How TO SLEEr.-With regard to sleep, the
recumbent position has obviously very much
to do with it. Undoubtedly, sleep may occur
in sitting posture, and even while standing
but these cases are exceptional. 1t is certain,
ALSO that sleep in bed, rs rule, is sounder
with low pillow than with a high one. If,
then, there be state Of wakefulness at night,
the head should be kept low =; if on the con-
traIy sleepiness, the head should be kept
high. The degree of sleep and the amount
of it may be regulated by simply taking care
that the head is in the right position. If pro-
longed redundancy is necessary part of the
treatment, the tendency to sleep too much
during the day, and too little at night, may
thus be corrected. BY raising the head in the
daytime, the patient remains awake sufficient
~ to be able to sleep at night; by depressing
the head at bedtime, the conditions are favor
able to sleep during the night ; and as rule,
sleep is to be conciliated in this way without
the help of narcotics.--Dr. Radcliffe.

A CLEnGyMaN's VIEW OF THE PANIC
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage took walk in
Wall street, and was much amazed at the
panic. How did it strike his mind? In the
following words, which are his own: "Wc
bethought ourselves why there was not a
panic in another direction. So many failures
every day for eternity, SO many heavenly
treasures lost, the government bonds of heaven
thrown away on the street. We wonder that
men do not get excited about their eternal pos
sessions, and that they do notmake " a run !"
on the bank of heaven. Oh men immortal
What is the matter with you? What will be-
come of you when you are dead? Whose sign
viii then be run up on your store, who will
drive your fine horses?
Better settle up with God. y y
Merchants, bankers, artisans, and farmers
look out that you do not lose heaven That
will be worse than the loss of Northern
Pacific bonds. That will be a dcfalcation for
eternity

About Hens.

A LEXINGTON (Mass.) owner of hens no.
tced that one of them had an immense
crop, and, producing sharp knife, made
an lnclSlOn and drew forth a dish-Cloth
That's just like hen. 1t will eat any
thing 1t can swallow, and swallow any
thing it can get hold of. 1t would swal-
low fence If it was loose, and then step
around back of the house to see if dinner
was ready. 1t is with hens as with
story papers s. everything is in their
necks.
This is the season when every owner of
hens is engaged in endeavoring to sun
press the maternal inst nets in one or
more Of them. The man comes home to
supper, and the wife observes, THAT val
Ter pullet is on the nest again. Then the
man goes out to the coop, and SAYS, "What
IN thunder Is the matter with the beast,
anyway" and crawls in under the roost
10 the nest, and reaches it and brings out
handful OF feathers. Then the hen
screams and starts for the door. and the
other mems set up howl, and likewise de
part Tor that aperture, and the man-near-
ly choked by feathers and blinded nv
'dust-falls over the water trough and
skins his ankles on the boxes, and finally
bursts out into the yard, with a piece of
Drlck IN one hand and goes after that vel
low pullet, with his face as red as a lob
ster and his back curiously wrought with
mosaics from the floor of that coop. When
he catches the hen he cuffs it over the
head few times to show it how he feels,
then he jams it under barrel, and pours
pail OF water through the cracks, and
leaves 1t there till morning, when it is re-
leased, and the same operation gone over
again IN the evening-Daabury Neus.

THE Dixon Telegraph relates the follow
inc strange instance of forewarning in
connection with the recent bridge calamity
in that city: About two weeks before the
fall of the bridge, and, probably, about
the time that structure was, one Sabbath,
crowded with people Witnessing scene
of baptism, Mrs. F. Forsythe, of this city,
had dream in which the fall of the
bridge was foreshadowed. The dream
was very vivid, creating q deep impress
sion anon her mind from which now she
is much affected The falling of the
bridge in her dream and as it afterward
actually happened were almost identical.
She distinctly remembers that the last face
she saw in that vision was that Of one of
the ladies who did go down and lost her
life. Mrs. Forsythe repeated her dream
to several of her neighbors before the
fatal accident, so deep was the impression
it left upon her mind. We give only
these brief facts, which furnish much
food for thought.

TO a RAIN-DROP.

HAIL, Jewell pendant on the grassy blade,
Now dimIy seen amid q transient shade,
Anon Respondent. like bridal maid,
Wed by the wind
Thou tremblest at his kisses half afraid
And half inclinedl
How many hues of beauty charm thy facet
For there successive rays each other chase;
The ruby now, the sapphire next we trace;
The ehrysOlite
Supplants the emerald rich in vernal grace,
And dear to sightl
O fairy creaturei whittier hast thou come!
Was the Atlantic once thy stormy home!
Or didst thou through the mild PACING roam
'Mong coral isles,
And thence ascend to the ethereal dome
With sanity smiles!
Hast thou. in clouds of richest colors blended,
ON rising suns and setting suns attended!
Or hast thou shone in bars OF beauty splendid
In the rainbow's robe?
Or hast thou in a misty chariot wendell
Around our globe?
Alas! thou answerest not, thou brilliant mute;
Thou shinest on in silence absolute;
The wanderings Of thy restless silver foot
Thou Canst not tell;
And soon thou shall resume thy pilgrims route
Nor sigh FAREWELL
