MISCELLANY.

MIDNIGHT Hufeland, in his treatise on
sleep, has some curious, as well as forcible
ideas on the necessity of devoting midnight to
rest and sleep. He considers the period of
twenty-four hours, which is produced by the
regular revolution of the earth upon its axis,
marks its influence most definitely on the
physical economy of man. Diseases show
the regular influence in their daily rise and
fall. Settled, regular fever exhibits twenty
four hours fux and reflux. In the heathful
state there is manifest the same regular infiu-
ence, and the more habitual our meals, our
hours of exercise or employment, and our
hours of sleep, the more power is in the system
to resist disease. In the morning the pulse is
slow and the nerves calmer, and the mind and
the body better fitted for labor. As we ad-
vance towards the evening of the day, the
pulse becomes accelerated, and an almost fe-
verish state is produced, which, in excitable
persons, becomes an absolute evening fever.
Rest carries off this fever by its sleep, and the
refreshing opening of its pores which sleep
produces. In this nightly respiration there is
an absolute crisis of this evening fever, and
this periodical crisis is necessary for every indi
vidual, as 1t carries off whatever useless or per-
nicious particles our bodies may have imbibed.
This evening fever, Huieland thinks, is not en-
tirely owing to the accession of new chyle to
the system, but to the departure of the sun
and of the light. The crisis of this fever, to
be most effective by its regularity, ought to
take place at midnight, when the sun is in its
nadir, and then the body will become refreshed
for the early morning labor. Those who neg
lect this period, either push the diurnal crisis
into the morning, and thus undermine the i'm
portance of its regularity, or lose it entirely,
and arise to their labors unrefreshed by sleep.
Their bodies will not have been purified by the
crisis, and the seeds of disease will have thus

a Poets PEN.


One of our country's most venerable and
venerated poets, having been presented by
Mr.. A. Morton with gold pen of his manu-
facture, returned his acknowledgements there
for in the following verses:
MORTON, / am much behoden
For this pen, so purely golden;
Pen, that feasts critics eyeso;
Pen, that when YOU use il, flies so;
Pen, whose nib, SO 1.-THE and taper,
Value gives TO any paper,
When you write graceful sonnet,
Or a note of hand upon it,
please observe sir, say you write;
Notes of hand never do write;
Tho I've done such things OF yore,
I'm resolved to 'sin no more, y
Pen, / say, so purely golden,
For the which I'm much behoden
To the eye, in dust that found it:
To the mill, from quartz that ground it;
To the spade from earth that dug it,.
To the hand that clutched the nugget
That had lain for countless ages.
s As neglected as the pages,
That. when am Muse-smitten,
With this pen may yet be wrltten,-
Pen tonce more , so purely golden,
For which I'm mnch beholden
To the "captain bold that went to
Bring the tin" from Sacramento:
To the furnace where twas smelted,
To the coal wherewith twas melted -
Is il not, from this deducible,
That IL am debtor TO the cruc1ble
That the liquid, when red hot,
Kept from going ''all 70 potg''
That cup--fire-clay and pumbago-
Would not let the drops astray go,
But, the current Ger IT'S mp,
Made into the matrice slip;
Where relieved from torturing flame,
A ''cooI''ingot il became
To the huge and heavy hammers,
Welded by the lusty hammers.
Who, with blows sure fates,
Beat that ingOt into platesg
To the rollers, turned so true,
Into sheets those plates that drewy
To the presses and the dies,
That, to just the proper size,
Cut those sheets TO form the peny
To the cunning "chiel" who then
Fused the iridosmn point
To the gold, with such joint
That no and tear shall ever
The two precious metals sever!
To that miracle of cunning,
The thin wheel that, swiftly running,
Splits that point and metal sheet,
And then brings the parts TO meet
Like well matched groom and bride,
That shall ave, one, abide;
And, one, shall work together,
Whatsoe'cr the wind or weather,
Neither larger, neither smaller,
Neither shorter neither taller,
Neither slower neither quicker
Neither thinner, neither thicker,
Neither limberer than the other,
Neither sitter than its brother;
Neither twisted out of shape, or,
Piercing through the thinnest paper
Both, as wills the wise designer,
Making full stroke, finer;
And, as pens are bound, in duty
Leaving lines of grace and beauty.
For this pen soon, so golden,
To all these am behoden!
But--my eulogy TO shorten
Still more do owe to NORTON;
Norton, untranscendcd planner
OF improvements. in the manner
OF producing GOLDEN PENS,
That surpass all other mems
Is there-can there be-a greater
Judge of pens-or fabricatorg
Who, by me unasked, unknown,
Moved by mercy all his own,
Thinking what must have paid
For gold pens. by bunglers made,
Guessing what would fit my hand,
This selected for me, and,
With billett. brief. but pleasant,
Sent it to me--ds a presenn"'
