SLEEP.

''GoD bless the man who first invented sleep!'

his great discovery 10 himself; or try
make lt-as The lucky fellow might
A close monopoly by "patent rightr'
Yes-bless the man who first invented sleep!
Q really can't avoid the iteration);
But oIast the man, with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the rascal's name. or age, or station,
Who FIRST invented. and went ronnd advising,
That artificial cut-of-early risngi
"Rise with the lark, and with the lark TO bed.''
Observes some solemn sentimental owl
Maxlms like these are very cheaply said;
But ere you make yourself fool, or fowl,
Pray just inquire about their rise-and fall,
And whether larks have any beds at all
The ''time for honest folks 10 be abed,''
Is in the morning, if | reason right
And he who cannot keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till it's fairly light,
And so ENJOY his forty morning wnks,
Is up-to knaVery; or else-he drinks!
Thomson, who sung about the Seasons" said,
1t glorious thing 10 rise in season;
But then he said it-lyng-n his bed
AT ten O'Clock A. M.-the very rrason
He wrote so charmingly. The simple fact is,
His preaching WASN'T sanctionedby his practice.
IT'S, doubtless, well to be sometimes awake
Awake 10 duty and awake 10 truth
But when, alas nice review We take
or our best deeds and days, we find in sooth,
The hours. that leave the slightest cause to weep,
Are those we passed in childhood or-asleep
'Tis beautiful TO leave the worIda while
For the soft visions of the gentle nights
And free, at last, from mortal care or guile,
To live, as only in the angels sight,
In sleeps sweet realms costly shut in,
Where, at the worst, we only dream OF sin
So let US sleep, and give the Maker praise;
| like the lad who, when bis father thought
To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase
OF vagrant worm by early sougster caught,
Cried, sServed him rght-it's not all uprising

T"When lived up in Maine" said Uncle

was holdin', the plough bit ia stump which
measured Just nine feet and half through
hard and sound white oak the plough split ii,
and was going straight through the stump,
when happened to think it might snap togrth-
er again so threw my feet out, and no sooner
done so than it snapped together, taking a smart
hold of the seat OF my pantaloons, Of course
| was tight, but held on to the plough handle,
and though the teamsters did all they could, the
team ofS0 oxen couldn't tear my pantaloons,
nor cause me 10. let go my grip. AT last, though,
after letting the cattle breathe, they gave anoth-
er strong pull together, and the old stump came
out about the quickest. 1t had monsrous long
roots, too, let me tell you. My wife made the

SIN, drew IFS semblance so attractively that the
opposite OF repulsion was the effect produced.
He was constant and consistent in insinuating
and declaring that Reason, las he called il, in
the slang OF the old Encyclopedias was surer
and better guide than Revelation All through
his works there is ruling doubt of Gods good
ness and merciful justice. of mans honor, of
woman'S chastity. SUE had no faith in Virtue.
He Profrssed TO champion popular rights, and,
while he lived IN luxury which an epicurean
might have envied, Invariably turned deaf
ear 10 all personal appeals from Poverty. He
was returned as a member of the National
Assembly, between the last French Revolution
and the reorganization of the Empire, but
made very remarkable failure in public lhe.s
Finally, suspected Of completely in some Of the
plots against what is called sThe State in Paris,
he became an exile. Once off his own soil il
seemed as if his skill as writer had vanished.
He commenced Socialist novel, called "Les
Mysteries du Peuple;" the publication of which
was prevented by the Goyernment-a needless
prohibition, for his former admirers, the work
men contemptuously pronounced that he had
written hi mself out. He died, in exile, al the
age of ffty-two.
Such. and SO conrasted, were Thomas Dick
and EUGENE SUE, the believer and the infdel.
UnquesioDably, large intellectual gifts were
bestowed upon each. How one used, and how
the other misused them, we have briefly indi-
Gated. These men might almos: stand as repre-
sentatves, among modern writers, of Good and
Evil. One felt that his mission was TO teach, TO
Look through Nature up to Natures God,
and the other acted as if he were convinced
that his allotted work was TO defle the purPst
and holiest decencies of life, and impress dsTk
dou BITS, ofa world beyond the grave upon the
minds Of all who read his works. The Chris
tian philosopher 10 whom, at the age OF eighty,
pension of ESQ year was comparative wealth
lived in privatiOn, selfdenial and frequent pow
erty. The popular novelist was surrounded
with all that wealth can supply, and with the
hattery and adulation Of millions. Yet who,
life's ftful fever ended, would prefer career
like SUES? With indignant truth has the poet
said:
