RECREATIoNs.-We do not need to be
idle mole than a quarter OF our time
that is six hours out OF the tweuty-four,
when we are fast asleep. Children sleep
mOre-eigllt or ten hours. Grown peo-
pie whose la5Ols physical or mental, are
exiaustiug, also need more.
The secret of recreation is alternative.
Change is rest. Our minds are made up
OF many faculties, as our bodies are oil
many muscles. We use one set, and est
another. WeariDesS comes of using one
SCI TOO long at time. A man may work
eighteen houJs out OF the tweuty-Iour,
ii he will only bave three or four 6lpds
of employments, aud devote himself two
or three hours each alternately, Eac:l
change is rest, recreation, amusemene.
1t il long, UNMARRIED, monOt0uOns labOrs
thai weary, and wear, and kill AS men
work commonly, the ten hour law is a
necessity. Give them variety, and no
such law would ever be needed.

Cotton-Press Burned-3.O0O Bales Of

CHARLESTON, S. c., December 15.-The
Champion cotton.press caught fire at quar-
ter-past 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the
flames spread so rapidly that in few mo-
ments the whole building was in blaze.
About 5000 bales of cotton were in the
press and sheds at the time, and are nearly
a total loss. There is much uncertainty as to
the insurance, but it is believed that the loss
on the cotton will be $780, 00-fully in
sured; and $4,000 on the press-building and
machinery are insured for $4,000.
The Liverpool, London and Globe have
about $125,O00 on the cotton and machinery !;
the North British aud Mercantile and Lon
don and Lancashire have about the same
amount on the cotton and machinery a
French company has $4,000 on the cotton (;
