DIAGoNALLY.

1t was a dark, cheerless winter
morning. Snow was on the ground,
hoar-frost on the window panes. l
was awakened by dull, ominous
presage of something pressing on
my congested brain. Ny hip bath
stared me in the face. l shuddered
but it must be done. l crept out
of bed, and paused irresolute. 1t
was bitterly cold! The presage was
still there. Suddenly l rushed to
the fireplace, snatched up the mas
sive poker, few back to the bath,
and, with one mighty blow, dashed
the solid ice into a million of frag-
ments.
Then = then = (oh, reader!) Il
plunged in.
The majesty Of the shock obliter-
ated consciousness. For the tril-
lionth Of a second / was dead-dead
to all save the presage-which lew
cred upon the troubled bosom ofmy
oblivion in manner peculiar to such
visiLations. Then-mercy!-I was
violently dismembered, and fraction
ally impelled, with a frightful veloc-
ity, along rigid diagonal line,
stretched from the uttermost confines
of conception to-to-(be still my
painting soulD-to
GUBMUH!
found myself on a low messy
bank, looking helplessly upon my
fragments. My head, body legs and
arms were lying around in pictur-
'esque confusion. Still, strange to
say, I felt no pain. The presage was
gone, and a peaceful, uninquiring
calm had settled on my head. Nor
did my other portions manifest any
inconvenience.
I was but mortal, however; and,
after we had remained like this for a
few minutes, my brain began to ex-
|perience monotony, and conceived
an earnest desire for a new excite
ment.
On that instant we all few into
space!
1 mysteriously understood from
this that l ought to wish the other
way. l did so, and presto-we all
flew together again! l was an in
tergal man once more.
1 rose, shook myself, spoke few
words aloud Ito guard against
dreams J, and took long, diserlmin-
Iating look around me.
I was in beautiful meadow, with
all the poetical appurtances, and
broad, shining river running past me
into the illimitable perspective.
There were several little points
about this landscape
WHICH STRUCK ME AS PECULIAR.
I noticed that the trees grew with
their roots in the air, and their foli-
age (if there was any underground.
There was an immense variety of.
charming flowers imbedded in the
ground, with their closely ramified
stalks sticking out. The river ran
five feet above its banks; SO thai
when 1 stood by its edge, the water
was as high as my neck; and by
Istooping a little / could see the fish
swimming about; still it did not ov-
ertiow. 1 say, these things struck
me as being rather odd at first; but
it is astonishing how quickly one
gets used to remarkable sights!
walked about the meadow for
some time, and amused myself with
digging up the various sorts Of fruit
which l saw peeping out of the
ground. The apples were especial
! ly juicy.
Now, / was always fond of this
fruit; and, with such abundance as
I saw around, l could not help in
dulging rather freely. I had eaten
five large, red, luscious fellows, and

How LONG SHALL We SLEEP ?-The fact
is that as long as life becomes concentrated, ,and
its pursuits more eager, short sleep and early
rising become impossible. We take more
sleep than our ancestors; we take more because
We want more. Six hours's sleep will do very
we'll for plowmau or bricklayer, or any
other man who has no exhaustion but that pro-
duced by manual labor, and the sooner he
takes it after his labor is over the better. But
for man whose labor is mental, the stress of
work is on his brain and nervous system, and
for him who is tired in the evening with day
ofmental application neither early to bed nor
early to rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level of repose. The longer the
interval between the active use of the brain and
his retirement to bed, the better his chance for
sleep and relreshment. To him an hour after
midnight is probably as good as two hours be-
fore it, and even then his sleep will not SO com
pletely and quickly restore him as it will his
ueighbor who is physically tired. He must not
ouly 20 to bed later, but lie longer. His best
sleep probably lies in the early morning hours,
When all the nervous excite ment has passed
away, and he is in absolute rest Science Of
Health.

RUST IN WHEAT An old and very intei-
gent farmer OF Rockingham county, who has
paid great deal of attention to everything re-
iatiug to his profession, has given US the follow
ing Information as to the origin Of that dread of
the husbandmen, rust in wheat. He says there are
two kinds ofrust, the red rust and the black rust.
The red rust is not injurious TO the wheat, and
is always caused by showers of rain and sun-
shine. The black rust, however, is very ipju-
rious and is caused by the fall of the honey
dew followed by subsequent rains, But for
the rain the honey dow would not be so harm
tul; but the immediately succeeding rains make
the black rust very hurtful. Our informant
says, in support of this part of his theory. that
last year there was no honey dew and the wheat
was entirely free from black rust. The honey
bees, however, were the sufferers, because ofthe
absence Of the honey dew; for the friend who
gave Us this isinformation states that be lost four
stands ofbees in consequence ofthe absence of
the honey dew, and one of his neighbors also lost
an equal number of stands of bees. .-Rocktng.

TIC. Fl. Vandertord, editor of the Harris.
ouburg, Va, Old Commonwealth, and q. G.
Dandridge, chief engineer Of the Washington,
Cincinnati and St. Louis Narrow Gauge Rail
road, have recently examined the Dora Coal
Mines, situated nineteen miles southwest of
Harrisouburg, on the line Of the Washington,
Cincinnati aud St. Louis Railroad. These
mines were worked during the war, but since
that time have passed out of notice. G. q.
Dauridge has furnished the Commonwealth
with report OF the investigation, which says
that there are three veins Of good anthracite
coal, the lower of which was six feet of work
able coal, with ouly a parting of four inches OF
slate, which will detract but little from the
marketable value. The other two veins vary
t1om three to five feet, and are little higher
up on the mountain. Hematite and copper
ore are found just across North river, one
fourth OF mile distant, 10 large quantities.
