Ilufelund, in his treatise on sleep, has some curious as well as forcible ideas ou the necessity of devoting midnight to rest and sleep. He considers that the period ot twenty-four hours, which is produced by the revolution of the earth on its axis, marks its influence most definitely on the physical economy of man Diseases show this regular influence in their daily rise and fill. Settled regular fevers exhibit a twen ty-four hour flux and reflux. 1n a healthful state, there is manifest the same regular influence, and the more habitual our meals, our hours of exercise or employment, and our hours ol sleep, the more power is there in the system to resist disease. In the morning, the pulse is slower, the nerves calmer, and the mind and body fitted for every description of labor. As we advance towards the evening of the day the pulse becomes accelerated, and an almost feverish state is produced, which, in excitable peo ple, becomes an absolute evening fever.— llest carries oft' this fever by its sleep, and the refreshing opening of its pores which sleep produces. lu this nightly respira tion, there is an absolute crisis of this evening fever, and this periodical crisis is necessary to every one, for it carries oft" whatever useless or pernicous particles our bodies may have imbibed. This evening fever, Ifufoland thinks, is not entirely owing to the accession of new chyle to the system, hut to the sun and of the light. The crisis of this fever, to he most effective by regularity, ought to take place at midnight when the sun is in its nadir, and then the body becomes refreshed for the early morning labor. Those who neglect this period, either push this diur nal crisis into the morning, and thus under mine the importance of its regularity, or lose it entirely, and arise to their labors tin freshed by sleep. Their bodies will not have been purified by the nightly crisis, and seeds of disease will thus have been planted. Nervous people are peculiarly subject to the influence of this evening fever, and think they cannot labor without its excite ment. Hence their mental efforts are per formed in the night alone, the important time for the crisis of their nervous excite ment passes over in wakefulness and no re freshing perspiration cleanse-- the body or strengthens the nerves. Pitch people will wear out -oon unless they change their habits and seek rest when nature and the human constitution dictate. These considerations ought to be deeply studied and regarded by all who are in the ruinous habit of turning night into day, and of changing the functions of each. A failure of health will soon manifest the truths of the.-.o remarks.— Hartford Cour anf. A FKMALK IJKA It lirXTKR. A work on 44 Oriental and Western Li beria" has just been published in Ijondon, some extracts of which and among others the following appear in the London Athe ncum. The people there are mighty hun ters, but mightiest among them all was Anna Petrovnaia, the scourge of bears — young, slim, firm-footed, pretty, powerful and active. In girlhood -he had started out to emulate Iter brothers and bring home a bearskin. It was the practice of this Amazon to track the terrible game herself, and once, hearing that a huge black bear had been seen in a neighboring forest, she rose before dawn, rode thereto, and dis mounted, and found his trail: 4 - There was a heavy dew on the grass in the open glades, and she observed that Bruin was taking his morning rambles, his track being quite fresh. Looking to the priming of her rifle and adding powder to her flask, she went on with a firm step. — The bear had made many turnings on his march, but she followed him with all the sagacity of a blood-hound, and never once lost his trail. Hour after hour passed, however, and she had not caught a glimpse of him. As it threatened to be a long chase, Anna had recourse to her little bag, sat down by a small stream and made her breakfast on a piece of rye bread, washed down with a draught from the pure liquid flowing at her feet. Having ended her frugal meal, she shouldered her rifle and pushed on. She had another long and fruitless walk. Satisfied, however, that she was on his track, she pursued it till she arrived at a bed of high plants, that inclu ded the giant fennel, of the flowers of which the bears are very fond. "While proceeding along the edge of this bed, a fresh indication, well known to hun ters. assured her that the long sought for game was at hand. As she was creeping cautiously forward, out rushed the bear, with a loud growl, about twenty yards in front. Quickly she threw forward the prongs of her rifle, dropped on her knee and "got a good sight, the animal staving at her, almost motionless. .She now touch ed the trigger, there followed a flash, a sav age growl succeeded, then a struggle for a minute or two, and her wish was accom plished —the bear lay dead . After taking off his skin, she started in search of her horse, which she found at no great distance; for she had been brought back nearly to i the spot where she commenced the chase. THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1858. She was .shortly on her way home, and as tonished her family on her entrance to the cottage, by throwing the skin on the floor. Since this time, Anna Petrovnaia has en gaged with and killed sixteen bears." Drunkenness and Insanity. —The follow ing statistics show that insanity exists in all countries in the ratio of drunkenness; —lll Holland and Belgium the consump tion of intoxicating drinks is two gallons to every individual, and there is one luna tic to every 3000 people; in France the consumption is five gallons to every indi vidual, and there is one lunatic to every 000 of the people; in Normandy three and a half gallons of intoxicating drinks are consumed by each individual, and there is one lunatic to every 7f>o of the people; in America three gallons are consumed by ! each individual, and there is a lunatic to every 050 of the people; in Kngland three gallons are consumed by each, and there is a lunatic to every 800 of the people; in Scotland four gallons are consumed by each, and there is a lunatic to every 070 of the people; in Ireland there are five and a half gallons consumed hv every man. woman and child, at least that amount in propor tion to population, and there is in that I country one lunatic to every 550 of the people. A Brutal H rent lion. —A revolting scene recently took place in the city of Cologne at an execution. A woman convicted of the murder of her husband was to lie de capitated by the guillotine. She was placed iir proper position by the execution er. hut the knife instead of descending perpendicularly took an oblique direction, and was buried deep in the victim's -boul der blades. A defect was found in the machinery, a blacksmith had to be sent for, and a full half hour elapsed before the in strument was retired. At the second descent of the knife, the spectators were horrified to observe that the instrument again missed its aim and entered the shoul ders of the unfortunate criminal. Some time again elapsed before, at the third at tempt, the instrument fairly separated the head from the shoulders. It appears that, the executioner had been but recently ap pointed, and wa- not sufficiently versed in the minutire of hi? art. D"ith of a Widoi'- at I'rayers. —A lady named Catharine Gray, who resided in Newark, N. J., fell dead.in her house, at an early hour on Tuesday morning, while at Prayer. Her death is attributed to grief and depression of spirits hv the death of her husband, who wa- lost hv the wreck of the Centra! America, on which lie was a passenger. Both the death of herself and husband have been occasioned hv the delay in the reception of a letter by her husband, who was in California. He sent a letter containing a check tor 825 ft, and stated that when she acknowledged its re ceipt he would forward another. By some mean- the letter was delayed, and a num ber of* steamer.-, having arrived since he wrote, without bringing him an answer from his wife, he f.-tired that something was wrong, and took passage home in the ill lilted Central America, anil met a waterv grave. Three children, the eldest hut two years old, are left orphans. . I Cn%r of Destitution. —A friend told us a lew days since of a case of destitution, in a neighboring township, such as we were not prepared to hear of in our county.— Our informant was called upon to make a coffin lor a girl of about 1-1 or Hi years of age, who had died. When lie went to the house, he found no furniture of any de scription in the same; the-mother had no shoes or stockings, nothing hut a thin cal ico dress, and the children were no better clad than she was. There was not a bite of food in the house, and starvation was staring them in the face, and it is feared that this was the real affliction which cau sed the poor girl's death. Our informant immediately went to work among the neigh bors, and collected provisions to supply their present urgent wants. — Clearfield Journal. Make a H?;/ inning. —Remember, that in all things, if you do not begin, you will never come to an cud. The first weed pulled up in the garden, the first seed set in the ground, the first shilling put in the savings hank, and the first mile travelled in a journey, arc all important things— they make a beginning, and thereby a hope, a promise, a pledge, an assurance that you are in earnest with what you have under taken. How many a poor, idle, erring, hesitating outcast is now creeping and crawling his way through the world, who might have held up his head and prosper ed, if, instead of putting off his resolutions of amendment and industry, he had only made a beginning. Waff'A German prince, in a dream, see ing three rats —one fat, the other lean, and the third blind—sent for a celebrated Bo hemian gypsy, and demanded an explana tion. "The fat rat," said the sorceress, "is your prime minister, the lean rat your people, and the blind rat yourself." A man in Rhode Island lately com mitted suicide by hanging himself two days after he had married a girl thirteen years of age.
