"DoE'r SPEAK TO HER!"-"Don't speak
to her" There was bitter sneer upon the
little girls face, as she and her companion
turned away from the poorer-dresscd school

No, little Miss, don't speak 10 the poor
girl. Your father swindled poor people and
made large property out of their hard earn.

young man, and universally despised, but is
now one of the upper ten" At heart he
is as base and low as he ever was. But he
deals in stocks and robs by shaving bonds

rich. He is your father, Miss, and would
not like it were yon to place yourself on
level with honorable poor people. "Don't
speak to her!"
The girl is plainly clad and has no tippet
around her neck, or costly plIythings. She
has an humble home land poor mother. Her
father was ruined by one who now rolls in
wealth, and died stricken man. His fine
house-the early home Of the poor girl
was sold at sacrifice, and pure hased by the
man who ruined him. Her mother, the once
beautiful and accomplished belle and noble
woman, takes in washing. What a vulgar
woman! How low it to take in washing!
| Who could associate or have any thing to do
with them!
Don't speak to her!" Her sweet face
is pale and sad, her dress is course and plain

nothing but common needle work! Not as
fine as yours by a good deal. Her shoes,
too, are common calfskin, while yours are
beautiful CATERS. Why can't the vulgar
thing dress as well as you can, and why
can't her sad-hearted mother have fine
house and ride to church in catriage?-
What business have folks to be poorl How
exceedingly vulgar it is to work for living!

bout such kind of folks. There is tear in
her mild blue eye and quick flush on her
pale cheek, and as she passes by the group
with their hoops. she draws her checkered
bonnet tightly round her face, and steals a.
way with many a bitter sob. Her young
heart is learning its first sorrow. She will
know that heart and conduct have no claim
upon the respect of the fashionable world
Her mother washes for bread; and she is a
poor girl. There are many su's and clouds
for her in the future-many u cutting word

will need all its bravery. She may triumph

give way and go down to worse than u

crushed her with an iron heel and she was

MONUMENT TO GALLAUDET.-A monument
in memory to the late T, H. Gullaudet,
whose invaluable services to the Deaf and
Dumb have rendered his name famous
throughout the United States, is to be erect
ed on the grounds attached to the American
Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Hartford, Ct,
as we learn from the Hartford Courant. 1t
will be twenty feet in height, and upon the
front panel of the main die will be cut, in
high relief, the manual alphabet. On the
opposite panel, facing the Asylum building,
will bea bas relief representing Mr.. Gal
laudet teaching three little children the
manual alphabet. The shaft will be sur
mounted by globe, supported by the feur
de lis, an outline map of France and the
United States being traced upon the globe.
This beautiful design is the production of q
Philadelphia deaf mute. The monument is
to be erected by the deaf mutes of the Unit
ed States as tribute of gratitude to him
who was the father of the American system
ofinstruction for the deaf and dumb. From
the year 1917 to 1880 he was the Principal
of the American Asylum, at Hartford, where
the monument is to be erected, but his in
terest and exertions were not confined to
that institution.

SEA-SIcKSEss is terrible tbing,aRd new
er-to-be-suficiently deprecated by all who
have ever "gone down to the sea in ships"
whether sailing-paekets or ocean-steamers.
Who can wonder at this, after reading this
professional description Of that s@fol mala-
dy. The cause being thus clearly demon
strated,we need not only remedytO relieve
voyages from this dire naHsea-martnd:
All the symptoms of this malady led me to
believe that it is the spinal marrow which
is the nervous centre, and that it is the pneu-
mogaslic, intercoral and abdominal nerves,
which are the cosdic and cxodic nerves,
which form in their connection with this
centre. the origin and the cabastathic and
piastathic pulsations which ensues!"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF SOLDIERS.
On the lS h inst, the soldiers and others
in Philadelphia, who were connected with
the war of 1912, held meeting in relation
to their proposed national convention in
that city OH the 9Th OF January next. tits
expected, from the assurances already re.
ceived from several States, to be one OF
the largest and most respectable conven'
tions that ever assembled in that city. The
meeting adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is important that every
soldier who served in the war of 1912, il
any of the States Of the Union, should OBJ
tain from his Captain or other surviving Of
ficer, certificate of his service, in orde
that he or his heirs may be in possession o.
satisfactory proof of his identity.
RESOLVED, That those who served on ship
board, and the sons Of those who served OF
land or sea, as we'll as those who were i'm
prisoned at Tripoli, be entitled to seats il
the National Convention, and, that they al
SO be requested to obtain certificates o.
identity.

"Dear Sir: Half an hour ago I received,

third or fourth time, the best letter that ever

This globe is q theatre of

The bees are as warike as the Romans,

tribes among whom have not seen battles;

Jews, Christians and Mahomedans, has not
always been at peace. We need not trouble
ourselves about these things, nor fret our
selves because Of evil doers, but safely trust

How Much SLEEPl-"Show US a man
who sleeps twelve hours" says a cotempo-
rary, 'and we will show you blockhead."
The meaning of the writer, as we gather
from the rest of the article, is that four or
five hours sleep is enough for any man.
This, however, is an error. Differences of
constitution require different quantities of
sleep, for while one person is healthy on
five hours sleep, another requires eight
Generally speaking, persons in whom the
nervous organization predominates, need
the largest amount OF sleep; the wear and
tear OF the brain being SO great, while they
are awake, that proportionate excess VI
rest is deman led. Everlasting themselves
without adequate sleep, is to such persons
premature death; for neutalgia if not insani-
ty, is sure to intervene, followed eventually
by loss Of life. For this class of individu-
ais to endeavor tU do with as little sleep as
those differently constituted, is like expect
ing cistern, fed by periodical rains only,
to yield as Inexhaustable of water as hy-
drant supplied from public aqueduct. 1t
is like looking for crops, when nothing is
put on the land. II is exhausting vitality,
in word, and allowing no time for recu-
peration.
There are some persons, fortunately con-
stituted, who, with a high nervous organiza-
ticn, yet require comparatively little sleep.
Brougham is living example. Napoleon
was still more remarkable example The
great Emperor rarely slept FIVE hours. In
truth, he owed his wonderful success as
much to his capacity to endure fatigue as
to his genius, for he could outwork two or
dinary men, if not more. Yet, after peri
DDS ofimmense and protracted exertion, he
would sleep for nearly day. Bourrienne
his secretary relates, that after Napoleon
returned from Russia, he slept eighteen
hours without waking. Very few intellect
ual men, however, could have performed
Napoleon's quantity of work at any time
with so little sleep. Laboring with the
brain is even more exhausiing than laboring
with the muscles, and consequently de-
mands as much repOse, for purposes OF re-
cupcration.
Nevertheless there are persons with
whom sleep has become disease. They
Iise late, doze after dinner, nod in the even
ing, and in fact, may be said never to be
more than half awake. Such people kill
themselves, in the end, as surely as if they
had been deprived Of needful sleep; for eve

CRYSTAL PALACE ExHIBITIoN.-The at
tendance at the Crystal Palace was not
large on Wednesday, and among the visitors
were not many ladies'. The whole number
Of tickets issued was 3,OO9; the admissions
on season tickets were 200; and the chah
received for tickets was Sl,479. The con-
tributions to the Washington monument,
during the day, reached S5S 60, making a
total of 1891 80 since the opening. The
Times says:
The attendance seemed to be mainly of
persons from the country. Residents of The
city, except those who have season tic kets,
are almost universally deferring their visits
until the exhibition shall be compIeted.-
The work advances rapidly in every part Of
the building. A large number of boxes,
&C., were admitted and opened during the
day. Among the additions to the articles
on exhibition, we notice in the department
Of the Netherlands, very beautiful line en-
craving from portrait Of his Majesty the
King of the Netherlands.
We understand that the display of ma
chnery, especially in the American depart
ment, promises to be exceedingly interest
ing. Quite number Of machines have al
ready been introduced in the main body oI
the building-including several English cot.
ton spinners, and other specimens Of Eng
l.sh machinery. A working model Of Will
kinson's new press, in which newspaper:
are printed from continuous roll, and by
which he expec.s to print $4,000 or 10000
copies in an hour, will be exhibited.

ANOTHER WITNESS GoNE--The Cincin-
natl Gazette, having suffered its name to be
faunted through the State in abolition
prints for about two months, as testfying
to the extinction of the ..Whig party, and
in favor OF subjection to the Giddings fac
ton, finally puts quietus to the matter in
the following decisive terms:
We were much astonished to see our,
selves quoted as favorable to such a move
ment, as we have never even taken the
trouble to notice it in any way. The prop
ostion was received with such coldness by
the Wing press generally, that we thought
there was little danger of its making any
disturbance in our ranks, and we have there
fore permitted it to pass without notice.
Had we thought there was the least likeli-
hood that any considerable portion of the
Wings Of the party would favor the pro.
posed colition, we should have been very
prompt and earnest in denouncing it. In
this portion of the State their is, happily
no inclination whatever among the Whig:
to surrender to a faction which has shown
itself more expert in bargaining and intrigu
ing for Office at Columbus, than in any thing
else, and whose violent exertons, just now
are made solely with reference to the elec
ton of a man TO The Senate, who, upon al
national questions, is as much of Loco
FOco as any man in the Senate.

SUPPLY OF CATTLE FOR THE New YORK
MARKET.-It is said that were it not for the
numerous railroads, New York city would
now be in state OF starvahcu S } far as meat
is concerned, as it has to depend almost en-
tirely upon supplies from the West. Beeves
are now delivered there from the North
western Praires, within a week, by means
of railroads, at an expense of 10 to Ssl2 per
head. 1t would take from so to 80 days to
bring the cattle from the western parts OF
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, or Arkansas in
fair weather, but in winter it would be too
expensive to attempt such thing. drove
of cattle from the Cherokee Nation, raised
by the Indians, were recently received at
New York, via railroad, from Illinois. ltis
said it would be rare to find hundred head
of cattle in the New York, New Jersey Mas
sachusetts and Vermont markets at one
time, but for the droves that come from the
West, over the different lines o. railway.

EXEMPTION IN FAVOR OF AMERICAN
WHALERs.-The House of Assembly of
Bermuda has adopted resolution directing
the Receiver Generalt to exempt from pay
ment all light duties all vessels arriving
within the ports of the Bermuda islands that
shall be engaged in the whale fishery. The
object of this measure is to encourage such
vessels to visit Bermuda for the purpose of
landing their cargoes of oil for Shipment to
the United States. 1t has been prompted
by the circumstance of two American wha-
lers having arrived there lately with con-
siderable quantity of sperm and common
whale oil on board, which they landed, and
the same. has been shipped to New York in
Bermuda vessels.

DEArH-BED REPEyTANcE.-Some weeks
since, our readers may remember, large
quantity of silk goods, principally fringes,
were stolen from the silk-fringe establish
ment of Hambo, on the corner of Vine and
Sixth streets, which was burg lariousy en-
tered. Two or three men were arrested on
suspicion and discharged through want of
testimony. few days ago Marshal Rut-
fin received a letter purporting to be writ
ten by one of the burglars on his death bed,
who wished to ease his conscience Ofthe
crime. ltstated that the stolen goods were
concealed in two barrels on wharf-boat at
Louisville. The Marshal thought the let
ter was hoax, yet there was an air of sim
cerity about it, and he direc ted the spot
where the barrels were located in the state
ment to be examined. His directions were
followed, the goods found, and they arrived
in this city per mail boat night before last,
in good condition. The recovered property
is valued at S25O0.-- Gin. Com.
