"BLAzEgs- F1xps A PARApIsE.-We
have, says the Virginia New Enter
prise, in this town, a genius known as
aBlazer.r who is never atpeace ex-
cept when at war" He would leave
his dinner any day if he tho't he could
find a fight. When he is unable TO
find muss he is perfectly wretehed.
4 week without battle, and he be-
gins to think there is nothing in this
world worth living for. Although he
seldom wins more than one fight in
ten. It is all the same to him. He rath-
er enjoys good pummeling. A night
or two since some friends of his who
happened to be passing through the
"Barbary Coast" region of the town,
had their attention attracted to she
bang near at hand by tremendous up
roar.
There was a smashing of glass, a
crashing of chairs, bottles, and tunn-
blers; fierce yells, bitter curses, and,
in short, fearful connection. Think
ing one of the voices within had ia
miiiar sound, the gentlemen looked in
at the door of the ''gin-mill," and there
beheld Blazer surrounded by abont half
a dozen Coast rangers, who were Civ
ing it to him straight from the shout
der on all sides. Blazers nose was
fattened :; one eye boosted wateh-fob;
his upper lip was laid open by blow
from tumbler, and his clothes were
nearly torn from his back
A clip under the eye sent him ''to
grass" while those nearest him began
Jumping upon him and kicking him in
the ribs. His friends at once rushed to
the rescue. The breath was complete
ly knocked and kicked out of poor
Blazer and he lay stretched senseless
upon the floor,
d. Some water dashed in his face soon
revived him Recognizing his friends
he smiled as amiably as was possible
with his bloated and distorted upper
lip, and hnskily whispered:
Boys, it's gorgeous! I've stumbled
into a regular Paradise!" 4

SLEEP-There is no fact more clear
ly established in the physiology of
man than this, that the brain expends
its energies and itself during the hours
of wakefulness, and that these are re-
cuperated during sleep; if the recu-
peration does not equal the expendi-
.ture, the brain withers; this is insani-
ty. Tins it's that, in early English
history, persons who were condemned
to death by being prevented from sleep
ing always died raving maniacs; thus
it is, that those who are starred to
death become insane; the brain is not
nourished and they cannot sleep. The
practical differences are these:
First, those who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep.
Second, that time saved from necessa-
ry sleep is infaliibly destructive to
mind, body and estate. Third, give
yourself, your children, your servants
give all who are under you-the full
est amount Of sleep they will take, by
compelling them to go to bed at some
regular hour, and to rise in the morn
ing the moment they awake; and with
in fortnight, nature, with almost the
regularity of the rising sun, will un-
loose the bonds Of sleep the moment
enough repose has been secured for the
wants Of the system. This is the only
safe and sufficient rule-and as to the
question how much sleep any one re.
quired, each must be a rule to himself
great Nature will never fail to write it
out to the observer under the regula-
tons just given. m
