slept only three hours, Frederck OF
Prussia and DR.. John Hunter consumed only iour
or five hours in repose, while the great sc'Pi0
slept during eight. a rich and lazy citizen Will

The Great are Failing from Us.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ.

BY T. BUCHANAN READ.
Tie great are falling from us-to the dust,
Our flag droops midway, full ofmany sighs;
A nations glory and a peoples trust
Lie in the ample pail where WEBSTER lies.
The great are falling from us-one by one,
As fall the patriarchs Of the forest trees;
The winds shall seek them vanly, and the sun
Gaze on each vacant space for centuries
Lo, Carolina mourns her stcadfast Pine,
Which like main.mast lowered above her realm ;
And Ashland hears no moro the voice divine,
From out the branches of her stately elm.
And Marshfcld's giant oak, whose stormy brow
Oft turned the ocean tempest from the West,
Lies on the shore he guarded long-and now,
Our startled Eagle knows not where to rest!

A SILLY MAN.-The local reporter Of the New
Orleans Picayune thus makes merry at some
simpleton who had committed the egregious fol-
ly of attempting to rob person connected with
the press:
"The man who bit off his own nose to spite
his face exhibited no greater piece of folly than
the individual who attempted night before last
to enter the private apartment of gentleman
connected with the reporting department Of the
city press Reporters are proverbially saving
and prudent race, and they know too much Of
the vanity of life and the insecurity of worldly
possessions to leave the latter in any locale where
they could become the property of any person
who might chose to carry them off q; ct armis.
ave remember an adventure of similar char
acter to the one we allude to above. It took
place some two years ago. and in this city. A
very staid and worthy member of the reportorial
corpse had his pockets picked by some inexperi-
enced and daring thief We say pockets in
the plural, because as the plunderer found moth
ing in the first one he searched he must have
gone through the entire half dozen in the press
mans garments before arriving at the one which
contained the prizeh he sought-a well-worn pock-
ct book As it Afterwards appeared, the light
fingered individual found in it only an odd pair
of black cotton shoestrngs memorandum about
"A dead body found floating, and the rhymes for
a coup Of verses, addressed to no lady in par
ticuar but evidently intended for the first who
should happen to bestrike the poets fancy. The
grave and sober reporter is not in the habit of
'pocketing' his spare funds, however he may treat

FERoc1rY OF GAIA fine child about ten
years of age, the daughter of Mr.. Cornwall a
superanuated methodist preacher residing at
Nuns Island in this town, came by her death,
this week, as we are informed, in very unusual
manner. 1t seems that amongst the domestic
animals of the house, this gentleman had cat
which was i'll the habit of lying upon his chill
dren when asleep and on recent occasion scratch
ed one Of them severely. The animal was, in
consequence, ordered to be drowned, and the SER
want accordingly tied stone to its neck and
flung it into the river. 1t was of course, sup
posed to be dead, but after week it re. appeared
at the house in very famished and wild-looking
condition. Having got into one of the upper
rooms, it was shut in there by the family, who
were terrified by its ferocious appearance, and
wished to starve it to death.
In short time, however, it got out of its pri-
son while the family were all at prayer with the
exception Of the deceased child who happened
to be asleep in the kitchen. The cat instantly
attacked her in the most furious manner, and be-
fore any assistance could be rendered, had torn
her face and throat so violently as to cause her
death in few days.-GalaOay Mercury.

The You've MEN oFTuE AGE.-Not long since
we saw tear gathering in the eye of an old man.
as he spoke of the past and the present-of the
time when he burned pine knots upon the rude
home hearth for light to obtain scanty educa-
tlon,, and compared the ten thousand privileges
which are now scattered broadcast around every
door. Oh said he, in tremulous tones, the Young
men of this day, no not appreciate the lig ght Of
the age they live in.
The words of the old man made us sad, while
at the time we felt mortified that so many of our
young men fail to improve the advantages within
their reach. They are even continually mutter-
ing about their lot, and pushing for positions
where they can win the reward without the
sMweetening M purifying, ennoblng sacrifice of toll.
The miscalled enjoyments of day, are eagerly
sought after to the exclusion or neglect Of the
more honorable intellectual and useful. In truth.
few of our young men know anything of the
value of the privileges around them.
