How much Sleep?

"Show us man who sleeps twelve hours" saws
a contemporary, "and we will show 9au tlockhead
The meaning of the writer as we gather from the
rest of his article, is that four or five hours is sufi-
cient for any man TO sleep. This, however, is an err
ror Different constitutions require different quanti-
ties OF sleep, for while person is healthy on five
hours sleep, another requires eight Generally speak
ing, individuals in whom the nervous organization
predomhates, need that amount of sleep; the wear
and tear of brain being grel while they are awake,
that proportionate excess of rest is demanded
Everlasting themselves, without accurate sleep, is To
such persons premature death. Neuralgia if not in
sanity, is sure TO intervene, followed eventually by
death. For this class of individuals to endeavor 10
do with as little sleep those differently constituted,
is like expecting cstern fed by periodical rains
ly, to yield ineXhaustibe supplies of water as by
drant supplied from public aqueduct 1t is like
looking for crops when nbhng is put on the land
1t is inexhaustble vitality in word, and allowing
no time for recuperation.
There are some persons, fortunately constituted +
who with high fervous organization, yet require
comparatively little sleep. Brougham is living in
stance. Napoleon was a still more remarkable ex-
ample. The great Emperor rarely slept Eve hours
In truth he owed his wonderful success as much To
his capacity to endure fatigue to his genius for he
could outwork two ordinary men, if not more. Yet,
after periods of immense and protracted exertion he
would sleep nearly day. Bourriene, his secretary.
relates that after Napoleon returned from Russia he
slept eighteen hours without waking. Very few in
telectual men, however, could have performed Napo-
Icons quantity of work, at any time, with so little
sleep. Laborng with the brain is even more exhaust
ing than laborng with the muscles and consequently
demands as much repose for purposes of recuperaon
Nevertheless there are persons with tShbm sleep
has become disease. They rise late, doze after din
ner nod in the evening, and in fact may be said new
er TO be more than half awake. Such people kill
themselves, in the end, surely if they had been
deprived of needful sleep; for every vital function be-
comes torpid, life sagnates, and death a last carries
off the victim.-Philadelphia Ledger.

HUNGARY.

The fame of liberty is smothered, but not extin-
guished, in this open country The present feeling
of Hungary towards the Austrians is thus described
by a correspondent of the Christian Register:
81 asked several persons what the feelings of the
Magyars in regard TO Kossuh; the invariable
answer was, that almost TO they his friends
and ready to rise at any moment much so, indeed,
that the government has not the slightest confidence
in them sends the soldiers raised in Hungary, by
CONSUMPTION, Immediately out of the place has COM
petely dsarmed the people, making death the penal
ty of conceang weapons and not even allowing a
knife point All strong places are garrisoned by
Austrians, for the Italian regiments, many of which
are kept here, are looked upon not much better
disposed towards The government than the Hungarians.
Every nook and corner of the city is guarded and pa
trolled day and night by the sodery and every Mag
var of any intelligence influence is under surveil-
lance, either open or secret The taxes are about
double what they before the revolution yet the
natural of the country great, that it
seems notwithstanding TO thrive"

of the late Mr.. James Sergeant of Leicester, is the
following clause:
"As my nephews are fond of INDUCING them

THE DAIRY.

The circumstances which affect the quality of the
milk various. The breed has an effect; the small
yielding richer milk than the larger, in which
respect the small Derry is superior to the large
Yorkshire. The kind of food also affects the milk
hay and oil-cake produce richer milk than turn
Ups and straw, and yield more butter bean-meal and
tares afford more cheese than ol-cake corn potatoes
and turnips. In the time of caving, it is well known
that the first milk of cow, called the bestyn is much
rioher than milk which she ordinarily gives. In wet
and cold weather the milk is less rich than in warm
and dry though not thundery weather.
The has its effect the milk in the spring is
supposed to be best for drinking hence, is then best
suited for calves, in summer for cheese, in autumn
for butter-the autumn butter keeping better than
summer Cows less frequently mlked than others
will give richer milk, and consequently butter.
The mornings milk is richer than the evening s.
The last drawn milk of each milking all times and
is richer than any other part of the milk and
