Position in Sleeping.

1t is better 10 90 to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much
in the position ola bottle turned upside
down, and the contents of it are aided in
passing ont by gravitation. If one goes
to sleep on the left side the operation of
emptying the stomach of its contents is
more like drawing water from WE'LL
After going to sleep let the body take IFS
own position. If you sleep on your back
especially soon after a hearty meal, the
weight of the digestive organs, and that
of the food, resting on the great vein of
the body, near the backbone, compresses
it, and arrests the flow of the blood more
OF less. If the arrert is partial the sleep
is disturbed, and there are unpleasant
dreams. II the meal has been recent and
hearty the arrest is more decided; and
the various sensations, such as falling
over precipice, or the pursuit of wild
beast, or other impending danger, and
the desperate effort to get rid of it, arous-
es us, and sends on the stagnating blood /;
and we wake in a fright, or trembling, or
perspirasion, or feeling exhaustion, ac-
cording to the degree of stagnation, and
the length and strength OF the efforts
made 10 escape the danger. But, when
we are not able TO escape the danger
when we do fall over the precipice-when
the tumbling building crushes us-what
then? That is death, That is the death
of those of whom it is said when found
lifeless in the morning-"That they were
as well as they ever were the day before, !"
and often it is added. "and ate heartier
than common!" This last, as frequent
cause of death to those who have gone to
bed TO wake no more, we give merely as
a private opinion. The possibility of its
truth is enough TO deter any rational man
from late and hearty meal. This we
do know, with certainty, that walking up
in the night with painful diarrhoe, or
cholera, or bilious cholic, ending in
death in very short time, is properly
traceable to a late large meal The truly
wise will take the safe side. For persons
who eat three times day, it is amply
sufficient to make the last meal of cold
bread and butter and cup of some warm
drink. No one can starve on it; while a
perseverance in the babit soon begets a
vigorous appetite for breakfast, so prom
ising of day of comfort.-HaiPs Journal

Humiliation Extra ordinary.

We heard few days since rather a
good story, the entire truthfulness of
which is yoGehed for, concerning one of
our Washington county copperheads, who
having been convinced that it was uncon-
stitutional 10 shoot traitors, ed to Can
ada to avoid entanglement in the CON
scription net with which fresh haul was
about TO be made. Though well enough
to do in the world when at home, he took
rather a speedy departure-so much so
that he had not time to gather up a suffi-
cient amount of funds to support him in
idleness for any considerable length of
time. Nor was he very solicitOus in that
behalf, as he supposed the draft would
take place at the time first announced,
when he hoped his name might be miss
ed, in which case he could safely return
home. In this he was disappointed. The
IN of January came, but no draft, and
no likelihood Of any until Congress would
act on the amendments to the Conscrip-
ton law. This Protracted the the agony
with our Vallandigham friend, and as
lodging cost something in Canada, as well
as elsewhere, his finances began to run
low, and he concluded that something
must be done. He decided at once to
seek employment of some kind, in order
that he might earn something. On start
ing out he found that there was but little
demand for work, owing to the fact prob
ably, that the country was already over
stocked with laborers of his kind After
making frequent unsuccessful applica-
tions, he was nearly ready TO give up in
despair, when he was informed that a
gentleman of means not far distant had
lately been inquiring for hand. As no
time was TO be lost, he hunted up the
place with all possible speed, and was
gratified to see house of ample dimen-
sions and fine exterior, surrounded by
grounds tastefully laid of, giving TO the
whole premises that appeararance which
marked il as the abode of refinement and
wealth. On pulling the bell the door was
opened by well dressed, genteel looking
coiored man, whereupon our Copperhead
friend at once inquired for the man of
the house, Judge of his surprise when
the colored person aforesaid, very prompt
informed him that hewas that parsonage
and was ready to receive any communi-
cation Our hero saw the state of the
case at a glance, but thinking il his last
chance, made known his errand, telling

was to obtain employment. The gentle
man in black informed him at once that
he wished to hire choachman, and was
willing to pay him four dollars a month
and board him. As necessity knows no
law our pure blooded Caucasian Anglo
Saxon deemed it best to accept the
proposition, and accordingly hired with
the African as coachman, for four dollars
a month and board. OF course he would
rather drive carriage for 'niggers' than
fight for them, even if he is required to
sleep above tho kitchen and eat at the
second table Washington pa reporter.

Secretary Chase's Financial Esti-
mates.

According to the views entertained at
the Treasury Department, says Aga, the
Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Saa, the yearly produce of whisky
in this country is 100, ,000, ,0O0 gallons,
which, at an excise tax of sixty cents per
gallon, as proposed by the House Com
mittee of Ways and Means, viii increase
the internal revenue in the sum $40, ,0O0,
900. In reference to Mr.. Chase's urgent
request to the Senate Committee on Fl
nance, that Congress shall make formal
declaration of the necessity OF increased
taxation to maintain the public credit,
Mr.. Fessenden said that responsibility as
to that matter rested with the House,
which alone could originate measures for
taxation. Mr. Chase's estimates, as 6rst
submitted to Congress, called for about
$500, ,0O0,0 900 of appropriations, but TWEEN
ty millions were voted on the first feFT
days of the session which had not been
estimated for. Taking this sum, with the
additional heavy estimates for bounties.
and adding for other probable objects of
expenditure, there does not remain much
doubt but the appropriations for this ses-
sion win foot up 81, 900, 100000

Sun Cure.

Under this head the North American
well remarks:
OF all the notions begotten by the
search after remedies for the ailments TO
which flesh is heir. the latest, called sun
cure, is in many respects remarkable
The idea is that many cases of debility,
prostrati0n, or disease, persons may re-
cover by systematic exposure to the rays
of the sun. Instances are published in
support of this, in which the patient has
actually recovered from a low stage of
prostration by this means. Of course We
cannot endorse any such system or urge
it upon our readers. But one thing will
certainly be approved by very many ex-
perienced physicians. This is that the
genial influence of the sunlight is indis-
pensable 10 the health of the physical
frame of humanity, and that all persons,
whether we'll or i'll, may improve their
health and strength by making it point
to put this in practice constantly. We
mention the matter now because 1t Is too
much the babit of our people to shut
themselves up in the house in winter,
and shun the cool fresh open air and the
sunlight. Stirring exercise in this wintry
weather, and in the air where the sun is
no stranger, would render every one
capable of enjoying better the comforts
of moderate fire in doors, and keep down
i'll health Let no one he afraid OF the
street in winter.

THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
Throughout South Carolina the people
seemed TO be impressed with the idea
that the Unionists could take Charleston
whenever they wanted il. but not with
out large loss. They believe that it Is
not our intention to capture it until after
other victories have been achieved; that
its siege is merely kept up to employ the
rebel troops, and prevent the concentra-
tion of their forces in Virginia and the
! Southwest The citizens had nearly all
left the city, and none were permitted
egress or ingress.

A NORWEGIAN BRIDES CosTUNE.-Wheu
a Morse girl marries, she comes out for
once in brilliant plumage. She decks
herself out in the gaudiest of habiliments,
with profusion of gold and silver orna-
ments The most conspicuous part of her
costume is a crown of pure silver, gilt,
and a scarlet cloth breast piece, which is
thickly studded with silvergi breaches
and beads of various hues, besides little
round mirrorsl They are species Of
public property hired out by each bride
on her wedding day for the sum of about
five shillings. This costume IS gorgeous,
and remarkably becoming, especially
when worn by a fair-haired, blue-eyed,
and pretty Morse girl.

SMOKY CHINNEYs.-A correspondent OF

cure for great and common evil: A smo-

of the worst evils of domestic life, says
the old proveFb, and to obyiate the first
evil, ingenuity is ever racking its brain.
Hence, Regent street and every part of
the Metropolis has its house-tops bristling
with pipes and deformed with cowls OF
every conceivable and almost iaconceiTa-
bic variety. Now, I have built many
chimneys, in all possible situations, and
have found one simple plan everywhere
successful, the secret being only 10 con-
struct the throat of the chimney, or the
part just above the fireplace, so small
that man or boy can barely pass thro'
it. Immediately above, the chimney
should be enlarged to double its width,

With her worn garb eontrasted
Each side in fair array.
