THE OLD HIGHLAND PIPER.
By ALEX. M'LAcHLAy.


Aiar from the land of the mountain and heather
An old Highland Piper look d sad DER The sea .1
ana thought OF the time when the sound of his chante
Was known from the isles to the banks of the Dee:
AND mus while the shades of the gloomy night pather
AND day was fOrsaking, the weary pine plains
! lie sang OF The hills of the dark purple heather
The hills that so often re-echo'd his strains.
o sad was the heart of the old Highland Piper,
When forced from the hills of Lochaber away,
An! ne er more to look on the mighty Ben Lomond
Nor wander again on the banks of the Tay;
AND still as sleep comes TO my lone weary pillow
near Corybrechtan again in my Dreams
see the blue peaks of the lone cliffs of Jura
And wander again by her wild dashing streams
Tho here must roam in the land of the stranger
~ NY hearts mong the braces of Lochaber the while,
Tho wecomd ah! tits in the tongue of the Saxon
Tis not the heart welcome they gle in Argyle:
Ihey know not the heart O. the old Highland Piper
AND little they think that bleeds to the core
when weary with mirth and the dance they invite me-
10 play them the wall of Lochaber no more
All little they know of the weight of affection,
The scatter'd descendants of mighty Lochiel
S bear IN their bosoms to aught which reminds them
VI the dark purple heather and land of the Geal
They ne er saw the tempest in Glenavin gather
Nor heard the storm shrek around Coansay's shore
Nor felt the cliffs quake meath the tramp of The thunder
Nor heard the hills Join in the mighty uproar.
Ah little they know of the tie which still binds u.s.
- A tie which the stranger; no! never can feel
The love which we bear to the land left behind u.s.
orthe wounds of our parting which never can heal
And still as day fades DER the weary Pacific,
To brighten the hills that look d lovely of yore:
seek this lone sea beach. and play till the waters
And pine forests ring wi Lochaber more.

The Phenomena of Sleep.

DR.. Dickson, of South Carolina has recently pub
ished a work on Life, Sleep, Pain and Death, which
contains some curious facts and speculatons. The
following facts given in relation to Sleep which
is described to be the repose of the mind -
The necessary amount Of sleep differs in the various
tribes, as well in different individuals The aver
age proportion of time thus employed by our race is
estimated at one-third: Sir John Sinclair who slept
eight hours himself says that in his researches upon
the subject of longevity he found long life under
every circumstance and every course of habit-some
old men being abstinent, Others incorporate, some
active and some indolent but all had slept well and
long. Alfred the Great slept eight hours day
Jeremy Taylor but three. Bonaparte, during the
greater part of his active life, was content with four
or five hours Sleep Old age and infancy sleep much
Some boys slept from fatigue on board of Mel,
sons ship at the battle of the Nile. Among the
impressive incidents of Sir John Moores disastrous
retreat to Corunna, in Span not the least striking
is the recorded fact that many of the soldiers steadily
pursued their march while fast asleep. Burdach.
however, affirms that this is not uncommon among
soldiers. Franklin slept nearly an hour, swimming
on his back. An acquaintance of DIR. d.. travelling
with party in South Carolina being greatly atgued
was observed to be sound asleep in his saddle. His
horse, being better walker, went far in advance Of
the rest. On crossing hill, they found him on the
ground snoring deeply. His horse had fallen, as was
evident from his broken knees, and had thrown his
rider on his head on hard surface without waking
him.
Animals of the lower orders obey peculiar laws in
regard to Sleep Fish said to sleep soundly and
told by Aristotle, that the tench may be taken
in this state, if approached cautiously Many birds
and beasts of prey take their repose In Che day time
When kept in captivity this habit undergoes change,
which makes doubt whether it was not the necessity
which demanded that they should take advantage Of
the darkness silence and the unguarded state Of their
victims. In the menagerie at Paris even the hyena
sleeps at night and is awake by day. They all, how
ever seek as favoring the purpose, certain degree
of seclusion and shade, with the exception Of the
lion, who Burdach informs us, sleeps at MONDAY in
the open plain; and the eagle and condor which
poise themselves on the most elevated pinnacle of
rock in the clear blue atmosphere, and dazzling
light. Birds, however, are furnished with nictita-
ting membrane, generally to shelter the eye from
light Fish prefer to retire to sleep under the shadow
Of a rock, or a woody bank OF domestic animals,
the horse seems to require least Sleep and that he
usually takes in an erect posture. sT
