Amount Of Sleep Required.

EVERY man must sleep according to his
temperament; but eight hours is the
average. If one requires little more or
little less, he will find it out for himself
Whoever, by work, pleasure sorrow, or
any other cause, is regularly diminishing
his sleep, is destroying his life. A man
may hold out for a long time, but nature
keeps close accounts, and no man can
dodge her settlements. We have seen i'm
poverished railroads that could not keen
the track in order, nor spare the engine to
be thoroughly repaired Every year track
and equipments deteriorated. By and by
comes the crash, ard the road is a heap Of
confusion and destruction. So it is with
men. They cannot spare time to sleep
enough. They slowly run behind. Svmp-
toms OF general waste appear. Premature
wrinkles, weak eyes, depression of spirits,
failure of digestion, feebleness in the
morning, and Overwhelming melancholy: /:
these and many other signs, show a general
dilapidation. If now sudden calamity
causes an extraordinary pressure, they 90

To Make Stewed Oysters Tender.

TURN the oysters with the liquor into
convenient dish. With fork remove each
oyster to another dish, passing it as YOU
do SO through the oyster liquor, in order
to wash off any bits of shell, etc. When
all have been removed, strain the liouor
through fine sieve, which will retain the
bits and yellow crabs. Some people eat
these little crabs, but reject them from
an oyster stew as they suggest carelessness.
Put the strained liquor into the kettle with
the .quanty of water or milk you think
proper, and set to boil Add rolled cracker
and salt A little mace (only little) is
great addition, as it brings out the oyster
havor; do not put in pepper as some
guests do not like it, and the color of the
soup Is not so good. Each person can
SUIT his own taste by using either the black
or Cayenne. The clearer and whittier a
soup appears, the better it will be relished.
omit cracker in a dinner SOUP; each
guest must be supplied, however, at the
table. Keep out the oysters until all the
ingredients of the soup are added. and
until it thoroughly boils. Now add ;be
oysters. AS soon as it comes to a good
boil, the soup is ready to serve. If YOU
have very rich stew, great many oys-
ters and little soup-it may be well to put
only part of the oysters in at a time.
waiting until the first lot have had good
scald before adding the remainder. The
ldea Is TO give each oyster a good scald on
the outside surface; it cooks them suffl-
ciently and avoids the toughness that
comes from overlooking. Treated accord.
ing TO these directions the oysters in a stew
will be as tender as raw ones. 1t is very
easy to spoil oysters by OVERRIDING them

The Difference.

A VERY clear illustration of the dis.
tinctiOn between strength of will and
strength of mind was once given by a CAV
young fellow who had probably never
read page of metaphysics in his life.
This young gentleman, whose friends call.
ed him Bob for shortness, was of an ex-
ceedingly nervous temperament, and an
unusual indulgence in wine was sure to
leave him in shaky and unhappy condi-
tion. Bob had consequential acquaint.
ance named Waffles, who was gifted with
the absorbing qualities of sponge, and
who, although in the habit of drinking
much more freely than Bob was never
known TO exhibit any signs of inebriety.
One morning Wafiies called upon his
friend, whom he found seated upon the
stool OF repentance, with awet towel bound
round his head, and several empty soda
bottles by. his. side, and, shocked at the
sight he began to moralize.
Soyou We're tight. again, last night,
chr" said Waffles. "Now, why don't you
do as dor When have drunk enough
stop. You should have more strength
of mind, and initiate me-"
Strength of mind ?" snarled Bob, who,
nervous and irritable, had very little dis.
position to submit to a temperance lecture
from such a source "what the deuce has
strength of mind to do with it9 Strength
of will you mean
Wen" quoth Waftles, "what is the
difference?"
I'm tell you the difference" retorted
Bob vindictively; "brutes have no mind
a. all, but a jackass has more strength of
viii than any being that lives"

Buried Alive and Resurrected.

A LETTER in the Plattsburg Register
gives an account of tragical affair which
recently occurred at Poplar Grove, Grundy
County, Mo-
A Mr. John Andrews, a popular and
well-todo farmer in the neighborhood,
had dug a well some forty feet deep, and
had walled it up about fifteen feet, when it
was discovered that the wall was about to
cave in. Mr.. Andrews gathered ND an
armful of short boards, and went down
pole ladder fastened to the side of the
well, to lay them across the wall, so as to
prevent the dirt, as it fell, from filling up
that part of the well walled up. He had
not more than reached the bottom, as it
was thought, before the well caved in,
filling up to a few feet of the top. The
alarm was given and the neighbors
gathered, but all believing him dead, they
returned to their homes, to make arrange
ments to come the next day and dig him
out. Mrs. Andrews and two grown
daughters, and several smaller children.
refused to leave the spot, but sat on a log
near the well, crying, until late in the
evening, when, all at once, they saw Mr.
Andrews emerging from the well, covered
with clay, and coming toward theml The
children all ran, screaming into the house,
bolted the doors and fastened the win
dows, believing it to be their fathers
ghost. But Mrs Andrews ran to meet
him, screaming at the top of her voice,
Oh, joint oh, John! is that you! is
that your When she reached him she
fell fainting at his feet.
1t seems that when he got to the bottom
of the we'll he looked up and saw the top
giving way, and believing he had not time
to make his escape, he slipped under the
boards, which he had laid across the well,
when the whole thing fell in upon him.
All hope, at first, gave way, and he was
about TO let himself drop into the water
below, and end at once his miserable feel
ings. But, feeling above, he found the
clay easily crumbled, and hope revived.
The pole ladder, it seems, was still stand
