George Washington, of Virginia, was Pres

John Adams, of Massachusetts,, was Presi-

ferson, of Virginia was President for eight
years James Madison, of ditto, eight years;
James Monroe, ditto, eight years; John Q.

four years Zachary Taylor, of Louisiana, one
year and four months Millard Fillmore, of
New York. two years and eight months ;
Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire four
years, and James Buchanan, Of Pennsylya-
MIA, four years. 1t will be seen that during the
seventy two years which elapsed between the
inauguration of George Washington and the
incoming of the Administration of Abraham
Lincoln the Slave States Of the Union have
had their citizens occupying the Presidential
chair for fortynine years and three months
while the Free States have had the same
honor conferred upon their citizens, for
twenty-five years and three months, consid-

A POPULAR ERROR.-It is an error to
suppose that scholars and literary men are
shorter lived than any other men. But the
fact is, on the contrary quite the reverse
consider for moment, that the class com
pared with what are called professions" is
small one, indeed and then mark the re-
suit. Hardly an eminent author of modern
times but afford an example of longevity
Byron and Keats, it is true, died young
the latter by consumption the former by ir.
regularities that would have killed anybody
But Wordsworth, Southey, Tom Moore
James Montgomery, and Humboldt, lived tC
an advanced age Rogers at his decease
was above ninety-fve, aud De Quincy and
Walter Savage Landor, are still alive and al
work, at past threescore and ten. Our own
country furnishes similar examples Benton
Paulding, and Irving went beyond the time
allotted to man, while Everett, Hallcck
Bryant, and Longfellow, are getting far ad
vanced. The truth is, men oftener rust out
than wear out; and there is no doubt that
habitual mental employment tends to keeI
the body young, both in fact and appearance
Students rarely suffer from study; but, il
common with the rest of mankind, are no
proof against physical laziness or physical ex
cess.

The Army is Sleeping.

[The LycOming Gazette has poetess correspond
ent, whose few published productions stamp her as
one of the gifted females Of our country Her name
is Nellie r. Patton, and she is only seventeen years
old. If she is as sweet woman as she is a writer
Nellie will be prize to the man that is fortunate
enough to get her for wife. The following is one
of her pieces
Roll gently, Potomac. the wealth of thy waves
And hush tie proud roar of thy pillows,
That heed not the Dead who in battle won graves,
Sleep sound on their cold earthly pillows;
And quiet the eddes that circle and foam
Where the boughs of the willows are weeping,
And make thy wild ripples more quietly roam
On, hush forthe army IS sleeping.
The army is sleeping the glorious sun
Has sunk from his pathway diurnal,
And afar in the calm quiet, beautiful skies,
Shine the glorious stars eternal
And they sparkle like eyes that are wet with tears
While their still, holy watch they are Keeping
watch they've kept many thousands of years,
Over many an army sleeping.
The army is sleeping and sweet visions arise
BY the pillow of many sleeper
Sweet visions that never may gladden. his eyes,
For is ptiless reaper
The camp has the noiseless appearance of DEATH
In the light Of each bright constellation;
The soldiers sleep on and their slumbering breath
is the breath ofa mighty nation
The army is sleeping and under the sod,
On thy-bloOd-stained embanknents oh river
An army is sleeping last long, long sleep,
The war-trumpet shall break again never
And far IN the North, in the East and the West,
In homes now beref there are weeping
The ones they loved dearest and fondest, and best,
For those who forever sleeping
Then, river, oh roll grand requiem out
For the souls of noble departed,
Let it fall like peoples wild triumphing shout
To the sob of the broken hearted .
Give the wall of Rachel for those who are not,
Like that where those mourners weeping,
And lift up thy proud voice for Freedom and Right
Then hush for the army is sleeping
Oh, God, bless the seepers and keep them with
Through this time of our country's great sorrow,
And rouse up their brave hearts for Mon to dare,
When troubles may come the morrow.
May that banner in liberty wave,
In which thine own stars now keeping
Watch over the free and the true and the brave
Meath its bright folds quietly sleeping.

(TYoHo RRAHE S MOTTO,

Out on seeming shall life ever
Garb itself in hollow shows,
But stagnant pool, plague-spreading,
O'er which green but thinly grows
But jungle through whose verdure
Glide all shapes most foul to see?
Off with empty shows of virtue
OFF with semblance SEEN EOT-BB.
Out on all this hollow mouthing-
Timed fashioned prayer
Where, while breath alone adoring,
Sleeps the soul and takes no care
Where. through easeful self-delightment,
Six times runs the food of day,
And the sevenths feigned abasement
Lifes great debt is held to pay.
Out on all these masks Of goodness
This our life doth vaunting wear,
Through whose eyes the subtle evil
And sloth's sleepy eyeballs glare

GET ENOUGH SLEEP.-We have often
heard young men remark that four or five
hours sleep was all they wanted, and the hu-
man system required. The habit of going
without sufficient sleep is very injurious. =.
Thousands, no debut, permanently injure
their health in this way. We live in fast
age, when everybody seems to be trying to
pervert the order Of nature If folks will
persist in turning night into day, it is not to
be wondered at that few last the allotted
time Of life No matter what be a mans
upation-physica or mental, or like
Othello's, "gone," and living in ideness-
the constitution cannot last, depend upon it,
without suficiency Of regular and refresh
ing sleep. John Hunter, the great surgeon,
died suddenly Of spasmodic affection of the
heart, a disease generally encouraged by
want Of sleep. In a volume just published
by medical man, there is one great lesson,
that hard students and literary men may
learn, and that is, that Hunter probably
killed himself by taking too little sleep
-Four hours rest at night and one after din
ner, cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit
the exhausted powers of the body and mind
Certainly not; and the consequence was that
Hunter died early. If men will insist on
cheating sleep, her twin sister death, will
avenge the insult.

WHICH IS THE HAPPIEsT SEASON PAT
festal party of old and young, the question
was asked-"Which season of life is the
most happy " After being freely discussed
by the guests, it was referred for answer to
the host, upon whom was the burden of four
score years. He asked if they had noticed
a grove of trees before the dwelling, and said
When the spring comes, and in the soft
air the buds are breaking on the trees, and
they are covered with blossoms, l think,
Hon beautiful IS spring. And when the
summer comes, and covers the trees with its
heavy foliage, and singing birds are among
the branches, I think, Ho0 6eautifulis is sam
n1er! When the autumn loads them with
golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gor-
geous tint Of frost, l think, How beautiful
Is autumn! And when it is scar winter,
and there is neither foliage nor fruit, then l
look up through the leafless branches, as l
never conld until now, and see the stars
shine" "-&arpe's Magazine.

A LAWYER OUTwITTED.- Several years
ago a young gentleman went to consult a
certain attorney how he might carry off an
heiress "You cannot do it with safety"
said the counselor; "but I'll tell you what
you may do--let her mount horse and hold
bride and whip; do you then mount be-
hind her and you are safe, for she runs away
with you" The counselor, however, was
sufficiently punished for this quibbling ad-
vice, when next day he found that it was his
own daughter who had run away with his
client.

GelfLeReH 10 gives the Greatest pleasure to add

dT the mos Udadbe Of O1y IhGDstsd. The thorough
operation OF IL is most easy and simple and its unoO
trusive and quiet movements are very grateful TO
weary head. The WORK when done is wOderiUl in its
strength. More than twOthirds Of all the sewing done
in my family for the last two years has been done by
GrO' er & Bakers Machine. and I have never had a
a garment rip or need mending, ercept those rents
which frolicsOme hOys will make in 3gO6 CLOTH and
for them, your machine has suppose no remedy but

The seam on the underside sOmetimes'represente
as an objection to Grover & Bakers Machine, is,

Honestly approaching the excellencies of your
