"Court the Country Girls"

To tic editor Of the N. 7. Herald:
The letters recommending the young men
Of New York Of sms!l incomes to court and wed
the country girls were intensely interesting 10
many of US, and IN behalf of my rural sisters
desire to thank the writers for their nigh aprre-
citation OF Us and to remind them Of Whist nelth-
OF of them scons to have thought Of that 1t taxes
two to mako q bargain The generous aoVlce
so kindly given to tho impecuElcus young men
might be no doub. to them sdvsnthgeously iol,
lowed, but the advantage to the accothpltsaeu
Young ladies whom the writers seems 10 tnlnK
stand rosdy and waiting, is not 70 many OF Us
apparent. o;ou,,
cfthe impecunious Glass, is not educated or re-
facd in true sense. His accomplishments arc
not Of the heart or intellect. He Is ususliy moro
or less addicted to the use CT intoxicating oeVer-
apes and tobacco, His sense of honor snd right
is apt to be dull, and sharp practice in business
is his IDEA of smartnes:, in which trait no IS am
hi.icus to excel. He takes carly to cigars, anu
drink, KID gloves and canes, and his type OF
gentleman is tho swell. In my occasional eS-
uursons to tho city l I'm often panied 10 observe
the vast number Of we'll dressed young loaterS
promenading Broadway in business hours ana
ranged in rows in the pOrches Of the great hotels
gazing after the lsGies, and, being something OF
physiognomist, l have formed my opinion OF
these young men from the specimens furnished
are dszzled by the city bellies and cannot afford
them These have not the heads O. hearts that
the country girl; wants in husband. They arc
incapable Of that sympathy and love necessary
to tho happiness Of the country girl II not 10
every other girl and we had rather be excused
from taking life contract Of missionary work
With the average Now Yorker. If"Audrey'
anu the music teacher will sond Us tho true sort
young gentlemen Of good morals, who mother
drink, smoke nor carry canes u certain token O,
physical or mental weakness We shall be glad
20 meet them with all the social and domestic
accomplishments We possess. DoRCAS.

Eighteen Years Without Sleep.

The man who does not sleep, Saunders, now re-
sides near PARK ersburg. o. Sometime in 1861 or
90, Saunders enlisted in the Fourth West Vr
ginia Volunteers. For several years he had not
slept at all, so he said. But it becoming known
directly in camp that he made such pretensions,
it aroused the curiosity of many of the men and
officers, and they set a watch upon him. The
Colonel and many others lost great many nights
sleep in endeavoring to entrap Saunders, but dur
ing the whole time he remained member of the
Fourth he was never caught asleep. He stood
guard night after night, and week after week,
paid by sleep-head soldiers to take their turns
bat was never caught mapping. lie hauled coal
several weeks in succession, only stopping long
enough to eat and change horses, and plowed in
the fields with five six stslwart men until he
wore them out completely, but never seemed to
tire.
During the year of 1863 he went to Philsdel-
phia and was examined by the leading physci ans
of the country. They sat up with him in relays
Of five, night and day, and kept up an almost con-
stant stream of conversation with him, and at the
termination OF twenty-nne days discharged him
With acer feIte. but could give no explanation
