Many persons, from nervousness, fatigue or
pnental excitement, are unable to sleep. Mr.
Frank Buokland, an English naturalist, pre-
scrbes very simple remedy for insomnia, or
seeplessness. The fact that opiates in any
form leaye traces of their influence the next
morning, induced lin. he says, to prescribe for
HIMSELF AS he has also frequently prescribed for
'otherS-onions; simply common raw onions.
The well-knOwn taste Of onions is due to 4 pc
culiar essential oil contained in them, and this
oil has highly soporiic powers, which, in his
own ease, Mr., Bucklond ayers, never fails if
much pressed with work. and feeling an nabi-
ity to sleep, his practice is to eat two or three
small onions, the effect of which is magical in
producing the desired repose, Such remedy
has great advantage over the supplying drugs
commonly resoiled TO for this purpose.

MIND YOUR Ps.-A western exchange tells
its readers how to mind their ops" IN the fol-
lowing paragraph Persons who patronize pa
pers should pay promptly, for the pecuniary
prospects of the press have peculiar power in
pushing forward public prosperity. If the
printer is paid promptly, and his pocket-book
kept plethoric by prompt paying persons he puts
his pen to his paper in peace, his paragraphs
are more pointed, he paints his pictures of pass
ing events in more pleasing coors and the pc
rnsal of his paper is pleasure to the people.
Paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in
some place where all persons can perceive it."
