The Blessings of Sleep

Sleep! God bless the man who first invented sleep!" While I am asleep I have neither fear nor hope, neither trouble nor glory. said Sancho Panza. Bless ings on him who invented sleep, that mantle that covers all human thoughts; the food that appeases hunger; the drink that quenches thirst; the fire that warns; the cold that moderates heat; and lastly, the general coin that pur- chases all things; the balance and weight that makes the shepherd equal to the king, and the simple to the wise.

Bened;ction.

May the blessings of thy Go d wait upon thee and the sun of glory shine around thy head; may the gates of plenty, honor and happiness be always open to thee and thine, so far as they will not rob thee of eternel joys
 May no strife disturb thy days; nor sorrow distress thy night, and may the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek and pleas ures of happy realities attend thy dreams; and when length of years make thee tired of earthly joys and the curtains of death gent ly close around the scenes of thy eXistance, may the angels of God attend thy bed, and take care that the expiring lamp of life shall not receive one rude blast to hasten it's extindtion; and may the Savior's blood have washed thee from all impurities, and prepar ed to enter into the land of ever lasting rest.-Selected.

A Mistake.

The following poem was placed in our box at the post office few days ago:
 "The grasshopper eats the
 farmers hay, The bumble-bee steals his honey;
 The bed bug bites him on the
 head,
 While Sears Roebuck gets his
 money"
 There was no name singed to it, but it is evident that the party who placed it in our hox is not acquainted with the busi- ness affairs of this country, for you can put the money that Sears -Roebuck & Co.,, or any other mail order firm gets out of this country in the corner of your eye. Our farmers and la boring people quit this practice several years ago and they have never yet had cause for regret either. .-Forney (Texas) Head light.
