The City of New York Asleep.
The following from the N. Y. Tribune,
is in the best vein of Dickens:
ut is curious to see the circulation of a
great city commence in the morniny--the
great city that had roared itself to sleep.
True, there was feeble pulse all night;
the cars beat to and fro; carriage now
and then gave Autter, but after all there
had been quiet hour. About half a
million of the people had been lying on a
dead levep' for four or FIVE hours; some
on pillows of down and some on curb
stones; some on counterpaines and some
beneath the great blue quilt of heaven
A queer fsure they mske in the minds
eye, to be sure-4)O, COO folks, more or
less, FIVE or six miles long-lying on their
back Lying in tiers or rows-lying three
or four deep. In the celIar--that is, in
the primitive foundation''--then frs
floor, second, third, and so on, up to the
garret. Three hundred thousand people
dreaming. Two hundred thousandin in red
niyhtcaps. One hundred thousand in
white, and here and there one trimed in
lace. Fifty thousand curls twisted up in
papers, giving tier owners disappearance
of having made a pillew of cigar lighters;
twenty thousand curls hanging on the
backs of chairs. or tossed upon tables
How gently Time touches such people
they never grow gray at all. Ten thou
sand people weeping, and now and then
one dying-dyins in Lis slecp-dying in
dream.
And then the getting up is ridiculous
enough; though going to bed-should we
say "retire" in these refined times?-is a
solemn place of business, whether people
think of it or not But the getting up,
the walking up, is funny enough for farce
its process aspecies ofgradualism. Here's
one who has slept "like top" for nine
solid hours, and now he begins to wake;
first it is half lurch. and long breath.
and yawn; then an arm is thrust out;
tken foot; the muscles are waking up.
Next the rattle of the early wagons strike
his ear; hearing is coming to. Then his
tongue moves uneasiiy; taste is returning
Last, his eyes open, one after the other,
then half close, then open again, and the
man is awake all over, awake for all dav.
There's another sound asleep this minute,
and this he shakes himself like a huge
Newfoundland, springs up percussion, :"
and the thing is dune; the fellow has not
sleepy hair about him. Snowy quilts
that have just risen and fallen with the
gentle bosom beneath, begins to grow un-
easy. The sweet sleepers are waking,
and so we will draw the curtains, and leave
them to their toilette. Bundles of rags
in dark, damp corners toss and tumble;
there's something alive underneath. Out
it comes-more rags. Misery makes no
toilette, and there are no curtains to draw.
DARING ROBBERY IN The
Plaindealer, of Monday, gives the follow
ing particulars: --@' As' So a-
"The store was entered through second
story window, in the back building, BY
means of ladder. TIE rascals having en-
tered. descended by means Of trap door
20 the first story, and thence got in-o tie
store by breaking open door. The sore
was rumaged through, and several trunks
were broken open, with view evidently
of obtaining money. Failing in this they
went to a show case, and took out about
forty valuable gold watches, belonging
mos Iy TO customers. Others valuable
jewelry, mostly rings, &C., were alsotaken.
Very singularly, tie robbers left untouch a
case of diamond rings worth several thous
and dollars, Which was in tie same case
with the watches. It is supposed from this
fact that they were novices in the business,
and were ignorans of the value of the
rings. Property to the amount of between
So, 900 and $4,000 was taken. While
they were in the store, one of the clerks
came to the front door to enter. Finding
it barred, he became alarmed, and ran
through the Franklin House to the back
Of the store. The robbers had in the
meantime beat a precipitate retreat. We
hope they may be captuoed, although it
is said they have escaped to Detroit.

of the eth, we copy the following
article of an accident to Governor Bigler:
"The Governor was knocked down and
considerably injured yesterday afternoon
