that she had triumphed in the event which
she hoped would humiliate her.

constant attendant, and ere long he had ac-
knowledged his preference by offering her
his hand and heart.

PURE AIR AND SLEEP.

DR.. Arnott, in his Physics, states that 4
Canary bird suspended near the top of a
curtained bed-stead where persons are
sleeping, will generally be found dead in
the morning from the effects of carbonic
acid gas, generated in respiration. He set
forth this as fact, to show the necessity Of
breathing pure air in sleeping apartments
and sweeping argument against the old
fashioned high curtained bed-steads.
a healthy man respires about twenty
times in minute, and inhales in that period
about seven hundred cubic inches OF air:
this he exhales again in the form Of carbonic
acid gas and water, which yitiates the at
mosphere. Three and one-half per cent. of
carbonic acid gas in the air renders it unfit
for the support of life; this shows how me-
ccessary it is to provide supply Of pure air
for the support Of respiration.
There are also certain facts which 90 to
prove that more danger exists-that there
IS a greater proneness to disease-durine
sleep than in the waking state. In Turkey
and Hlndostan, if person falls asleep in
the neighborhood Of poppy field over
which the wind is blowing towards him, he
IS liable to sleep the sleep which knows no
waking"
The peasants Of Italy who fall asleep in
the neighborhood of the Pontine marshes
are invariably smitten with fever. Even
travellers who pass the night in the Cam
pagna du Roma inevitably become more or
less affected with the noxious air, while
those who pass through without stopping es-
cape the marsh fever. Those who have
been attacked with bilious feyers, uniformly
ascribe the cause Of their suffering to night
exposure in the open air.
An English traveller in .Abyssinia has as
serted that he could live in health in thar
sickly climate, by proper selection Of the
situation where he slept every night.
There is abundant evidence, il would ap-
pear, which goes TO prove that by proper

under which persons sleep, many

!" STAY AT HOME AND IMPROVE YOUR
LANDS"

A week or two since we offered some
reasons why farmers in North Carolina
should not leave the State in search Of better
land. The editor of the Fayetteville OBJ
server has had conversation with Mr.. J.
c. Blocker, of Cumberland county, who has
recently been on a trip to the Western
States with view of locating in that sec
tion. Mr.. Blocker has returned entirely
satisfied with the lands and farming facili-
ties of North Carolina. The Observer SAYS
With the exception of locating single
land warrant which he carried from this
place, Mr.. Blocker did not invest one dollar,
of either his own funds or those Of his friends
which he carried with him, in western lands.
But he stopped in Georgia, on his way home,
and bought tract of land on the Cape Fear,
the owner of which lived in Georgia. He
says that he knows Of no lands in the country
which will pay better as an investment for
planting or for improvement, than Cape Fear
lands at present prices. Those who know
MIR. Blocker need not be told that he is a
shrewd. intelligent, energetic, self-made
man, and knows what he is about"
Recently we had a conversation with a
friend, an intelligent and experienced gen
tleman, a native of North Carolina, who
spent thirty years of his life in Western
State, but who has returned to live in Meek
lenburg county. lie was giving charming
description Of the productiyeness Of the
western lands, and stating what he would do
# he was young man. We took the liberty
Of asking him how much better of he was
when he returned than he was when he left.
The old gentleman, after his fine description,
did not seem to like the idea Of having his
argument "knoeked on the head" but he
acknowledged that he irds moi one ceni richer,
although we thought we could see that he
had spent the nlvst valuable pat OF tIis iic
in trying to get SO "out West" We have
no doubt that his description Of the land is
correct, but when we consider the inferior
facilities for getting TO market, the low
prices, and the sickness Of the western
country, we cannot acknowledge that our
farmers have much prospect Of bettering
their condition by removing.
We once took the "western fever" our
selves, and went on trip Of observation.
We returned better satisfied with the Old
North State than we ever were before-our
emigrating notions vanishcd-and since then
we always regret TO see persons who are
living comfortably, break up aud move oil.
The editor Of the American Farmer has
been on an excursion to the West. He
SAYS, after close observation, that persons
with only half the energy and industry
which il will be necessary TO employ in the
West, can do FAR better in the Middle and
Southern States. Wtse Dem.
