Sleep is one of the great essentials oI
health aad happiness. Al!people must sleep
more or less and the amount OF sleep re-
quired for each individual is determined
by his activity, labors, exercises. or the
wear and tear he gives his system. Lazy
peopl- generally need less sleep. and get
more than active ones. There are rules
for sleeping.
lst, Sleep in pure air, in rooms we'll ven
tialed, large, AIRY Avoid close, small
tight, low rooms for sleeping Get accus-
toned to open windows, b.cez.s, fresh
air
9l Sleep at regular timcs. Retire at
stated hours. BE regular in all a )its.
81. Sleep at night, in the night. The
sun sets Us good example much of the
timr. II tire and rise with him. ID not
keep late hours and then sleep late in The
morning. The night was made for sleep.
ith. Sleep with easy stomach; not over
loaded with food, not crowded with rich
pastry, vianis or Injuries: never attempt
to sleep INN liatcly afer hearty meal
a full stomach is death on sleep.
5;h Do not be too warm. Keep comfor
table temperature; but better too cool than
too warm. Avoid warm rooms, hot
localities foe sleeping. close under a root
Oh warm night. Sleep we'll and the
functions of healihi are pretty sure to go
on WE'LL alley Farmer.

City Directory Oh a Small
Scale

Our young friend JONATHAN KNIGHT,
hasshown Us a Directory of this city, ex-
ecuted by himself, with common black
lead pencil on card, one inch aud half
broad, and two inches and half long,
which contains sixty forms, drawn on the
surface of sad card, seperate and distinct
one from the other, forty-two Of said forms
cont>inins the names of business firms
written in full, giving the names Of parties
and their Occupation. On four more forms
are the names Of the four churches Of our
city, their Pastors and denomination. On
another is written the Lords Prayer. the
fom on which it is written can be covered
with three cent piece The other forms
contain the names of the officers, the value
of real and personal. taxable property OF
Carroll county; also the official vote ofthe
Democratic and Republican parties Of the
year 1857.
To accomplish this nice work, written
in full, it requires two thousand three hun
dred and twenty one letters. The Direc
tory can be read with the naked eye with
out difficulty.
Much as has been said of the city Di-
rectory of lafayette and other cities ofla,e;

The distance between Valenlia Bay, in
the South west of Ireland, and ST. Johns,
Newfoundland--the two points of connec-
tion--is 1920 miles.
The transatlantic submarine cable is
somewhat differently made from any pre-
viously manufactured. The core, or con
dactor, is composed like that of the Gulf
cable. of seven copper wires wound to-
gether in the same manner. The pro-
leeiing wires are made into strards, each
composed Of seven of the best charcoal iron
wire. The aggregate length of the smaller
wires required in the manufacture Of one
mile of the cable is one hundred and TWEEN
ty-six miles, and as there was three thau-
sand miles provided for the attempt this
summer. the whole cable was consequently
C c)mposed of three hundred and seventy
eight thousand miles Of this wire.
The cable is exactly 1I-16th of an inch
in diameter just the size Of five cent
yiece--and composed of four parts rs fol-
lows
]. Wire-Elghteen strands Of seven inch
WIRE
9. Six strands of yarn.
3 Gutta percha-lhree coats.
4. Telegraph "ires--sever in number.
The flexibiiIy of this cable is SO great
that it is as manageable as a sail rope and
1t is capable Of being tied around the arm
without injury. Its weight is about 800
pounds to the mile, and its strength is such
that it will bear in water over six miles of
its own length if suspended vertically
Some doubts being entertained as to It's
sinking To- the bottom. il is enough 10 know
that il Is HEAVIER than those shells that have
been taken up from the bed Of the ocean
by Commander Bergman while engaged in
sounding along the line of the telegraph
plateau. Tie experiments reported on our
papers have, besides, set these aoubs com
plclely at rest. /! has been asserted, too,
that the strands Of slender iron wire by
which il is protected will suffer corrosion
or decomposition iii a short time after
their submersion. but in doing 50 the me-
le:ial which they consist will enter into
chemical union with lie soft mud in which
the cable is embedded, and will thus form
a concrete mass of calcaious or saliceous
substance, aiiordin5 the very best Kind of
protection.

Innocent Pleasures.

The Rev Dr. Bellows, of ew York
in an excellent address on "Mrth," re
marked: For my part. | say it in all so
lemnitv, ] have become sincerely sus
picious OF the pieiy of those who do not
love pleasure in any form cannot trus.
the man who never laughs; who is al
ways sedate; who has no apparent outlets
for natural springs of sporliveness aud
gaiety thai are perennial to The humaa sonl.
know that Nature takes her revenge on
such violence. | expect to hud secret
vices, malignant sins, or horiii crimes
springing up in this hot bed e coa6ned
air and imprisoned space; and therefore it
gives me sincere moral grattication
anywhere and in any community, to see
innocent pleasures and popular amuse-
mqnts resisting the religious bigotry that
frowns SO unwisely upon them. Anything
is better than that dark, dead. unhappy
social life; a prey to enmmi and morbid
excitement, which results from uamitiga
ted puritanism. whose second crop is
usually unbrilled license or infamous
folly
