Another bridge.

The Ohio river is also to be bridged at Gin
cinnati. The towers, which are now in process
of building, are to be SO by SO feet at the base,
$50 feet high and one thousand and six feet
apart; the entire span will be 1900 feet The
elevation of floor above low water mark will be
l22 feet, which, taking the highest food of wa.
ter, that in 1882, will leave about 60 feet for
the pipes of steamers, sufficient to avoid any &C.
cidents Of that kind.
This is project of considerable importance
and when completed, will doubtless contribute
greatly to the prosperity of that city, for this
bridge was granted by the Legislature of
Ohio and Kentucky several years since, but sub
scriptions to the stock had not been procured
until quite recently, sufficient for the COM
mencement Of the work.

WHAT THE WIND SAys.-"Do you know
what the December wind says, grandpa" ask
ed child at an old merchants knee.
"No puss; what does il ?" he answered, strok-
ing her fair hair.
Remember the poor! grandpa, when it comes
down the chimney, it roars, Remember the
poor" when it puts its great mouth to the key
hole, it whistles remember the poor" when it
strides througha crack in the door it whispers
it; and, grandpa, when it blows your silver hair
in the street, and you SILVER and button up your
coat, does it not get at your ear and say SO too
in still small voice, grandpa!"
"Why, what does the child meant cried
grandpa, who, am afraid, had been used to
shut his heart against such words. "You want
new muff and tippet, reckon, pretty way
to get them out Of your old grandfather"
mo, grandpa, said the child earnestly, shak-
ing her head, mo its not the muifs and tippet of
children that I'm thinking Of, my mother always
remembers them, and SO do try"
After the next storm, the old merchant sent
fifty dollars to the treasurer of the relief soce-
ty, and said, call for more when you want it.
The treasurer started with surprise for it was
the first time that he had ever collected more
than dollar from him, and that, he thought,
came grudgingly. .-=.--s
"Why, said the rich old merchant afterwards,
II could never get rid Of that chld's words, they
stuck to me like glue"
And a child shall lead them" says the scrip
ture. How many a cold heart has melted, and
close heart opened, by the simple earnestness
and suggestive words of a child.

evening that We were called on deck to see the

is produced by electricity, by atmospheric
causes, or by snimalcua. Instead of water, it
seemed as it the vessel we're plunging through
great drifts of snow. The appearance extended
even to the horizon, and if the air had been
colder and could have caught the sound of
sleigh-bells, should have lost all idea of the
sea, and imagined myself enjoying a magnificent
sle:gh-ride. 1t was splendid sight; and it is
very remarkable that no chemical analysis can
detect any popularity in the composition of the
water; and as soon as daylight or Moonlight
comes, it vanishes. The milky water lasted for
three nights, aud then Suddenly stopped; and
every evening afterward the water was as

!. There is no fact more clearly established in
the physiology Of man than, that the brain ex-
pands its energies and itself during the hours
of wakefulness and that these are rccuperated
during hours Of sleep; if the recupera.ion does
not equal the expenditures, the brain withcrs-
this is insanity. ~ a5
Thus it is, that in early English history per-
sons who were condemned to death, by being
prevented from sleeping, always died raving
maniacs; thus it is also, that those who are
starved to death become insane; the brain is
not nourished, and they cannot sleep. The
practical differences are three: r."
/. Those who think most, who do most brain
work, require most sleep.
2. That ''time saved" from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body, aud estate
3. Give yourself, your children, your SER
wants, give all who are under You, the fullest
amount of sleep they can take, by compelling
them to go to bed at some regular early hour,
and rise in the moment they awake of them
selves, and within a fortnight, nature, with al
most the regularity of the rising sun, will unlose
the bonds of sleep the moment enough repose
has been secured for the wants of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule; and as
to the question, how much sleep any one re-
quires, each must be a rule for himself. Great
nature will never fail to write it to the observed
under the regulations just given.-Journal of
Health.
