A PILLOW FOR THE SLEEPLEsS.-A friend
once told me, says Rev. II. Woodward, that,
among other symptoms of high nervous excite
ment, he has been painfully harassed for the
want of sleep. To such degree had this pro-
ceeded, that if, in the course of the day, any
occasion led him to his bed-chamber, the sight
of his bed made him shudder at the idea of the
wretched and restless hours he had to pass up
on it.
In this case, it was recommended to him to
endeavor, when he lay down at night to fix his
mind on something at the same time vast and
simple-such as the wide ocean, or the cloud
less vault of heaven; that the little hurried
and disturbed images that fitted before his
mind might be charmed away, or hushed to
rest by the calming influences of one absorbing
thought
Though not at all religious man at the time,
this advice suggested to his mind, that Ii an
object, at once vast and simple, was to be Sc
lected for meditation, no one could serve his
purpose to we'll as the thought of God. He re-
solved to make the trial. and think of Him.
The result exceeded his most sanguine hopes !;
in thinking of God he fell asleep. Night after
night he resorted to the same expedient. The
process became delightful; 50 much SO, that
he used to long for the usual hour for retiring,
that he might fall asleep, as he termed it, in
God. What began as a mere physical opera
ton, grew, by imperceptble degrees, into a
gracious influence. The same God who was
his repose by night was in all his thoughts by
day; and, at the time this person spoke to me,
God, as revealed in the gospel of His Son, was
call his salvation, and all his DESIRE" So va
rious are the means and inscrutable are the
WAYS by which God can "fetch home the BAN

A BIG WHITE MOUNTAIN HARE-not
hare from the White Mountains, but
white hare from the bald pate of the
Sierras, hung in Frisbie's window last
evening. We guessed il weighed at least
dozen pounds. When we ventured
that guess a romantic fellow citizen,
hard by, divulssd, semi confidentiaily
that he once shot one that weighed
sixteen pounds. We think he was do
ing by word Of mouth what he would
have been doing by his pen if he had
been writing novel. The reason for
our thinking so is in this fact, namely:
We went into Frisbies and asked
how much that big rabbit weighed.
six pounds and II half says the man
at the wheel. What" says We, think
ing he must have said sixteen. six
and a-haif pounds, repeated he. Then
we suggested re-weighing the beast. and
We did re-weish him-and he weighed
six pounds and three quarters,
and not another blessed ounce.
Whence we think our nei2hbor
was eking out his rabbit with morsei
OF the stuffing Of romance. But these
Oh trappers uW spin yarn. Guess it
WIS l a Welch rabbit he shot.
