EATiy Rising an Ingenious Hnmbug
LET the S.n Rise First.

There is no greater delusiOn than
that which imagines early rising inn
portant for health; no greater error
Than that which places it among the
virtues. While early rising has been
sung in poetry, and advocated in pro-
verbs from time immemorial, il has
been secretly and rightfully cursed by
its unhappy victims ever since civili-
Zation conceived the idea of comfort.
But we are all so bound by the law of
custom, SO endeared to proverb or a
muSty sentiment, that our lips con-
tiHually give faint assent TO the value
OF early rising, even while we long TO
resist the tyranny which IL imposes
uDon Us. - hat a frigntful aggregate

man who practices it through life
who every day Is ushered from sleep
into th,. raE, bank, chill, dull atmo-
sphere Of early morning, and begins

breakfast eaten by candle light, or

hence, opens the day with keen dis

4 Beautiful liIcgoFy.

\ traveller who spent some time ia
Turkey relates q beautiful parable
which was told him by q dcrvish, and
which seemed even more beautiful
than Stern's celebrated figure of the
accusing spirit and recording angel
sfEvery man, s" said tie deTyish, ''h5s
two angels. one on his right shoulder
and one on his left. When he does
ANYTHING good. the angel on the right
shoulder writes II down and done for-
ever. When he dos evil, the ANGEL
on tue left writes II down, and he
waits till midnight. II before that
time the man bows hi- head and ex-
claims. Gracious AHah. have sin
ned: forgive ner' the angel rubs oat
the record: but II not, az midnight he
seals il. and the beloved angel o. the
right shoulder Teeps."

1 sad Ror,apcr Of the OneIda Disaster.

In conversation with u very intelli-
gent and accomplished lady from
Maine, . few days since, / learned the
following facts, which throw shadows
of q sad romance over the Oneida dis
aster. Commander Williams, the
highest officer oil the vessel, and one
Of the lost, was q widOwer of some
thing less than forty, and the father
of two bright little children. In May
last he contracted an engagement for
Il second marriage, which was to have
taken place very soon after the arri-
val of the Oneida in this country. /
believe ii was fixed for the middle of
April. He left the United States for
Japan in June last, and just before his
departure he was one OF a dinner party
ut which my informant and the afli-
anced bride were also present. Had
he returned safely be would have
known a fate which his brave heart
would not have met with the cool
courage that faced death, at his post
on the quarterback. Since the first
of January his two children and his
intended wife have died. When he
left Japan he had rot heard this sad
news, but supposed he was coming
home to meet them in health and
happiness. So to one, ut least, of the
gallant men who went down on the
III fated steamer, death cannot be call
