Get Sleep Enough.

A young man in business must acknowledge
one mathematical fact. He knows by experience
about how many hours of sleep he needs to be
as fresh one day as on the previous day. He
must acknowledge the fact that he cannot sit up
late and rise early, and get this amount of sleep.
There is right mathematical obstacle to the ac-
complishment of such a feat. If he needs seven
hours sleep-as many young men door eight
hours-as more young men do--he cannot get
them between one O'Clock, A. a., and seven
o'clock, A. VI. If he insists ON late hours he
must neglect either his slcep at night or his
business in the morning Nearly every young
man has sufficient mathematical acuteness at
seven o'clock, A. M., to appreciate the impossi-
bility of taking one from seven and leaving eight
The question is whether or not he appreciates
this impossibility in the evening, when he is
called upon to decide between "jolly good time
and his bed. One very frequent mistake is that
lost sleep can be made up" In the first place,
whatever young man may intend to do, he
very seldom actually tries to make up for lost
sleep. If he needs eight hours sleep and gets
but FIVE, he usually makes mp the lost three BY
sleeping about one hour longer than usual the
Bext night. Or perhaps he depends on Sunday
balancing the whole week, and BY three hours
extra sleep "'makes up for ten hours lost. In
the second place, ono honr of regular sleep is
worth, for purposes Of recuperation, ut least two
hours Of make up" slumbcr. Thefs is, tpracti-
cally, no such thing as making up lost sleep.

WoMEN's RIGHTs CoNyENrIoN.-BosToN
Nov. 18.-In the Women's Rights Convention
memorial was adopted asking Congress that
women's rights be secured in all future consti.
tutional amendments and Legislation for Terrific
ries and the District of Columbia.
Senator Wilson spoke, saying when this ques-
tion was kept distinct from other questions, he
would favor giving women the right to vote
They should appeal to the higher and nobler SEN
timents of the people, and not to their passions
and predjudices.
Other addresses were made and the conven-
tion adjourned to Thursday.

Educate Yourself

The New York Sun is urging working men to
cultivate the intellect, and become as intelligent
and we'll informed as any other members Of So
ciety: .,.s.f... -....
''It is surprising how much may be obtained
by devoting few hours each day to study, dur
ing series of years. Gibbon produced his great
work rather by the regularity than the protracted
nature Of his daily studies. Franklin became
the wiscst and one ofthc best read of his cotem-
poraries in the midst Of incessant labor. And if
the workman, with his hcathful mind SO well
prepared for the reception of knowledge, will
give two hours each day TO careful study, he
may, in few years, surpass in general informa-
ton the great majority Of college graduates, who
SO often obtain diploma without deserving it,
or who have laid aside their learning the mo-
ment they left their prcccptors. He may elevate
his own intellect by coming into communion with,
the eminent ntcllects Of the past" s.-

they advance, should gain good acquaintance
with the first principles of rarious studies and
sciences, so that they may develop their taste,
and may pursue such study in AFTER life. My
children, therefore, study mineralogy, or nithol.
ogy, and other branches Of natural history, and
do it mainly by, themselves as q recreation.
What is studied should be studied thoroughly,
but think that men and manners, the state of
the world, &C., should be known, and the infor-
nation may be drawn from interesting books put
in their hands, and the periodicals Of the day.
We sometimes have an exercise in ready poetry,
taking such book as Milton or Shakespeare,
and each reading portion and being then called
upon to answer such questions on the language,
figures, illusions, &c, in the portion read, as
others may ask. Sometimes also tie children
amusc themselves with taking a subject, and
then each one in order contributing line Of
poetry, SC as to carry along the subject, and 30
repeating the process, till number of verses
have been made. Any thing to keep the mind
active, happy, and properly improved, is my
motto. III p 1'a..
=. I am obliged to you for your article on the
use of the Bible in schools, and think your views
correct. l think it generally better for boys
and girls to study together, and prefer our State
system of schools to private -

Egyptian Wheat.

Mr. J. II. McElwee, of this place, has shown
us sample of ofEgyptian Wheat which was grown
we think, in CASTOR county, N: @. 1t resembles
the top of Sorghum cane, the brush being almost
as large, and the kernels something larger than
cookie seed, and white. This wheat requires a
rich soil, is very productive, and two crops a
year can be raised, if not three The yield is
prodigious and the -four the best. 1t is not
liable to rust and smut. April is the time to
sow-StatesrWc american.
CoRN.-A great deal of corn is wofully wasted
after all the trouble and expense Of powing,
planting and harvesting This waste is abso-
lutely wicked, and with trifing extra care may
be easily remedied In the first place. in husk-
ing, vigilant lookout ought to be kept that no
unripe, unsound ear or half-made ''nubbin" goes
in with the pile that is to go into the crib. The
pig pen is the better place for all such material.
One unsound ear may, and often does, damage
a whole bushel of sound corn. Next, wherever
you going to put corn to keep, put coal Or gas
tar about the premises pretty literally at first.
1t is an utter abomination to rats and mice.
They will not board in the corn crib favored
pretty strongly with gas tar. Half dollars
worth of tar will save ten dollars worth of corn.

The Fruits of Misrepresentation.

Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the "Ifstoricus" Of the
London Times, and man of considerable note
| In England, both as politician and literary
man, lately stated at meeting Of the Social
Science Congress in Manchester that:
''Gentlemen who have travelled in the South.
ern States have often seen persons sit down to
peaceful dinner with revolver in each coat-tail
pocket. Of course it was only for the purpose
| of elfdefence but then it very frequently hap.
pened that before dinner was over, two or three
were shot,"
The above shows the impression that has been
created on the mind of an educated man by con-
slant perusal of the Radical papers. We do not
wonder that these journals have produced such
an effect upon the mind of a foreigner, when
they have induced SO many Americans to look
upon TIE people of the South as q set of barba.
rians even worse than the Feejee Islanders.
We trust, now that the object of such gross
misrepresentation no longer exists, that our peo-
pie will have some rest from such systematic
maligning as no other men were ever subjected
to- There are good and bad in the South az
everywhere else, but we do not believe that the
inhabitants of even the outskirts of our section
are worse than they are in Colorado aud Nevada,
which never have been reckoned as belonging TO
the Southern country. AS long as fierce polit-
ical contest was going on, it was perhaps to be
expected that an unscrupulous press should be
reckless in its assertions about the South, since
by pursuing such course it was able 10 increase
the chances of success of the Republican party.
1t is to be hoped, however, that now that the
great object of the Radicals has been accom-
plished, the newspapers and politicians should
give us respite for while The belief that
property and life are not safe in the South has
totally prevented any emigration to our section,
and has entirely shut out capital from seeking
investment in our country, where it is 80 much
needed, and where it would give SO rich return.
We think that selfinterest alone would induce
the moneyed classes of the North to exert them
selves to put stop to this abuse of people,
which under the chromosomes. are as orderly m
could be expected of them or Of any otssrs In tbe
same condition. .Ht 9o 81 l8s fas

GEN. SHERMAN.-If the New York Times
knows any more than the rest of us what will
happen hereafter, General Sherman viii be the
man of the next administration. "He will be
the man nearest to the war President sild most
influential in his counsels, whether as Secretary
of War, General or Lieutenant-G General either
of which Offices viii be at his option. In fact,
there is nothing in the gift of Grant which Sher-
man cannot have. But Gen. S. is said to be no
politician, and could never become one. He is
too honest and too impulsive, and would as likely
assail the corruptions of his own party as those
of the adversary He has such horror of dig
honesty that he could make no distinction be-
tween friend and foe IF he makes Washington
his residence, as the Times says he will, and
takes part in the administration, he will probably
have his time well occupied in hating rogues-
