NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

But, fellow citizens, let ms return,
in conclusion to the second indiet

They tell us they are opposed to
negro suffrage. They still hope for
power by clinging to the mean and
narrow prediudice of caste. With
them, the heroism of one hundred
thousand black patriots fighting
nobly under our flag in the front oil
battle-the devotion of thousands
guiding at midnightthrough swamps
and forests our starving soldiers
from che prison-pens, of the Sozth
the simple faith of race of slaves
in the promise of freedom, which we,
in our distress, held out to them;
their truth and fidelity to our flag
and our cause in every stage of our

Sleep and Fresh Air.

A paper read to the French Academy Of
Science by NJ. Delbruck, breaches a new
theory He thinks 1t singular that, while
all medical men are unanimous in prescri-
bing several cubic meters of pure air for
each person sleeping in a room us absolute
ly essential to health, all animals appear to
shun the open air as much as possible, in
order to compose themselves to sleep. Thus
the lion and tiger retire to some dark cavern,
where the air is confined the dog goes to
his kennel, aud tbrusts his snout under his
belly; birds, to which the open air would
appear to be . necessity, whether asleep or
awake, retire to some private corner, aud
put their heads under their wings. Nay,
what does the school-boy do when left in a
dormitory aired with particular CAFE? II he
finds he cannot fall asleep, the FIRST thing he
does is to bury his head among the bed
clothes. Hence, il, when awake. we exhale
quantity Of carbonlc acid, We must inhale
a certain quantity Of this gus during sleep,
jdstas plants exhale by day the oxygen they
absorb during the night" Halls Journal
Of Health quotes this passage, and, insteadof
discussing it philosophicaiiy, vents its indig-
nation in harsh words.
We have no donbt there is partial truth
in the suggestion of the French sevau.
Sleep is the lowering Of the liase W the bodv
and brain, during which the temperature Of
both, as tested by the thermometer, is low
cred. The lungs, during Sleep take in
very much less of air; and if from any cause
the inspiration Of the sleeper is as frequent
aud full as that Of The waking man, his
sleep is fevered and without reireslment.
If the ordinary ait were oxygeaated, per
son breathing it would hardly get any sleep,
unless Of congestive sort.
Air in which portion of toe oxygen has
been consumed would havea contrary effect.
The phenomena Of respiration, have been
compared to those of combustion. When
we wish to put the coal-fre to sleep over
night, we put ashes on it to keep off the
fresh air, or we reduce the draught TO the
minimum. II we allow the air to be deoxy-
genized the result is the same.
The object Of sleep is to suspend many
vital functions, and to retard aud give re-
pose to others. 1t is not perfect when the
/" combustion " is lowest; though of course,
there are limitations to such theory. The
hybernation Of polar animals, and The phe-
nonlenon of the long life Of frogs, ETC., i'm
beddeh in stene. which have been nnexplain-
ed, may derive some light from the theory
We have advanced.

And when the night c'ud grew dark on tue
plain,
When the stars were out, and the moon in
the wane,
When the bird aud the bee had game to
rest,
And the dews -of the night the green earth
pressd;
This bounie wee flower lay smiling asleep
Like beautiful pearl in the dark green
deep.
And when Autumn came, and Che Summer
had passu,
And the wan leaves were strcwn on tic
swir!ing blast,
This bonnie wee flower grew naked and
hare,
And its wee leaves shraIk in the frozen u'air;;
Wild darnel and nettte sptang rank from
the ground,
But the rose and white lilies were dropping
around;
And this bonnie blue flower hung doom its
wee head,
And the bright morning sun flung his beams
on its bed,
And the pale stars looked forth--bnt the
wee flower was dead.
