EFFECTS OF the Loss OF SLEEP.-
There is no fact more clearly established in
the physiology Of man than this: that the
brain cxpends its energies and itself dur
ing the hours of wakcfiIlness, and that
those are recuPerated during sleep. If
the recuperation does not equal the expcn-
diture, the brain wilhers-and this il
called insanity.
Thus it is that, according to English
history, persons who were condemned to
death by being prevented from sleeping,
always died raving maniacs Thus it is.
also, that those who are starved to death
become insane; the brain is not nourished,
and they cannot sleep, The practical in
ferences are these:
l. Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep.
2. Time saved from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body and
estate.
}. Give yourself, your children, your
Servants-Sive all that are under you full

compelling them to go to bed at some
regular early hour, and to arise the mo-
ment they awake; and, within fortnight

Recommendations to farmers to plant la gely. that
We may raise abundance to supply an extra de-
mand for food. My advice is, plant sparingly.
that we may not overtsx our labor to cultivate
t1oyoagls,y IT is true that many Of US may be q
little more industrious, and work little harder,
and cultivate more thoroughly Many Of the
hands employed on farms have left for the army.
Let us remember the privations, suferings, indus
try and perseverance of our fathers when they
established this free government Many Of our
friends and neighbors in the army will not have
all the comforts we have at home, aud they will
have to snFer some hardships. Let US at home
put our hands to the soil and add to the industry
and not to the acres.
The longer live the more I see the importance
of more thorough cultivation in oil things that
grow grain, vegetables, fruit trees and shrubs.
Farmers, keep your horse and pillow moving. and
when the horse is heated and tired, use the hoe
and keep the weeds clear. Harrow the corn and
potatoes thoroughly, when they are coming up.
Plow often and pillow late. The field roller is Of
great service when the planted crops are coming
up; and roll wheat, oats and barley when four
inches high because the roller brushes and pulver
ICES the lumps-breaks up the crust which rain
forms on the surface. Do not water trees and,
plants and ave crust on the surface. Do not
stir the ground when it will make mud. for it
becomes hard when dry. Soft, mellow pulverized
earth is best for all plants and trees.
Some agricultural writer has said he really
thought weeds we're blessing, for they kept us
stirring the ground to keep them down. Plow
deep, plant cautiously all that we can cultivate
thoroughly, and if Providence favors we will have
a rousing big crop. SUEL FOSTER.

To JosErH a. GREEN, ESQ. Dear Sir: As
old party lines have been obliterated in the
present emergency, and IS men are to DO
elected to Office more on account Of their in
tegrity and fitness than for mere political
considerations, we may hope for high and
disinterested patriotism in the administra-
ton of our State and National governments.
Under these considerations, it is matter Of
congratulaticn that you are suggested As
proper man to fill the Senatorial vacancy from
this county.
But as new questions arise with the
change Of times, so, even now, new ques-
tons Of State policy have arisen among us.
1t is commonly reported, sir, that at the
coming extra session of the Legislature an
attempt soiN Be made to authorize the sus-
pension Of specie payment BY the State Bank;
an act, which, though it would benefit = few,
would, in the end, render the issues OF the
bank worthless it would bring ruin to the
home of many citizen, and prove DISASTROUS
to the best interests of the State.
I am, therefore, requested by number Of
your fellow citizens to ask you the following
question:
If you are elected. soill you support, or cote
for an act authorizing the suspensson Of sps-
Gle payment By our State Bank, or its
branches?
An early reply will oblige number of
your personal friends, among whom l am
happy to subscribe myself,
Yours, truly, SAMUEL McNuTr.
