Let Me SlseJp,

"Let me Sleep" said my companion
once, half ps,sishly turning from my
touch; Lot me sleep. The words haunted
my memory for hours afterwsrds. How
often has the wish been ,bteaihed in this
weary world, 20 letms slsep,"'s
Tho man whose conscience itsshes
him for misdceds- -evils committed and
unrcpsn:Gd Of cries as be- drops his head
on his ihorny pillow, "Let me as'ceP!--
with sleep comes oblivion"
The mourner who has seen some bright
and beautiful one fade from his embrace
like a summer nippsd by too carly
frost, bows his head above thepallid face
of the PROSTATE form below him; and
sghs in the agony Of his soul, "Let me
sleep!-Slccp with the loved one whose
smile shall never welcome my footsteps
more"
"Let me sleep" SAYS the traveller
whose tcct sore uHu "ca'y ""s
long in The world and seen hopes perlsh
.unfulGlled; joys w,hcr ere they were
tasted; friendships which he tho't endu'
ring, changing hue like the chameleon,
and rainbow promises fading and mel
ting into colcrlcss air, 30 let me sleep,
for am weary"
The rosy.clleeked child, the bright
eyed maiden; the thoughtful matron,
those for whom life pj,s on its finest as
poets, its most endearing smiles, all
have periods in which they long for
sleep, for the oblivion of all care; hou'
in which the waters Of Lethc may flow
darkly and deeply over them. %
There cometh sleep for ALA sleep
deep, hushed, and breathless. The roar
Of cannon, the deep toned thunderbolt;
the shock Of an earthquake, or the rush
Of ten thousand armies cannot break up
its still rcpose. With mute lips and
folded arms, one after another take Their
place in the chambers Of these pallid
slumberers; one after another, the ephem'
eral of earth, sink down into the grave
and into the darkness Of no.hingness.
No intruding footsteps shall jar upon
their res,-no disturbing touch shall
wiring from them there, the exclamation
-"Let me sleep!"

MIR, Clay and the Goat,

Almost every body in Washington
City remembers an old he.goat mhich
formerly Inhabited MAYORS stable, on
PennsyIvania.avenue. The animal was
in all probability, the most independent
citizen of the metropolis; he belonged
to no party, though he frequently gave
passengers striking" proofs Of his ad.
hesointo dwelling principle, for if any
one stopped any where in his vicinage,
Billy was sure to make at him, horus
and all. The boys took delight in irri.
tating this long.Pearded gentleman, and
frequently annoyed him so that he
would make against lamp.posts and
trees, to their great amusement.
One day sthe luminary Of the West
Henry Clay, was passing along the ave-
nue., and seeing the boys intent on wary.
ing Billy into fever, stopped, and with
his characteristic huma nifty expostulatcd
with them on their cruelty The boys
listened in silent awe to the eloquent
appeal Of the great statesman; but 1t
was all Cherokee to Billy, who-the un.
grateful scamp..arose majesticaly on his
hinder legs, and made desperate lung
at his friend and advocate. Mr. Clay,
although he had not "slain Mexican"
proved himself too much for his horned
assailant; he seized hold Of both horns
Of the dilemma, ana then was the tug
OF WARRIOR Greek had met Greek. The
struggle was long and doubtful.
"Ha," exclaimed the statesman, ,"l
have got you fast, you rascal; I'll teach
you better manners. But boys" ,"contin
ued he, turning to the laughing urchins'
"what shall | do now?"
"Why.trip up his feet. Mr.. Clay" ."said
they.
Mr.. Clay ydid as he was told. and, afte'
many severe efforts, brought Billy dowr
on his side. Here he looked at the boy
imploringly, seemingto say"l never wa
in such fix. before. .ie tps ,:,a \,
The combatants were nearly exhaus

was gaining breath all the while that th'
state sman was losing il. -. ,s

These girls were still clothed with dres.

were surrounded with sarlands Of gold
which represented the, sacred flowers Of
Proscrpine-in the midst Of which we're

Other garlands there were Of roses: some
wore diadcms covered with precious
stones, finished in the highest style OF
art. One Of these saw yesterday in
private hauds-and nothing con exceed
its extreme beauty. The ears of these
children Of death were all ornamcnted
with pendants of various forms, and
their necks with necklaces in which en-.
eralds and hyacinths were intcrwoven
with chains Of gold. Two Of these,
which we're obtained by contraband
means, | have also seen.
"Thc arms were ornamentcd with a
bracelet of spiral form, or winding as
a serpent. An abundant table was laid
by their side. The fruits consisted OF
pomcgranates, pines, the corn Of the fir,
pine, and apples, whilst the flowers were
narcissuses, hyacin!hs and asphodels
apparently fresh. They were made o.
either painted crcta Of colorcd glass, OIL
Of rock chrystal. Their styles were
made Of metal threads, with green small
or simply gilt. The plates basins cups
and every other article necessary for din
ner,and the lamps which were to shet
their light upon it, were of an exlraor
dinary size, and all of glass. Thi
glass formed of kind Of paste werket
in mosaic, with the most beautiful de

plates were painted landscapes,-ant
