No business except the reading

The following paragraphs from

sage are samples of its tone: In
many parishes the late election
was the occasion of most disgrace
full acts of intimidation, culmina-
ting in several instances in scenes
of massacre, shocking to the sense
of civilized men, and only finding
parallels in the annals of savage
warfare. These instances of saw
age cruelty, unprOvoked, but will
full and premeditated, seem to
have been instigated by the hos
tility Of certain classes Of the laws
of Congress, by which the govern
ment has embodied the colored
population into the body polite
and youchsafed to them equal
political and civil rights. He
states that in reply to application
for troops, orders were issued
which might be construed to mean
something in Georgia, but which
in Louisiana might be said tocon-
sist only of words; that these or
ders were made public, and serv-
ed only to inform the lawless that
they need have no fear from that
quarter, and prosecute their an
archical schemes without limit to
their purpose.

ETSLEEP ENoUGH.-A young
man in business must ackn0wl-
edge one mathematical fact. He
knows by experience about how
many hours sleep he needs to be
as fresh one day as on the previ.
vious day. He must acknowledge
the fact that ne cannot sit up late
and rise early, and get this amount
of sleep. There is q right mathe-
NAUTICAL obstacle to the accom-
plishment of such o feat. If he
needs seven hours sleep--as many
young men door eight hours,
as more young men do-he can.
not get them between l o'clock
and o'clock in the morning. If
he insists on late hours, he must
neglect either his sleep at night
or his business in the morning.
Nearly every young man has suf-
ficient mathematical acuteness at
z A. NJ, 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 "joIly good time and
his bed. One very frequent mis-
take is that the lost sleep can be
made up. In the first place, what
ever a young man may intend to
do, he very seldom actually tries
to make up for lost sleep. Ii no
needs eight hours sleep, and gets
but five, he usually makes up the
lost three by sleeping about one
hour longer than usual the next
night. Or perhaps he depends
on Sunday for balancing thewhOle
week, and by three hours hours
extra sleep makes up for ten hours
lost. In the second place, one
hour of regular sleep is worth, for
purposes Of recuperation, at least
two hours of snake up" slumber'
There is practically no such thing
as making up lostsleep.- Selected.

his spectacles, and, SO far as can be

him. The trial of the indictments
