THE EARLY RISING NUIsANoE.-We do not
desire to be regarded as one who sets bad
example for the rising generation, nor do we
fully endorse the sentiment Of John g. SAKE,
that the reason Thomson wrote 80 charmIngly
about the seasons was because he did it at 10
A. M.," while lying in bed; but We freely ad-
NIT that the following facts, as told by the Sat-
urday Review, meet our cordial support, and
we are fully convinced Of their correctness,
Franklin "to the contrary Notwithstanding :"
or course to rise early is virtue OF the
highest quality, if you want to catch the hrst
railway tram, or il you want to get through q

ness of the day. But who does not know
creature Of the ascetic sort, who will tell you
at nine o'clock, with inviucible pharisaism that
he has been up ever since six, has had his
breakfast ever 30 long ago, and that he canpot
endure to lie in bed after sunrise? You ask
him what be has been dong with the three
hours which his heroic fortitude has thus
given him. The chances are that he has been
doing nothing, except contemplating, in Brah-
mimic fashion, the beauties Of hls own perfec-
ton and comparing them with the miserable
weakness OF mon who lie abed until seven or
eight o'clock, because they know that there ls
still hours enough in the solid day to use up al
their energies. On the whole, perhaps, aman

Don PIatt writes to the Cincinnati Commercial:
1 was greatly amused at what one OF the door,
keepers OF the gallery said to me not long since.
I remarked to him that the oolored people were
not so fond OF attending the debates OF Con-
gress as they were formerly.
"rhe weather is too fine, }" he responded, sem
tentously. -. :, -,
"Why, what has the weather to do with it p
I asked"
Everything. When it is cold and uncom-
Portable and no warm side Of wall to be had,
they flock here, for thoy have comfortable
seats and warm place without paying for it.
You come here some bitter, cold, inclement
day, and see how crowded the galaries will be
with our colored friends. They will sit and
sleep and snore here all day, like black snakes
in the SUN ofsprng."
