How u Young Man Goes to Bed

A few days ago we published an extract from
a story in The Land we Love" written by
Miss Fannie Downing. 1t was entitled How
a young lady goes to bed, y and although not
an entire stranger to lady's boudor, we can
not assure the less enlightened OF our sex of
the fidelity or truthtulneSs Of Miss Fannie
sketch. Doubtless 1t afforded great gratiica-
ton to the majority OF male readers it did to
us, we know, and as slight return we intend
to disclose to her sex the manner in which a
young man goes to bed, and shall cite, as an
example, one OF our own ac,luaintances For
convenience We adopt the same style in which
the other was written, and use the same tense:
Dlsmisslng his fuddled companion of the
evening at the street door, Master George per

THE MUSTER Roll OF THE REBEL ARMY.
The New York Tribune publishes an alb
stract, from documents which fell into the
hands of the United States at the downfall of
the Confederacy, of the returns of all the Con
federate armies, from their organization in the
summer of 1861 down to the spring of 1865.
1t appears from these documents that the
number of Confederate troops at the east and
the west was throughout nearly equal, and
that, with the exception of September, 1868,
when LOngstrcct with his corps, was sent from
Virginia to Tennessee, no considerable body
of soldiers was ever transferred from one
army to the other. The greatest number on
the Confederate muster rolls at any one time
was $50, ,000 and this was when every male
from IL to 80 was enrolled in the army. The
greatest number present for duty at any one
time in the whole Coniederacy, and that for
only brief period, was 300, 900. There were
not three periods of a month when they had
$50, 600 At only three periods did the Army
Of Northern Virginia, under Lee, number
! 100, 600 men fit for duty
| In October, 1861, when Mcclellan confronted
Johnston at Manassas, the actual force OF
Johnston was less than 10000, and in De
cember only $4,000. When, in April, 1862
! Mcclellan landed on the Peninsula, Magrudel
had Ii. 600 men and when Mcclellan assaileC
York town the COnfederates had on the whole
Peninsula less than $4,000. When he reach
ed the Chickahominy the COntederates had a
Richmond but Al 900, increased at the close o
May to about CO. 900 effectiveS. On the 26tl
of June, when Lee began his movement agalns
Mcclellan, the COnfederatcs numbered httl
more than 100, 600 effective men. When, at
ter the battle of Gettysburg, Meade reache
the Rappahannock, Lee had Al 900 men. Tn
Confederacy was at its highest point of militia
ry efficiency in the early summer ofl 1868, whe
, the movement into Pennsylvania was con
, mcnccd At the battle of Gettysburg tn

J ments, was enrolled seven out of ten were a,

No Use RAPPING.-Upon the Salisbury road, just
outside the town, there is a cemetery, the broad
gate of which is seldom closed. Just at the en-.

NEARLY A VIcrrM-A fashionable young
lady of Milwaukee, who was ambitious to
shine as the belle of her circle, nearly fell
victim to her vanity last week. She heard
that arsenic was beauti6er and, resolving to
become an arsenic eater, she procured supply
of the poisonous drug Not knowing the
quantity that could be safely taken, however,
She used too much for the first dose, and her
friends were alarmed by supposed attempt
at suicide, until the victim, in an intelv from
violent sickness, was enabled to give an ex-
pIanation. A fatal result was averted by the
sSkilful attentions Of the physicians, and the
patient is in fair way Of recovery. Young
ladies who are determined to add to the charms
which nature has bestowed on them, should
beware of poisions, and trust only to nature S
cosmetics of air and exercise and pure water,
By these, ard the harmonious cultivation Of
their faculties. they will require beauty more
lasting and attractive than can be obtained by
any other means.

A New Poem.

4 New Poem.
BY the lake where dropped the willow,
Row, vessels, row
Iwant TO be an angel,
And jump Jim Crow.
An old crow sat on hickory limb,
None knew him but to praise;
Let me kiss him for his mother,
For he smells of Switzer kase.
The Minstrel to the war is gone,
With the banjo on his knee,
He awoke to hear the sentries shrek,
There's light in the window for thee.
A frog he could wooing GO,
His hair was curled to kill;
He used to wear an old blue coat,
And the sword of Bunker Hill.
Oft in the Silly night,
Make way for liberty he cried
won't go home till morning,
With Maggie by my side.
l am dying, Egypt dying
Susannah, don't you cry;
know you how sublime thing it is
To brush away the blue-tailed fly.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
With his baggage check for Troy;
One of the few immortal names,-
His name was Pat Malloy.
Mary had little lamb,
He could tale unfold;
He had no teeth to eat hoe-cake,
And his spectacles were gold.
Lay on, lay on, Macduff,
Man wants but little here below;
And I'm TO be the queen of the May,
So kiss me quick and go.

The practice of bringing cattle through from
Chicago to New York without water arouses
the sympathy of every beholder. In addition
the poor animals are obliged also to stand on
their feet through the whole journey, and
their sufferings must be intense. 1t has been
suggested that troughs for holding water might
be constructed at little cost. This condition o.
the transit refers more particularly to the ter
ritory of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

1t is a notable circumstance that all the can
didates spoken of for the next Presidency are
Western men Chase Wade, Coltax, Grant,
all hail from the other side of the Aleghanles,
though, on the other hand, all of these except
Grant were born in the Eastern States. In the
last Presidential election, Western man, LIN
coin, was opposed by Mcclellan, who was also
of Western origin, and in the election of 1850
Lincoln ran against Douglas and Brecklnrldge,
who both belonged to the West. IT Grant de-
clines the nomination next year, and it Massa-
chusetts and the other New England States,
should unite upon Charles Francis Adams, he
would be an exceedingly strong candidate. =
But it look. as if Massachusetts, would be the
foremost opponent of her distinguished SON
because of his Conservative principles, as sup
noscd to be represented in his services to the

portunity, New York would very likely unite
il urging the name Of one OF her citizens emi-
ncnt in civil and military life but thus far no
name has been put forward. Pennsylvania
has ordinarily an immense list OF candidates on
hand; but at this time we hear nothing OF her
demands in this direction.

TIE INFLUENCE OF HABIT ON SLEEP
Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can sleep
when they will and wake when they will. The
Emperor Napoleon was a striking instance of
this fact Captain Barclay, when performing
his extraordinary feat of walking one thousand
miles in as many successive hours, obtained,
at last, such a mastery over himself that he
fell asleep the moment he lay down. The fac
ulty of remaining asleep for great length OF
time is possessed of some individuals. Such
was the case with Quin, the celebrated player,
who could slumber twenty-fOur hours success
sively with Elizabeth Owen, who slept three
fourths OF her life; with Elizabeth Perkins,
who slept for a week or fortnight at time ;
with Mary Lyel, who did the same for six
successive weeks-and with many others, more
or less remarkable. A phenomenon of an OPP
posite character is also sometimes observed,
for there are individuals who can subsist on a
surprisingly small portion of sleep. The cele-
brated General Elliot was an instance of this
kind he never slept more than four hours out
of twenty -four. In all other respects he was
strikingly abstinent, his food consisting wholly
of bread, water and vegetables. In a letter
communicated to Sir John Sinclair, by Mr.
John Gordon, Of Swiney, mention is made of
a person named John Mackay, Of Skerrey, who
died in Strathnave, in the year 1877, aged
ninety-One; he only slept on an average four
hours in the twenty-tour, and was a remarka-
bly, robust and healthy man. Frederick the
Great, of Prussia, and the illustrious surgeon,
John Hunter, only slept five hours during the
same periol. The celebrated French General
Pchegro informed Sir Gilbert Blame that du-
ring a whole year 5 compaign he had not above
one hour 5 sleep in the twcnty-tour.

WHAT SEVENTY BOYS BECAME. = Many
people begin the education of their children
with an exhibition Of toys, marvellous tales,
silly romances, and wind up with the circus and
theatre. The degrading influences and sorrow.
ful consequence of this mode OF education will
be best illustrated by stating few facts that
have passed under my observation. So far as
nv memory goes, about thirty boys educated
in this way-that is in contempt of all useful
knowledge and occupation-spent their days in
reading novels, the lives and confessions of pi-
rates, murderers, ETC., and their nights in the
streets, dram shops, gambling saloons, circus
and theatre At the age of forty ytiye one had
been hung for murder; and one tor rObblng
the mail, and three as pirates; five died i'll the
penitcntiary, and seven lived and died as USE
less vagabonds about the streets three were
useful mechanics, and the fate Of the remain
der is unknown
OF about forty educated with me by a really
scientific teacher, under the old fogy Puritan
system of restraint as it is now called by young
America at the AGE Of titty-6ve, one was 4
member Of Congress, one Judge OF the Su
premc Court, two judges Of the Circuit Court
| three physicians FIVE lawyers, fourteen were
