Sleep.

Leigh Hunt is said to have perpetrated a
very bad pun connected with the dOrmitory,
and which made Charles Lamb laugh immod-
erately. Going home together late one night,
the latter repeated the well known proverb,
GA homes a home, however homely." "Aye,"
added Hunt, 'and a beds a bed, however
bedly." 1t is a strange thing, a bed. Some
body has called it a bundle of paradOxes :
we so to it reluctantly, and leave it with re-
gret. Once within the downy precincts OF the
four posts, how 10th we are to make our
exodus into the wilderness of life. We are
as enamored of our curtained dwelling as if
it were the land of Goshen or the cave of
Gree. And how many fervent vows have
those dumb posts heard broken, every fresh
perjury rising to join its cloud of lowering
fellows, each morning weighing heavier and
heavier on our sluggard eyelids. A caustic
proverb says we are ali ''good risers at night"
but woes me for our agility in the morning.
1t is a falling of our species, every ready to
break out in all of us, and in some only VAN
pushed after a struggle painful as the sunder-
ing of bone and marrow. The great Frederick
of Prussia found it easier, in after life, to rout
the French and Austrians, than in youth to
resist the seductions Of sleep. After many
single handed attempts at reformation, he had
at last to call to his assistance an old domes-
tic, whom he charged, on pain of dismissal,
to pull him out of bed every morning at two
o'clock. The plan succeeded, as it deserved
to succeed. All men of action are impressed
with the Importance of early rising. "When
you begin to turn in bed, it's time to turn
out" says the old Duke and we believe his
practice has been in accordance with his pre-.
cept. Literary men-among whom, as Bulwel
says, a certain Incidence seems almost consti
~tutional-are not so clear upon this point
they are divided between night and morning
though the best authorities seem in favor o.
the latter. Early rising is the best eli1ir uite
it is the only l%engthener of life that man has
ever devised. By its aid the great Button wa:
able to spend half a century-an ordinary
lite-lime-at his desk and yet he had time
to be the most mopish of all the philosophers
who then graced the gay metropolis of France
domestic MOnthlu.

A new tea has (says the European MdR)
ust been introduced into Paris, which has
the virtue of preserving the brilliancy and
beauty of early youth up to the ripest age.
This tea is called the Serkys tea. 1t is COM
posed of exquisitely refreshing and balsamic
plants growing on the foot of the mountains
of Mecca and Libanus. 1t has the property
of rendering the skin firm and soft, and gives
Il youthful and fresh color to the complexion.
1t is, moreover, 50 pleasant to the taste that
the Sultanas of the East make it their daily
and ~favorite beverage. This tea was first dis.
covered by the Dervish Cheikh Omar, who
made it known to the Sultan OSman [. 1t
was Cheikh Omar, also, who made known
the celebrated Mocha coffee to lis Sultan. In
France it was known during the reign of
Louis XIV, and perhaps it was owing to this
preparation that all the women of that period
were young and beautiful. The Serkys is
made like any other tea. 1t is infused for
about five minutes, and drank hot. The tea
leaves, afterward well stewed down, form an
excellent eau de toilette for the bath.

Political Notes by a Frenchman.

Here is some information respecting the
different candidates for the Presidency in the
United States. First of all the ex-President,
General Grant, has a very considerable follow
ing, but he persists in his determination not
to pose as a candidate. Mr.. Blaine poses as
the defender of the national unity, which he
believes to be menaced by the new move
ment of State-rights; he is the champion Of
the union of the races, and he afirms that
the only way to save the rights of the people
is to follow the system of General Grant, Sec
ing that the conciliatory policy of the present
President has only encouraged the aristocratic
and secessionist tendencies of the whites at
the South.
The position of Mr.. Conkllng differs little
from that of Mr.. Blaine. He does not enjoy
a great popularity, but he has apreponderating
influence in the State of New York. He is
known as a ready organizer OF political par
ties and as the man most capable of managing
la machine electorate"
man, represents the material interests. As
Minister of finance he has won much esteem
and sympathy from those who concern them
selves with the perils hat menace the nation
al credit.
The Democratic party has as yet only one
candidate, Mr.. Tilden, who like Mr.. Conck-
ling, plays in a superior manner " la machine
electorate" and has not ceased to pefect 1t
since his last tasco. But his calm and perse-
vering character offers too great a contrast to
the fury of the southern agitators for them to
accept him as the representative oftheir prin-
ciples. Mr.. Tilden appears to be only their
provisional candidate in the absence of a bet
ter one.
Ninally there is still another candidate, the
character of which is not yet detelmined-it
is that of Madame Victoria Woodruff, who is
at the head of the feminine movement In
America.-La Globe, Paris, Oct. 7th.

Something has been gained by the struggles
between laborers and capitalists. The
'strikes" of the past have not been all waste.
1t is worthy of notice hat wages in all kinds
of industries have already advanced in conse-
quence of the good times. Some of these
advances have been due to the previous
agreements kind Of sliding scale having
been agreed upon at the close of a past strug-
gle by which wages should be increased in
proportion to the advance in prices. In other
cases wages have been advanced by employer
voluntarily.

1t is estimated the employment Of a ston-
ographer in Court expedites business at least
one-tenth. The court expenses have been
running 5000 to $500 per day. The stenog-
rapher receives IS per day. At this rate he
saves Sc to So where he costs 81. The accu-
racy of the report and the aivan. age it is in
the Supreme Court is an additional benefit
derived. Even in the less important districts
in the States stenographevs are employed at
the same rates as paid here.-Ne,o NORTH

The prevailing style of wide belts worn by
the ladies is calculated to impress one with
the belief that a great deal of leather betting
