Wonders of Sleep.

In Turkey, if man fall asleep in the
neighborhood of poppy field, and the
wind blow toward him, he becomes par
cotized, and would die, if the country
people, who are we'll acquainted with the
circumstances, did not bring him to the
next well or stream and empty pitcher
after pitcher of water on his face and
body. DR.. AppenhenIm, during his res
idence in Turkey, owed his life to this
simple and efficacious treatment. DIR.
Graves, from whom this anecdote is quo.
ted, also reports the case OF gentleman
thirty years of age, who, from long con.
tinued sleepiness, was reduced to a com
plete living skeleton, unable to stand on
his legs. 1t was partly owing TO dis
ease, but chiefly to abuse of opium, until
at last, unable to pursue his business, he
sank into abject poverty and woe. DR..
Reid mentions friend of his, who, when
ever anything occurred to distress him,
soon became drowsy and fell asleep. A
student at Edinburgh, upon hearing sud
denly of the unexpected death of near
relative, threw himself on his bed, and
almost instantaneousy, amid the glare of
MONDAY, sunk into profound slumber.
Another person, reading 10 one of his
dearest friends stretched on his death bed,
fell asleep, and, with his book still in his
hand, went on reading, utterly uncon-
scious of what he was doing. A woman
at Hamadt slept IL or 8 hours day for
Is years. Another is recorded to have
once slept four days. DIR. Macnish men
tions woman who spent three fourths
of her life in sleep; and DR.. Elliotson
quotes a case of young lady who slept
for six weeks and recovered. The ven
cradle St. Augustine, of Hippo, prudent
ly divided his hours into three parts-6
to be devoted 10 sleep, 8 10 meditation. 8
to converse with the world. Maniacs are
reported, particularly in the eastern hem
isphere, to become furiously vigilant du-
ring the full of the moon, more especial
ly when the deteriorized rays of its po-
larized light are permitted 10 fall into
their apartments hence the name OF lu-
natics. There certainly is greater
proneness to disease during sleep than in
the waking state, for those who pass the
night in the Campsgua di Roma inevita-
bly, become infected with its noxious air
while travellers who go through without
stopping, escape the miasma. Intense
cold produces sleep. and those who per-
ish in the snow, sleep on till the sleep of
death.

ANOTHER "SINGULAR E."-A
short article appeared recently in the
Springfield Republican, headed "a sin
gular case" and relating that man in
New Hampshire had an inordinate era
wing for onions during his last sickness,
which were denied him, ard that after his
death a calcareous substance was found
in bis stomach which was completely dis
solved by accidental contact with onion
Juice. The article come to the notice of
DIR. r. Shelton Mackenzie of Philadel-
phia, who has written TO US an an account
OF another case equally singular, and the
two together ought to hoist onions into
high regard and frequent use in certain
cases. DIR. Mackenzie writes -
"My grandfather, who was one hun
dred years old on the day l was born,
was country gentleman in the south oi
Ireland. From his thirteenth TO his fif.
teenth year he suffered greatly from the
painful disease of stone in the bladder.
At The age of fifty be submitted to the
operation of Iithotomy, and the stone was
taken out understanding in shape
and color an ordinary square of CASTLE
soap, with the corners rubbed off by use
at the wash basin. AS might be expect
ed, the favorable issue of then rare and
dangerous operation drew many persons
to see the stone. AT last, when the gen
eral curiosity was satisfied, the stone was
laid by in the drawer of bureau. Sew
eral weeks later medical friend desired
to see the stone, and was directed to take
it out of the drawer. To the surprise of
all, the stone had nearly vauished-all
but a small residuum, resembling a dark
Jelly. Iu the drawer there were several
large Spanish onions. The doctor came
TO the conclusion that the onions might
have dissolved the stone, and, from that
time, made raw onions leading part of
the food which he permitted to patients
suffering with gravel, urinary calculus or
stone. i have heard that his success was
remarkable and invariable. My grand
father lived more than 20 years-he died
at l12-after the operation, made onions
constant part of his food, and never had
Q recurrence of bis complaint. l believe
that an account of this case was publish
ed in the Hibernian Magazine in 1880.
IL curiously corroborates the statement in
your paragraph"

GRAMMAR MACHINEs.-Thes student
OF language who ends with the linguist-
les of Bopp and Grimm had better never
have begun: for grammar has but
value, not worth it is a means, not an
end it teaches but half-truths, and, ex-
cept as an introduction to literature and
that which literature embodies, it is a
melancholy heap Of leached ashes, mar
rowless bones, and empty oyster shells.
You may feed the human intellect upon
roots, stems, and endings, as you may
keep horse upon saw-dust; but you
must add little literature in the one case,
little meal in the other, aud the more
the better in both. Many years ago,
Brown, an American grammarian, invent
ed what be called parsing machine, for
teaching grammar. 1t was mahogony
box, some two feet square, provided with
crank, filled with cog and crown wheels,
pulleys, bands, shafts, gudgeons, coup
lings, springs, cams and eccentrics aud
with several trap sticks projecting through
slots in the top of it. When played upon
by an expert operator, il functioned, as
the French say, very well, and ran thro'
the syntactical categories as glbly as the
footman in Scriblerius did through The
predicates. But it had one capital defect,
namely, that the pupil must have learned
grammar by some simpler method before
he could understand the working Of the
contrivance, and its lessons, therefore,
came rather late. There are many sad
compounds of printers ink and brain
dribble" styled "E nglish h grammars,"
which, as a means of instruction, are, upon
the whole, inferior to Browns gimcrack.

we hired girl to do the work one
while,' explained Mr.. Lance, 'but she
wasted so She made a pound less but
ter week than Jock does out of the milk,
and then she had to have seventy-fve
cents a week for wages, and there was
her board besides.
A few years after this Jonathan Lance
became too infrm with years to labor on
his farm. Obliged to stay in the house
with poor imbecile Beulah, his great am
usement and enjoyment was this: He
had bag of gold and silver coin to the
value of five hundred dollars continually
near him; these pieces of gold and sill
yer he counted, played with, looked at
foudly, and returned TO the bag, once, at
least, every day. His strength continu-
ing to fail, he was obliged TO keep his
bed. He was conscious that the time
drew near for his departure; that it came
on with no tardy steps; he lay upon his
pillow, fondled his gold, patted it as tho
it were favorite dog; but becoming too
weak to place it beneath his pillow, he
sent for a neighbor, and after causing
about twenty dollars to be counted out
for the pet and plaything of his last hours,
he gave the remainder into his hands as
executor.
Take this, Mr.. Minor, and see that it
goes to my heirs Gathering up bis lit
tie remaining strength he said: Mr.. Mi
nor, ! want you to 60 to the south east
corner of the barn dig there ; you will
come upon a board under that board is
a pot of money; bring it to me- This
was done.
Now sir, 90 to the cellar in the south
east corner dig; you will come upon
board beneath that board is another pot
Of money bring it TO me-
These two earthen pots Of gold and
silver money were given into Mr.. Minors
hands, and now he had only strength to
lay his hand endearingly upon the bag of
twenty dollars reserved for his last com
fort
Then slowly upward did the cold death creep
From foot to face with its strange lines of white,
and Jonathan Lance passed out from the
old house, from melancholy Beulah, from
the gold and the silver, and the farm J;

Little Sadie, our delight,
Our sweet Sadie, stiff and white
On her brow shadow lies,
Dims the lovelight in her eyes;
Folded hands are pale and chill,
Little form is strangely still;
Heeds she not the warm caresses
Showered on cheek and brow and tresses;
But with bitter binding tears
Comes the thought which comforts, cheers,
Not our Sadie thus reposes,
Still and chill and strewn with roses,
Only what was weak and mortal,
Left she here at Deaths grim portal.
Through the valley dark and dread.
BY a holy angel led,
Went our little trusting Sadie
Cheered by words from Heaven, it may be.
Though the way was lone and weary,
Though the shadows black and dreary,
Never felt her spirit fear,
Never longed to linger here;
HFather, mother, sisters too"
She could leave for Jesus true,
Der the river dark and cold
Saw the cleaning streets of gold,
Knew the Savior waiting stood
Just beyond the swelling food.
Never wavered then nor tainted
She, our Sadie, now the sainted!
Rests our tender precious blossom
Safe in Jasusb loving hosOm
Little Sadie who has died
Dur sweet Sadie, gloritied!
Tiny feet shall never tire,
White hands sweep an angels Tyre,
Happy eyes shall shed no tears,
Peaceful heart shall know no fears -
Lay the dear form meath the sod,
She, our darling, dwells with God
Let no sad regretful feeling
Dim this glorious revealing!
Though our pathway, sad and lonely,
Leads through Cypress shadows only,
And midst yearnings wild and longings,
Memories of the lost come thronging,
From the bliss and glory would we
Call her back to earth cen could WEI

Ours in loving, sweet caresses,

Is still ours, though glorifed.

The Beauty Of Dying.

Iy and MOaghyuly read by all. They
are worthy of being treasured in the in
nermost heart Of hearts :--
~ mean the event of dying. Before
the coming of Christ death was sunset
but be has reversed it, and il is sunrise,
now, under the Christian dispensation,
and in the light of the revelations of the
New Testament. 1t is when we die, /
had almost said, that our joys begin to
blossom. They are buds till death comes.
Death is the spring that opens them
Victory is sounding like many -chorded
band about the hour of dying Tn the
Christian teaching all forms of beauty
are there. Sorrow and sighing flee from
the presence of death. 1t is emancipa-
ton. 1t is wedding.
The terms that designate dying in the
New Testament are falling asleep in Je-
sus There is nothing so beautiful in the
world, as at evening, when the birds are
hushed, and everything is quiet, for a
little child to run and nestle in its mo-
thers arms, and, in the midst of sweet
singing and caressings, falls asleep on
her bosom; and yet that is the figure
which the New Testament employs to
represent dying. Falling asleep in Je-
sus He gathers his children to himself
at the evening of life, and soothes them
to rest, and they think that they are 60
ing to sleep, but they wake to sleep no
more.
1t is around about dying, that abhorred
act, that dreaded golgotha, that the New
Testament gathers all these sweet words
and ideas. If there is one thing in re-
spect to which man is yet in state of
saYagesm and barbarism, it is the idea of
dying. In the New Testament that is
the local point of light but in our ordi
nary feelings it is the local point of dark
ness. In the New Testament it is like
midday but in our ordinary feelings it
is like midnight. We are striving to
make it not only as painful in the antci-
patton, but as repulsive and horrible in
the act, as we can. And when one dies,
though the person departs with the inno-
cency of childhood, or with full Chris
tian faith, the house is made to stand out
with insignia of extreme and unutterable
grief; and despair is hung in colors, and
pictured on our very faces and our
Christian conduct is conduct that bellies
the inspiration and teaching of the New
Testament on the subject of death. And
when we speak of a mans dying as
thing that is glorious, or say that it is bet
ter for young man to die for his country
than to live hundred years of ordinary
commercial selfshness, people are shock
ed for there is a heathen, barbarous
savage notion in respect to dying, as
though it was Gods guillotine by which
men were sacrificed in loathsome way,
while in the New Testament it is spoken
of as Gods bed of ease and sweet couch,
wherein He rocks men to sleep; as Gods
emancipation as all that is bright and
cheering and hopeful.
Take away, then, all that there is in
the past, and take away all that there is
of fear and vexation in the future, and
bring men into the full inspiration of the
truth, that God loves them, and watches
over them, and takes care of them by
day, and that Jesus Christ has manifested
himself for their salvation"

Five more regiments of the invalid corps
