Sleep and Dreams.

While the functions of the tissues are
in full activity, says Professor Humph.
rey, F. r. S., a slight decoration of struc-
ture takes place, which, affecting the
voluntary systematic muscles and the
hemispheres of the brain-causes the
sense of firing, and necessitates period
OF rest for the restoration of the tissue to
its former condition.
In the case of the muscles. this rest is
provided for by periods, quickly alter
mating periods of action and cessation Of
action. But in the case of the brain.
the actions upon which consciousness,
volition, ETC., depend, cannot thus be free
ly suspended. Their continuance is
needed for the safety of the body during
long periods, through the whole day, for
instance; and longer periods are there
fore required for repair. These are the
periods of sleep.
vi the nervous system, it is the upper
region of the brain which ministers to
consciousness and volition, the intellect.
ual operations, etc. And the functions
OF these regions not only can be long
suspended without interfering with the
action of the lower parts of the brain.
which are more Immediately necessary
to life, but they are very easily suspend
ed-slight causes, such as jar or a
shock, or an alteration In the blood cur

OF these parts and deprive the person of
consciousness.
The spontaneous stoppage of their ac-
ton, consequent on the slight detoria-
tion of their structure from the continu-
ance of their functions during the day.
IL the proximate cause of sleep during
the night and the periodic recurrence
OF sleep is in accordance with the peri
odicity observed in several of the nutri-
tive functions, and indeed witnessed in
many of the other operations of nature

hunger perpetually for new ideas. They
will learn with pleasure from the lips Of
their parents what they deem it drudgery
to study in books and even if they have
the misfortune to be deprived of many
educational advantages, they will grow
up intelligent if they enjoy in childhood
the privilege of listening daily to the
conversation of intelligent people. We
sometimes see parents, who are the life
of every company they enter, dull, ST.
lent and uninteresting at home among
their children. If they have not men,
tai activity and mental stores sufficient
for both, let them first use what they
have for their own household. A silent
house is dull place for young people, a
place from which they will escape if
they can. How much useful informa-
ton, on the other hand, is often given in
pleasant conversation, and what uncon-
| scious, but excellent mental training in
lively social argument. Cultivate, to
the utmost, all the graces of home con-

transition period is sometimes prolonged
and stages are observable.
The first thing that occurs is the low
ering or cessation of that control over
the mental processes which is the high
est of our powers, the one requiring the
greatest effort and the most easily lost.
In this condition, the thoughts ramble
unchecked, chase one another confusedly
over the mental field, and give rise to
all sorts of incongruities of the imagin-
alton.
AT the same time, being unrestrained,
they are excited, and evince efforts OF
memory, and even of combination which
in the regular state of wakefulness, they
are quite incapable Of
In this way the images of persons and
places, of events and items of knowledge,
long forgotten in the ordinary state, are
recalled with distinctness, and we fancy
that new information has been acquired
when it is only forgotten facts that are
recalled.
Some psychologists conceive that
dreaming depends upon the inequality
in the condition of different parts of the
brain some being excited or wakeful
while others are quiescent or asleep
from this DIR. Humphrey dissents. He
rather takes the view that all parts OF
the cerebral hemispheres combine in
each of the efforts of control, conscious
ness, memory, and other mental acts, that
all suffer alike from these effects, alike
need the restoring changes which take
place in sleep, and together parri passu,
pass through the stages on the way to
and from sleep, in which dreaming, sleep
walking, ETC., occur.

" A GREELEY HATS.s

The celebrated optimist of the Til
6uRe was always known as an editor,
one of the leading professions, and he
was always no less distinguished by his
white hat, a style which will now be all
the rag in Memphis, at least during
the summer. The celebrated Wheaton
has already a select lot of those tiles in
his store. Every gentleman who wishes
to be in the style, and in the fashion,
must take a look in at Wheaton's and
select a hat suitable to his manner of
face, size of his head, his height and
all that sort of thing. Horace Greeley
hats will be all the rage this summer.
Whoever would not be suspected Of en-
tertaining Grant proclivities will have
to mount a white hat. See Wheaton at

take pleasure in submitting the follow

proprietor Of "Watson's Conservatory
Of Music,n in New York, addressed to
the manufacturers of the pianos which
they have fOl sale:
GENTLEMEN: Having heard and read
a good deal about the Mathushek Pianos,
/ came to the conclusion that where
there was so much smoke there must
surely be some fire.
Friends and strangers were continually
asking me what / thought of the Colibri
Pianos. l finally determined TO make a
thorough investigation of their peculiar
merits. ! must admit that l had serious
misgivings as to the result, as | had
been taught TO believe with many other
musicians, that only such firms as
Chickering, Stenway, and a few Others,
were really capable of manufacturing
first-class pianos. a short time pre-
vious TO my recent visit to Norway, with
my friend Ole Bull, | performed at a
concert in the Everett Rooms. y niece
Of mine Miss Annie 4. WatsOn( was
the piano sOlOist, and a few DAYS pre-
NAoRo ~ Aht NUAtNAAf We NNA9 naturally
inquired what piano would be used upon
the occasion; we o o ascertained that
One of your Orchestral Pianos had been
selected; now, thought /, this will afford
me an excellent opportunity to test the
very piano / have 50 long desired to
hear.
The concert opened with ROssini's
beautiful overture to "Semiramide,n
arranged for piano and violin. As our
had taken place atmy music
rooms, 1 had not heard "A sound from
your piano until the evening of the con-
cert.
Before the overture was finished, Ihad
decided that a great revolution had been
effected in pianO-making-the beauti-
full tome and wonderful equality through
out its whole compass captivated me at
once; and although the Everett Rooms
are exceedingly deficient in their con-
struction, in point of musical acoustics,
several prominent musical artists pres
ent assured me that the most delicate
passages executed upon your instrument
were perfectly distinct in every part of
the hall. Since the date of this concert
the AdthVsheE has been mn tdUOrite.
