SLEEP.
NJ JOHN O. sAxD.

" God bless the man who nrs. Invented sleep I"
30 Sancho PAnsa said. and 80 say 1;
And bless him, also, that he didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
TO make it--ss the lucky fellow might
4 close monopoly by "pa.ent right"
Yes, bless the man who first Invented Sleep
Il really can't avoid the iteration;l
But blast the man, with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the rascais name, or age, or station,
Who hrsi invented, and went round advising,
That artificial cut-oG-early rising
" Rise with the lark and with the lark to bed"
Observes scine solemn, sentimental owl;
MaNtms like these are very cheaply said
hut ere you make yourself a tool or fowl,
Pray just enquire about their rise-and fall
And whether larks have any beds at all
The " time for honest men to be abed"
Is in the morninasjf reason right;
And he who can not keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till It's fairly light,
And 50 enjoy his forty morning winks
Is up--so knayery; or else--he drinkst
Thompson. who sung about the " Seasons" !" SAID
II wa: glorious thing 10 rise IN season
But then he said it--iying in his bed
AT ten O'clock A. M.-the very reason
He wrote so charningly. The simple fact Is
HIS preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.
'gis, doubtless well, TO be sometimes awake
Awake to duty and awake to truth
But when, alas nice review We take

Who hours that leave the slightest cause 20 weep
Arc those We passed In childhood or-asleep
'Tis beautiful to leave the world awhile
For the soft visions Of the gentle night;
Ana, iree at last from mortal care and guile,
TO live, as only in the angels sight,
In sleeps sweet realms SO costly shut in
Where at the worst, We only dream. Of sin.
So let ns sleep, and give the Maker praise.

THE DEATH OF GEN. RUssELL.-Wh hile
the country reioices over one of the most
brilliant achievements Of the war in Sher-
Fidan's victory at Winchester, it is called
upon to mourn over the loss of one of its
bravest, most gallant and faithful general
officers, General David A. Russell, who
commanded the First division Of the Sixth
army corps. He wes son of New York,
who had carved his way from captaincy
to the command of division by his own
trusty sword He will be remembered as
the officer who led our forces at Rappahan-
mock station in the most brilliant and ef
fective action of the war-where he cap
tured more prisoners than he had men
actively engaged. lie was the intimate
and valued friend of Generals Sedgwick
and Wright, and almost idolized by his
troops, from officer to man. In the fight at
Rappahannock station his nephew, who was
serving on his staff, was severely wounded
The General passed most of the night
with him in hospital. The next day it was
discovered that the General was wounded
in the foot Thinking it was Of the tritling
sort, he had not mentioned it to any one
till it became so painful that he was
obliged to consult his surgeon. '
Upon the death Of General Sedgwick,
when General Wright assumed command
of the corps, General Russell took com
mand of the veterans of the First division,
and has since led them on all the memora.
