EFFECTS OF THE Loss OF SLEEP.-There
is no fact more clearly established in
the physiology Of man than this that
the brain expcnds its energies and 1t
self during the hours of wakefulness,
and that those are recuperated during
sleep. If the recuperation does not
equal the expenditure, the brain with
ers-and this Is called insanity.
Thus it is that, according to English
history, persons who were condemned
to death 10y being prevented from sleep
ing, alv avs died raving maniacs. Thus
it is, also, that those who are starved
to death, become insane ; the brain is
not nourishcd, and they cannot sleep.
The practical differences are these:
| Those who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep.
2. Time saved from necessary sleep
is infaliibly destructive to mind, body,
and estate.
3. Give yourself, your children, your
servants-give all that are under you tho
fullest amount of sleep they will take,
by compelling them to go to bed at
some regular early hour, and to arise
the moment they awake +; and within a
fortnight Nature, with almost the reg
ularity of the rising sun, will unlooso
the bands of sleep the moment enough
repose has been secured for the wants
of the system. -. b.
This is the only safe and sufficient
rule and as to the question how much
sleep any one requires, each must be a
rule for himself (; great Nature will
never fail to write it out to the obser.
yer, under the regulations just given.

PAPER NECK-TIEs.--A new invention.
which will be of interest to the Beau
Brummels of the day, is the paper neck
tie, printed in imitation of silk and
bingham with such exactness as to de-
fy detection The New York CONNER
cial asks, Why stop here? Why not
employ paper in the manufacture OF
other articles of use and adornment
besides collars and neck-ties? There
is no reason why gentlemen's shirt bos-
ons may not be made of paper, and in
either summer or winter would be de-
cidedly comfortable. In the summer
they might be perforated in imitation
Of lace, and so give opportunity for
ventilation, while in winter their tex
ture would be irmer, and consequently
warmer, and in some cases more desir-
| able than linen. The great advantage
of the paper neck-tie, especially in New
York city, will be that the wearer will
be less liable to garroting.

na- Set a pitcher of water in room
and in a few hours it will have absorbed
nearly all the respired and perspired
gases in the room, the air of which will
have become purer but the water utterly
filthy. The colder the water is, tho
greater its capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperatures, Q
pint of water will contain a pint OF car
bonic acid gas, and several pints Of
ammonia. This capacity is nearly
doubled by reducing the water to the
temperature of ice. Hence, water kept
in the room awhile, is always unit Tor
use. For the same reason the water IN
a pump-stock should always be pumped
out in the morning before any is used.
Impure water is more injurious thar

STRANGE LAwsUIr.-A gentleman sat
at a far0>table in the town of koethen,
in Saxony. playing with the usual at
tention am silence. Several plays
were madeAand the cards which the
gentleman continued unchanged to put
forward won repeatedly. The gold
pushed towards the winner by the crou-
pier, however, was not drawn by him.
and after several more Accommodations
had made the pile inconvCniently large,
the keeper of the bank rather angrily
requested the fortunate man to take Ill
his money. With his eye fixed Oh tho
card, the player took no notice of the
request. "Draw in your gold p was
again uttered by several round the ia.

croupier. The same otionless silence.
A rerson sitting next the offender took
hold of his hand. The winner was dead.
As the body was being removed the
croupicr drew back the money he had
showed toward the dead body, alleging
that the game based upon reciprocal
engagements could not exist between
the dead and the living. The heirs OF
the dcfunct presented themselves tho
day after, declaring that the winner
had regularly commenced and continued
the game. The question was carried
before the tribunal of Koethen, which
decided that the heirs of the deceased
! were entitled to his winnings.

THE DEPARTURE.


I gave him my hand as he turned 10 depart,
Our mother stood weeping by;
shed few tears that were bursting my heart
And heaved many long, weary sigh.
And twas thus that he left US. my brother Sc
dear,
Our feelings no mortal can tell:
Oh! who can so choke back the turbulent tears,
As calmly to say, fare-thee-welli
But in care Of omnipotence we gave him up,
And tried hard to speak words Of cheer;
We found that though twas most bitter cup,
Yet we knew 'twould be mixed with his
tears.
What e'er can do viii be cheerfully done,
Was his ery-I will battle for right;
Pray, mother, that God may watch over your
son
That he may be guided Alright.
The country has now much need of her braves;
If we go not, all, ell will be lost;
So fare-thee.well, sister; go her to save,
Though the forfeit of life be the cost.
Our commanders a blessing to the country
indeed
Our comrades are all brave and true;
On! onl is our war cry; on! on! with great
speed
Wen put the secessionists through.
May God bless the whole army, is the prayer
Of my heart,
: And prosper the cause of the right;
May all in the service do well their part
For the Union right valiantlY fight.

Of War was held last evening.
The reconnaissance In force deter

A scout who arrived last night re-
ports the enemy moving slowly in this
direction. McCulloch has the advance.
and on Friday was ten miles this side Of
Cassville. so that by to-day they must
be very near rs. A battle is imminent
at every hour. The enemy greatly ex-
ceeds our force. but no fears are felt for
the result. Our army is all here now
excepting General Hunters division.

shsrp-shooters were the only troops
that left with General Fremont. Gen.

GEN. MCCLELLAN CoSFIDEKr.-Col.
Fornry writes or Friday evening to the
Philadelphia Press:
Gen Mcclellan does not seem to
have lost any Of his confidence and
energy since the affair at Balls Bluff.
He is in the highest spirits, an 4 l learn,
from the best authority, that the army
under his command is equal to one
hundred and fifty thousand we'll
seasoned troops. and ready to be led TO
the attack at any moment. Although
this affair was undoubtedly disaster,
and. under ordinary circumstances,
might produce delay, yet in contrast
with the enormous army under his
control. and his long prepared pro-
gramme, 1t may be regarded as a
matter of comparatively subordinate
importance. 1t ought to be borne in
mind that, in our advance into Virgins,
we are contending against foe that
knows his ground, and against the
influence of secret enemies, who con-
vey every item of intelligence to the
rebel leaders. do not doubt that in a
very short time you will receive good
news. and that the men so long painting
for an opportunity TO meet the traitors
TO our country in open field will be
grsti6ed.

~In French journal. entitled
FeuiHe de Tout le Mond, an explanation
is gwen of fact which has puzzled
sporting men-namely. why the lef
barrel Of gun bursts so much more
frequently than the right? The ex'
planaiion is ,his:--The sportsman on
going out loads both barrels, and, on
seeing a bird rise. fires naturally the
right one; he reloads that barrel, and
when he again sees a bird or hare be
fires it again; and so he does perhaps
twenty times in succession. But each
firing gives shock to the charge III
the leit-hand barrel, and at last tie
succession Of shocks separates the
wadding from the powder and shot; tie
consequence is that vacuum ensues
between them, and when the second
barrel is fred it frequently bursts. To
prevent this danger. the recommendl-
tion is made that whenever the right
hand barrel IL loaded, the charge 10
the left-hand one should also be ram
med down.
