The Phenomena of Sleep. Dr. Egbert Guernsey, in the June number of the Medical Union, thus discourses of sleep, from a physician's point of view: How is sleep induced, and what is the con? dition of the braiu during this period of rest which occupies near one third of our lives ? are questions not merely of curiosity but of real practical use. Either the nervous mass as a whole is quiescent, undisturbed by currents of nervous energy, or currents are still kept up, but at an even, unaltering pace. The latter conclusion seems the most plausible, and is more distinctly borne out by'facts. The ner? vous system is seldom allowed to fall into en? tire somnolence, but however profound the slumber, the mind still seems to retain waking impressions, and is to a certain extent under their influences even in sleep. A person even very much fatigued, who has previously accus? tomed himself to that self-discipline, will fall into a deep and sound slumber, and yet wake up promptly at a time specified in his wakiug moments, notwithstanding he might have slum? bered for hours had it not been for this act of the will. A gentleman, who in the prosecution of his business is obliged to travel constantly, taking the train at all hours, and catching his sleep when and where he can get it, informs me that he never has any trouble, however much fatigued he may be, in waking at any specified time. Even without this strcag exercise of the will power, the brain, however profoundly quiescent, is keenly alive to certain sounds, however oblivious it may be to others. The physician hears the first tap of his night-bell, though he might sleep on undisturbed while a band of music was playing in front of his win? dows, or the roar ot the thunder or the crash of artillery was making the windows rattle and the bed tremble beneath him. The mother starts from her deep slumber at the first cry of her child, her ear quickly catching, however pro? found may be her sleep, almost its altered breathing. It is said of a young man, a mid? shipman, wishing to commend himself to the commander, spent eighteen hours out of the twenty-four in watching and recording signals, only retiring to rest when utterly exhausted. Then his slumber was so profound that the loudest noise would produce no impression, but simply whisper in his ear the word "signal" and in an instant he was on his feet, wide awake and ready for duty. We are all familliar with a kind of waking sleep, in which a perfect still? ness or some monotonous sound lulls us into a kind of semi-unconsciousnes3. Any disturb? ing element may rouse up the currents of nerve force into full activity, but without them con? sciousness gradually disappears, according as the nerve currents .are unvaried in their degree, until sleep, more or less profound, is produced. ?; F?c$s such as we have stated are in fhvor of a certain low degree of nerve action as existing under every varietv of state, from the light sleep to the most profound. On this hypothesis, when all the currents of the brain are equally balanced and continue at the same piteh, when no one is commencing, increasing, or abating, cpneiousness or feeling is null and mind is qui esce?t. A disturbance of this state of things Wakens up the consciousness for a time; the variety or stimula in the waking state forbid? ding this perfect equilibrium from being at taiued. . Sleep is a positive necessity. It is a period of recuperation, duriug which there is a resto? ration of what has suffered collapse, waste or disturbance during the period of waking activ? ity. . The tired brain and the aching muscles regain, by rest, streugth and the power to obey the mandates of the will. The demands of the material form for rest are so great as often to defy the action of the mind. During the chol? era summer of 1S49, while practicing in the country, so constant and fatiguing were my professional labors that I have often ridden for miles on horseback fast asleep. Almost every physician in active practice during periods of epidemics, when his strength was taxed to the utmost, has dropped into sleep as I have done many times, while walking the streets. During the battle of the Nile many of the boys engaged1 in handling ammunition fell asleep even while the roar of the battle was going on around them. It is said in the retreat to Corruuna whole battallions of infantry slept while in rapid march. Even the most acute bodily sufferings are not always sufficient to prevent sleep. The worn-out frame of the victim of the Inquisition has yielded to its influence iu the pause of his tortures upon the rack, and for a moment he has forgotten his sufferings. The Indian burned at the stake, in the interval between prelimina? ry torture and the lighting of the fire, has sweetly slumbered, aud beeu only aro ised by the flame which was to consume aim curling around him. The Power of Imagination. Alexander Dumas published some time ago, in a daily Paris paper, a novel in which the heroine, prosperous and happy is assailed with consumption. All the gradual symptoms were most touchingly described, and the greatest in? terest was felt for the heroine. One day the Marquis de Dalomieu called on him. "Dumas," said he, "have you composed the end of the story now being published in the-?" "Of course." "Does the heroine die at the end?" "Of course, dies, of course, dies of consump? tion. After such symptoms as I have described, how could she live ?" "You will have to make her live. You must change the catastrophe." "I cannot." < "Yesyou must; for on your heroine's life depends my daughter's!" ''Your daughter's?" "Yes. She has all the various symptoms of consumption you have described, and watches mournfully for every number of your novel, reading her own fate in your heroine's. Now, if yoO make your heroine live, my daughter, who*e imagination has been deeply impressed, will live too. Come, a life to save is a tempta? tion?" "Not to be resisted." Dumas changed his last chapter. His he? roine recovered, and was happy. About five years afterward Dumas met the marquis at a party. "Ah, Dumas I" he exclaimed, "let me intro? duce you to my daughter; she owes her life to * you. There she is." "That fine, handsome woman, who looks like Joanne d'Arc?" "Yes; she is married and has four chil? dren." "And my novel has four editions," said Du? mas; "so we are quits." ? A contemporary says: "A newspaper and a newspaper editor that people don't talk about and sometimes abuse are rather poor concerns. The men and business that an editor sometimes feels it a duty to defend at a risk of making enemies of another class are often the very first to show ingratitude. The editor who expects to receive much charity or gratitude will soon find out bis mistake; but he should go ah f .ad and say and do what he conscientiously thinks right, without regard to frowns or smiles." ? Happy the fanner who knows the vnlue of even a small flock of sheep on the farm as a means-of keeping down the growth of bushes and weeds in his pastures. Happy the farmer who knows that sheep in an orchard are far better and more profitable than pigs. ? A Delaware father, whose son had be? come nominated for a county office, gave him his choice between with drawing his name or taking a dose of buckshot. The father said he didn't propose to be disgraced in his old age. ? "They say cotton is declining," exclaim' ed an old lady, as she removed her spectacles and laid down her paper. "I thought so," she continued, "for the last thread [ used was very, feeble." ! Profitable Politeness. The Boston Traveler, in commenting on the prevalence of rudeness, tells the following in? cident that happened some years ago: I There was a very plainly dressed elderly lady who was a frequent customer at the then lead? ing dry goods store in Boston. No one in the : store knew even her name. All the clerks but one avoided her and gave their attention to those who were better dressed and more preten? tious. The exception was a young man who had a conscientious regard for duty and system. He never left another customer to wait on the lady, but when at liberty he waited on her with as much attention as though she had been a princess. This continued a year or two until the young man became of age. One morning the lady approached the young man' when the following conversation took place: Lady?"Young man, do you not wish to go into business for yourself?" "Yes, ma'am," he responded; "but I have neither money, credit nor friends, nor will any one trust mc." "Well," continued the lady, "you go and se? lect a good situation, ask what the rent is, and report to me," handing the young man her ad? dress. The young man went, found a capital location, a good store, but the landlord required security, which he could not give. Mindful of the lady's request, he forthwith went to her and reported.* "Well," ?he replied, "you go and tell Mr. -that I will be responsible." He went, and the landlord or agent was sur? prised, but the bargain was closed. The next day the lady called to ascertain the result.? The young mau told her, but added, "What am I to do for goods ? No one will trust me." "You may go and see Mr.-, and Mr.-, and Mr.-, and tell them to call on me." He did, and his store was soon stocked with the be3t goods in the market. There are many in this city who remember the circumstances and the man. He died many years since, and left a fortune of three hundred thousand dollars. So much for politeness, so much for. civility, and so much for treating one's elders with the deference due to age in whatever garb they are clothed. Fashion in Nature axd Art.?But what i? fashion ? It is simply the common way of doing things. Things must be done. We all agree to that. The human animal was not sent furred or hairry into the world. It must dress itself. In this climate it must dress itself a good deal. The bear and the beaver have no opportunity of setting or following the fash? ions. They go in a foreordained groove. The duck's neck and the peacock's tail are wonder? ful specimens of splendor in attire, but neither duck nor peacock has any hand in the matter. To man alone is given the high art of using taste, judgment and genius in his clothes. And high art it is, in spite of all our denuncia? tions. Man and his Maker are the formers cf all the fashions of the world. Man devises his own dress. The Creator devises the dress of all the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of sea. If we are to be taught by example, there need be inherently do limit to variety and splendor of costume. So far as usefulness is concerned, all the birds might just as well be gray. Does a fish taste any better because his scales shimmer like opal in the sunshine? Man may waste himself on inveution, but he can never hope to surpass the splendor of the beetle and the butterfly. Why is the cut of a coat, the tint of a gown, unworthy of the hu? man mind, when the Creator has so clothed the grass of the field which to-day is and to? morrow is cast into the oven ? A woman trims her hat, but God made the feather. Comforts axd Luxuries of the Farm.? There is a class of farmers who are living only to grasp more acres. Their farms can never be large enough, nor can their workmen or them? selves ever do quite enough work. They can not be satisfied with the income of a farm nor could they be with that of any other business. But those who understand that the highest ob? ject of labor is not simply to make money, but to provide the largest amount of the means of improvement and innocent enjoyment that the world affords, can make the pursuit of agricul? ture furnish more luxuries th:.t really contribute to our well being, than any other employment requiring an equal amount of capital. Their farms are notso large as to make them slaves, and their wives and daughters are not worn out with incessant drudgery. Their dooryards blossom with flowers, their tables are supplied with many varieties of well grown delicious fruits, their houses are made cheerful by the in? fluence of books and music, and a taste for the pure and innocent enjoyments of life is devel? oped in their children. Here and there a far? mer's home exemplifies all the contentment ! and happiness possible to a race doomed to la , bor and disappointment. I Charcoal for Poultry.?The benefit j which fowls derive from eating charcoal is, I ! believe, acknowledged. The method of putting it before them is, however, not well understood. Pounded charcoal is not in the shape in which fowls usually rind the food, and consequently is not very enticing to them. I have found that com burnt on the cob, and the refuse, which consists almost entirely of the grains re? duced to charcoal, and still retaining their per? fect shape, placed before them, is greedily eaten, I with a marked improvement in their health, as is shown by the brighter color of their combs, and their soon producing a greater average of eggs to the flock than before. ? The Boston Post has the following little item: The noted Mississippian, Mr. G. B. Lamar, of cotton claim fame, whose death was recently announced, left by his will 8100,000 for the establishment of an asylum for indigent negroes. This is a substantial evidence in faj vor of the notion that the real friends of the black man are to be found among those who were born and raided with him and not among the canting philanthropists who have been mislead? ing him in order to use him for political and re? vengeful purposes, Mr. Lamar was an original secessionist. After the war he was pursued with unusal severity. Abused and plundered, he has only come by a part of his rights to die and make a handsome divide with his dusky old friends of the cotton patch. ? A Kentucky woman, who was repeatedly annoyed by a crusty old bachelor, who kept sending her ball away from the wicket during a game of croquet, aimed a blow at his head with her mallet, but struck and exploded a revolver in his pantaloon's pockets instead. The grand jury heard of the case, and inflicted a fine upon the cavalier for carrying concealed weapons. ? Miss Mattic Woodson, of Yicksburg, de? serves a statue. She is nineteen years of age, and a first-class farmer! She has this year planted and made a good crop of cotton, and has already picked and sold one bale at a good [.rice, while three colored laborers upon the same place have not ginned a bale. ? The New York Herald, in announcing the fact that the Democrats have elected the whole Congressional delegation in West Virginia, en? quires: "Is it that long expected and long, long delayed tidal wave? We shall know when Now York and Pennsylvania arc heard from in November." ? Mr. H. M. Stanley, chief of the New York Herald expedition for exploration in the wilds of Africa, has arrived at Zanzibar, and is now probably on his journey into the interior of that country. The Sultan of Zanzibar has received Mr. Stanley and his companions in a friendly manner. ? The tears we shed for those wo love are the streams which water the garden of the heart, and without them it would be dry and barren, and the gentle flowers of affection would perish. ? Two things you must never bet on?the verdict of a jury and the result of an election. ? Use common salt to remove egg stains from silver spoons. .?1 ggyaas ,? 8 ?8 NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief is always anxiously sought after.

"The Blood is the Life," and health own only bo enjoyed in its full perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and happiness. AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself hi different forms of diseases, such as Totte:, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Soros, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the .Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something Ik needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulastion. Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will positively effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the blood and system, aud leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any Chronic or Long Standing Disease whose real or direct cause is Bad Blood. Rheumatism, Pains in Limbs or Bones, Constitutions Broken Down by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it. For Syphilis, or Syphilictic Taint, there is nothing equal to it. A trial will prove it. It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood. Its safety and innocence have been fully tested, so that it may be administered to the 'most tender infant. ;?>jY' Beware of coun? terfeits and substitutes.
