within very few years that this quite
useful class Of our rising population
the boot blacks---have appeared
among us, to any great extent. But
since they have swarmed upon our
streets they have rendered themselves
quite as necessary to our comforts
and pleasures as almost any other class
of servants They are ragged and dir
ty, it is true; some are saucy and pro-
fame; but the rags and dirt cannot well
be helped, and we must trust to time
and hard knocks to cure them OF their
impudence and vulgarity. Some Of
these boys have earned quite hand
some sums of money for themselves
and their parents by their industry.
One dollar is quite a small sum, and

lads to accumulate in the course of u

The EFFEcrs OF IMPATIENCE.-No 9th
ing more incapacitates a man for the
lead than impotence. No constitu-
tionally impatient man who has in
dulsed his tendency, ever gets to the
bottom Of things, or knows with any
nicely the disposition and circum-
stancss Of the people he is thrown
or has thrown himself amongst. Cor
tain salient points he is possessed of,
but not what reconciles and accounts
for them Something in him-an OBJ
trusiye self, or a train OF thought, or
likings and antipathies will always
come between him and an impartial
judgement Neither does he win con-
fdence, for he checks the coy, uncer-
tain advances which are the precur-
sors of it, We doubt if thoroughly
impatient man can read the heart, or
be fair critic or understand the
rights of any knotty question, or make
himself master of any difficult situa-
ton. The power Of waiting, deliberat-
ing, hanging in suspense, is necessary

How TO FALL AsLrEp The great
point to be gained in order to secure
sleep, is to escape from thought cs-
pecially from that clinging, tenacious,
imperious thought which in most cases
OF wakefulness has possession of the
mind. / always affect this by the
following simple process: | turn my
eye balls as far to the right OF the left
or upward or downwards, as can
without pain, and then commence roll
ing them slowly, with that divergence
from a direct line of vision, around in
their sockets, and continue doing this
until / fall asleep, which occurs gen
orally within three minutes always
within five at the most. The immedi-
ate effect Of this procedure differs from
that of any other that l have ever
heard to produce sleep. 1t not mere
ly diyerts thought into a new channel,
but actually suspends it. Since be-
came aware of this, | have endeavored
innumerable times, while thus rolling
my eyes, to think upon particular
subject, and even upon that which be-
fore kept me awake, but | could not.
As long us they were moving around
my mind was blank If any one
doubts this let him try the experiment
for himself. j wish he would let him
pause Just here and make it, / ven
ture to assure him that, if be makes it
in good faith in the manner described,
the promise "of penny for his
thoughts, or for each of them, while
the operation is in progress, will add
little to his wealth. Such being it's
effect, we cannot wonder that it should
bring sleep to nervous and wakeful
man at night. The philosophy OF the
matter is very simple. A suspension
of thought is to the mind what sus-
pension of travel is to the weary body.
1t enjoys the luxury of rest; the strain
upon its faculties is removed; it falls
asleep as naturally as the farmer III his
chair after toiling all day in his fields.

Attack on a Settler.

As yoH ascend the Juniata from its

DoN'r JuDaE by ApprARANcrs Some
years ago there arrived at the hotel
erected near the Niagara Falls, an odd
looking man, whose appearance and
department were quite III contrast
with the crowds of well dressed and

dark locks that supported themselves
on his back and shoulders. This

unstrapped his little burden, quietly
looked around for the landlord and
then modestly asked for breakfast.
The host Mt first drew back with evil
dent repugnance at the apparition
which thus proposed to intrude its I'm
couth form among the genteel visitors,
but few words whispered in his ear
speedily satisfied his doubts; the
stranger took his place in the com
pany, some Struggling, some staring,
some laughing outright. Yet There
was more in that single man than in
all the rest of the throng. He was an
American woodsman, as he said; he
was a genuine son of nature, yet had
been entertained with distinction at
the tables of princes; learned societies,
to which the like of Cuyier belonged,
bowed down to welcome his presence;
kings had been complimented when
he spoke to them; in short, he was
one whoes fame viii be growing bright

at him, and many much greater than
they, shall be utterly persisted. From
every hilltop and deep, shady grove

will sing his name. The little wren
will pipe it with his matin hymn about
our house; the oriole carol it from th,
slender grasses of the meadows; the
turtle dove roll it through the secre
forest; the many-voiced mocking-birc
pour it along the air; and the Imperial
