To take hearty meal just before retir-
ing is, OF course, injurious, because it is
very likely to disturb ones rest, and pro-
duce nightmare. However, little food
at this time, if one Is hungry, is decidedly
beneficial; it preyents the knawing of an
empty stomach, with its attendant rest
lessness and unpleasant dreams, to say
nothing of probable headache, or of ner-
yous and other arrangements, the next
morning. One should no more lie down
at night hungry than he should lie down
| after very full dinner; the consequence
OF either being disturbing and harmful.
A cracker or two, bit OF bread and but
| ter, or cake, little fruit-someth thing to
relieve the sense OF yacuity, and so re-
store the tone of the system-is all that
Is necessary. We have known persons,
habitual sufferers from restlessn SIS at
night, to experience material benefit,
even though they were not hungry, by a
very light luncheon before bedtime. In
place OF tossing about for two or three
hours as formerly, they would soon grow
drowsy, fall asleep, and not awake more
than once or twice unth sunrise. This
mode of treating insomnia has recently
been recommended by several distin.
guished physicians, and the prescription
has generally been attended with happy
results.

coed in blending with Brahm the su-
preme divine essence. Each goes
into the animal that Is most con-
genial to his own nature, and as no
one knows what animal will receive his
soul at the dissolution of the body, 1t is
important to his transmigratory CON-
fort to be very gentle and loving to all
the animal creation. Under the latest

From chapter Of the New Gospel on
this subject in Frazers Magazine, we
clip the following:
Before man can cease to be the tyrant
Of the world, and become worthy OF be.
fEg its lord, he must love not only other
men, but also all harmless animals. Then
they will be his daily delight; and love,
gushing through common life, will re-

against birds, sheep and oxen-all, &C.

The Irish World is squarely radical on
Land Reform for Ireland, as against
English landlords. 1t holds that the
English claimants to land in Ireland
have no right to it that should be res
pected at all. They have no right to
rent from any such land. The World
says:
Now, the Earl of Dartmouth and all the
other plundering peers have no more

pie tor living OH their own lands than
The pirate had to demand tribute from
the French captain Tor bringing him to
shore in his own ship. Land piracy, and
not landlordism, is the proper name Of
the Irish system.
Well, Mr.. World; after you have seized
back the estates Of English land-holders
In Ireland, to whom, then, do the lands
belong? Would they not fall to the heirs
of the former Irish owners? Well, sup.
pose a whole county fall to one
man, can you tell the reason of
his right to collect rent of the oc-
cupants or cultivators OF that land?
1t the English land-holders robbed
Irish landlords, did not the latter previ-
ously rob the people of their natural
right to the land? They got their estates
according to law, you say; but how does
robbers law differ from robbery by
force without law? The law was estab-
lished either by fctions which were in.
vented to undermine the laws of nature
and Of justice, and thus rob the people,
or by direct force-the conqueror making
the laws to suit himsele-just as the Eng
ish conquerors of Ireland have made
the laws under which English landlords
rob Irish laborefs. II Is the same in both
cases. We concur with the World as far
as it goes; but it doesnol 60 far enough

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

We were peculiarly fortunate an evening or
two since, in being present at an entertain
ment, for charitable purposes. under the
auspices of lady member Of one of our old
Creole families.
Three one act comedies, with a charming
song after the first and second pieces, and
then refreshments and dance constituted the
pleasures offered. As the invitations, which,
however, had a fixed money value, we're is
sued only to friends, it will readily be per-
ceived that the audience was only such as
those at the head of the affair desired, and
that, consequently, the entertainment was as
strictly exclusive as any drawing-room re-
seption could possibly be.
In this case the cards were for Parfaite
Union Hall, and at first glance, on entering
the premises, it was evident that skillful fin
gers had been at work. The grounds were
garlanded with Chinese lanterns,
the basement building served as refreshment
saloon, while upstairs the hall had been con-
verted into miniature theater.
The exclusiveness of the invitations
prompts us to refrain from diffusive praise in
print. Our idea in thus referring to the mat
ter was to thank those ladies and gentlemen
who took any part in the entertainment for
having opened our eyes to this novel and
most delightful way of dispensing charity,
and we only trust that this may prove to be
but the first of series of similar pleasures.

The sea being very high and the night dark,
he could not lower the boats. The captain
says he had lookout at the bow and one on
