Go TO SLEEP EARLY.-Msny children,
instead Of being plump and fresh as .
peach, are as withcred and wrinkled as
last year apples. because they do not
sleep enough. Some physicians think the
bones grow only during sleep. This !
cannot say certainly (; but l do know that
those little folks who sit up late nights
are usually weak, nervous, small and
eickly. The reason why you need more
sleep than your parents is because you
have to grow and they do not. They can
use up the food they cat in thinking.
talking and working. while you should
save n, Of yours for growing. You
ought to sleep a great deal ; If you do
not you will in activity consume all you
eat, and have none, or not enough, to
grow with. Very few smart children ex.
eel, or evcn equal. other people when
they grow up. Why is this Because
their heads, If not their bodies are kept
too busy +; 90 they cannot sleep, rest. and
grow strong in body and brain. Now,
when your mother says Susie or Mary, or
whatever your uame may be, it is time to
60 to bed, do not worry her by begging
to sit up Just a little longer" But
hurry off to your chamber, remembering
that you have . great deal Of sleeping
and growing to do to make you a heal
Thy. happy, useful man or woman.

CONFEDERATE HunR.-A lady sends to
the Land We Love, the following:
We girls Of the Valley of Virginia did
not believe implicitly 10 the trite maxim
that J" beauty when unadorned, is adorn-
ed the most" and we made streuous ef-
forts to save our prettiest dresses and or.
nsments froo the restorers of the Union,'
so that we might appear in our bravest
attire when our soldiers came along
And We we're equally careful to wear our
ugliest and plsinest clothes when the
Yanks held the town. This rule was not
confined to the ladies, but extended to
the few men left behind. A gentleman,
who wished to do justice to our soldiers,
who had just driven the Yanks out of
town, put On a new white suit which had
just run the blockade. He rode along q
line Of Confederates, displaying his store
clothes to the best advantage. But the
boys, thinking that lie ought to be in the
army, applied to him some very un-
complimentary remarks.
"If you don't take care my sweet
youth, you'll get your clothes muddy
" Who's your wssherwoman 7" "How
much do you Ak for that are shroud of
yourn p "Mister, what makes you have
mud on your clothes I"
All these and many more taunts our
hero bore most manfully, until a long,
lank, lean specimen Of the so-called from
the late State of Alabama, stepped up
said, "you id wbite-coated, whiteliv-
cred exempt, when did you die 7"
