There is no fact more clearly es-

diture, the brain withers-this is in
sanity. Thus it is that, in early his

to death by being prevented from
sleeping, always died raving ma

cannot sleep. The time saved from

by compelling them to 90 to bed at

almost the regularity of the rising

the moment enough repose has been
secured for the wants OF the system.

Sinking Productive Labor.

In the report of an agricultural ad,
dress before US we read
For years past, oar boys, and
young men have exhibited q grow.
ing aversion to honest, manly toll, to
manual labor, or productive industry
Of any kind.
This is the theme of bitter COM
| plant in the press, the pulpit, and
everywhere else but there is lsttle
hope OF correction of the evil, ex-
cept in general collapse with many
kindred evils.
Every one who shrinks would be
remiss in his duty by neglecting to
protest against the growing aversion
to working for living. Fashionable
sentiment says that the ignorant and
the poor must do all the hard work,
while those who are somewhat edu-
Gated, or are able by hook or by
crook to escape work, should be en-
gagged in more genteei occupations.
1t is the school system and the
great numbers of foreign immigrants
that nave produced this state of
things, and we know of no remedy
except to so far multiply the educa>
ted class that they will be compelled
to work or starve to death. In the
same paper that contains the address
above quoted from, We read -
+" Whenever labor ceases to be hon.
orable in the eyes of any people, the
doom of that notion is sealed"
What we would say is that the
doom Of this nation cannot be SO
easily sealed, The motto has long
been, " let those work who can't get
rid of it, and still the nation exists.
LABOR is honorable, bat the trouble
is that it is honorable only in the
comparative degree, there being 9TH
or occupations, or no occupation at
all, that are or is more honorable.
We see no other cure than the CON-
pulsion of the laws of nature, iorc-
ing all the able-bodied to work.
Every body praises lobor, but it is
the labor Of other people.
When we End those who toll with
their hands, good and strong, prais>
ing labor as honorable above ell
things. we shall pay some attention
to their rhetoric on this subject. As
long as genteel situations afford
more reward than labor, there will
be rush from the farm and the shop
of all who hope to get situations
elsewhere. Let the schools SO null
tiply this class that wages and sala-
ries will be SO low in such situations
that none but the weak, the crippled
or the women will fill them, aud
then they viii cease to be more hor.
orable, and able bodied men will be
glad to work. Then tho farm and
the shop will be elevated by q great
increase of intelligence. We cay,
therefore, hurry on the education of
the people.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.--It Is the be-
lief of certain well meaning men, who
were not born in Constantinople, that
if the American girl we're called to
meet a proportion of her expenses By
her own labor, shc wood be publicly
q greater blessing, and personally
healthier, wiser, and happier. 1t is
even believed that her outlay, instead
ofincreasing would diminish. Pratic-
ed in the mystery OF keeping &C
counts, aware by experience of tho
difficulty of earning money, she
would be clever enough to save it,
With something to do, she would put
less mind, time and purse into the
pursuit of pleasure. Mated at last
with "a poor man, $50 many ale
incorrigable vicious that way y she
would share his burden rather than
crush him with it. Ifall women now
were thus, we should have no cause
to cry, as we are sometimes tempted
to do, Oh for the slow but cheap
of thirty years sincel Whether
democracy is capable ofsome remains

Women and Muscle.

Eliza Archard opines that the way
for women to gain equal rights
with man is to acquire equal muscle.
She quotes the German proverb:-
make a sheep of yourself, and the
wolf will eat you" She says it
sounds natural to hear of muscle and
manhood, butt never heard ofmuscu,
lar wemanhood Women have made
sheep of themselvs by their muscular
weakness, and they act like sheep in
following the bell>weather. She
says she once saw four women try
TO kiss one man, on wager, aud
they could not do it. and he was
only man OF ordinary muscle, and
they were above tho average of wo-
men. And the worst of it is, they
are proud of their weakness, and
they make parade of their physical
delicacy, and their delight is to be-
leive themselves born to cling to q
stronger sex, ''like the ivy to the
way, and to be whey and twiney
and Whitney throughout" She con-
cludes that this race of weaklings
viii never win their right of suffrage,
and do not deseryeit. Indeed, hei
philosophy seems to be that woman
must be free before she can have her
political rights, and that to be free
she herself must strike the blow
For, as to suffrage as q concession
she says:
When women make a boast o
of their utter incapacity to take cars
of themselves, it is hard to see, some
times, what possible rights they
ought to have. Perhaps, somo day
in piety to our weakness, masculine
legislators will give US the rights
TO vote, but woman should b.
ashamed to accept it thus. The
half contentious boon which is con
ceded to be weakness because it il
not strong enough to do any harm
is very different thing from th'
glorious right which. like the Mag
ma Charta, is granted because it can
not be withheld. Obtaining th'
right of suffrage as pitiful aims, flung
to us dog and bonlike, is very diff
erent thug from rising, in roya
strength OF body and soul, and de-
handing that right"

) The Teeth Of aHorse.

At five years of age . horse has
forty teeth-twenty molRr or Jaw
teeth, twelve incisor front teeth, be-
tween the melars and incisors but
usually wanting in the mare.
At birth only the two nippers or
middle incisors appear.
At year old the ineisors are ell
visible onthe first or milk set.
Before three years, tho permanent
nippers have come through.
At fouryears old the permanent di.
yiders next to the incisors are cut
At five the month is perfect, the
second set of teeth having been COM
pleted.
At six the hollow under the nipper,
called the mark, has disappeared
from the nippers, and diminished in
the dividers.
At seven the mark has disappeared
from the dividers, and the next teeth
or corners are level thought showing
the mark.
|. At eight the mark has gone from
the corners, and the horse IS said 60
be aged. After this time, indeed,
good authorities say that after fve
years the age of the horse can only
be conjectui ed. But the teeth gradu-
ally change their change, the incisors
becoming round, oval and triangular.
Dealers some times bishop the teeth
of old horses that is, scoop them out
to initiate the mark but thin can
be known by the absence of the
white edge of the enamel which ale
ways surrounds the real mark, by
the shape of the teeth and other
marks OF age about the animal

Cuba and the United States.

A correspondent of the Newark I'D.
vertiser says
The native Cuban population nat
urally feel a bitter jealousy toward
their Spanish rulers, who now regard
them only rs subjects for plumber,
having no interest in their welfare
and they refuse all social intimacy
with them. An intelligent Cuban
gentlemen, who is an enthusiastic ad
mirer of our institutions and delights
to praise them on all occasions, in
forms me that during the last carni-
uous demonstrations of friendship
for our Government than the people
ever dared to maize before. Among
other incidents was that of lady
who personated the Genius OF Liber.
ty, wrapped in an American flag,
in which characteristic passed through
the crowded streets, constantly ap-
plauded and unchecked by the Gov
eminent officers. This is very res
markable manifestation of an advanc-
ed state of popular license.
The more enterprising portion Of
the native population are represents
ed TO be strongly in favor of annexa-
ton to the United States, but the
slavery question embarrasses their
decision for the present because OF
tho immense loss they would sustain
on that account. Even in this mat
ter there is a growing disposition to
follow our example.
Slave property is not so favorably
looked upon as it was a few years
ago, and il appears to be diminishing
in value and demand, chiefly in cons
sequence of the increasing liability
to its ability to It's abolition, but
partly because Of a more enlightened
estimate of its impracticabjlity.-
Very few negroes are employed in
the city except in occupations which
require no skill or fidelity. They
are more plentiful on the plantations
where they can be forced to labor
like animals under the eye of a lash
of a more brutal driver. The Chi
nese coolies are seen everywhere, and
are preferred to the negroes because
of their superior intelligence. They
enlist for the service in China, under
contract to labor for eight years fol
wages, amounting TO from four to sil
dollars per month.
