Sleep.

In q recent work on "Sleep," Dr.
Mortimer Granville objects, without re-.
serve, to the use of narcotics in order to
produce it. They produce MOI sleep, but
counterpart of it. When a man says !
will take sleeping draught in order to
get quiet night, he speaks in parallels.
What he really says is, I will poison N.Y.
self a little, just enough to make mecun-
conscious, or slightly paralyze my n rye
centers, not enough to kill. He declares
that if people troubled with sleopless-
ness would resolutely set themselves to
forming the habit of going to sleep at a
particular time, in particular way,
they will do more to procure regular
sleep than by any other artifce. 1t is
not so much matter what a person does
to produce sleep, but he should do pre-
cisely the same thing, in the same..way,
at the same time, and unde1 nearly as
possible, the same conditions, night after
night, for q considerable period ssy
thres or four weeks at lasst

Four young ladies were sitting on the
porch of William H. Speakman's resi-
dence, in Wallace township, Chester
county, Pa, when there assailed theil
ears deafening explosion, rs of a heav-
lily charged gun. Then. instantaneously
a small ball of fire passed through one of
the panes of glass in window, making
a round, well-shaped hole. Through an
opposite open door it took its way into
an adjoining room, and there, appar-
emily, in the shape of large, fiery ball.
stood still for severalseconds at n distance
of about two feet from the floor and
then disappeared. What became of lit
eli the ladies were too much frightened

One day, as have heard I. said,
Il CHANGED a rag and bit OF lead
Lay in the kennel snug toge ther
In very wet and muddy wea ther.
The rag.was spoiled, and old and tc I'm;
The Bit of lead was bruised nd VIC m;
Two walls, whose worth, at full .ccount,
Was OF such very small am o',nt
They well together might elnain,
70 bide the pelting OF the n in.
Yet, low as was their pres ant state,
They both had known J cite. fate.
The rag had once been ,hole and white,
In every way had plea sed the sight;
And, in its time, had helped adorn
A bride, upon her he wedding morn,
Lent to her figure nd her face
An added, though unneeded, grace,
Nor thought suc} parting and distress
Could e'er betal 1 wedding dress!
The piece of lad could not forget
Its fortunes mad been nobler yet;
For, mc jlled well, for use of one
Who fas his country's faithful son.
1t ha d-though that was long ago
Bee n sped against that country's foe,
A nd, guided by unerring hand,
Had stretched him liteless on the sand.
There came man, with hook and bag,
Who bore away the lead and rag,
And both We're to shop consigned,
With many others OF their kind.
When winter passed, and summer came,
The former rag had changed its name
10 opaper, and it might avow
1t ne'er had been so white as now.
Meanwhile, the lead, so long despised,
Was altered SO twas highly priced;
For, melteL, purified and cast,
1t was printers type at last.
They now, in this, their new condition,
We're put into their old position;
Drawn oloser than before, to kiss,
And find their apothesis.
What greater immoralitv
Than helping genius not to die'

An autumn Day.

Like . jewel golden-rimmed;
Like q chalice nectar brimmed;
Like q strain Of music low
Lost in some sweet long ago; 8
Like q M J story old
By the lips Of children told;
Like q rune of anoien bard;
Like missal giory-starred-
Comes upon her winsome way
This enchanting autumn day.
Der the hills the sunlight sleeps;
Through the wales the shadow crceps;
On the rivers stately tides
Rich the silent splendor giides;
Where the fiowery orchards be-.
Pertumed breezes wander tree;
Where the purple clusters shine
Through tho network OF tho vine,
Fragrant odors AL the air;
Beauty shineth everywhere,
While upon her joyous way
Comes the lovely autumn day.
