Sleep.

There is no fact more clearly estab-
lished in the physiology of man than
this, that the brain expends its energies
and itself during the hours cf wakeful-
ness, and that these are recuperated du-
ring sleep; if the recuperation does not
equal the expenditure, the brain withers
this is insanity.
Thus it is that, in early English his
tory, persons who were condemned to
death by being prevented from sleeping
always died raving maniacs; thus it is,
also, that those who are starved to death
become insane,-the brain is not nour-
ished, and they cannot sleep, The prac-
tical inferences are these:
First, Those who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep.
Second, That time saved from neces-
sary sleep is iufalliably destructive to
mind, body and estate.
Third, Give yourself, your children
your servants,-g all that are under
you,-the fullest amount of sleep they
will take, by compelling them to go to
bed at some regular early hour, and tc
rise in the morning the moment they
awake; and, within fortnight, nature
with almost the regularity of the rising
sun, will unloose the bonds of sleep the
moment enough repose has been secured
for the wants of the system.
This is the only safe aud sufficient
rule; and as to the question how much
sleep any one requires, each must be q
rule for himself, great Nature will new.
er fail to write it out to the observer un.
der the regulations Just given.-Spicer.

KEEPING PoULTRY IN ORCHARDS
Some farmers make it practice to keeI
their poultry in their orchards from
early in the spring until cold weather
sets in; and they find that it pays them
for SO doing. A picket fence should be
built around the orchard, high enough
to prevent their flying over, with suit.
able house or shed in one corner of the
yard to shelter them at night. Thus
situated the poultry will thrive and pros
per, keeping themselves in good condi.
ton, and the increase in eggs will be
greatly augmented, and their usefulness
and value enhanced tc their owners al
least, ON account of the THOUSAND my.
riads of insects and worms which they
naturally destroy, and which will more
than repay the cost and labor of build
ing the fence. By keeping them en-
closed in this manner, large number of
fowls may be retained in an orchard ;
and the continual scratching which is
done by them will prove advantageous
both to the soil and trees themselves.

Good Temper.

Good temper is the sunshine of the
domestic circle, and must be priced and
cultivated accordingly. Fretfulness,
peevishness, sullenness. bitterness and
anger must be viewed as 80 many Kissing
snakes, and driven from every hearth
that claims the distinction of being hap
py. When tempted to give way to any
i'll feelings, self restraint must be exer-
cised and mutual forbearsnce shown.
Much will be accomplished by carrying
out the determination that both shall
never lose their temper at the same time.
the one bringing water where the 9TH
er brings fire. Let them treat each
others feelings it has been well said,
" with lenity, and learn to be, as occa-
sion serves, blind, deaf and dumb, ,--es-
pecially dumb. Not sullenly dumb, but
serenely dumb" A gentle contrast, a
well-arranged diversity, gives change
to married life. 1t is the necessary con-
dition, however, of such diversity that
the parties should view things occasion
ally from different point of view, and
wisdom will be required, therefore, by
mutual concessions, gentleness. good-hu-
NOR and forbearance, to prevent such
diversities of taste or opinion becoming
the source of quarrel, irritation, or, to
use a phrase of modern coinage, "nag-
gle." A clergyman who mad tied the
marriage knot for many a couple, was
careful always to VIII sper to the bride as
his parting counsel, BE sure never to
have the last word, an advice which
is excellent, but which is surpassed by
the recommendation that neither party
should take the first one.

Honor Your Business.

1t is good sign when a man is proud
of his calling. Yet tnothing is more CON-
mon than to hear men finding fault con-
stantly with their particular business,
aud deeming themselves unfortunate be-
cause fastened TO it by the necessity of
gaining livelihood. In this spirit men
fret, and laboriously destroy all their
c,mfort in their WORK; or they change
their business, and 60 on miserably shift
ing from one thing to another, till the
grave or the poor house gives them
fast grip. But while occasionally man
fails in life because ne is not in the place
fitted for his peculiar talent, it happens
ten times oftner that failure results from
neglect and even contempt of an honest
business. A man should put his heart
into everything that he does. There is
not profession that has not its peculiar
cares and vexations. No man will es-
cape annoyance by changing business
No mechanical business is altogether
agreeable. Commerce, in its endless va
rieties, is affected, like all other human
pursuits, with trials and unwelcome
duties and spirit-tryipg necessities. 1t is
the very wantonness of folly for man
to search out the frets and burdens of
his calling, and give his mind every day
to consideration of them. They be-
long to human lie. They areinevitable.
Brooding, then, only gives them strength.
On the other hand, man has power
given him to shed beauty and pleasure
upon the homliest toll, if he is wise.
Let man adopt his business and identi-
fly it with life, and cover it with pleas
ant associations for God has given us
Imagination not alone to make some
poets, but TO enable all men to beautify
homely things. Heart varnish will
cover up innumerable evil and defects.
Look at the good things. Accept your
lot as a man does piece of rugged
ground, and begin to get out the rocks
and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil,
to enrich and plant it. There is some-
thing in the mo forbidding avocation
around which man may twine pleasant
fancies, out of which he may develop an
honest pride.

A SAUoY NoTE.-A young man from
the States was the master of a newly es-
tablished school in city consisting Of
about score of houses, or TO use the
common name, log cabins, in the far, far
West. The master had so small linn BIS
that they were often callei microscop
ic members" The people also said he
ought to be arrested on account of hav-
ing no visible means of support, &c.
AT first, some two or three of the citi-
zens were against the master and public
instruction in the city. One of these,
whom the master thought had been won
over upon his side, sent by his boy the
following note, devoid of punctuation
and the capitals used Unfortunately,
to the pedagogue: eur Ass you are a
man of no lege wish to intur my bowie
in your Skull"
The schoolmaster dismissed the boy,
and, Immediately after, the school. Find
ing the author of the note in a cornfeld,
he displayed his "persuader and told
the man to explain, apologize or fight,
at the same time producing the note.
The man translated the note as follows ::
"Sir, as you are man of knowledge,
l wish to enter my boy in your school,"

The TRUEsT BEAUTY.-The truest
beauty is not that which suddenly daz.
zles and fascinates, but that which steals
upon us insensibly. Let us each call up
to memory the faces that have been most
pleasant to us,-those that we have loved
best to look upon, that DOW rise most
wildly before US in solitude, and often
est haunt our slumbers, we shall
usually find them not the most perfect
in form, but the sweetest in expression.

How to get Along.

Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have place of business, be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting round
stores and saloons.
Never " fool in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity aud
promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
you know nothing of.
Strive to avoid harsh words and per-
sonalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path.
More miles can be made in day by
going steadily on than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford simply be-
cause it is fashionable.
Use your brains rather than those of
others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Young men, cut this out, and if there
be folly in the argument, let US know.

AN EXCELLENT EDUCATIoN.-To
read the English language well, to write
with dispatch q neat, legible hand, and
be master of the first four rules of arith-
metic, SO as to dispose of at once with
accuracy, every question of figures which
comes up in practice-I call this good
education. And if you add the ability
to write pure grammatical English, re-
gard it as an excellent education. You
can do much with them, but you are
helpless without them. They are the
foundation and unless you begin with
these, all your fashy attainments, lit
tie geology, and all other ologies and
osophies, are ostentatious rubbish.-Ed-
scard Everett.

DRINK AND WARM WEATHER.
Drink as little as possible in warm
weather This simple rule will prevent
almost all discomfort from heat. 1t il
the stertorous people who go about puff
ing and blowing like steam engines, and
taking in about as large an amount Of
fuel at every street-eorner, who COM
plain, probably suffer most from the
summer warmth, and are most liable to
be attacked by summer disorders. In.
cessant thirst is induced partly by habit,
partly by the quantity of salted food
ham mainly-which is used during the
warm weather. Abstain from salt food
eat fresh meat, fruit and vegetables, and
drink as little as possible. So will you
be happy.-Dr. Hail..

FERN PREssING.-This is just the time
to gather and press green ferns, and we
agree fully with writer in Scribner's,
that they are 80 pretty and refreshing to
have in the house in cold weather, so ea-
silly obtained, and 80 little trouble to pre-
pare, that it is pity that any one should
be without few bunches when the fow-
er season has passed There are many
ways of preserving them but the one
that seems most successful is to pick the
ferns when they are young and tender,
lay them between newspapers, or in large
fiat books, and place them under very
heavy weights until the sap has entirely
dried. Persons who gather in August
often leave them in press till Thanksgiv-
ing or Christmas, asserting that this long
subsection to weights keeps the color
better than any other method. The sat-
est way TO secure perfect ferns is to take
book to the woods, and lay each one
between the leaves as soon as broken
from the stem. Even in few minutes
ferns will curl up at the tips; after an
hour or two it is almost impossible to lay
them fat. This process is very good for
bright leaves. and makes them less arti-
fetal than when vanished. Bunches of
autumn leaves are very beautiful for eve
ming decorations, if a lighted candle be
set behind them. This brings out their
brilliant tints, and gives them the ap-
pearance of having been freshly gather

case Of peculiar bigotry which recently
occurred in Lynn, Mass, is thus described
by the Boston advertisers "For some weeks
past an entertainment in aid of the poor has
been advertised to take place at the North
Congrega ional chapel on Newly cars night
The idea Of the entertainment originated
with girl and boy, aged fourteen and
fifteen, the former being totally blind. She
is q fair vocalist and an excellent musician.
The chapel on the evening of the enter
tainmcnt was crowded, and was devoid Of
ornamcntaton save two national flags,
which in graceful folds frightened the walls
and added much to the CHEEKY look Of the
room All came with hearts full of charity
prepared to excuse any little drawbacks,
on account of the object for which the con-
cert was given. A few minutes before the
entertainment was to open, one of the dca-
cors connected with the church, walking
UP TO the foot of the small platform and
facing the audience, announced that the en-
tcrtainmont could not proceed, as he would
not allow the house of God to be desccratcd
by any such entertainments as was pro-
posed Che Dissertation being the Stars and
Stripes The audience adjourned, the
deacon attempting to hasten their move
ments by turning of the gas. The enter
tainmcnt will not be given up, but will be
held at Concert Hall, on next Tuesday eve
