Mon,ez, "are in their graves at present, over

the former.

SLEEP.-"Bkssiags ON his head" exclaim.
ed the philosophical Sancho, "who first invent
ed sleep" Glorious invention! Eternal, uni
versal patentrighti How do thy comforts de-
scend upon the weary and teil-won-the poor
and the rich-the sick and the healthful:-
How, upon the eye-lids of each aud all, fall
thy Influences ike the dews of evening upon
the closing fowersl Oh, there is a richness
In the gift of SLEEPS wealth which he alone
can prize. who, from some affection of mind or
body, has lost its. possession! See the con-
s-cieReestricken wretch tossing on his pallet of
STRAW, and clanking the chains which bind
him to his dungeon! A heavier chain is fast
eacd en- his seul-a chain which keeps him
from the world of sleep, or, if its links do but
l~engthen, and he enters that world, imagina-
tssa peoples it with "gorgons, hydras, and
chifneras dire" He sees nothing of those
pure beings that hover round the sleep of the
iaaocent-those spirits which como to him, in
that hour, as from the threshold of heaven,
reckoning him on to its golden. gates. He
hears not the well-remembered voices of friends,
of parents and kindred, who now slumber peace
fully in the grave. Their voices. if heard, are
heard only to upbraid him-their forms rise
before him to shrink Immediately from his
presencei What a contrast to this scene is
the sleep of the lnnocenti The sleep of that
picture of innocence, an infant, bearing, as it
always appears to, the fresh touches of the
Creators hand, and being all over redolent of
Heaven View it as it slumbers peacefully in

MUSCLE is a not uncommon thing to hear
all who do not possess musical ears, denounced
as bartarians, Cloths and VandLls-in short, it
seems to be conceded that, as Shakespeare hath
Il The man that hath no music in himself,
49, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Ia fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his soul are dull as night,
And his.affsctions dark as Erebus;
Let no such man be trusted"
We are not of those who believe that, as a
general thing, the untuned ear is deserving
of such reproach, although even the grave
historian, Polybius, ascribes the humanity of
the ancient Areadians to their knowledge of
the musical art, and the barbarity of their neigh
bors, the .Cynethians, to their neglect of it
Nor are we at all convinced that we are in cr-
ror. because Beattie does not suppose that a
man of PoIypius' penetration could be mistaken
In a matter of this kind.
To show the falsity of this musical theory,
we might adduce numerous instances. The
love of elegant Poetry, ard OF Music, both the
offspring of refinement, are often disassociated
Burke, for example, was an ardent lover of Po-
etry, and particularly of Milton, in which his
.exuberant mind discovered kindred reflections.
But Burke had little ear for music. Fox had
none at all. The ears of Pitt and I,r. johnson
were equally tuneless. After all, we believe
that the profession which thousands make for
music is only an affected penchant.

EVANSVILLE, IND. SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2s 1861

Be77~ The London Times treats the ques-
ton of slavery, Browns invasion and the dis
solution of the Union, with practical judg-
ment and sagacity. 1t sets forth clearly
and strongly the interest which English
men feel in the maintenance of our Union,
and the regret with which they would see
any material disturbance of its peace. 1t
says;
'The Union of the American people is of
Importance not only to themselves, but to
the world at large. To Englishmen, the
spread of our language, of our religion, and
to certain extent of our laws and manners,
can never cease to be an object of interest +;
nor can we desire success to the fanatics
who, in their wild dream of raising an in
ferior race, would imperil all that has been
accomplished in the New World during two
centuries of industry and genius.

CrEcINNATI, Jan. 81, M.-The excursion
train with the Legislatures of Kentucky,
Tennessee, and Ohio, with the military of
Dayton, Columbus, and Springfield, num-
bering II cars, arrived at three o'clock this
afternoon, and was received at the depot by
immense crowds of citizens. A procession
was formed and marched through the
streets, which were densely thronged, to
Pixies Opera House, where the reception
took place, and the hospitalities of the city
were rendered by Mayor Bishop and Judge
Storer. Gov. Magofin. the Lieut.. Governor of
Tenn, Gov. Dennison, of Ohio and others,
made speeches. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed and the Opera House was thronged
to its utmost capacity. The crowds in the
neighborhood of the Opera House were the
merriest ever witnessed in Cincinnati. The
efforts of the entire police force were almost
powerless to force passage for the process
sion. 1t appeared as if the whole city had
turned out to welcome the distinguished
guests. The enthusiasm was intense. The
streets were decorated with flags, notices,
&c. Tonight grand banquet comes off at
the Burnet House. Tomorrow the entire
steam fire department will be exhibited
