Several years ago, says Halls Journal
Of Health, it was related in these pages
that fine looking old man, who had re-
tired from business many years before
with large fortune, declared to the
writer that he never slept more than two
or three hours during the night, and Of
ten not so much, and that he offered to
give half his fortune, or to begin the
world anew, without dollar, he could
only sleep as well as when he was a
young man. Shortly after, he had stol-
en- from him something over six hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; the efforts
made to obtain some clew of the robbers
extending over some months, requiring
a great deal of personal exertion, men
tai and physical, SO acted upon mind and
body, that he began to sleep as well as
anybody, especially when he had sue
ceeded in getting back his money, with
the exception of the fraction of the hum
dred thousand.
To-day, man Of wealth and promi-
nence said, on his son being inquired for
fne-looking young man, of six feet,
about twenty-five, free from all the vices
of the times. and creditable member Of

however miserable such must be ; aud
yet the day-laborer envies the rich man

much as the rich man envies their sleep

AMBROSE HENDERSON.

AN INDIAN RoMANCE.-Grace Green
wood writes as follows AT the Land
Office, the other day, Mr.. Wilson, the
Commissioner, who has collected a re-
markably curious and valuable cabinet
and museum, showed us singular tro-
ply Of Indian warfare--a headdress of
the most frightful and diabolical de-
scription. 1t was composed of buffalo
horns and skin, adorned with wampum
and tinsel, and long wild tufts of bufa-
10 hair. Depending from it was tail Of
inordinate lengths also tinseled and tuft-
ed, with small sleigh bells running all
the way down it. This unique accout-
rement was once the property of Tall
Bull, Cheyenne chief, who was killed
in a fight with the U. S. Fifth Cavalry
and their Pawnce auxiliaries, under
Gen. Carr, some time last summer.
When this chief, who was gignatic
savage, saw that the day was lost, he
put his wife and child on pony, and
sent them within our lines, telling them
to surrender to the whites. The Indian
woman, who was kindly received, said
that when her husband told her she must
give herself up, she urged him to 60
with her, but that he recovered his ears
with his hands to shut out her entreaties
and rushed back into the fight, which
was the last she ever saw of the lament.
ed Tall Bull. He was speedily killed,
and these are his remains. In this same
engagement, another Cheyenne woman,
young remarkably handsome. came
dashing into our ranks, with two child
ren slapped to her pony. But sne did
not come to surrender. She came like
fighting fury, armed with a long knife,
with which she struck frantically right
and left. At last, seeing herself about
to be captured, she stabbed to the heart
first one child, then the other, then her.
self, and so perished-a Medea whom
there is no Eucipides to immortalize.

What's the Reason?

Take twenty boys of sixteen, in our or
any other town in the State, and let them
60 to work, three or four in a dry goods
store, boot and shoe establishments, and
printing offices. In ten years they will
have become men OF twenty-six, and the
majority of them will then be about as
far along in the business as they ever
will be. One or two only in each of the
above branches, will be established in
business for themselves or connected with
some firm doing good business, and
the rest will be barely getting a living
and growing about their poor luck
Now we assert that there is good reason
for their poor success, and that " luck"
has but little if anything to do with it.
If we take the trouble to ascertain the
real facts in their several cases, we shall
find that those young men who became
masters in their trades, or leading men
in their pursuits, were not afraid to work
and were determined to succeed. They
look beyond day and week. They made
themselves useful and valuable to their
employers by being always faithful, re-
liable and willing to do what they could
for the interest of those for whom they
worked. When press of business came
they were ready and willing to work ex-
ira hours, and without sulkingor grumb-
ling, we'll knowing that business must be
attended to when it came, and there were
plenty of dull times during the year,
which would more than counterbalance
any extra briskness of the busy season.
To sum it all up these young men iden-
tilted themselves with the establishments
where they were employed-because USE
full to their employers, in fact, fixtures,
who could be i'll spared, and in due couse
of time, having gained experience, were
invited to take hand with the already
established house, or else boldly struck
out for themselves.
Here, then, is the lesson, which is, if
you wish to become successful masters,
learn first to become faithful servants.

The Emancipated slaves Gratitude.

Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi, re-
Gently appointed w. G.. Henderson to
ljudgeship. In sending his name to the
Senate, he said he had selected him from
several equally well qualified, solely on
account Of a letter, written TO him by a
former slave of Mr.. Henderson. The
Governor added that he could not re-
frain from saying, on an occasion so
touching to every man of the South,

THE Work THAT KILLED DICKENS.
A London correspondent Of the Edin-
burg Scotsman says: Since his sudden
seizure in the midst of his readings last
year, Mr.. Dickens has never been the
same man. After little while he be-
gan to go about as before, fitted to and
fro in his ardent, restless way, took long
walks after his favorite fashion. starting
on the whim Of themoment, at any hour
for anywhere, and resumed his writing
and other labors, but not with the same
hghtness and vivacity as before. Though
study walker, there had always been
something Of a limp in his gait, and this
now became more marked. He had more
need of his stick, and stopped percepti-
bly,. He grew sooner wearied, both in
walking and in work, and complained at
times Of a strange supineness of mind
and labored slowness with the pen. From
gray he became all at once white, just as
Mr.. Bright did not long since. saw
him few weeks ago, just before he left
town, and his sunburned face seemed set
in snow, his beard and hair we're bleach
ed SO perfectly. Beyond question, Think
it was Edwin brood" that killed him.
He went back to work too soon. He
had had the idea of the story for some
time in his mind, l believe; but after
the first impulse of the start was off he
found the development of the incidents
and characters slow and painful. With
in the last week or SO be was planning
much of this. He seemed to make SO
little progress, and at the cost of such an
effort. Perhaps it was the hot weather,
he thought, or he was out Of sorts, and
would get into better trim by-and-by.-
But the disorder was deeper and more
fatal. Even before his illness last year,
however, he had had warnings of ex-
haustion. He suffered at times from q
terrible sleeplessness, which often drove
him forth at midnight to walk-his fa-
vorite remedy for all troubles-tili dawn.
Like Wordsworth, he belonged to the
school Of peripatetics. Much given my
self to walking at all hours, have come
across him often in his rambles, always
marching swiftly, with earnest, resolute
air, as if bound to be at some given spot
by the hour and minute, his quick, glanc-
ing eye scanning everything and every
body. In the story Of the 1.-TWO APP
prentices," which he wrote with Wilkie
Collins, he described his own restless, inn
petuous activity-laborous idleness he
called it. All this wear and tear of
writing, public readings and perpetual
movement told even on his elastic and
vigorous constitution in the end. The
American trip brought him close upon
100000; but otherwise / doubt whether
it did him much good. Altogether the
strain was to severe. Then came Ed
win brood" to put the finishing stroke
to the work.
