ON SLEEP,


No person of active mind should try to
prevent sleep, which, in such persons, on
ly comes when rest is indispensable to the
continuance, of health. In fact, once in
the twenty-four hours is as essential to the
existence of the mammalia as the mo-
mentary respiration of fresh air. The
most unfavorable conditions for sleep can
not prevent its approach. Coachmen
slumber on their coaches, and couriers on
their horses, whilst soldiers fall asleep on
the field of battle, amidst all the noise Of
artillery and the tumult of war. During
the retreat of Sir John Mcore, several Of
the British soldiers were reported to have
fallen asleep upon the march, and yet
they continued walking onward. The
most violent passions and excitement of
mind cannot preserve eVenpowerful minds
from sleep thus Alexander the Great
slept on the field of Arbela, and Napole.
on upon that of Austerlitz. Even stripes
and torture cannot keep off sleep, as crimi-
mails have been known to slumber on the
rack. Noises which serve at first to drive
away sleep, soon become indispensable to
its existence thus stage coach stopping
to change horses, wakes all the passen-
gers. The proprietor of an iron forge,
who slept close to the din Of hammers,
forges, and blast furnaces, would awake if
there was any interruption to them during
the night; and sick miller, who had his
mill stopped on that account, passed
sleepless nights until the mill resumed its
usual noise. Homer, in the llliad, ele-
gantly represents sleep as overcoming all
men, and even the gods, excepting Jupi-
ter alone.
The length Of time passed in sleep is
not the same for all men it varies in diff
ferent individuals and at different ages
but it cannot be determined, from time
passed in sleep, relative to the strength or
energy of the functions of the body or
mind. From six to nine hours is the aver
age proportion, yet the Roman Emperor,
Caligula, slept only three hours. Frede-
rick Of Prussia and DR.. John Hunter, con.
sumed only four or FIVE hours in repose,
while the great Scipio slept during eight.
A rich and lazy citizen will slumber from
ten to twelve hours daily. tits during in
fancy that sleep is longest and most pro-
found. Women also sleep longer than
man, and young men longer than Old
Sleep is driven away during GONZALES
cence, after a long sickness, by a continu-
ed fasting and the abuse of coffee. The
Sleepless nights of all ages, are almost
proverbial. 1t would appear that car
nivorous animals sleep in general longer
than the herbivorous, as the superior ac-
tivity of the muscles and senses of the for
mer seem more especially to require re-
pair.-Erchange.

SOLOMON SWALLOW.

Solomon Swallow was bachelor, and
a fusty one too, but nevertheless he had
made up his mind to one thing that he
was the only man living who had acquired
any knowledge of the art of taking care
of wife.
.All the married men are dolt's,' was
Solomon's constant asseveration.' There,
for instance, is my neighbor, Tom Tan.

Of him, she moves in one corner and in

on him as if there was nobody in the

thing in the world. Now that | were

well, Solomon said o neighbor to
shim one morning, 'as you are always

SELECTED POETRY.
N0WsAsDAYS.

Alas how everything has changed,
Since was sweet sixteen.
When all the girls wore home-spun frocks,
And aprons, nice aud clean
With bonnets made Of braided straw,
That tied beneath the chin,
The shawl laid neatly on the neck,
And fastened with pin.
recollect the time when l
Rode fathers horse to mill,
Across The meadows, the rocks and field,
md up and down the hill
Sl when our folks were out to work,
10 sure as I'm sinner,
l jumped on the horse bareback,
And carried them their dinner.
Dear me, young ladies nowadays
Would almost faint away,
To think of riding all alone.
In wagon, Chaise, or sleigh
And as for giving "Pa" his meals,
Or helping "Ma" to bake,
Oh, saintsl 'twould spoil their lily hands,
Though sometimes they mako cake.
When winter came, the maidon's heart
Began to beat and flutter,
Each beau would take his sweetheart out
Sleigh-riding in cutter.
Or if the storm was bleak and cold,
The girls and beauS together ,
Would meet and have most glorious fun,
And never mind the weather.
But now, indeed, it grieveS me much,
The circumstance to mention,
However kind the young mans heart
And honest his intention,
He never asked the girls to ride,
But such war is waged,
And If he sees her once week,
Why surely they're engaged !"

ORIGIN OF THE Term "JoHN Bull
DR.. John Bull was the first Gersham pro-,
fessor Of music, and organist and com.
poser 10 Queen Elizabeth. John, like
true Englishman, travelled for improve
ment, and having heard of famous mu.
sician Of St. Ormer's he placed himself
under him as a novice; but as circum.
stance very soon convinced the master
that he was inferior to the scholar. Tho
musician showed John a song, which he
composed in forty parts, telling him atths
same time that he defed all the world to
produce person capable of adding an.
other part TO his composition. Bull de.
sired to be left alone, and to be INDUCED
for short time with pen and ink. 10
three hours he added forty parts moro to
the song. Upon which the Frenchman was
so surprised, that he swore in great exta.
cy, he must be either the Devil or John
Bull; which has ever since been ProvsT.
bal in England.
