HAS AL MUSIC. v'lTeaven bless the man that invented sleep," qnoth honestSanco Panza, and many a poor mortal baa reiterated the pious benison of the famous Governor of Baritaria. What a Godsend this great invention has proved to tbe noble army of poets, and authors, and clergymen, and orators of every sort, who would be altogether unendurable but for this never-failing resource. Banish it from the world and what a "beggarly account of empty boxrs" we should have at our lecture rooms and on all public occasions, and what a vast number of ''Sonnets to a young lady Keeping," ard such like would be entirely lostto the world. But for the deep1 sleep which fell upon Adam, we should never have bad that most glorious of all institutions woman. Somebody has remarked that it was a blessed thing Adam bad a good nap on that occasion, for he probably never enjoyed a quiet one afterwards. Not being a benedict I am unable to pronounce this a slander on my own responsibility. The Irish have a legend that when a child miles in its sleep the angels are hovering over and whispering to it. Pierce Pungent thinks - differently. He cites the case of a poetic young lady, who said as her infant nephew smiled, Dear little one the cherubs are singing to it." 'Nonsense Polly," cried the matter of fact mo-Iher, "it's not the cherubs it's tbe colic," Pierce declares that there is an intimate relationship between "wind, sleep and peppermint," and tells ns of something he read in an ancient volume of a certain Mrs. G. who couldn't rleep on account of tbe terrible wind which was blowing out of doors. "Horace, myjove, how dreadfully the wind howls; don't you bear it; I can't sleep for ic" "My dear," said her better half, who was a philosopher, "open the window and put a peppermint lozenge outside.". But the wind is not the: only disturber of dreams. There is a certain class-ef sleep destroyers veritable Macbeths who "murder sleep" and think no more of it than does Miss" of breaking a heart your fellows who make night hideous with their nasal music which seems to quiet their own nerves in as great a degree as it excites other people's. Now, I insist that a great reform is needed in this matter. Snorers should either be made to correct this abominable habit or some law ought to be enacted compelling them to "keep them, selves to themsel ves." After one has established a reputation for tbe business, be is generally avoided by his acquantances, but, unfortunately such fellows travel sometimes. Did yon ever watch a confirmed snorer worm himself into the food graces of a stranger, who, totally unsuspicious of the trap be is falling i ito, agrees to hare a room with him? Poor fellow! he little knows what a night is before him. Why can't this thing be corrected in early life? Children are taught propriety in other matters, and why should not the heinousoess of this offence against good manners be pressed npon them? - Has a parent who sends out a confirmed snorer fulfilled the scripture injunction: "Train np a child in the way he should go"? I contend that no man has a right to go out into the world with an unruly nose, which will not allow others to enjoy their natural rest. - Night is a blessed gift of heaven to man: "It robs the world of light, To lend in lieu a greater benefit, Repose and sleep. ' It is the season of rest and refreshment after the labors, and cares, and troubles of the day; and when we put out the candle we at the same time desire to put out the world, "why then should' he who robs ns of this clear and indisputable right be held leas culpable than he who filches from ns our good name, or steals our purses? I shall ever remember an awfal night passed at a poblie hotel on a recent visit to a neighbor- ', in town. The evening was warm and I came ia tired and sleepy. There was a bright moon shining, and its silvery beams came ia the open windows and made the room almost as bright as day. There were too beds in the apartment. I w a strange pair of boots and apparel not my , own along-eida of them, and I knew at once that I had a room-mate, but it caused me no uneasi- - Bess, for I had no well-filled purse or other rala-atls to tempt the -cupidity of the yeriest pick-T081 'a Undj er I turned in quietly, ?to V leA perchance to dream. I ant of that on-f;rt5Bt class who caonot a once iai into Ijodrir (ymnmmcations state of unconsciousness. I always have a job of ihinking to do, and generally enter dream land by degrees. On this occasion I bad almost gotten within its boundaries, when a sound as of far distant thunder stole upon my ear. I listened but all was silent : again. Once more I approached the land of Nod, and again I heard the meterings of the thunder, but this time not so distant. At first the sound was faint and indis tinct, and then it broke forth more loudly. There was no mistaking it now. It teas a snore, and it came from the oilier bed! Sleep had departed from my eyelids and I rose on .ray elbow in the agony of despair. From my earliest youth just such! fellows as this one had been my secret horror, and now I was in for it without hope of release. My neighbor, as if aware of my feelings, got worse and worse. He seemed to warm with his subject and his snoring became almost eloquent I came near forgetting the dreary prospect before me in my admiration of the artist. His snoring was the perfection of science. His inspirations were like a flute; his expirations like an ophicleide. Sometimes bis breath grew short as if he contemplated dying in a fit, and then it became long and 'sonorous like the whistle of a locomotive. In a word it was the most awfully magnificent specimen of nasal .music I had cr ever have heard. Bat human endurance has its limits, and mine was soon reached. My patience, not a large supply at any time, was, like Bob Acre's courage, fast ooztng out at my fingers', end. Should I endure it passively, or take up arms against such "a sea of troubles and by opposing end them." Was there anthing in the laws of society which required me to allow this fellow this fellow to make night hideous at my expense? Such thoughts ran through my brain, and things were fast approaching a crisis, when the subject of my cogitations turned over and bis music ceased. For a moment the silence was almost oppressive, but I thanked ray stars for the change. Now, thought I, for a good nap, and composed myself for it. When you are nervous and worried at night, it is said to be a good plan not to think about going to sleep, if you can help it, So I began to build air-castles, in tbe hope that slum ber would gradually steal over me. I had succeeded in rearing one pretty high, and was about to introduce my imaginary lad ye-love. into it, when i bat game muttering, as of distant thunder, smote my ear. I recognized it in a moment, and down tumbled the air-castle, burying my ladye-love in its ruins. The second part of the programme was like nnto the first," and the performance was coniinoed almost without variation until . "Gray morn cam' b llnkin in the east." Before sunrise thanks to an early morning train my mortal enemy was. called to get up. He made his toilet as innocently as if his conduct during the night had not been past all forgiveness. He even "hoped I had passed the night pleasantly." ;: I detected, - or thought I did, a slight touch of sarcm in his tone, and shall always believe that be knew what kind of a night I had spent. I may never see him egain. but the memory of that wretched . nocturnal- sweltering will never leave me. If he ever journeys the way I do again I trust he will leave his nose at home. B.

Tt is a good Agricultural country; our crops here are about the same as with you Wheat, Oats, Corn, Barley, &c. There is very little fall Wheat sown Jiere. Tbe most of oar ploughing is done in the fall, which gives ns an early start in the Spring. Wheat is the first thing sown and yeilds from 10 to 25 bushels per acre. - Of course last season is not to be taken into account, for there were a great many acres would not pay for cutting.

TThe following brief sketch of the three sover eigns of Europe, and chiefs in the present European war we copy, with tbe exception of some slight al terations, from the .Philadelphia Press. 1 ..- FRANCIS JOSEPH, EMPEROR OF ACSTRIA. Francis Joseph Charles, Emperor of Austria, was born August 18tb, 1830. His uncle, Fredi-nand I abdicated on December 2, 1840, and this young gentleman ascended the throne, as next heir. The young Emperor commenced his reign by issuing a proclamation to his subjeets, full of promises. . Under his rule, Austria was to have freedom and a constitutional government the monarchy was to be reformed the people were to have equality of government, on tbe basis of their equal participation and legislation. Scarcely was bis signature dry on this document, when he closed the national representative assembly at Kremsier; cancelled the ancient constitution of Hungary, substituting a new charter, which, being a dead letter, was withdrawn in eighteen months; called on the aid of the late Emperor af Russia to crush all vitality of freedom in Hun gary, and, under Radetzky, suppressed all attempts at liberty in Lombardy and Venice. He made bis ministers accountable, not to the law, but personally to himself. Some few concessions be appeared to make to the masses, but in Austrian Italy his will is supreme, and in Austria he has substituted his own personal command for the wholesome restrictions of the law. He has maintained an immense army, even in time of the greatest peace, at a cost so vast that the rational resources have been greatly injured. Loan after loan, each at ruinous rates, have kept Austria in difficulties, and nnder a great weight of taxation. His latest financial measure,since the war with Sardinia commenced, was to suspend the payment, of specie by the Bank of Austria, and to create fictitious money by the issue of as-signafs. In 1854, he rook part with France and England, and against Russia. . Ever since his accession to the throne, he has treated bis Italian subjects with great cruelty. In their discontent, they looked for aid to free Sardinia, and the appeal, which has once more made France a combatant on Italion soil, and will probably drive the Austrians out of Italy, has to be decided now by force of arms. Francis Joseph is said to be well informed, bold, scheming, and unscrupulous. In April, 1854, he was married to a Bavarian Princess. In the pri vate relations of life, his conduct is said always to have been highly moral and exemplary.VICTOR EMMAXCEI., KIVO OF SARDINIA. Victor Emmanuel II. was born March 14, 1820. His mother was an Austrian princess, and his father was the late king, Charles Albert. Brought up nnder clerical instruction, Victor Emmanuel, then bearing the title of Duke of Savoy; went largely into society, bore a commission in the army, and was well known as a keen lovr of sport?. In 1842 he married the Archduchess Adelaide, of Austria, since dead.' When the French revolution of 1848 caused political commotion in Italy, the Pope actually tnking the lead as a political regenerator. King Charles Albert raised the banner of Piedmont, a few days after the Austrians were.driven out of Milan, proclaimed the war of Italian Independence. All through the campaign which followed. Victor Emmanuel sprightly, fought by his father's side, and greatly distinguished himself, on March 24, 1849, in the battle of Novarra, when the Sardinian army was de feated. That very evening Charles Albert abdi. cated, and Victor Emmanuel became King of Sardinia which kingdom really includes not only the island of Sardinia, but also Piedmont, Savoy, the Lomellina, and Genoa, all in Italy. Charles Albert retired to Portugal, where he died soon after. Little was expected from Victor Emmanuel. His subjects rather distrusted him, and, for a time, he had to encounter many internal difficulties. Austria offered him the Duchy of Parma, if he would repudiate the Constitution, to which he hadsworn, with his father, in February, 1849, but he refused the bribe. Genoa proclaimed a provisional Government against him, but he sptedily put down the emeute. After the beginning of 1850, when the Sardinian Parliament tardily ratified the peace with Austria, public confidence began to rely on the wisdom, patriotism and boldness of the Kingj. He broke with Rome, asserting the national independence of his kingdom in temporal matters, and may be said to have become independent of the Papal See, in spiritual matters, also. In January, 1853, he formed thaj alliance with France and Eoglaud, against Russia, which led to his sending a Sardinian army to the Crimea. At the close of the war he visited France and England, and was warmly received in both countries. In the Congress at Paris, to adjust the terms of Peace, af ter the Crimean War, Austria strongly objected to Sardinia being represented there by a Minis ter. This was overruled, on the ground that having fought, Sardinia had earned a right, to have a voice in the terms of peace. Victor Emmanuel, a bold and dashing soldier, commands in person during the present campaign. . T-OTJIS XAPOLEOH EM PESOS OF FSA.KCJE. ; Biographical particulars relating to Napoleon in are so well knowa by newspaper readers, that! it seems superfluous to give .any here.1 Louis Napoleo n was born at the ; Tuilleries in Paris, April 20, 1808, was the second; son of Louis Bonaparte King of Holland, and : Hortense Beauharoais, only daughter of the Empress Jo sephine. After th fall ? of Napoleon L, the Bc Baparte fsmily iad to live tmt of France. Louis Napoleon, with his elder brother aod mother, Er- ed in Switzerland when the Revolution of July placed Louis Phillippe on the throne if France. In the following year, Louis Napoleo and his brother went to Italy, where both took jart in an insurrection at Rome. The brother; died the same year. From 1832 to 1835, Louis Napoleon who by the death of his cousin, the King of Rome, had become bead of the Napoleon family devoted bimseif to study, and produced several works, political and military.' Hisilanoel sur i'Artillerie," has been highly spoken pf by military men, and we believe that it is no used as a text book at West Point. ly - In 1836, took place Louis Napoleon's nnsnc cessful attempt to get np a revolution at Strasbourg. He was sent out of tbe country, and was recalled fro n the United States by the alarming state of bis mother's health. In 1138, being driven out of Switzerland, on the lemand of Louis Phillippe, he went to reside in jpndon. In 1830 be published Des Idees Xapfjlionnes, a fine translation of which has just bee issued by the Appletons, at New York. In 1840 he made that unsuccessful descent npon Boulogne, which consigned him, a political prisoner, the Fortress of Ham. In 1846 he escaped 4 England where he remained until the Revolution of 1848 recalled him to France, and soon placed him in the Presidential chair there. On December 2, 1851, in consequence of a knowledge ((hat his op-poeuts meditated a heavy blow at his authority' he executed thecow d'etat which Overthrew the National Assembly, and caused his election, first as President for ten years, and next as Emperor with successton of his family. Be waj proclaimed Emperor on Decembers, 1852, and immediately after married Eugenie, Countess de Teba. His recognition as Emperor was immediate on the part of the United States and England, and rather tardy by the German States. In 1853 he entered into an alliance with England, Austria and Sardinia, against Russia, which resulted in 1854 in the Crimean war and the defeat of Rus sia. Allied with Sardinia, he now makes war against Austria, according to his own solemn declaration, as the Champion of Italian Independr ence. ' fit may be added that the Prince Napoleon, so often mentioned, is the son of the Emperor's uncle, Jerome. nomtiBan ilkctcks rjf Tcii. Humboldt's Appearance and Character. Bayard Taylor, the Traveler, who has enjoyed the society of Ihe great Humboldt, has fursUhed to the press the following Interesting sketch of the personal appearance and chatacter of the world-famous German. '-.?. 'v.. In person, Humboldt Vas short, strongly built, yet without any approach to corpulency. During the last years of his life, he carried his head bent, with stooping shoulders, as if his body had not vigor enough to hold up the weight of the knowb edge contained in his massive brain. Yet in the prime of life,, when perfectly ereit, his bight could not have been more than five feet, six inches. His bead was large and marked by a beautiful simmetry, his forehead smooth and un wrinkled, and the blue eyes as soft, steady, and clear as those of a child. His sight was perfect, enna-bling him to read the finest print without specta cles.-.'."" . .' ' - ' His-nose and mouth were of the heavy Teuton. ic type, and the expression of his face fully accorded with th truth, consistency and benignity of his character. No person could "have seen him without being inspired with : an immediate personal regard for him. In the castle at Tegel, the patrimony of the Humboldt family hangs a picture-representing him in his 35th year, on the side of Chimborazo. He there anDears rather slender, but with the same massive head and clear blue eyes, and with thick brown locks. In another portrait, at the age of 50, his hair ia already enow-white. His countenance changed very little after that period, the skin still remaining smooth, and with a fresh, healthy tint. He died through the gradual decay of his phyi sical faculties, retaining bis mental powers to the last. As late as 1858, he was accustomed to labor frequently for sixteen hours at a time, and the last published volume of "Cosmos" exhibits no signs of an enfeebled intellect The first shock bis constitution received was given to it by successive attacks of influenza, a disorder very prevalent in Berlin. He had noticed the slower and more difficult action of his physical functions, had perceived the gradual diminution of his vital powers, and in the summer of 1858 made a calculation that if they continued to give way steadily in the same ratio, his death must take place this year. Probably no distinguished man of this century with the exception of Beranger, surpassed Hum boldt in simplicity, honesty and native dignity of character; Though a born nobleman, the confidential friend of his king, and the accepted equal of the monarchs of Europe, bis sympathies were with the liberal party, and he never hesitated to express them. While his summers were passed in the Royal Palace at Postdam, he occupied apartments in the bouse of his own servant in Berlin, during the winter. So well were his political predilections known, that at the Congress of Vienna, of which . he was a member, when he had proposed some temporary measure which had an arbitrary character, the Emperor Alexander I. exclaimed: "And it is yon arch republican as you are, who propose such a despotic meestfre." - - ' . - r?..-i ' Like Washington's Humboldt's mind was ie beautifully symmetrical, that it. would be easy' to point put many men who went beyond him in partiealar departments of scieace.; Be was too great ia all to be specially distisgu is bed, and in the extent ' of hU labors, as well as the amount of his sacrifices ia the acqnisition of knowledge, he has never been surpassed by any man.' His life has been a splendid success. He has enjoyed the unbounded respect and admiration of three" generations, and bow the world mourns- in him thai loss of hel greatest Interesting fcktir. A Biver of Fire Banning1 into the Sea. The late eruption of the great mountain of Manna Loa, in the Sandwich Islands, of which we have all read, was one f the most terrific on record. The amount of lava discharged was enormous. The fiery river, on the fifth day of the eruption, reached the sea, forty miles distant Tbe scene is thus described: . Then the torrent of fire precipitated itself in to the ocan, the scene, assumed a character of terrific and indescribable grandeur. The mag neficence of destruction was never more perceptibly displayed than when these antagonistic ele ments met in deadly strife. The mightiest of earth's magazines of fire poured fourth its burning billows to meet the mightiest of ocean. For two score miles it came rolling, tumbling, swelling -forward, an awful agent of death. Rocks melted like wax in its path; forests crackled and blazed before its fervent heat; the yerf hills were lifted from their primeval beds, and sank beneath its tide or were borne onward by its waves; the works of man are to if" but a scroll in tbe flames; nature eh ri veiled and trembled before the irresistible flow. Imagine Niagara's stream, above tbe brink of the Fall, instantaneously converted into fire, a gory hued river of fused materials; the wrecks of creative matter blazing and disappearing beneath its surface; volumes of biasing steam arising, smoking curlinar upward from ten thou sand vents, which give utterance to as many deep-toned routterings, and sullen, confined and ominous clamorings; gases detonating and shrieking as they burst, from their hot prison-house; the heavens lurid with flames; the atmosphere dark, turgid and oppressive; the horizon urky with vapors, and gleaming with the reflected contest; while cave and hollow, as the hot air swept along their heated walls, threw back the unearthly sounds in a myriad of prolonged echoes. Such was the scene as the fiery cataract poured its flood upon the ocean. The waters recoiled, and sent forth a tempest of spray; they foamed and lashed around and orer the melted rock; they boiled with the heat, and the roar of the conflicting agencies grew fiercer and louder. Tbe reports of the exploding gases were heard twenty-five miles distant. They were likened to discharges of whole broadsides of heavy artillery. Streaks of the intensest light glanced like lightning in all directions; the outskirts of the burning lava as it fell, cool ed by tbe- shock, was shivered into millions of fragments, and borne aloft bj the strong breeze! blowing toward the land, were scattered in scin-tillant showers far into the country. ' Coin of Jndas Iscariot. A gentleman of Wall-street, New York, has, according to the Evening Post, recently struck off a number of simile coins of the Hebrew Holy Shekel the piece of silver money in which Judas Iscariot was paid for his services in betraying the Savior. The present coin is from a drawing procured in Rome. The drawing is from a piece "which," says Dr. Raphael, who furnished the description, ''must have been coined during the time the Jews were sojourning in the Holy Land nnder their own kings, and contemporaneous with -the first Temple, which brings it to a period of about 700 B. C." The Hebrew characters upon "it are much like the style of our own American coin, tor while the legened upon ours reads, "United States of America," this, in the same position on the outer edge, bears the inscription, "Jerusalem the Holy." While one side bears the resemblance to Aaron's rod, as mentioned in Numbers xviL, 8, on the other, which has the imprint of the pot of incense, is inscribed in the Hebrew characters the words, "Shekel of Israel." "Judas received thirty of these pieces for the betrayal of tbe Savior of Man, as mentioned in Mathew xvii., 15. As is plainly shown by the text, they were the largest pieces of silver coined, and nothing less than thirty of them could have purchased a field in or near Jerusalem. We learn from Matthew that when Judas began to reflect that be had been the cause of shedding innocent blood, he went back to the High Priest who had given the money and paid it at his feet. But they would not let it go into the treasury of the sanctuary, and purchased Potter's Field to bury strangers, Roman soldiers and others. "According to Leviticus v., 15, this coin was one of the counts of reckoning and offering, where .the person had committed a trespass through ignorance. "Of the Censer, with the Incense thereof, full accounts is found in Leviticus x., I, when Na, dab and Abihu, ""with others of the rebellious priests, having presumptuously put strange in: cense in their censers, and went into the Taber nacle to offer, (in direct contravention of the orders of the Deity, through Aaron, the High Priest,) for which offence the ground opened aod swallowed them being the first account we have either in sacred or profane history, of an earth-quake."Two important events are thus commemorated in the history of the Israelites by tbe devi ces engraved on the piece the destruction of the rebelling priests, and the blooming of Aaron's rod." Hunfs Magazine. : Pharaoh and ITapoleon. The miraculous cleaving of the Red Sea, its walls of water on either hand of the dry passage lik ramparts, and their roinons junction after the chosen people of God . had passed through, afford a picture of sublimity unequalled1 oa the canvas that heaves with the grandest scenes of time.' The site' of this event has been pointed but from the day of its ecurreoce to the present; and in Napoleon's expeditioa to the Nile, it was near being the scene of another catastrophe that might have had an importaat in Science oo the destinies of the world. : Towards evening,' Napoleon and his suit rode into the shallow waters of the Red Sea, at the reputed spot cf Pharaoh's overthrow, desirous of 'ascertainin?' to what ex seas was .gathering, when sudJealy the tides, there extremely rapid, were upon them, aod the horses found themselves beyond their depth. Tbe point of compass was lost, the shore was not visible, and a council of war was instantly called, to decide on mearures for escape. Na poleon, by one of those derisions of mind so frequently useful to him in the future emergencies of hit eventful life, ordered a circle to be formed, and each horseman to ride from it, as a radius from a center, stopping when the depth of water prevented farther progress. The next movement was for all to follow the horsemen that rode on the farthest, Bhowing the longest path of shoal water. And this was Napoleon Bonaparte's path from the grave of one of the Pharaohs. A, Very Smgnlar Case A Dyinj Han Brought Back: to Life. One of .the most singular occurrences which sometimes happen apparently for no other purpose than to show how much persons are the sport of circumstances, took place some time ago iu tbe Seventeenth Ward. A man who had been suffering for a number of weeks from a violent illness, and whose dissolution was momentarily' expected, was reanimated to such an extent that he recovered merely by a shriek en the part of his wife. His eyes had become glassy and fixed, his jaw had fallen, tbe extremities bad become cold, and the pulse ceased to beat, when just at the moment that peculiar unearthly rattle was heard in the throat, which is the signal of the departure of tbe soul from the body his wife gave a heart piercing scream, called his name and fell fainting in the arms of her friends. The dying man turned his head and said, "Oh Jane, why did you not let me die!' and from that moment became better, and is now in excellent health. Such accidents as these only show on what a slender thread that mysterious something hangs which we call life. A wound from the point of a pin may cause a death, and as we have seen, the utterance of a single word may save a life. True, our philosophy does not even dream of all that &.-Cuicinndti Press. A Scholar's Opinion of the World. The Hon. A. B. Longstreet, the President o the South Carolina College, at Columbia, gave the graduating class of that institution, a not very cheering prospect of the world on which they were about to enter, when in his farewell address, he thus addressed them: "You are embarking upon a sf ranee world, my young friends. It banished Aristides, poisoned Socrates, murdered Cicero, and crucified the Lord of Glory. The spirit of Theraistocles, of Melius, of Anthony and Caiphas, is still in the world greatly subdued and law-bound, to be sure, but not extinguished. You may expect therefore, at times, to be depressed by your ri rals, condemned for your patriot is mL and tormented for your benefactions; to have your confidence abused, your integrity derided, and to suffer a thousand impositions in smaller matters from those whom you had a right to expect better things. - Rhubarb Wine. The New York Tribune is teaching the world how to make Rhubarb Wine not the medical compound of that name, but the fermented juice of the plant, which makes a wine as fine as pale sherry, and difficult to tell from that vintage. It is made in the same way as -current, gooseberry and blackberry wine. The plant will yield at the rate of 2,500 gallons to the acre? A fabulous amount, which leaves the cost of the wine little more than that of the sugar in the fabrication. Pmrs 0f (Dint- P L'lV'ISIIKD BY AUTI1 OR ITT. fNo. CO.!
