ooh, that could sleepp How often is
this prayer addressed to the night by the
lonely watcher on the pillowl But Just as
sleep is courted, so does it seem TO fly away;
and at the seasons at which it is wanted the
most, as in times of sorrow and suffering,
sleep becomes more and more fitful, dis
turbed and unfrequent. The happy child
sleeps, so does the happy man, or woman,
full of physical health. Sleeplessness comes
with thought, care, trials; the highly cult
vated and civilized being, sleeps nothing
like so soundly as the untutored mind or the
rude savage. The thinking mans dreams
are thoughtful. His animal being has be-
come merged in the intellectual His ner-
vous system is in state Of high tension,
asleep and awake; and ii becomes question
to HIM of the highest interest, "How can
fall asleep?" AS general rule all mental
exertion should be avoided in the evening
hours; and strong tea, especially green tea,
ought to be eschewed. The latter has an
extraordinary power OF prolonging sleepless-
ness more than any drug we know of. The
perusal of book late in the evening, re-
curing active thought TO Keep up WIN lls
will induce wakefulness in excitable brains
for many hours after going to rest In such
cases only light literature ought to be in
dulged in. Exciting conversation, or excit-
ing mnsic, have also the effect of keeping
the brain active for many honrs, and, there
fore, it is better to avoid these late at night,
if you would sleep soundly. Various re-
ceipts have been given for inducing sleep,
of which the most useful are those Of in
ducing monotony, such as repeating certain
lines of poetry, counting certain number
of figures and so on Franklin, when
sleepless, took an air bath-that is, he
walked undressed about his chamber. Ser
mons have been found very effectual, bu
these cannot be conveniently administered
at bedtime.

MAN BURIED IN A WELL.-A man named
Farrell went down into well near Oquawka,
Illinois, to clean 1t. He had scarcely
reached the bottom and made some pre-
liminary examinations, before he noticed
the walls giving way. He stepped into the
bucket instantly, shouted his danger, and
asked to be hauled up. The men at the
windlass, ror-stricken, drew up with all
their strength, and raised the unfortunate
man about ten feet, when the heavy walls
OF the well, forty feet deep, closed in
with crash. He seemed TO be buried be-
yond hope. Still the rock prevented the
earth from packing down upon him so as to
shut out the air, and the man could breathe,
and family hear the voices of those above
trying to save him. AT two O'Clock, after
three hours of the most rapid and exciting
work, Mr.. Farrell was reached and drawn
out of premature grave, badly bruised
about the head and other portions of the
body. The qualification felt by all at the
narrow escape was, of course, unbounded.

NRW NOPE OF PRUNING GRAPE VINEs.-R. W.
Hoton, of Haverstraw, N. Y, being called out
on the subject of pruning grape vines, was In
viled to the blackboard to show, by rough dia-
grams, how any grape vine that has space Of
six feet square may be made to produce ten
pounds of grapes annually. He cuts of the stem
of the vine about ten to twelve inches above
the surface of the ground; then trains one arm
to the right and the other to the left about three
feet, in q horizontal direction. About every
eight or ten inches on each of these arms cane
is trained vertically, and each one allowed to
produce one or two bunches of grapes. He
stated that when vine is transplanted the stake
should always be driven into the ground before
the roots are spread out, SO that the stake may
not ipjure or displace any of the fbers. In
answer to the inquiry as to what is a merchant
able, first class vine, he brought with him few
vines to chow the difference between first rate
vine, that will sell for one dollar or more, ant
such vines as are sold for eight or ten cent
each The former had small stem, and almos
a complete mat of strong rootsi the second ant
third. class vines have only few roots and some
times il is difficult to make vine live becaus
the roots are 80 few.

MUTATIONS OF FoRTUNE.-A correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing
from indianapolis, says:
"While passing through the Union depota
few days ago, was acCosted bya one armed
man, IN faded army blue. His apparent ia
miliarity surprised me at first, but l soon
recognized him as an old acquaintance. I
first saw him fourteen years ago, working at
a windlass in the gold diggings of Australia.
He and his three partners hoisted by that
windlass, from one shaft, more than $780,
900. A few months later bade him good
bye, as he sailed from Melbourne for New
York, with 100000 in bills of exchange in
his pocket. next saw him wounded
rebel soldier, lying on.the battlefield of An
tietam. A little more than year later, l
saw him as a Union soldier, lying in a hos
pital in Tennessee. To-day he is help
less wanderer, dependent on charity for q
dinner.

The negotiations which have been initiated BY
tho Emperor Napoleon for the acquisition OF the
territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to
France, may, as indicated by the cable des-
patches, in the end constitute main cause, If
not the main causs, of war in Europe. Com
seauently history Of the territory will be found
very interesting.
Originally county, Luxembourg was made a
duchy in 1854. and remained under the dominion
of it's dukes during the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. Louis XIV. seized the southern part
of the duchy and incorporated it with France,
the remainder being left under the rule of Aus
tria until the French revolution, when the whole
of Luxembourg became French possession.
Tho Congress of Vienna again restored it's
separate existence, and the King Of the Neither
lands became its Grand Duke.
In 1880 it joined the Belgians in their revOlu-
tion, and the London Conference divided it
between Belgium and Holland the portion fall
ing to the latter State being the territory now
known as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The right of maintaining garrison in Luxem-
burg was conceded to Prussia by the treaties Of
the 3lst of May, 1916, the 9Th Of November,
1916, and the 18th of March, 1917.
The population of the Grand Duchy in 1856
was 206,574 The present King Of Holland
claims the personal right of disposing of the
Duchy, if he so chooses, with reference to the
legislative body. In this connection it ia moi
premature to mention clauses and 81 of the
Constitution under which Luxembourg is held by
/ its sovereign:
Clause /. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg il
an independent, indivisible and inalienable State
Clause 81. Nc portion of the Luxembourg ter
ritory can be ceded or exchanged for and nj
portion of foreign territory added to Luxemburl
except by virtue of law.
Hence it follows that the cessiOn Of the country
to France could not be legally sanctioned by
suffrage universal, but requires the ratification
of the Chamber.

should return. In process of time the watch
man announced that the boat which had
been freighted with the valiant, was coming
back, and when it was third of the way in
its passage across the river, sharp eyes de-
tecied a man with his cloak wrapped around
him, lying in the bottom of the flat-boat.
The news spread quickly over the town that
one OF the avengers of, nobody knew exact
ly what, had fallen victim to his courage;
and womanly eyes were ready to weep at
the thought of the havoc that would be made
IN somebody's heart. But now, as often,
the near contradicted the far. When the
boat landed it was found that some wag had
put in log, and had thrown over it a cloak,
SO that expectation might not be let down
from its elevation too suddenly. The vic
TINS, who had so bravely prepared themselves
for the sacrifice, were both alive and we'll.
Their honor had been healed by other plas-
ter than that of blood. When the danger
came within touching distance, their wrath
became placable. A friend, who had gotten
an inkling OF what was on hand, had follow
ed them, and reached the place as Lincoln
was clearing away the brush to have chance
for fair fight, and succeeded, just in the
nick of time, in convincing them, as many
another man has been convinced, that ''dis-
cretion is the better part of valor."
To Mr.. Lincoln, with his quick sense of
the ridiculous and nice appreciation of hu-
NOR, the whole thing must have been very
laughable in after years, unless, which is
possible, 1t was little bit notifying
Whether he ever used the story to illustrate
the parturtion of mountains and the bring
ing forth of mice, do not know. He proba-
bly, would have done so, had he not himself

DEAFNESS vs.. BLINDNEss.-one of the
many advantages of hearing over sight, as
n guardian sense, arises from the fact that in
lhe material world warnings of danger come
mainly through the ear. This is, first, be-
cause, during half the time, darkness pre-
walls over the world, and then the sentinel
nj tbe eve is off guard; but the one at the
ear listens during all the waking hours, and,
oven when the body sleeps, is still half
awake. for the ear shuts no lid, as the eye
does. And second, because the eye receives
no warning unless the rays of light strike
nearly from the front, and therefore more
Than half the circle round US is unguarded
But the ear gathers IN sounds not only from
ali around, but from above and below. Un-
less the rattlesnake be in the direct path the
eve secs him not, while the ear catches the
first note of warning, come from where it
NAV The thinnest substance stops light;
hut sound trayerses thick walls. Besides,
sirbt is more voluntary more in
voluntary; almost automatic indeed. Sights
are shut out easily; sounds with difficulty.
You can be blind at will; you cannot shut
out all sound, even by stopping the ears

A REMARKABLE CONVERSION. Members of the
Young Mems Christian Association at Provi-
dence, r. l., recently determined to visit the
drinking saloons Of the city for missionary work.
Appointing prayer meeting on Sunday even
iugs at their hall, thsy went in groups Of three
or four into all the Saloons and all places of idle
resort, courteOusIy but earnestly inviting those
present to attend the meeting One of the worst
places is in back alley, and called the "Metro.
politan." II was the resort of the basest and
most vicious young men, for gambling and drink
ing and low minstrelsy. The young men asked
the proprietor if they might sing from his plat
form, and he said, eyes, sing away" They
sang in fine style a patriotic song, and then
struck up hymn, which hushed the crowd
with amazement. Another hymn, and then one
stated their object in a few words, until the
hoarse voice of the proprietor told them preach.
ing was not in the bargain. They thanked him
for the privilege of singing, and next week called
again, going so far as to engage the hall for Q
after the proprietor Of the "Metropolitan," wh(
had loudly scoffed at the whole movement, ap
peared at the association rooms, and, rising il
the meeting, asked the prayers Of Christians ii
his behalf He has since closed up his saloon
and is one os the active exhorters in religion
meoinge. Christians and unbeievers all &C
knowledge great change in the man, and hi
conversion in Providence has aroused an interes
equal to that felt in New York over the cOnver
sion of 0rvillc Gardner, in 1857.

FATE OF Bounty JuMrER.-A VIGOROUSLY
vicious young mau known as Robert Magee was
sentenced on Thursday, at Troy, N. Y, to Clin-
ton Prison, for the term of fifteen years. He
gave his ago at twenty-five, so that when he
emerges from the prison walls he will be in the
decline of life. Magees real criminal career
commenced when ''big bounty" excitement was
at it's height, previous to the close of the war.
He was one of the most expert and successful Of
the great horde of wretches known as ''bounty
jumpers" who defrauded the government out Of
millions of money, and almost demoralized the
armies. He followed the dumping" business
until he realized very large amount of money.
He then went into the recruiting business as o
"broker," viz;-Takng a number Of rsscals Of
his own character under his ewing" to another
State or to any place where big bounties were
paid, and selling them to the bona fde recruit
ing agents for the highest market price. Each
of the ''sham" recruits would pay over their
bounty to Magee, who next turned his attention
to securing their escape. In this he was gem
orally successful, and on being released, the
Jumpers" received probably one-ihird Of the
bounty from Mageo, he claiming the remainder
for his services. The fellow was known to have
in his possession at one time over twenty thou
sand dollars, all of which he realized IN this
way. But he ''oouldn't stand prosperity" His
ill.gotten gains were lavished on wine and other
extravagances, and when the "bOunty" bubble
bursted, at the close of the war, he was reduced
almost to poverty Then, like hundreds, nay
thousands of others of his class, he turned hil
attention to every species of rascality, from
pocket picking to highway robbery and burglary
He was frequently apprehended, but almost in
vsriably succeeded in getting clear. But he ha
''run his race" at last.

THE PRINTER's TOLL

Blow ye stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly, drifting snow
Closely housed, the busy printer
IIeeds not how the winds may blow
Click, click. his types go dropping
Here and there upon his case,
AZ he stands for hours popping
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every comfort mortal need,
For our nights were dull in winter,
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition,
If no printer boys were found
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin and suffering would abound.
Yes, II is the busy printer
Rolls the car Of knowledge on,
Aud gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign IL he were gone.
Moneys useful, yet in winter
Fills not half so htRh place
As the busy, toiling printer
lingering types before the case
Yet while type they're busy setting,
on some thsnkless poppinjay
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay.
Oh ingratitude ungraeiousl-
Are these Hnenlightened souls,
Men with minds 80 ineapaclous
As to slight the printers tolls :

lingering type before the case,
Tolling, till he's almost dizzy,
TO exalt the human race.
