BETWEEN THE BLANKETS. Some people
take their cares and troubles to bed with
them. 1t is bad plan, for they are dia-
bolical bedfelows Even if tired Ma
.ure's sweet restorer" whips the spirit off
to drcamland in the midst of its repinings
and forebodings, there is no comfort for it
there. OF the last sad, waking thoughts
are born visible imps that haunt us in the
realm Of Morpheus, which we fight with
horror all night long. Happy are those
who can put off their day troubles with
their day clothing, and, as they assume
the horizontal, forget all the annoyanccs
that belong to perpendicular life. We
have known people who could do all this
individuals who, after struggling from
morning until night in Sloughs Of De-
spond and getting miserably bemauled by
the Giant Despair. no sooner slipped be-
tween the sheets than the Angel Of Sleep,
who seemed to have been lying in wait
there to bless them, took them on her
wings and bore them to Elysium. To
fight over again in bed the battles of life
as many do in their slunbers, is niser-
able business. Still more unpleasant is
it to be surrendered in sleep to all sorts of
impossible phantoms, which are none the
less di*agreeaolc that they are utterly alb
surd. Worst of all is it to lie through
the weary watches of the night self.tor-
mented. The best thing that nervous,
highly impressible, fidgety people can do
upon going to bed, is to take a teaspoon
ful of that miraculous preparation known
as Vars NERvous ANTIDoTE, and in o
few moments all the troubles of the day
will be forgotten, and sleep-quiet, re-
freshing sleep, without which no mortal
can live for any considerable space Of
time-wil close the portals of thought
and watt the spirit temporarily to realms
Of bliss. The writer Of this article has
tried the experiment and knows whereof
he speaks.

The Future EMPRESS OF RussIA.-The
Princess Dagmar Of Denmark, who is to
be the next Empress OF Russia, is just is
years old. She looks far short Of that
age, says an exchange, from the innocent
loveliness of her manner, and from her
stature. Her eyes and teeth form the fas
cinating beauty Of her face, her features
being Car from regular In complexion
she is brunette; but the skin is Won
der(uliy clear, and the roses of health seem
ever to bloom on her dimpled checks. -
Her stature is rather under middle height,
but her form seems perfect, and her
bust, scarcely yet come to maturity, RI
vals the most perfect of fhorwaldSen's
goddesses in the swaH-like neck, the
gracefully dropping shoulders and the
rounded proportions Of her arms" TO
become Empress of Russia, the young
lady must change her religion aud become
ameRber OF the Greek Church, which
she will doubtless do without serious in
jury to her conscience. or materially les

TIE GuANo TRADE.-The Lima Tempo
Of late date says The guano trade is
very brisk. Although it is long time
since the United States has ceased to be
customer, the shipments of gnano have
been more extensive this year than be-
fore. The reason consists IN the opening
of great many markets in Europe for
this valuable article, as Germany, Italy,
ETC., which formerly did not make use Of
it. But still there is no lack Of Yankee
flags in our harborS. As it is shown in
our shipping intelligence, there are
great many American vessels occupied in
carrying the guanO to the European con-
tinent. These vessels arrive commonly
from China, Australia and San Francisco,
but there is seldom an arrival from the
United State, except neutral flag, and
that not very often. That may perhaps
be the only reason why the English i'm
ports to Peru and to other South Amerl'
can States have so disproportionaly in
creased this year.

The CrrER AMAZoN.-Thc Lima Item.
po Of October 9Th, says:
The most iiattcriuS news has been re
ceived from the district Of the Amazonas.
The Peruvian steamers, which have been
built in England on purpose for the navi
CATION of the Amazon and its atliuents,
have fulfilled their mission, having all en-
tered into the Amazon at Para, and thence
penetrated into the large tributaries,
whose waters augment those Of the king
OF rivers. These Peruvian steamers, of
very light draIght, came up the Pachitea,
one of the great tributaries Of the ANA
zon, as far as to be only distance of 20
leagues from the German settlement Of
Pozuzu. This is very important occur
renee and Of the greatest transcendency
to the commerce Of the whole world
The reports coming from the Peruvian
establishments at the Amazon are very
promising. An active trade is going on
in cochinills, cotton, coffee, and other in.
tertropical articles. The opening Of the
Amazon will doubtless be attended by
the most happy results, ani will ben

ELECTION FARCE. The election in In

ly and often, where they Of course had no
right to vote at ALL 1t is stated that in
indianapolis an officer took hundred
men and visited each Of the seventeen
wards, and deposited hundred votes in
each for the Abolition candidates. In
this way the vote Of that city Of 10000
inhabitants was swelled to 10000 giving
an Abolition majority Of about 6,OO0!-
Another case is given where 200 Mass
achusetts soldiers passed over one line of
railroad on the day Of election, stopping
and voting at ever town on the way
This is the way in which the election was
carried. Morton was elected Governor
