SLEEPING POSTURES.

Like most other things, sleeping has il
unpoctical aspects, Indeed, few slccper'
caught in the act, are poetical Objects
Most Slcepcrs arc quite the reverse. Al
lmogon, such as Shaksperc has paintc'
her, dreaming Of Posthumous and bette
days to come, is not an everyday vision
A Chrsable laid down in her lovelineSs
is not type of commonplace humanity

nor utter inarticulate gurgling sounds a
periodical intervals. If Christabel did Ii,
with her mouth open, and an expression
of hopeless vacuty on cher face, O, cal

quite nondescript postures, MOTTO be told
in rhyme or explained by reason, But
this is what your ordinary sloepers do.--
They snorc to the top Of their bent, and
that IN some temperaments, is altiSSimo
They utter broken mumurs, most absnrdly
compounded of kissing, moaning, and
nasal constituents. They lie gaping to
an extent utterly incompatible with the
sublime and beautiful. They are to be
seen too curled OF collapsed into positions
really worthy Of study, as showing the
eCCentricitics Of poses plaStilueS possible

than illogical.
Leigh Hunt has remarked, that though
a man in his waking moments may look
as proud and sel(.possessed as he ploascs;
though he MAY walk proudly, sit proudly,
cal his dinner proudly; though he may carry
himself with an air Of inGate superiority,
and in word, may show himself grand
on Il le most triling occasions, he is redu.
ced to ridiculous shifts when once 1oored
by that great lcveler, Sleep. "Sleep plays

TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYBODY
HINTS TO EDITORS.
One reader cries, your strains too grave
Too much morality you have,
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch and wizard tales,
Orslip' 'shod ghosts, with fins and scales
And feathers like pigeon,
| love to read, another cries,
Those monstrous fashionable lies
In other words those novels,
Composed Of kings, and priests, and lords
OF border wars and Gothic hordes;
That used to live in novels.
No, no. cries one, we've had enough
OF such confounded love. sick stuff
To crazie the fair creaton:
Give us some recent foreign news,
OF Russians, Turks, the Poles, or Jews
Or any other nation.
The man Of dull scholastic lore,
Would like.to see little more
OF first rate scraps of Latin;
The grocer fain would learn the price
OF tea sugar, fruit and rice;
The draper. silk and satin.
Another cries, | want more fun,
A witty anecdote or pun,
A rebus or a riddle;
Some wish for missionary news,
And some, perhaps OF wiser views,
Would rather hear fiddle.
The critic too, of classic skill,
Mustdip in gall his gander gill,
And scrawl against the paper
or all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges and schools;
He cuts the greatest caper.
Another cries want to see
A jumbled up variety,
Variety in all things
A miscellaneous hodge. podgo print
Composed Il only give the hnU
Of muItifarious small things.
| want some marriage news, says miss,
1t constitutes my highest bliss
TO hear of weddings plenty;
For in time of general rain
None suffer from drought, It's plain,
At least not one in twenty,
| want to hear of deaths, says one,
OF people totally undone
By losses, fire and fever;
Another answers, full wise,
I'd rather have the fal and rise
Of raccoon skins and beaver.

Lofty or low, tbs all the same;
Too naughty, or two humble.
So brother editors, pursue
The path that seems the best to you,
And let the grumblers grdmble.

THE JUSTICE OF LAW.
AN OLD SAW.

An upper mill and lower mill
Fell out about their water,
To war they went, that is to law,
Resolved to give no quarter.
A lawyer was by each engaged,
Hotly they contended,
When fees grew scant, the warthey waged
They judged were better ended
The heavy costs remaining still,
Were settled without bother;
One lawyer took the upper mill,
The lower mill the other.
