cause" observes DR.. Copeland, A." Of depress-

the aged. The fact, however explained, has
been long remarked, and 1t is well known to

blight. After inquiry into the history OF tho
case, 1t came out that he had been robust
and plethoric child, up 10 his third year
when his grand mother, a very aged person
took Inn TO sleep with her; that he soon at
forwards lost his good looks, and that he con
unued to decline progressively ever since
Notwithstanding medical treatment. direc-

IN children only the debility is induced by
this mode of abstracting vital power. Young
females married to very old men, suffer IN
sunllar manner although seldom to so great
an extent; and instances have come 10 my
knowledge were they have suspected the
cause Of this debilltaled state, These facts
are often well known to the aged themselves
who consider the Indul ence favorable tC
longevity, and thereby illustrate the selfish
ness which, IN some persons, increases with
their years. Every medical practitioner ID
well aware Of the fact, aud parents are gen.
orally advised not to allow their infants to

ideas ON the necessity of dcvoung midnight

period Of twenty four hours which is produc-
ed by the regular revolution OF the earth ON

on the physical economy of man. Disease
shows this regular fever exhibits twenty
four hours dux and reHux. ln the hcalthlw

fucnce. and the more hnbitutl our meals, our
hours Of exercise or employment aud our
hours OF sleep, the more power Is there 40
the system to resist disease. lu the morning
the pulse Is slow and the nerves calmer and
the mind aud the body better fitted for labor.
As we advance towards the evening Of the

ming icycr Rest carries of TINS fever by MS

the sun is ln the n1dlr, aud then thc body
becomes refreshed for the early morning lH-
Dor. Those who neglect tnls period either
push this durnal crisis into the morning, and
thus undermine the Importance OF us Icgu-
laiiy, or lose 10 entirely, and arise TO their
Inbors unreireshej by sleep. Their bodies

Nervous people are peculiarly subject TO

TIE LATE REV. DAVID II. WzRRLER.-It
will be remembered that smorg the slain at
Granada, during the late attack BY the troops
under General Walker, was the Rev. ID Ii
Wheeler, the agent Ct the American Bible
Society. Among his papers Was found the
copy of letter that Mr.. W. had recently
sent to the Rev. DR.. Brigham, the senior sec
retary OF the american Bible Society; it is as
follows:
GRANADA, Oct 3, 1856.

AMI sold only one testament. Many said they
had no money, and others said they yould

are looking for the enemy every day, full OeO
strong, with some good officers and some very
good soldiers To this force Gen Walker can
oppose ] 900 6gatng men, together with what
he may receive from California and New
York, which may be 500 men At present the
enemy are strongly fortified at Masays, only
twelve miles distant. Gen. Walker is pre.
pairing to receive them, and there will be some
hard Fighting, but the Americans feel very
confident Of success. Perhaps prudence would
have dictated that should have left here on
the eve Of battle such as is expected every
hour; but Game when there was no enemy
near, and none expected, and my work Is here,
and there will be many wounded and dying
TO care for, and ! can do some good certainly
True, i may be among the slain, for then
men have threatened q war of externins eion
against all Americans, and if they shorld be
victorious they will do as they have said. In

that can be afforded them. Should the enemy
come and sack the city, ! shall leave NV
