Il OF THE ANTEDrLUvIANs.-It must
have been a pleasant thing to be an
Antediluvi,n, one Of the men who
lived five hundred and sixty and two
years, and begot somebody. Antedi-
luvian life had its advantages. With
a life of nine hundred and sixty-nine
years. before him, n,passssreould &C
complish much. He could by personal
observation settle the oft-disputed
assertion that the polccat lives for
two hundred years-he could, if a
Burns or Shakespeare, celebrate his
own centeunary-he could be his own
oldest inhabitant, and could gaze far
along the vista Of nine hundred years
of early green peas and spring chick
ems, When time was meted by years,
and, instead of eight-day clocks, they
had eighty. year chronometcrs, a man
could enjoy the luxury of lying in
bed Till September, or Of going on a
three years drunk. When bidding
farewell 10 his family, he might say
II am just going over to Methuse-
lahs for twenty years-dont wait
lunch And the hoary grandsire of ten
centuries nighttell his toddling grand
son to e out to play until 1886, but
he must return then, and not keep
his parents sitting up for him. Life
insurance would be cheap, and the
rate of interest, when men gave notes
for four hundred years, renewable
for three hundred more, must have
been accommodatinsly low.

due TO the Company and my late Part

the Company, or in its present manage

SLEEp.-How many persons are
there that go to bed at a reasonable
hour? Many will sit up reading or
conversing until twelve. one, or even
two o'clock at night. This is keptup,
and finally becomes a habit, and when
they do retire, cannot sleep. They
gradually lose flesh, become dyspeptic
and debilitated being unable to &C.
count for this emaciation, they con-
suit a physician. Certain medicines
are prescribed and still the difficulty
exists. The medical adviser has
probably neglected to interrogate his
patient as to his habits, and he, too, is
at. a loss to understand why his rene
dial agents have not the proper salu-
tary effect. The patient now changes
physicians, and so he continues, until
from exhaustion, heis compelled to re-
main in bed, and nature regains her
grand recuperative powers of sleep,
and the patient comparatively recov-
ers for few months, when, if tl1
same habit is continued, he relapses
into his former condition. Many per-
sons will tell you they cannot sleep if
they go to bed at nine or ten o'clock
in the evening and this is true, when
the nervous svsem has been abused /;
but when persons retire at a seasona-
bic hour, they.will soon fall asleep,
and one hours sleep, previous to
twelve o'clock at night, will do the
system more coed than three hours
after that time. Sitting up late at
night impairs The eyes and destroys
the complexion, which: adds much
misery to the life of young ladies.
Young mensh,r!l bearin mind, when
they inAics thir society on the fair sex
till late ho,r Of night, that they
can leave wien they feel inclined,
but their iiosesa is compelled to en-
tertain tin during their visit

The Best. Society,"

{" No company or good company, > >
was motto given by a distinguished
man to all mis- young friendsa 1t was
a motto he had always endeavored to
follow as far as in his power, and it
was very wise one. The directions
of the Bible are many withiregard to
evil company, and all through it we
are taught to shun such society, lest
we get a snare to our souls,
Another of high position in the
world makes it rule to- associate
with high-mine Il. intelligent men,
rather than with fashionable idlers J;
and he said he had derived more in
tellectual Improvement from them
than from all the books he ever read.
Sir Foxwell Buxton often spoke OF
the great benefits he had derived
from his visit to the Gurney family.
Their words stimulated. him to make
the most Of his powers. Z" It has
given color to my whole life," he
said. Speaking of his success at the
University, he remarked 81 can
ascribe it to nothing but my visits to
this family, where l caught the in
fection of self-improyement.'
Surely, if our visits have such an
influence upon our life, it should be
matter of serious Importance to US in
what families we allow ourselves to
be intimate. Boys and girls form at
tachments very easily, andoften with
little forethopght. In.;this, as all
things else, you should mot fail to
take advice Of those who are older
and wiser, and never, never choose
for a friend one against. whom you
have been warned Dythose who dear
ly love you
There are people whose very pres
ence seems to lift you uptinto bet
ter, higher atmosphere. Choose such
associates whenever it's in your
power, and the more you can live in
their society, the better for both mind
and heart. He that wallSeth with
wise men shall be wise; but COM
panion Of fools shall be destroyed.

BosToS, Aug. 27.-The appalling railroad
accident at Revere last night has caused in
tense excitement to-day. Large crowds visit
ed the scene Of the disaster.
The railroad officials have cleared away
the debris and ruins, and the road is in run
mig order again.
At the time Of the collision the accoaoda-
ton train for Beverly, had its red signal
lights behind and regular signal hoisted at
its masthead Of the signal post for the ex-
press train to hold up, which it did at Ever
cit, but subsequently, preceded, and was
under full Roadway when near Revere
station, the engineer evidently not being
aware of the proximity of the Beverly train
until perhaps within sixty rods. He then
whistled "down brakes" but not soon
enough TO avert the calamity. Some Of the
passengers in the rear of the accommodation
train heard the omninous whistle, but too late
10 escape.
