We take more sleep than our ancestors, and we take more be- cause we want more. .Six hours’slcop will do very well for a plough man or bricklayer or any other man who has no exhaustion but that produced by manual laboi‘f,.and the sooner he takes it after the labor is over the better. But for a man Whose labor is mental, the stress of work is on his brain and nervous system, and for him who is tired in the evening with a day 01 mental application, neither early to bed nor early to rise is wholesome. He needs letting down to the level of repose. Thelonger the interval be- tucen the active use of the brain and his retirement to bed, the better his chance of sleep "and ‘refreslnnent. To him an hour after midnight is proba3 bly as good as twohours before it, and even then his sleep will not so com- pletely and quickly restore him as it will his neighbor who is physically tired. He must not only go. to bed later, but lic longer. His best sleep probably lies it: the early morning hours, 'whcn all the nervous excite- ment has passed away, and he is in absolute rest.

Miriam Leslie was listening to a “ word of advice ” from her stepâ€"father, Mr. Palmer. She was a very beautiful woman of about twenty‘two, with a face that was a rare combination of sweetness and strength. Just now the resolute mouth and expression of the large brown eyes showed that firmness, in her character predominated, though no look of temper marred the amia» bility. “ I have no power over your move- ments, Miriam,” said the old gentle- man kindly. “ You are of ago, ~ and the wealth you inherited from your father is entirely under your own con- trol ; but I am afraid you are commit- ting a grave error if you accept ‘..’ilton Seymour’s offer- I am afraid he is a man to marry money.” “ “’1ny I pass over the implied slight to my- powers of attraction ; but tell me why you think Mr. Seymour marries me for my money alone? “ I don't know that I mean that ex- actly. I know that you are young and beautiful and talented; but I think, if you had also been poor, you would not have had this offer.” “Again I ask, why do you think so 3" “ Wilton Seymour is one of that un- fortunate classâ€"4). young man will has lived upon expectations. He has beén educated and supported by an eccentric uncle, who was supposed to be enor- moust wealthy. Wilton has lived in complete idlenesshpassing thro h ‘ ’ le‘gé'wii'th utter-age? credit; ‘. --....c‘e that, moving in society, received every- where as the heir to his uncle’s money. Six months ago his uncle died, leaving his moneyâ€"~much less than was sup- posedâ€"to a hospital. Wilton accepted the situation gracefully enough, applied for a position as clerk in the wholesale house of Myers & (30., andâ€"~courted a heiress." “ You are bitter. I believe Vv’ilton Seymour to be an honorable, upright man, who loves me and who is trying to earn a support for himself, and who does not look upon 'my money either as a stimulus to his affection or an impedi- ment in the way of it.” “ I see you are determined to marry him. Well I will s‘ee that your money is settled on yourself." , “ I love my future husband too well to offer him an insult. My money will purchase him a junior partnership with Myers 6:. Co." " He has told you that‘l " “No. Mr. Myers informed me that he could be admitted into the firm if he had a capital of ten thousand poundsâ€"â€" only a small portion of my money." The remainder will still remain where it is, subject to \Vilton's check and control." “This is sheer insanity l I never heard of such folly." Miriam’s face grew very sweet as a look came into her-soft brown eyes, of devotion and trust. - - “ If I am willing to trust myself, my whole future happiness in Wilton’s hands, my money is of. little conse- quence. If he cannot win my confidence sufficiently to control my fortune, do you think he can rule my love-.my- self ’l " Mr. Palmer moved uneasily in his chair. “ I wish you would listen to reason," he said; "‘ I am truly speaking for your own gem.” . . “ Iknow that, _ After ‘nine years of such love as myown father would have given me had he lived; after seeing your sincere grief for my .Inother's death, your affection for, my little step sisters-your Own childrenâ€"never sur- passing that you showed to me, do you think that I do not appreciate your motives? I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your advice; but my whole future happiness is involved in this decision, and I believeI am decid- ing to secure it." “ I sincerely hope so. If in the future you find I was right, remember I claim father’s right to comfort you, and this is a father's home to receive you.” I ' .Too much moved by the old man’s solemn‘tone to reply in words, Miriam pressed her lips upon the kind fans that locked into her own. ‘ -“ There, my dear," he said gently. .“ I have spoken as I felt it my duty to Seymour, who will become my son when he becomes your: husband. Get your finery ready and we will have a happy Wedding. God bless you, Miriam.” Two hours later, Wilton Seymour l l speak. Now we will‘ write to Mr- ‘Miriam‘,’ with regard to money. I can- not consent to this. In‘ time' I may prove. how entirely I disregarded wealth when my offer was made to you. It is true, we must have waited longer before I could offer you a' home, but I may win my way to fortune yet.” .He lifted his young noble head as he spoke, tossing the dark calls from such a frank manly face, so full of bravo bright resolution, that Miriam wonder- ed in her heart how anyone could look into his eyes and suspect him of mer- cenary thoughts or desires. She said nothing in answer to his .impetuous speech, only smiled and l l nestled her hand into his. She was not a. carressing womanâ€"rather coy in her' sweet, maiden dignit ; but where she gave love and ooufid nos she gave them fully and freely. The days of botrothal sped rapidly. During the day Wilton stood at his desk; figuring over massive lodgers and dreaming of future happiness, and Miriam selected her house, furnished it, and kept dressmakers,seamstressea and milliners busy. She had‘ no ob~ jection to her step-father's wish to have house and furniture settled upon her- self, but she was resolute about the left subject in the control of her future husband. Busy days were followed by happy evenings. The young people were favorites in Society, and friends would insist upon social festivities to celebrate the betrothal. The quiet home even- ings were pleasant beyond, these, when two loving hearts learned to read each other. While W'ilton such respect to his worth and manliness as made her future look brighter every day. i But the days of betrothal were short. A gay wedding, a. happy tour, am the young people came home to settle own in the new handsome house as qpiet married folks. u- . g Two years of happiness follow â€"â€" . Wilton was rapidly rising in the o. of business men. having purch. H 701‘ partner in f _ a J... ‘9 __¢ ' I request; But although 2. business, he was no mere ing money as the only on 3n t a " life. Miriam found him ever a wiuing escort to party, ball or opera, and the evenings were given to music, or'read- ing, or such bright intellectual ,inter- course as had its power of mutual attraction before their marriage.- of}: There were sage peeple who shook their heads at the young wife's extrava- gance, but Wilton seemed most happy when she‘ was gratifying some new whim or desire, and she had never known the need of economy; Money had always been at her com- mand, and there was no restraint upon expenditure. For fine dress she cared but little, though she was tasteful, her costumes were always rich and uppropri-' ate but she was generous and chzuitable, lchd to collect exquisite trifles of art around her, ’putronised rising artists, and found no difficulty in exhausting her liberal income eachpycar. ’, It was during the third year of her married life Miriam began to find a cloud upon the former bright happiness of her married life. \Vilton Was changed. In those three Words the loving heart of the young wife Summed up all her forebodings. He had been the sunlight of her life, loving, tender and thoughtful ; but it__beoame evident to her that some absorbing interest was gradually winning him from her, side. . Evening after evening he left her on one pretext or another, ofttimes staying away from her till long after midnight. His sleep became restless and broken, and some absorbing care kept his face pale, his eyes clouded, his manner grave. Miriam met over a tender caress, a loving word; but she went alone if she sought society; she missed the pleasant home intercourse ; and a strange dull fear crept into her heart. Wilton was becoming miserlyl He denied her nothing, but would sometimes sigh heavily ifshe challenged his admiration of some new dress er. ornament, and it was evident he was curtailing his personal expenses to the merest necessities. Too proud to com- plain, Miriam suffered silently, praying that she might not learn to dispise her husband as a more money making machine. At first she endeavoured to win his confidence, but he kindly evaded her inquiries, and she made no further efforts. But home grew distasteful, missing the companionship that had made the hours there fly so swiftly. She hadl never ’felt ‘lIoIIsehold' cares, trusting everything to an experienced house- keeper. She had no children towaken mother love or care, so 'she plunged . into fashionable follies, and tried to for-I get her loneliness. Never had her toilet been chosen with more faultless taste; never had her beauty been more marked than it now became, and she sought for excitement as she had never done in the first happy year of her marriage. promised happiness. hulking- at this- lman asjie held the hand, so soon to fade grew daily paler and thinner and ' become his own, no one could doubt. his :‘ffiBnUAnY , 13, 1374 ' ' awry. . , , l.-. entirely apart. the carriage friend’s.

It was long before she spoke, but when she did, her eyes were.bright, and her voice clear and firm. ’ ' “ The house is mine ’1 ” sho asked. “Certainly.

The estimated total expense is $40,000,00. and tho roba ble revenue lobe desired, it is elicv ed, will reach about $4 000,000 per year. With regard to ventilation, the ordinary arrangements for making a draft as'used in mines will be em- ployed. One of the ends ofthe tun- nel will be permanently open; the other will be provided with doors which will have to be opened to admit the passage of trains when neceSsary. , Just within the doors, a largo orifice will be opened to the summit of the vault of the tunnel and in communi. cation with a fire. By the draft thus caused, the. air will be constantly drawn in from the open end of the tunnel and hence continually renewed. The demand 'for a concession pro sented by the Anglo-French Commis- sion, says Les filondes, is now under public consideration at Arms, in the Pas do Calais, and it is believed that the execution of the project will before long, be begun. ON».â€" A Story of Waywardness. The Chicago Tinvs tells a story of the beautiful and accomplished daugh- einnati, who two years ago, gradust ed at a fasionable boarding school in Philadelphia. In the summer follow- ing she flirted at Saratoga, led the German at the Branch, sang in pub- lic at Ryo Beach and was a very siren at West Point. After a time, howâ€" ever, she began to lose caste. Her genteel visitors fell off, and their ab- sence was supplied by adventurers and disreputable soldiers of fortune. The parlors of her elegant mansion that had gli'tered with beauty and chivalry and resounded to the sonatas ofMozart and Haydn, gave place to the cork opera, and after ‘a time she secretly left her home and undcra false name appeared upon the stage as a ballet girl. For a season she was oblivious to the view of the public, and her actions were being forgotten until one evening during the engage- ment of Lawrence Barrett in Chicago, she electrified a theatrical audience by appearing before the footlights in a subordinate part of thou-agedy of “Julius Caesar.” Her friends endeavfid to persuade her to return to her home, and her grief-stricken father offered to settle $10,000 on her as soon as she renounc- ed her wayward life. She refused to listen to theso cntreaties, however, and again she disappeared from view, and nothing morc was heard of her until last week, when a Chicago po- liceman rescued her from a drunken brawl in which she was an active pardcipant. Upon learning who she was, the girl’s parents were promptly notified, and she will now be released from custody only on condition ofre- turning teller family, who are still ready and willing to receive her. «1â€" 's... 4,... 3 V ‘ gauwgm .m n.

The-partv brought a sail boat into requisition, but had not beenl‘long upon the Niagara before the boat was capsized by a sudden squall. Thc'men \vero thrown out, but managed to gain a footing on the ice, which was being rapidly borne down the river. already mentioned, and their pitiful crys for help attracted a great many people to the shore. The crowd were “bewildered with terror, and found them- selves absol-utely powerless in render aid. The ice was running with relent- less swiftncss and the rescue of the men seemed to admit of no delay. The greatest excitement prevailed and the unfortunate trio were considered doom- ed. In this extremity a. man Was sud- denly despatched from the Iron 'Works for the Grand Island Ferry tug Ads, and. to the summons for help, Capt. AdamHartman responded with alacrity. His boat had, barely fuel for a mile’s travel, and, he could not have anticipaâ€" ted for her anything but a severe strug- gle with the swift current, the heavy ice and the gale that had set in, but he resolve‘d'upon prompt action and went as speedin as possible to the rescue. .He pursued the men, down the river, but before he could reach the Hoes upon “Which they drifted, one of the party, Joseph Giroux, fell into the angry waters and was seen no more. The. other two were rescued a short distance this side of La Salle, and when taken oil” were badly frozen and completely exhausted. They could not have main- tained their ground many minutes long- or, and altogether they must have been of death. Th: unfortunate Giroux leaves a wife to mourn his unti nely taking off.-â€"Buflalo Courier, Jan-24. The ,Romance of Reality. A Widow of seventy years died in Portsmouth the other day, the truth of whose life was stranger than any fiction. At- the ageof eighteen she married the co of her heart, a young son cap» , and after a brief and happy honey- moon, he led; her for a foreign voyage. ' ’ ship was never he‘sp‘d‘from, and; , " i I ' Is)“ on v” -..V I 6; home, Elayfully threw u‘O‘ ‘ ‘ a pair of stock- ings backward over his head, to test some sailor’s charm or other, and they chanced to land‘on the top of a canopy bedstead, he remarked,â€" “Sarah, let them stay there till I come back.” ' Any many and many a long year they have laid there, but, alas! he never returned. But neither love, nor hopes, nor expectations, ever. died in her faithful heart during all the many years of her lonely pilgrimage. To the last, whenever a door opened. or a step was heard approaching, she turned to see if it might not be he whom she mourned and sought. But he never came again to herâ€"let us hope and trust that she has‘gone to him. By her desire she was buried in her wed- ding dress, with white gloves and wedding ring. ' “ - A Child’s Memory. VVlIen a child is endowed with that most excellent thing â€"a good memory~ common sense should teach his guard- ians or instructors that he must be. restrained from overtaxing it; yet we read that a certain lad aged twelve years, repeated in Sunday school, with- out one blunder, five hundred and fif- teen verses from the Bible. \Vhat makes the accomplishment of this fact the more remarkable is the fact that the poor child is usually employed dur- ing the day, and memorized these verses by the light of a fire built in his yard at night. It may also be mentioned that he has never attended any other than a Sunday school. Now the question is this : What pur- pose does such a gigantic strain upon memory serve? The pcrcocious boy probably repeats his lesson as a parrot might, without in the least understand- ing that, which he recites ,' whereas, by thoroughly learning half a dozen verses he not only understands what he learns, but reserves)» a’ useful,,faculty for profitâ€" able uses. ._,.~ MM ' Ar this season ofthc year, when so many of our people Eire suffering from colds, we call attention to Arm‘s CHERRY PECTORAL as a sure cure not only for coughs and colds, but all affections of the lungs and throat. Having used it in our family for many years. we can speak from per- sonal knowledge of its efficiency. There may be other remedies that are good, but in all our cnperience this has proved to baby far the best. Its qualities are uniform and wholly re- liable. It is pleasant to take, and should be kept at command, by every family, as a protection against a class of 00mplaints which seem harmless in the beginning, but become afflictâ€" ing and n-ngerous if neglected.-â€"â€".M .
