Had set no thorns to mar the petals bland.
Compose her limbs TO ulat sweet grace

While they are supple now that she is gone,
OF her late suffering conceal the trace.
Nay, close her eyes more firmly, go

SLEEP.--Thcre is no fact more clearly
established in the physiology of man than
this, tha; the brain expends its energies
and itself during the hours Of wakeful-
ness, and that these are recuperated dur
ing sleep; if the recupcration does not
equal the expenditure, the brain withers
this is insanity. Thus it is that, in
early English history, persons who are
condemned to death by being prevented
from sleeping always die ravng 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 differences are these. First,
Those who think most, who do brain
work, require more sleep. Second, That
time saved from necessary sleep, is infalli.
bly, destructive to mind, body, aud cs-
tate. Third, Give yourself, your chill
dren, your servants--give all that are
under YOU the fullest amount of sleep
they will take, by compelling them to 90
to bed at some regular hour, and to rise
in the morning the moment they awake;
and, within fortnight, nature with al.
most the regularity Of the rising sun,
will loosen the bonds Of sleep the mo.
ment enough rcpose has been secured for
the wants of the system. This is the
only safe and sufficient rule--and as to
the question how much sleep any one re-
quires, each must have a rule for himself
--great nature will never fail to write it
out to the observer under the regulations
Just given.

While on the effect Of darkness, let me
say that the most timid and supersticious

QuID Pro QUo.-We stated yesterday
that the Republican Legislature of Michi-
gan had passed a bill amendatory Of the
prohibition law of the State, by which
ale and beer were placed on a footing
with other Intoxicating beverages; so that
hereafter nothing stonger than coffee can
be legally imbibed by the Wolverines
Fearing that the passage Of this bill
would affect very seriously tho German
element Of the party, the Republican
Legislators have offered an equivalent 20
their Toutonic brethren, in the shape Of
grant of 25,000 acres Of land, for the
benefit Of German-English University
proposed to be erected. \ week before,
the bill did not stand the slightest chance
Of passage; but after placing prohibition
upon the sale Of beer and ale, the Repub
licaus felt that they had committed
which demanded atonement, aud
hence the bounty for German favor in
the donation OF $4,000 acres Of land for
the benefit Of University which has no
precedent in kind in the United States.

THE CREDIT SIDE OF THE LEDGER.-In
twenty-five thousand acres of
land to German American Seminary,
to be established in this city, the Legis-
lature has made some compensation to
our German fellow-citizens for the foolish !

their Judgment upon the former act, it
would be but right that they should take

Ever of.thee I'm fondly dreaming

EKANCiPATIoN IN CoNGREss.-0ne dav S
obseI walton and intercourse among the mem
bers OF congress has led 10 the conclusion that
with two or three insignificant eXcep.
tions the senators and representatives agree in
utter detestation OF the whole rebtlIion aud in
the uncompromising spirit Of putting il dowa al
whateuer cost! Among those most urgent and
resolute in taking these positions are demo.
Gratis There is, indeed, good deal of differ
ence as to the means or manner of giving ef
feet TO this policy. Some are for declaration
of emancipation Of the slaves of the in.ur-
gents Others for the couGscation of save
property and another class for Ievyng tax
upon the shareholders, so that they may by
such a process feel the heaviest burdens OF the
war. But on all sides, as well OH the part OF
Thaddeus Stevens in the house, aud Lyman
TrumLull in the senate. as well among the ul-
ira republicans as among !he ultra democrats,
there is an open expression that the property
OF the loyal slavehuIlers should be protected
or paid ior.-COi. Fofneys Press.

WHEAT WEED 1t has long been sus-
pected that the cereal grains are but cultivated
examples OF wild cereal grasses-tlat they
were not created as corn, but that they have
been improved by cultivation into their
present condition. This suppostion was con-
firmed by NJ. Fabre of Agde, in the south of
France, who, in 1888, sOwed some grains of
the 4Agilops ovata, "a common cereal grass, and,
by successive sowing in garden soil, produced
in 1910, crops of real wheat as fine as any to
be found in the neighborhood. This expert
nent is now being carried ON by the professor
of geology and botany in the Royal Agricu-
tuTal College, and the grass is gradually un.
dergong the same transformation into the true

CHANCES OF MARRYIYG-Some industri
ous mathematician has calculated the proba-
bilites of matrimony at different ages which
exhibit results Of rather startling character.
In the first two quinquenmal periods, 20-25
and $3.50, the probability of Il widower mar
rying in year is nearly three times as great
as hat of bachelor. AT 80 it is nearly four
times as great, from 80 to 45 it is FIVE times as
great and it increases, until at 60 the chance
of widower marrying in year is eleven
times as great as that of bachelor. 1t is a
little curious to remark from this table how
confirmed either class becomes in its condition
of lite--how little likely, after few years, is
a bachelor TO break through his habits and a
solitary condition and on the other hand
how readily in proportion does husband con
tract second marriage who has been perma-
turely deprived Of his first wife. Alter tie
age OF 80 the probability of bachelor marry
, ing in a year dminishes, in most rapid ratio
The probability at 50 is not much more than
half that of 80. and nearly the same proportion
exists between each quinquennial period after
wards.

THE MAssACREs AT DAHoMEY.-The last
advices lrou Africa state that another of those
diaboli, al massacres, which are stigma on

at Dahomey. The cannibal king was going

the preparations were to have been Of the most
complete character. All the principal natives
and traders al Lagos had received invitations
to be present to witness the ceremony of cut
ting off the heads of about two thousand hu
man beings. From this it would appear that
the protest lately made against such acts of
barbalism, by the British government, through
the late Mir. Consul Foote, has had no effect
on the king OF Dahomey and the general OPP
inion appears to be that, until His Majesty"
is disposed of by summary or other means,
this reign OF terror will not abate. The cult-
