VALUE OF SLEEP As A TONIC.

.#.| |. .LmaNN H N"I .#IHTHI N
The best possible thing for a man to do
when he feels too weak to carry anything
through is to go to bed and sleep as long us
he can This is the only actual recuper-
alton of brain force; because, during sleep,
the brain is in a state Of rest, in o condition
to receive and appropriate particles Of nu-
triment from the blood, which take the
place of those which have been consumed
by previous labor, since the very act of
thinking burns up solid PARTICLES, as every
turn Of the wheel or screw of the steamer
is the result of consumption by fire of the
fuel in the furnace. The supply of con-
sumed brain substance can only be had
from the nutritive PARTICLES in the blood,
which were obtained from the food eaten
previously, and the brain is so constituted
that it can best receive and appropriate to
itself those nutritive PARTICLES during the
state of rest. of quiet, and stiffness of sleep.
Mere stimulants supply nothing in them
selves; they goad the brain, and force it to
a greater consumption of its substance, un-
til it is SO exhausted that there is not
power enough left to take up q fresh sup
ply. Hf Fl aatt .taI3{ h1f1 i23kilA }ir

RANK OF WEALTH.

Why is it that man who with no labor of
his own has inherited n fortune should rank
higher in The worlds esteem than his father
VINO made it? We take rank by descent.
Such of us as havc the longest pedigree.
and are therefore the furthest removed
from the first who made the fortune and
founded the family, are the noblest. The
nearer to the fountain, the fouler the
stream /; and that first ancestor, who has
so;led his fingers iy labor, is no better than
u parvenu. Is this sensible or just is

HOW LADIES DRESS AT ENGLISH DIN
Z tifl u NER PARTIES. i5A1ht

For a lady to go to a dinner party or any
other party in England in what is called
her best black silk, " as Americans say,
would be fatal to her social reputation as a
person of high tone. A dinner dress for a
lady in England is something 1 tremble ut.
When she gets to the drawing-room the end
of the skirt is at the hall door ; and nothing
is on her neck. Her hair is ornamental
with fine feathers, flowers, and Jewels! Hci
neck is a terror to an arm of any loving
propensities in black cloth, for the slightest
contact would carry off much powdered
starch. But around it diamonds dwell, and
cmeralds glitter, or sapphires blaze, Eacll
shoulder is ornamental with a baby bow OF
band. and these constitute the upper pari
of the dress, with the exception of tho

A sHINTY MATCH,

One OF the episodes Of the long feud be.
tween the Clan Gregor and the Colquhounf
OF Luss-a quarrel that ended in the pro
'scription Of the MacGregors in 160S-is
connected with o match It shinty. Tive
subsections Of the Clan Alpine, who had
had some cause Of disagreement, had set
tied the vexed question, and, to celebrate
the renewal of perfect friendiiness, the
clansmen of both families agreed to meet
and spend some time in merry-making.
One Of their chief events was to be shinty
match between the men Of each family.
That their visitors and kinsmen might be
royalty entertained, the hosts organized a
foray into the Colquhoun's country by Loeb
Lomond side and carried off many head Of
fat cattle. Next day, in a level glen
among the hills, the MacGregors, men,
women, and children were assembled, the
men armed for the time only with the stur-
dy clubs to be used in their game. The
ball was thrown up, sticks ratified, all the
shouts and cheers Of the game were heard,
when suddenly, high above the noise of the
players, rose a shrek of the women, as
from all sides OF the glen adv need the
hated Colquhouns. The clansmen, though
surprised and unarmed, at once formed
up, back to back. and with their clubs
prepared to meet the swords Of the foe ;
but tough ash and steel had hardly met
when, with screams OF fury, a naked dirk
in each right hand and a bundle of clay
mores under each left arm, the women Of
the clan cut through the Colquhouns, and
brought to their husbands the broadswords
that soon swept the men of Luss back again
to Loeb Lomond ide.-Beigrdria.

AN Dill NEWSPAPER.


. There has lately been discovered in the lib
rary Of the University Of Heidelberg a copy
of a newspaper which proves to be the Oldest
periodical of which there is now any certain
knowledge. 1t is a qunrto volume, bearing
the date 1000, and is supposed to have been
printed by John Carolus of Strasburg. The
paper was issued weekly-each number con-
sisting of two sheets. 1t was mainly occupied
with letters from correspondents in adjoin-
ing States, which were contributed regularly,
1t is interesting to note the letters from
Vienna were about eight days on the route,
from Venice IA to II days, and from Rome
81 days. When the matter contained in
the letters, together with the news re-
tailed at secondhand failed to fill tho sheet,
the remaining space was left blank. nhii
! Intelligence Of every sort found n plnce
in the journal. Among the most interest
ing occurrences noted was the manufacture
Of the telescope by Calico. The cores
pondent from Florence writes on Septem-
Der 4th, to the effect that the government
OF Venice made a considerable present to
Signor Calico of Florence, professor of
mathematics Mt Padua, and increased his
annual stipend by 100 crowns. because with
diligent study he found out a rule and
measure by which it is possible to see places

The news received from Prague affords a
disturbed picture of plumber and murder in

thrown into the Moldau. Seven bodies

at another time seven malefactors were APP
