Rulos OF Sleep.

Rules OF Sleep. - a.. ~
DR.. Winslow says there is no fact more
clearly established in the physiology Of
man than that the brain expands its ener-
gies and itself during the hours of wake
fulness, and these are recuperated during
sleep. If the recuperation does not equal
the expenditure, the brain withers-this
is insanity. Thus it is that in early Eng
lish history, persons who were condemned
to death by being prevented from sleeping
always died raving maniacs thus it is also
those who are starved to death become
insane-the brain is not nourished, and
they cannot sleep. The practical Inference
is, that those who think most who do
most brain work, require most sleep, and
that time ''snved" from necessary sleep is
in:allibly destructive to mind. body and
estate. Give yourself, your children, your
servants-give all that are under you, tho
fullest amount of sleep they will take, by
compelling them to so to bed at some reg
alar hour, and to rise in the morning the
moment they awake and in fortnight,
Nature, with almost Il G regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds Of sleep
the moment enough repose has been secur-
ed for the wants of the system. This is
the only safe and sufficient rule and as
to the question how much sleep any one
requires, must be rule for himself-great
Nature will never fail to write it out to
the observer under the regulations just
given. al#A o..

The state republican conventions Of both
Indiana and Ohio adopted plank in
their platforms indorsing the financial pol
icy of Hon. Geo. Ii. Pendleton, of paying
OF interest bearing bonds with greenbacks
as fast as they become due, and which was
30 loudly denounced by the radical press
and politicians of the country as a "Cop-
perhead Reputation scheme" Now it is
reported that radical congressman, Burr.
of Illinois, offered a resolution in the
House the other day declaring that a
sound financial policy requires the with.
drawal Of the interest bearing bonds, and
substitution Of greenbacks." A bond
holding congressman makes motion to
lay it on the table, which was lost by a
vote Of Is to Sc, the western members yot'
ing in the negative.
This is a pretty healthy indication Of
"repudiation for our radical friends.-
With the popular house of congres and
the republican conventions of Indiana and
Ohio endorsing Pendleton's financial policy
we should think Democratic ''repudiation'
was gaining ground.-Fayette Co. Onion.

KEROSENE OIL.-On the night of the
18th inst, the residence of I. II. Myers,
situated about two and one half miles
north of Auburn, was entirely destroyed
by fire, and nearly all the contents con.
sumed.
The FIRE was caused by the daughter of
Mr.. Myers attempting to fill Kerosene
lamp while the lamp was burning, the
flames, by some means, caught in the can,
when frightful explosion was the conse-
quence, scattering the FIRE in every direc-
ton. The daughter was very severely
burned, and Mrs. Myers, who was sitting
near the lamp, received large amount of
the burning oil in her face and bosom,
burning the face horribly, and setting her
clothes on fire, burning the clothes off her
entirely; the FIRE burning SO deep into
her flesh that it is considered doubtful
about her recovery.
The catastrophe has thrown gloem
over the entire neighborhood, as Mr.. NJ.
and family were much respected, and it
falls heavily upon Mr.. NJ. in pecuniary
manner, as he is left entirely destitute,
with large family upon his hands. The
friends of Mr.. Myers are raising means
for his relief ~a

Getting Married.
There is nothing in life so important as
getting married, and yet it is rare that you
see two persons who have recently expert
cnced that delightful transmutation which
6guratively turns ''two into one," without
noticing a sort Of sheepish softness, kind
Of calclike stare, as though they were
ashamed of each other or that their interior
satisfaction was so immense that they had
no mind for any subject outside the new
kingdom which they had fallen heir to-
Our editorial window is opposite to, and
on a level with, the balcony Of the Evans
House, and it is frequently our luck to
notice on that balcony couple of human
curiosities who have fed from either an
eastern or western locality to enjoy the few
first days Of excitement in tho hope per-
haps that their fondins would be the less
noticed by strangers than by their home
acquaintances or, what is quite as pro-
babie, to escape that Internal din of char
ararie-(shiuaree, as Americans call it, y
which puts any quiet man out of patience
with his rac,. We often have the luxury
Of witnessing these delicate attentions
which married folks will pay to each other
for the first few days at least, and it is
not uncommon for US to moralize at length
mentally, on the curiosities Of this pairing

about it in the paper because it is seldom
We allude to any subject having bearing
on the intimacies of the sexes at all. One
thing we venture to state, and that is that
the ladies, when first married, are invari-
ably the most sensible they enter into
the subject as though they were born tor

II house is miserable,) and that only bu-
siness arrangement had been consumated !;
but the man appears as though he had
gone daft, and in nine cases out Of ten he
looks as if he was not sure whether he
was entitled to hat or bonnet, so com
pletely has he been transformed. This
