KISS ME.--A very funny incident occurred in neighboring city, says an exchange not-far from Brook haven, q few days since, and one which is too good to be lost. One ofour composers has written very pretty song entitled kiss Me-" A little pretty, blushing maid, having heard of the song, and thinking she would get k, with some others, stepped into music store to make a purchase. One of the clerks, 8 modest young man, stepped up to wait on her. The young lady threw back her veil, saying:
 q want Rock Me to Sleep.n
 The clerk got the song and put it be- fore her.
 Now said the young lady, want the Wandering Refugee"
 "Yes, ma'am,p said the clerk, bow ing, and in a few minutes he produced the .sRefugee."
 "Now, Kiss Me-" said the young lady, of course meaning the song above mentioned.
 The poor clerks eyes popped fire as he looked at the young lady in utter astonishment, for he was not aware of the fact that song by that name had been published.
 "Wh--what did you say, Miss"
 kiss Me- said she.
 T cant do it--I never kissed & young lady in my life, said the bashful clerk.
 And about that time veil dropped, syoung lady left in hurry, clerk felt sick, and dealer lost the sale ef some music.

A Coon WIFg.-A friend of ours who has been spending a few weeks in the country, and who has visited some of the private dwellings of the rustic inhabitants, tells of a singular old man who lives near Brookfield. He is som 0 what noted for his odd expressions. He was one day visited by small par ty of ladies and gentlemen who went to hear him talk Now, young gem tlemen," said he, I will give you some directions how to tell good wife. A good wife will be like three things, and she will not be like them. She will be like the snail who stays at home, and she will not be like the snail who car ries all it has on it's back. She will be like the echo, speack when spoken 10, and she will never be like the echo always to have the last word. She will be like the town clock that speaks at the right time, and she will not be likc the town clock, heard all over town.

Sleep is much habit, especially to sleep much; so also to sleep but little and the practice in childhood has much to do with the amount of our sleeping the habit is formed and be- t---s+ --i---t-r ysssv isssrs- sion of tue mental faculties is not the whole secret of the benefits of sleep. Rest is the main thing; rest to the body for the mind, if not part of the body, is so intimately connected with it, aud dependent upon it, that If one suffers the other is affected also, par ticularly is this so with the body in respect 10 the mind.
 We sleep too much--though sleep is enjoined by our wise men-their view is no doubt much influenced by their own indolence, loving to doze away an hour or two in the morning, which is one of the easiest luXuries in the world to fall into. Rest the body and the mind will sympathize. The only dan ger is in oyertasking the mind. But if the work isregular; with proper remis- sion, and there is no entanglemcnt, no confusion, especially no distress in con fusion, no harm can result. It is sur- prising how much work can be done by well balanced, vigorous man.--This being so, how much will be gained where an hour is taken from sleep and devoted to use. In lifetime this amounts to something. And this can be done. The habit can gradually be formed to sleep less. But mind you, it must be done gradually and perse- vercd in. Much, as we know, can thus be accomplished. A hard days labor necessitates sleep, much more than 8 day of inactivity. Where night of labor, hard labor, is added, the thing becomes almost suicidal. Insanity is greatly provoked in this way-and would surely be brought oil, if perse- vered in.
 Let us then remember that rest to the person, body and mind, is cquiva- lent, in good measure, to sleep; and that we can acquire the habit of less sleep; six or seven hours instead of eight or nine. Lying abed tires the limbs long sleeping fatigues the body :; clouds the mind, and makes dull man. The early riser is generally the spright- ly man, because he sleeps less.

as victory perched on their banners somebody ought
to be brevetted for heroic conduct. Had this affair
happened with the "greasers' In a one horse town
in Mexico 1t would have been elevated to the dig.

arng heads, have given space to recount it to the
value of three columns. So we go in the way Of

WRESTLING.

Match for the Championship and $4,000 Be-
tween Homer Lane and Lu Thompson, at
Harrisburg, Pa.-Thomps0n the Victor.
For some weeks back this match has excited great
interest among the sporting fraternity, and 1t was
brought to satisfactory issue yesterday at the above
place. Homer Lane born IN Lowville, Lewis
county, n Y, in 1884, stands five feet eight inches
and weighs one hundred and 1fty-two pounds
Thompson was born in Chatauqua county, N. Y, in
1929, stands five feet eleven inches and weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds Lane has contested in
sixty matches and only lost two Of them.
Thompson has also tossed several good men and was
thought by his hackers to be invncible. The match
was to have been decided at the Harrisburg Trottng
Park, but before the time arrived heavy shower
came on and finally the hackers Of the men decided
to bring 1t In room OF the Harrisburg Park House.
At fifteen minutes to four time called, and the
men took hold. There was an immense disparity in
size, Thompson towering over his opponent, but
Still the betting was IN favor OF Lane The first
round occupied six minutes, and terminated In
man and threw him squarely; time, three minutes.
The third bout occupied five minutes, and was de-
cded by the referee side fall. In the fourth tussle
by sheer strength threw Lane; time.
eight minutes. The fifth encounter terminated in
another side fall occupying six minutes; and in the
sixth, after brief struggle OF three minutes, Lane
was thrown. This decided the contest, and Thomp-
son was hailed the victor.
ID. G. Sullivan, OF Pennsylvania, was umpire for
Lane, and ]. II. Stevens, OF New York, for ThOmp-
sen, while Harry Hill, OF this city, acted referee
Some thousands OF dollars changed hands on the
re suit as there was large attendance Of the sport
ing element from all parts Of the Union.

oin i me Mexican papers all appear delighted
with this bit Of news.
. Ihere are many and loud complaints made In
Mexico City because the national authorities not
redeeming the provisional currency at the rates 1t
was issued. BY provisional Is meant those coins
made and circulated by the republican government
curing Its days OF need and trial. when almost hope
essly struggling against the Intervention These
coins were Improperly aOyed and had nominal
value with forced circulation greatly In excess Of
their real worth. II is conended that 1t Is unjust
and disrepuable for the government to repudiale
the coins at less than they paid out for This
reasoning seems to have had no effect with the au
thorities as, at the latest advices, they had not
changed their determination. or course the mer-
chants refuse TO take this provisional currency on
other terms than those OF the government and there
fore the holders have to suffer considerable loss
when dispOsing OF them.
