Position in Sleeping.

1t is better to go to sleep on the right
side, says Halls Journal of Health, for
then the stomach is very much in the
position of bottle turned upside down,
and the contents of it are aided in pass
ing out by gravitation. If one goes to
sleep on the left side the operation of
emtying the stomach of its contents is
more like drawing from a well. After
going to sleep let the body take its own
position. If you sleep on your back,
especially soon after hearty meal, the
weight of the digestive organs and that
of the food resting on the great vein of
the BODY, near the backb bone, congresses
it, and arrests the flow of the blood more
or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep
is disturbed, and there are unpleasant
dreams. If a meal has been recent and
hearty, the arrest is more decided; and
the various sensations such as falling
over precipice, or the pursuit of wild
beast, or ether impending dangers, and
the desperate effort to get rid of it,,
arouses us, and sends on the stagnating
blood; and we wake in fright, or trem-
bling, or in perspiration, or feeling,
exhausted, according to the stagnation,
and the length and strength of the efforts
made to escape the danger.
But when we are unable to escape the
danger-wh an we do not fall over the
precipice, when the trembling building
crushes us-what then? That is death!
That is the death of those Of whom it is
said, when found lifeless in the morn
ing, "That they were as well as ever
they were the day BEFORE" and often it
is added, and ate hartier than common"
This last, as frequent cause of death to
those who have gone to bed to wake no
more we give merely as private opin-
ion. The possibility of its truth is
enough to deterany rational man from
a late and hearty meal. This we do
know with certainty, that waking up
with painful diarrhea, or cholera, or bill
GUS cholic. ending in death in very
short time, is probably traceable to late
large meal. The truly wise will take
the safe side. For persons to eat three
times day, it is amply sufficient to
make the last meal of cold bread and
butter, and a cup of some warn. drink
No one can starve on it; while a per-
severance in the habit soon begets a
vigorous APPETITE for breakfast, so prom
ising of. a day of comfort.

The singing Lesson
BY JEAN IseELow.


nightengale made a mistake;
She sang few notes out of tune,
Her heart was ready to break,
And she hid from the moon:
Sho wfung her claws, poor thing
But was far too proud TO SPEAK
She tuck'd her head under her wing,
And pretended to be asleepi
A lark, arm-in-arm with a thrush,
Came sauntering up to the place;
the nightingale felt herself plusn,
Though feathers hid her face.
She knew they had heard her song,
She felt them snigger and sneer,
She thought this life was too long,
And wished she could skip year.
sOh, nightengale ~ Good dove,
"Oh, nightengalei what's the use,
You bird of beauty and love.
Why behave like a goose?
Don't skulk away from our s1gnt
Like common, contemplate fowl;
You bird Of joy and delight,
Why behave like an owl? !,
aOnly think of all you have done;
Only think Of all you can do;
A false note Is really fun
From such bird as you'll
Lift up your proud little crest;
Open your musical beak;
Other birds have TO do their best,
You need only speak.
The nightengale shyly took
Her head from under her wing,
And giving the the dove look,
Stralghtway began to sing.
There was never bird could pass,
The night was divinely calm.
And the people stood on the grass,
To hear the wonderful psalm!
The nightingale did not care,
She only sang to the skies;
Her song assembled there,
And there she fix'd her eyes,
The people that stood below
She knew but little about;
And this story's moral, know,
Ifyou'u try to find it out!

The Cattle Disease in Tennessee.
The Nashville Union says.

The terrible mortality among the cat
tie in this vicinity, from what is known
as the cattle plague, it is still unabated.
On last Saturday Col. w. F. Prosser lost
seven very fine milch cows on his farm
seven miles out ON the Neely's Bend
road. A Mrs. Galligan, living near
Aliens shop, on the Gallatin pike, dur
ing the last week also lost several head.
Squire John Taylor, an old and expert
enced farmer of this county, gives it as
his opinion that the disease is that OF
spinal affection, and that if the affected
subject could have their tails cut off when
first attacked great many could be
saved.

Origin of Old Hundred,
The New York Sun says:

Ine new 1Ork sun says:
The Rev. Robert Collver, of Chicago,
says that Luther took the grand meas
ure we know as Old Hundred from the
ballad music of the hepeasants of his time"
AS this idea respecting that magnificent
piece of music, though very common, is
erroneous, it may be worth while to state
the truth respecting it. 1t was not de-
rived from ballad music, but appears to
have been compiled from the Gregorian
chants. There are four of these old
chants in existence, from which the
whole of Old Hundred may be made up.
Its compiler was not Luther, but most
probably William Franc, who furnished
the music to the Geneva Psalms, publish,
ed in 1864. In that publication the
tune in question was contained. 1t was
originally known as the One hundredth
Psalm, Thence its present title
