Eating and Sleeping.

Halls journal Of Heulh says: "For
persons who eat three times a day, it is
amply sufficient to make the last meal of
cold bread ard butter and cup of warm
drink. No one can starvc on it, while a
perseverance in the habit soon begets a
vigorous appetite for breakfast so prom
ising of a day of comfort"
Yes, yes; and by omittiag the third
meal, the individual besides securing a
night of sound sleep, will not find on
awaking in the morning bad taste in his
mouth so indicative of general foulncss,
Ifone would always have sweet mouth
and clean tongue, nc can secure them
both by simply ceasing to overtax his
stomach. This frequent eating is an
idle, mischievous habit ruinous of both
health aud comfort; and it prevents the
individual from receiving the great
amount Of enjoyment which it was iptcn-
dod he should receive FROM eating, aud
which IL necessary TO perfect nutrition.
Nothing should be eaten between the
regular meals, whether these meals are

taken either two or three times day;
nor should one cat so that the quantity
ingested will induce hcaviness or uncom-
fcrtablc feelings.
The cook tastes the food she prepares;
and by this frequent tasting she destroys
both the relish for her meals, and her
health. There are many housekeepers
who have the same pernicious habit.
We know tiameis who, at tho close of
a long summer day, during which they
have eaten heartily five times, and wor-
ked hard from four o'clock in the NOR
ming to nine at night, cat freely just be-
fore going to bed.
The stomach already enfecblcd by
constant working under disadvantageous
circumstances, has now imposed on it an
impraeticablc task, and the men lie down
to sleep Next morning they are nerv-
less--have scarcely slept all night--feel
more wearied than they did when they
lay down--and, on the whole, think the
farmer lives dogs life. So he does,
SO far as he sinks to mere animalism--
living to eat--taxiug his digestive appa-
ratus at the expense Of health, life, and
lifc's enjoyment, So cn from day to day..
till nature makes desperate effort to rid
the body of the supertiuous food intro
duced into it, burning it up by fever, or
expclling it by some different remedial
effort.
Farmers, being SO much in the open
air, with abundant exercise, should be
the healthiest people; but, like others
who are cursed with "aJundance of
bread" they ire rheumatic, bilious, dys-
pcptic. This is shame and sin. Far
mers. it is sin. Your liver complaints,
chill fevers, etc, are as unnecessary as is
the plague. Health and sweet sleep will
come to yos when you need, unless by,
bad habits you drive them away. Go,
and sin no more" ."--Life Must, ated.

Who kept such ardent glow of patriotism

Our Washington masters are in an ecs-
tacy Of alarm over the dissension Of the
Democratic party. We sympathise with
them. They think the Kansas question
ought to be settled We think SO, TOO.
They are beginning to see, like wise men,
that for every head the official axe takes
off, the ballot-box will demand ten; and
we only regret that their visiea was not
cleared at an earlier day. These things
being agreed upon on all hands, what is
the next step? Acting like rasional be-
ings, they would, of course, wthdrar
their dead Lecompton from the field,
reeking carrion as it is, that smells to
Heaven. Animated By desire to re
unite the party, they should dismiss to
the shades of private life all those wor-
thies who have voted for Lecompton. But
in this, it seems, the people are to be dis
appointed. Preparations are making to
pour new batch of documents, in sup
port of the Lecompton and English in
iquities into our State. Club-rooms are
being opened at Washington, officer
ed by Jones and Bigler, and filed with
clerks, FROM which millions of arguments
in favor of these great wrongs are to be
disseminated to every part of the State,
Even Owen Jones is flooding his dis
trict with Stevens report in favor of the
very Senate bill which he SO steadily op-
posed So the issue is not only accepted
but insisted upon; and so let it be- Penn
sylvania is to be the battle ground in Oc-
tober. She was the battle ground in 1856
The theatre is the same--the actors the
same, and the principle the same, with
the difference that those who were elec-
ted to Office upon the principle now stand
forth full armed against it. These latter
have many potent influences on their
side. A mass Of patronage held eut to
a mass Of expectants; host of depend
ents whose bread is safe only as they de-
fend the wrong; Senate ready to reject
or ratify, as Democrats are fair or false
But we have faith in the result The
people are aroused. The public mind is
filled with light; the public heart with
indignation. If there was rapture in
the strife Of 1856, in honestly supporting
an honest creed, what will it be in 1855,
when that same creed, basely deserted,
implores for rescue, and for champion
shin?

We spare you the recital of his minor
trials with genteel nurses, who wanted
dollar day, and watchers hired at night
with crying children, spoiled victuals,
stringless dickies, heelless stockings aud
shirts that didn't shine. But this we
will tell you, that long ere his wife was
well, he had come to the conclusion that
housekeeping was pretty serious affair,
and he was ready to excuse every blum
der she ever made, and worlds would he
have given could he have forgotten how
often he hsd aggravated her cares by his
thoughtless demands on her duties.
"If she only gets vel" he would soy
to himself, "if God only spares her to
me, never shall she shed a tear by my
fretfulness or stern words. Her life shall
be one perpetual JOY, frightened aud
blessed by her husbands love-"
Three months had elapsed since Mrs
Lees fearful sickness had prostrated her
delicate form. She had now been couva-
lcsccnt for some weeks, caring for her
husbands wardrobe, tending the little
one, and overseeing everything. Once
more her house was neat and pleasant to
the eye; once more her table was laid with
faultless care, and her pantry supplied
with properly cooked food once more all
was right. There was stout girl in the
kitchen, and little maid in the nursery,
both willing hands, their mistress being
their thoughtful maid.
Beside the glowing CRATE in the cozy
little parloT, she sat one evening, with
her husband close beside her. His paper
had fallen from his hands and he seemed
in a deep study.

she, gently holding to his lips half

pressing her to his heart, 81 was thiuk-

taught me that man can never be too
gentle, too kind, too loving to his wife;
that he should never wound her feelings
with frowning eye and Bitter lip, be-

down her constitution, and crush her
spirits. Rose, Rose, dear; | shall be a

But let me tell you something about
these Comets They approach The sun
from every point Of the compass, and
sweep round the center at different dis
tanoes from the great luminary of day,
and fly away into the immensity Of
space, some to return at stated times
and some never, or at least not in the
time of human calculation. These
Comets have been pursued by the eyes
Of science, their orbits determined, and
periods ascertained. The orbit of Hal
ley's Comet extends 566,O0OO00 of
miles beyond the orbit of Neptune,
from whence it returns to the Sun, af-
ter an absence Of seventy-fve years
The Comet Of 1850 reaches a point be-
youd the limits of our solar system, Of
not less than 10146,00O,00O of miles,
from which it returns in FIVE hundred
and seventy-fve years But the Comet
Of 1853 may excite our surprise, and
carry our thoughts far away into the
awful depths Of Deity. It's recession
from the sun is computed at 144,GOO,-
100000 Of miles, from which distant
point it returns to this system after the
lapse of more than one thousand yearsl
Now let us count, so as to render this
matter more intclligible-units, tens,
hundreds, thousands, tens Of tbous-
ands, hundreds Of thousands, millions,
tens of millions, hundreds Of millions,
billions, tens of billions, hundreds Of
billions,--that is, one hundred and for
ty-four billions, six hundred millions
Of miles. Suppose a railroad car to
travel one thousand'miles per day, and
never to stop, day nor night, it would
take eight hundred thousand years to
make the trip, or one hundred and thir-
ty-three times as long as the world has
stoodl Shade Of Capt. Cook Think
Of such a voyage as this.
The Comets, like the Planets, move
as they would movo if there were no
other planets save the solar system it.
self 1t is fair, therefore, to conclude,
that these Comets do not in their won
drou5 Hight, approach any body or bod
les Of matter by any distance so near as
the sun Hence itfollows, there arc nc
such bodies situated around our own
planet, within the bounds of a sphere
the radius of which is not less than
300, 900, 900, ,OOOof miles. Light, which
travels about 100000 Of miles every
minute, would be eighteen years in
passing over the diameter of this sphere
But perhaps, reader your brain
grows confused with my calculations
and you say, cello, this is dreamy
sort of idea that I have. Can you tell
me, so l may understand, how you make
these calculations? 1t is said figures
cannot lie I want to know if you are

you can measure these things with more
certainty than you can the distance
across the street, or the dimensions of

The vanity Of Riches.


The vanity Of riches is seldom illus
trated so strikingly as in the case of the
great English millionaire, Morrison, who
died worth S20,OOO,OOO: 1t seems to be
one of the conditions of the accumula-
tion of enormous wealth, in a single
generation, that the possessor shall first
disqualify himself from enjoying it, and
in some cases even from appreciating
the fact that he holds it. Mr.. Morri-
son accumulated this almost fabulous
amount himself, and in the regular
course of his business, without any ex-
traordinary turn of fortune; yet the fol-
lowing extract, from a letter in the Bos.
ton Post, shows how little benefit he
permitted himself to receive from all his
wealth. What a satire it is upon the
exclusive devotion of all the faculties to
the mere accumulation of propertyt
"Mr. Morrison retired from active bu-
sihess several years since, without with
drawing his capital from the mercantile
house, and though managing his vast
funds himself up to the time of his
death with all the sagacity of earlier
days, he has for the last three years been
possessed with the idea that he should
come to want, More than two years ago
he commenced doing day labor upon a
farm held by one of his tenants, for
which he received twelve -shillings a
week, and this he continued up to the
time of his illness. For the last eighteen
months he has been areguur applicant
for relief to the parish, assembling twice
week with the town paupers at the
door Of the Union, and receiving with
each one Of them his two shillings and
a quarter loaf His friends have indulg-
ed him in these fancies on the ground
that it was the best choice Of two evils.
The truth is, money was his god, and
the idea became at last too great for him
and broke him down. And yet he is
said to have made a most judicious will
and his Investments up to the last are
characterized by great good sense. The
probate duty on his will exceeds G1OO,.
