A traveller, bound for Cincinnati,
where he had business of importance
to transact had rested over night,
with his wife, at the Broadway Hotel
in order to be sure to hit the, morning
train, which leaves at an early hour.
His lady has arisen awakened him,
dressed herself and gone down to
breakfast, expecting her lord to follow
her without delay. While eating
hastily and scolding mentally, in view
of the tardiness, she heard the whis-
tie Of the locomotive. Rushing fran
tically upstairs, her horror may be
imagined when, on opening the bed
room door, snore from the conjugal
sluggard saluted her ear A slight
scream and o rough shake awoke
him. Ho heard the whistle! Pull
ing on his boots, he hastily gathered
in his arms tho rest of his attire, and
pushing the lady before him, put for
the train at a two-foriy gait dressed
only in boots aud shirt The train
reached the depot Throwing all but
his shirt upon the platform, the lady
hurriedly sought to obtain tickets at
the Office, while the husband proceed
ed to clothe himself with his No. /
garment. While it was yet Auttering
over his head, the whistle again
sounded maliciously, and off started
the train. The unfortunate creature
entered the car, his flesh having a
pimpled, goose-like appearance, while
his blnshing lady, spreading out her
crinoline like the sacred vail of char
ity, converted herself into screen,
that his nakedness might be hidden
from his fellow-travelers The other
female passenger, putting her hand
over her eyes, with her fingers spread
wide apart, declared, before she turn
ed her head in another direction, that
it was ''shockingl"

An exchange furnishes US with the fol.
lowing facts, which are of interest and i'm
portance to every one


Set pitcher of iced water in room in
habited, and in few hours it will have alb
sorbed from the room nearly all the respired
and perspired gases Of the room, the air Of
which will become purer, but the water Of
which is utterly filthy. This depends on
the fact that water has the faculty of con
densing, and thereby absorbing all the cases.
which il does without increasing its own
bulk. The colder the water is, the greater
is its capacity to contain pint of ,carbonic
acid gas, aud several pints of ammonia
The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in room awhile, is always unfit
for use, and should always be renewed,
whether it become warm or not. And for
the same reason, the water in pumpstock
should all be pumped out in the morning,
before any is used. That which has stood
in the pitcher over night is not fit for coffee
water in the m orning. Impure water is
more injurious to the health than impure
air, and every person should provide the
means of obtaining fresh pure water for
domestic use. Sfl ".-

We often hear it remarked that
many of the negroes are idle and un-
willing to labor, and complaints of this
kind are sometimes made to the Freed
mems Bureau. Among all races, how
ever, there are idle men, and of course
the African race is not excepted. On
the otherside Of the question, we may
state fact which recently came to our
knowledge and which shows that all
negroes are not idle. A certain plant
er, living not many miles" from
Nashville, complained to Gen. Fisk
that his.negroes worked too much, and
asked to have something done about it..
It seems that those colored men were
to have q share in the cotton crop,and
being anxious to raise all they could
they not only worked in the day time,
but continued to labor far into the
night. BY the light of the moon they
cultivated the planters acres with SO
much industry that he became alarmed
for his stock, and told Gen. Fisk that
the freedmen would kill every team he
had on the place. To this the General
replied that he had no power to pre-
vent the Africans from going on with
their work, and that the planters only
relief would be to obtain new supply
of stock. If all the freedmen labored
with the same energy we think there
would be no fears about the high price
of cotton.-NushvilleP Press.

There are two kinds of sleep--the
complete and the incomplete. Com
plete sleep is temporary metaphysical
death, though not an organic one The
heart and lungs perform their offices
with their accustomed regularity. It
is characterized by torpor Of the or
gans Of the brain, of the external SEN
ses, and of voluntary motions. Incom-
plete sleep is the activity of one or
more of the cerebrian organs, while
the others are i'll repose this occasions
dreaming


Sleep is variously affected by health
and disease. Man in time of health
sleeps TRANQUILITY. He arises in the
morning, refreshed and prepared to go
forth to his daily labor. New strength
is given him; languor is gone; and all
the faculties, both mental and corporal
are recruited. But the sleep of disease
is far different. 1t is short and unre-
freshing, disturbed by fearful sighs and
frightful dreams.


Stupor and sleep are different, tho
supposed by some to be syt1onomous
In both there is insensibility; but it is
easy to wake person from sleep, while
it is sometimes almost impossible to
arouse one from stupor tt is frequent
ly the case in sickness that the patient
lies for several days in stupor totally
insensible.


Though sleep be natural and neces-
sary to the languid mental and cor
poreal faculties, yet it is frequently
brought on by some external cause
Heat produces sleep. We witness it
in the summer season; it is common
to see the laborer' deyoting an hour in
the heat of the day to sleep. A heated
church and dull sermon are almost sure
to bring sleep. The frrut of tla church
might be resisted, but the sermon is If
resistible-its monotony falls in leadeh
accents on the ear, and subdues the
most powerful attention Variety,
whether in sight Or sound, prevents
sleep; while excessive monoto1y of all
kinds is apt to induce it. Excessive
cold as well as heat, produces Sleep
A person without sufficient clothing on
his bed will find it difficult to sleep at
night; but it is fact that sleep. is pro-
duced before death, when freezing takes
place.

be admitted that some of these -7ecdotes

was of q Jew furniture dealer, who had re-
