People may sleep in all sorts of postures.-
According to Mr.. Wilkinson, the ancient
Egyptians, who, as everybody knows,
shaved their scalps, slept with their heads
resting on an iron prong, like that of a
ptchfnrk, welted with something soft
This they did for the sake of keeping their

horseback, and the sentinel at his post. An
entire battalion of infantry have been
known to sleep,on the march. 1t is about
three or four O'Clock in the morning, that
this propensity Of sleep is the most over
pOwering,-the moment seized upon by
troops for driving in the enemy's outposts
and taking the bivouac by surprise. Ma

certainly is greater prOneness to disease

Gems Of Thought.

Malice drinks one half of its own poison.
Physic, for the most part, is nothing but
the substitute Of exercise or temperance.
Love is but another name for that in
scrutable presence by which the soul is con-
nected with humanity a
1t is always a sign Of poverty of mind,
when men are ever aiming to appear great;
for they who are really great never seem to
know it.
Some characters are like some bodies in
chemistry; good, perhaps, in themselves
yet fly of and refuse the least conjunction
with each other
All those things that are now held to be
of the greatest antiquity, were, at one time,
new; what we to-day hold up by example,
will rank hereafter as precedent.
Associate with men OF good Judgment; /;
for judgment is found in conversation. And
we make another mans Judgment ours by
frequenting his company.
With many readers, brilliancy Of style
passes for afiluence Of Thoughts; they mis-
take buttercups in the grass for immeasura-
bic gold mines under the ground.
As ceremony is the invention Of wise
men to keep fools at a distance, so good
breeding is an expedient to make fools and
wise men equals.

BACKING OUT OF A BAD BARGAIN There
were several persons in house where there
were several children, and among them a
little bright eyed boy Of some four sum
mers. When the grandmother soon after
came in, with young babe in her arms, he
was particularly pleased with It, and evin-
ced every symptom Of delight; asked his
aunt where she got it, and was told she
bought it of Or. Adams he then asked
how much she gave for it. She told him
she paid ten dollars. He then stood by
her lap, on which the child was lying
asleep his eyes beamlng with intense salts
faction. The babe soon awoke and squall-
ed yociferously. Instantly his countenance
fell and, with almost disgust pictured on
his beautiful face, he turned around and
said 'Anty, if was you, I'd take it back
to DIR. Adams, and get my ten dOllarsl--
making such noise as this !"

NAPoLEoN's LAST YEAR-About a year
before his death sudden change took
place in the daily habits of Napoleon. His
better angel had whispered into his ear, and
carried solace and coStentment to his heart.
He went among his fellows as man should
mix with them, and as an Emperor might
There is work going on in his garden. The
gardeners are very busy, especially the Chi
neSe-an industrious race. Napoleon takes
his place among them. He uses his spade
with the rest, and the children of Count
Bertrand are playing around him while he
digs Fowls trespass on the grounds, and
make free with the favorite flower beds
The Imperial gardner sends for his gun,
shoots the trespasscrs dead, and then pro-
eeeds with his work-superintending the
raising of sod walls in this place, the form
alton Of reservoirs in another. Visions Of
the old time come across him while he la
bors, and he traces out on the ground Of
his little garden, plans and feldworks for
defensive operations, to the edifcation Of
his officers and attendants, who group about
him as he explains his ideas. Day after
day, for brief but happy interval, the
gardening continues. Every man in the
house has q spade in his hand, and NapOle-
on is very busy putting in seeds. He break
fasts in his garden, sends messages to his
orderly for carts, shoyels and spades, and
when the orderly officer looks in late in the
evening, he finds the great man still busy
with his innocent and healthy occupation;
and be sure he will be in good time next
morning, for the said officer writes to the
Governor in his daily report Of the 9th Of
May, lS2O-"General Bonaparte has got
a great bell, which he rings, and immedi-
ately upon this signal, all the servants turn
out to work in the gardens" In less than
a year after this sentence was written, Ma
poleon died. Where he was first buried,
and where he now lies, the world knows.
Had he maintained, during the whole Of his
six years Punishment, the dignifed and
simple bearing which he assumed for few
weeks in his little garden, Mr.. Forsyth's
book would not have been necessary, and
there would have been sanctity in our rec
objections of the last days Of the still I'M
mortal Napoleon.-LOndOa Tines.

Fearing there may be something abstract
in these propositions We add by way Of illus
tration, that in educing the spiritual powers
Of youth, the blind will be found leading the
blind, unless Christ be regarded as the
great Educator, whose guidance all who
presume to teach must implicitly follow I;
that in spiritual education we know Of no
educational instrument but the word Of God; (;
and that for practical results, even in child
hood, we recognize nothing as satisfactory
but peace with God through the Otoncmcnt
of our Lord and Saviour, the regeneration
of the fallen spirit by the Holy Ghost.

WHAT IS MAN H-Philosophers, from Pla-
to down to DR.. Alphabet Mellon, have al
ways been asking and endeavoring to un-
ravel this question. The answer don't seem
to come up and face the musie--at leiSt, not
such one as satisfies all mankind, his coun-
try cousin, and the rest of the world, Some
have said that he is thing Of hats, trows.
ers, jack knives, patent leather boots, and
other earthly vanities. Others, looking
through chemical spectacles, that he is sew
en- parts water, four blood, three rum, two
and a half bone, and the rest the shabbiest
ofrun-scuff refuse. Others, that he is an in
stitution made to love the girls, eat cham
pagne suppers, edo the polka" !" and go L
meeting when the weatheris pleasant. 9th
ers, that he was cut out to steal umbrellas
swear at chambermaids, talk nonsense, anC

What is man ? is puzzle--almost as muel
as woman. If we find out before our next

Nor so PooR.-Charles Jarvis, the ar
tist, tells the following anecdote of his faith
er's travels in the western part Of Kentucky:
AT the close Of n day in midsummer, Mr..
Jarvis and his companion rode up to one
of the most dilapidated log huts they had
ever seen. The window was stuffed full OF
rags, and the cracks between the logs were
particularly choked up with the articles.
What an awful shanty this isP exciaim-
ed Jarvis, as he rode up. Tits evident they
are too poor to accommodate us here
Not so poor as you mout think, strang-
err said head that showed itself among
the rags, for don't Olon this place
Have you anything in there to eatP said
Jarvis; any bread and hamP
Not q smell, stranger, all gone-eyery
smitch-not a crust left
Have You any feed for horses?
'Nota corn nor an oat, strangerj hav'nt
no use for nOneP
We'll, can you not accommodate us for
the night 2
We'll, we can't stranger. There's no hoor
in the house, and the straw is all out
Why ! never heard anything like it, said
JAWS, impatiently. Why, how yon here,
Purity well, l thank you,' said the Ken
tuckian 'how's the folks down your wayP
That was euough for them-they rode on
to better quarters.

Swamp lands have been donated boun-
tifnlly BY recent Congresses to the western
States. As the public has probably very
little idea Of the extent Of the national
generosity towards the vigorous young cons
monwealihs Of the West, it may be OF in
terest to many to know that, according to
the report Of the u. s. Surveyor-General
for Missouri and Illinois, the total number
of acres Of swamp land given TO Missouri,
is 8, ,T65, 1911, and the number given to Illi-'
nois is 1880, ,6S5. According to the st.
Louis Republican, much Of this land may
and will be reclaimed, and, in general, the
soil is 50 rich as TO make il very valuable.

pect of sending her former love to the State
prison, and dreadfully disappointing No. g.

why did you look for another woman"

" 1t is refreshing to turn from the con-

nues Of the state are absorbed by prohtless
standing armies, and squandered in the

to absorb in its ponderous jaws all, and more
than all, which can be wrung from the ex-

of its own prosperity, and embarrassed in
