IT is often a question among people who
are unacquainted with the anatomy and
physiology of men, whether lying with head
exalted or level with the body, is the most
wholesome. Most, consulting their own
ease on this point, argue in favor of that
which thay prefer. Now, although many
delight in bolstering up their heads at night,
and sleep soundly without injury, yet we
declare it to be a dangerous habit. The
vessels in which the blood passes from tbs
heart to the head arealways lessened in their
cavities when the head is resting in he'd
higher then the body; therefore, in ali dis.
eases attended with fever, the head shonld
be pretty nearly on a level with the body:
and people ought to accustom themselves 10
sleep thus, and avoid danger,-Aed, Journal.

SOUND ADVICE TO YoUNe MEN.-Keep
good company or none. Never be idle. If
your hand can't be usefully employed, attend
to the cultivation of your mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagements. Keep your own
secrets, if you have any. When you speak
to a person look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are the very
sinews of virtue. Good character is above
all things else. Your character cannot be
essentially injured, except by your own actA.
Ii any one speaks evil OF you, let your life
be 80 that no one will believe him, Drink
no kind OF intoxicating liquors. Ever live
(misfortune excepted) within your income.
When you retire to bed think over what you
have been doing during the day. Make no
haste to be rich, if you would prosper.
Small and steady gains give competency,
with tranquility of mind. Never play at
any game of chance. Avoid temptation,
though you fear you may not Withstand it.
Earn money before you spend it. Never
run into debt unless you see way 10 Re,
out Of it. Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it. Do not marry until you are able
to support wife. Never speak evil of any
one. Be just before you are generous.


Keep yourself innocent, if you would be
happy. Save when you are young, that
you may spend when you are old. Read


over the above maxims at least once week.

THE ENGLISH RKFoRM QURsTIoN.-It is
announced that conferences have recently
been held in London between the leaders Of
the Reform party, in which /. was arranged


In view OF the probable proposal Of a Reform
bill by the Derby Ministry at the approaching
session Of Parliament, that the Reformers
should organize movement having IN view a
general refusal Of the payment of direct taxes
by those taxpayers who do not possess the
right Of suffrage. This action is to be based on
the principle OF ssno taxation without repre-.
sentafion;" bat the good policy Of such course
is quite questionable. The extension of the
suffrage to the English working classes is sure
to come, but it will be by gradual steps; and a
movement OF this kind is more calculated to
stir mp bitter feelings on the part Of the ruling
classes than to conciliate them in favor of Re.

CoRREcrroN.-In the Dispatch of the
3Oth. ultimo an article appeared in the local
column in regard to an elopement said to
have taken place in Staunton, which we
are assured by gentlemen of the highest
responsibility in that town was without
any foundation whatever, and that very
great wrong was done to most estimable
LADY and to her husband. They are both
said to be persons of high standing in the
community, and that their domestic rela-
tions are of the pleasantest character.
These gentlemen suppose that the rumor
originated from the temporary removal OF
the lady to another town, and that our in
formant had taken the unwarranted liberty
of putting an improper construction on the
circumstance. No one can regret more
than We do the publication referred to-,
but with the utmost care that can be eXer-
cised, il sometimes occurs in journalism
that unintentional injury is inflicted on
innocent persons.

"a CARD.-In 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given to the Jobbing Trade,
and, ignoring the services of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them, or TO such as keep them on hand for the
better supply of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks have never
In a single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
to do so, they nevertheless put forth great
txertions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
prcciated in value is not what it formerly was,
and that those which they vend are equal, II not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens as well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people are
apt to he misled by their representations.


In order that the public may judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much PAINS
taking is exercised to give every one who orders.
Just such pen as will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen sent.

WHY IouNd LADIES STARE.-An cx- change says the reason young ladies stare is because they can't help it, as to keep in the fashion they are compelled to wear such bunch of stuff at the back of the head that natural hair is drawn to the highest tension, and as the skin of the forehead is drawn back, the eyes get an upward tendency that leaves the impress that the girls look fierce and bald. It is all mistake.- The dear creatures arc just as tender and loyable as they ever were, and they would very willingly lower their eye lids if they could, without lifting the tremendous ball that is bound to the back of the head in such a disadvan- tageous position. When the waterfalls are dried up, tho girls will look just as meek-eyed as they did before the ad- vent of that monstrosity of fashion.

This, however, need cause no anxiety; for,
even should her supply OF coal be exhausted,

will be pushed through the House at once. OF
course the radical press will do It's part in this
work, to say nothing of the radical orators, so
that you need not be surprised to hear of the
formal impeachment of President Johnson
early in March.


The radicals claim that they have nearly
House, but they prefer to wait for the meeting
of the next Congress, in which they will be
stronger, and by, which time they hope that
there will be larger popular sentiment in
favor of the high-handed procedure.


THE NEXT CONGRESS.


Speculation is already rife as to the presiding
officers of the next Congress, for as Senator
Fosters term of Office will expire on the 4th OF
March. a new President of the Senate will have
to be chosen. This latter, however, is a small
matter compared with the Spealzership OF
the House. Speaker Coliax is anxious for re-
election, and his personal popularity is such
that his prospects are very good. But recently
it has been ascertained that there is an under
current against him.


A number of the leading radicals are quietly
working in opposition TO him. fearing lest he
may not give them the assistance which they
will need to secure the success of their projects
Thad. Stevens is understood to favor the selec-
tion of new Speaker, as he feels sore al
being called to order few days since for his
remarks about Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, and the
call being sustained by Speaker Colflx.


He has not named candidate for the Speak
ership, but it is believed that he would prefer
the election of some bitter radical, otherwise
too mild to offer the slightest opposition to any
pToDosition introduced or endorsed by him
Yet it is not likely that the opposition to the
reelection of Colfax will amount to much.
The present Speaker is intensely radical, and
has never refrained from expressing the most
extreme views when such expression might
prove advantageous TO him partisan. He
will lend all the aid in his power to the i'm.
peachment of Mr.. Johnson, so soon as he
thinks that the majority of his party favors it.

DISEASE IL CIrIEs.-A very important fact rel
alive to the healthfulness of cities is developed
by the figures of the New York Bureau Of Vital
Statistics. During the past ten years the ratio
of death in the Fifteenth Ward has been seventeen
deaths to every one hundred thousand of popu-
lation annually, while in the Fourth, Sixth and
Eighth Wards, the proportion Of deaths has been
sixty to every one hundred thousand inhabitants.
The Fifteenth Ward has trifing, if any, advantage
in point of location, and is about as densely
populated the others, but the superior intell-
ceuce and careful regard for sanitary measures
that characterize the inhabitants result in the
immunity from disease that afford so remarkable
contrast with the wards where the reverse Is
the prevalent and almost universal rule.
