the denizen of a town to be al
home in the country, unless he
had a country residence of his
own? Your terrapin, and all
the shelly family, enjoy a great
advantage in being able to car
ry their houses on their backs.
They are at home everywhere.
But we humans are not so bless
ed. A prejudice in favor of
feather beds prevails in some
districts. Now, feather beds
are not refrigerunt. On the
contrary, being non-conductors
Of caloric, they tend greatly to
keep one in a state Of St. Law
renee martyrdom when the
quicksilver becomes rampant.
We have authentic evidence
to show what Jobs comforter
was composed of, but think it
must have been linned with feath-
ers, and applied by way of
poultice to his irritated skin in
the dog-days. On a centain oc-
casion, when the weather was
so very warm that GOODNESS APP
peared to be a wild chimera, we
were introduced at roadside
tavern about thirty miles from
Fayetteville, to large feather
bed, two quilts and a blanket, as
our companions for the night.
Being very tired, we plunged in
to the down, and slept ; but
about the solemn hour of mid
night we woke up gasping, just
as bird gasps in its feather
jacket at high noon. We
thought at first that bed-tick
would have been our dcath-tick /;
but with a desperate effort we
emerged from our corch, and
with the aid of an eXtemporane-
Gus douche from a broken water
jug, succeeded IN "equalising
the circulation" Forthe remain
der Of the night we made plank
our lodging, and dreamed of the
sufocation by feathers Of two
youngprincesin the Tower. The
next morning we lodged a COM
plaintagainst the bed. The lady
ofthe house was indignant. She
had deprived herself Of the ar
tlcle and actually slept ona mat
rass on purpose to accommodate
us. We apologized for not
being a salamander, and were
as savage. Jock
eys who wish to ride feather
weight, and have prejudices a.
gainst being sweated in manure
heaps, are respectfully recon-
to try that feather bed.
We wish to do the lady a service,
for she had a warm heart-as
who can fail to have who sleeps
in a down bed in August: Ev-
cry man has his peculiar views
in relation to beds. "Take up
your bed and walk" says the
scripture, from which we infer
that everybody under the gospel
dispensation, in its original pur-
ity, carried his own mattrass,-
we say mattrass, because it is
not to be supposed that rational
beings feathered their nest in a
land as near the equator asSyria.
We commend the scriptural pre-
cept to all citizens travelling.
