The origin of much of the nervousness
and impaired health of individuals who are
not decidedly sick is owing to want of
sufficient andquiet rest. TO procure this
should be the study of every one. Labor
ing people should retire as early as 9o'clock
in the evening, and all Others by 10 or ii
O'Clock. Those who are liable to have dis
turbed sleep should take especial care that
their evenings pass TRANQUILITY.

ming, by which they are so much agitated
that their sleep is broken aud unquiet
In our opinion, the most frequent and i'm
mediate cause of insanity, and one of the
most important to guard against, is want of
sleep. So rarely do we see recent case of
insanity that is not preceded by want of
sleep that we regard it as almost the sure
precursor Of mental arrangement.
Notwithstanding strong hereditary pre-
disposition, i'll aea.th, loss of kindred or
property, insanity rarely results unless the

Of sleep. A mother loses her only child,
the merchant his fortune; the politician, the
scholar, the enthusiast, may have their
minds powerfully excited and disturbed, yet
if they sleep well they will not become in
sane
We wish we could impress upon all the
vast Importance of securing sound and
abundant sleep. To procure sleep, it is i'm
portant that the mind should not he dis
turbed for several hours before retiring to
rest. Retire early; and when neither very
warm nor cold, sleep on hair mattress or
on bed not very soft. The bedroom should
be large and well ventilated, and the bed
should not be placed near the wall nor near
the window, as such an arrangement often
exposes the person to currents of cold air.
There should be nothing tight about the
neck, and the rule of cleaning the teeth be-
fore retiring is good one. Tea or coffee
taken late at night is apt TO disturb sleep.
Strive to Danish thought as much as posi-
bic, or take up the dullest subject. Study
during the evening is improper.
A writer observes of NJ. Guizot, former
Minister Of France; Ellis facility for going
to sleep after extreme excitement and mem
tai exertion is prodigious After the most
boistcrous and tumultupus sttings at the

writer, that for many Of the latter years of
his life, Sir Robert Peel was in the invaria-
BILE habit, at whatever hour he returned
from his Cabinet, or the House of Com
mons, OF reading for half an hour in some
religious book before retiring to rest. 1t
was by this habit, he said, that he could
keep his mind calm and clear after the dis
fractions and irritations of the day."

himself in teaching tho bright lutte fellow
several words and phrases in number Of
languages, 50 that he had quite a reputation
as linguist. An Englishman of some note
dined with the family one day, and the
child was much interested in watching him
and listening to his conversation. After
dinner the guest took him on his knee, with
the remark Il hear you know great many
languages; tell me how many you know.
"Oh, know French and German and Ital.

you know English?'' '.No, 1 don't know

Amy one who has sat in court dur
ing trial in which many days were
taken to develop the evidence cannot
help but sympathize with the patient
jurymen. These jurymen must sit and
listen through the long tediousness of
dry harangues and dryer irrelevant
testimony and patiently weigh the
whole ton Of chaff and take therefrom
the little kernel Of pertinent evidence.
That justice may reign untrammeled
in their bosoms, they are allowed to
sit in -bottomed chair, in an
unventilated corner Of small log
court house for many consecutive days
and be spit upon in too many instau-
ces by the expectorating attorneys and
uncouth witnesses. In addition to
this, that undisturbed Justice may,
dwell impartia!ly in their bosoms they
are usually huddled, like so many
sheep, into small room to pass the
night, with less attempts to accommo-
date them than is given to the prise
ner in his cell. That number of
jurymen may calmly weigh the evil
dence given them they ought to be
placed in position and with proper
surroundings to first enable them to
calmly consider themselves. The in
stance of man who has been cxer-
cisine i'll the open air for years is
brought into warm improperly ven
tilated court room, compelled to sit
quietly for number of DAYS in CON
fined misery, and asked, unacquainted
as he too often is with the phraseology
of the bar to decide upon matters of
fact according to prescribed rules of
law, and then people will wonder at
the verdict. Somebody is to blame.

The wedding day may be the most
svsntful day in womans life, but it
i not the happiest, though it is con-
veptonally called ,o.FT Nor is it the
ms. Both the chief parties to- a
Wedding cut rather awkward figures
and play difficult parts on the day they
arc made one in the presence of great
eoncourse of friends, neighbors and IN
different folks. The only brides who
en- really enjoy . wedding day are
those Who do not much caresfor BRIDE
grooms or who have struggled toward
marriage under circumstances which
convert their wedding day into splendid
personal triumphs. In humber life.
when . girl marries man who is her
superior in station, she must experience
. nonent Of exquisite delight when
her union Is consecrated amid a circle
Of Snvious friends. But to ordinary
couples who love each other, and
whose match Is 80 well assorted in re-
tpect Of age, station and fortune that
u sxcites no wonder, the wedding day
= certainly tircsome one. The two
y6nng people are impatient to be uni
VI, and they glory in the day which
i 10 make them man and wife; but all
tn formalities Of nuptials seem to
thsm most tedious. The bride ex-
pectant rises in the morning, unre-
freshed by sleepless night and ner-
vous in anticipation Of the days pro-
ceedings. A glance at her mirror
shows her that she is not looking her
best. Correctly speaking man has
no rights over his bride till the we'd
ding service is over, and consequently
he has no business to kiss her before
strangers; but at court weddings, royal
bridegrooms settle the difficulty by a
compromise, and kiss their brides on
tho hands. Lucky the bridegrooms
whocan laugh on a wedding day.
The worst Of dismal bridegroom is
that his glum looks may work upon
brides nerves and make her cry. There
are brides who feel called upon to sob
In church; at the breakfast, and again
= the hour Of departing. Anything
- better than this. The bridegroom,
csts = most miserable figure when he
y made to appear as a brute who is
carrying off an impressionable maiden
against her will, and the bride herself
does not shine out to her grea test ad
vantage when she lapses into the melt
Ing mood several times over in one
AAy. Some tears are, of course, excus
able, and one honest, unprecedented
.Oat burst at the moment when the
newly welded wife leaves the home
where she has been SO happy is but q
proof Of good-heartedness, which the
bridegroom should note as a glad au
gury, seeing that cold-hearted girls dc
not, q a rule, make warm hearted
wives. On the whole, however, lei
wedding b mirthful without levity
and, q it is tha bride who strikes the
keynote OF the prevailing sentiment al
wedding, let him clothe his features
In serenity. London Truth.

LITTLE PoTLATcn, April

r
ED. TELLER:-I desire small space
in the TELLER to introduce to the peo-
pie our Little Potlatch country. Every
body in this section is busy, Fencing
up ranches is the principal branch Of
industry just now. This is all pre-
paratory to sowing our Spring crops,
which we expect to be ready to do
soon. At present, with three kinds Of
labor in one day, the indications for an
early Spring are not fattering. This
grass is thrifty and green, and stock
are looking remarkably well, consider
ing that we are having rain, sunshine
and sleet all in twcnty-four hours.
More roadways are necessarily being
demanded as our country is being filed
up with new arrivals. Rivers and
streams are very high. Our horses are
a little thin yet, but we expect soon to
have them ready for the long pulls
from the mountains.

Mr.. w. B. Hill, of Wakulla coun-

specimen of the finest upland rice we
have ever seen. The stalks measured
fifty-two inches in length, and the
heads alone we're from ten to twelve
inches long. 1t was raised on ordinary
fat, upland, piney-woods land, with
out fertilizer OF any kind, and with
little cultivation. An acre of such
rice would yield not less than fifty
bushels, which would net 81 per
bushel at the Jacksonville rice mills.
The'same acre, planted to cotton,
would yield not over $50 pounds of
lint, which would, at 10 cents, yield
