Habit is everything. We have all lionnl
tho story ol the man who slept above a
baker's oven for twenty years, then changed
his lodgings, but had to go back to the oven
before be could sleep. A caso illustrating
tho same princtnlo is reported in Ohio. A
city man, accustomed to lodge on ouo of the
noisiest streets, visited a county friend.
Too much quiet disturbed his lest at night.
His friend felt for his distress, and said he
would try and relieve it. Accordingly he
went to a neighbor's und procureJ a bass
drum, which he bent under the euest's bed
room window, and hnj bis boy run u squeak
ing wheelbarrow up nud dowu on the porch,
while his wife pltiyed on the piano, and his
servant girl pounded on the chamber dour
with tho tongs. In this mauner the sufferer
was enabled to get two or three hours o'
quite refreshing sleep, though it was heavy
on tho family.

A 'J'hi llliig Adventure.
Tho Cleveland Herald, of Monday siyh:
On Saturday evening u thrilling adventure
beiel the messenger in charge of tho car of
the American Express Company, ou tbo
night express train from Erio to this city.
Shortly ufter leaving the former place l:e
discovered to bis consternation that the cou
tents of tin car were ou lire. The car was
packed full of Iheu.-unl assortment of express
heights, consisting principally of dry guoJs
and other merchandise, and the bell-rope
counecliug with tho engine bad been passed
over the lop of thecal', lioth ends of tho
cur were crammed with packages, only: a
small vacant space being left iu the cuutie
ai tue doors, occupied by the messenger.
The perilous nature of his cjudiUuu uuu
not be fully reafizjj. Tho train was whirl
ing aluug ibruugti tho duikucss ut the rale
ol thirty inilis un huur, and tLu lire wub
rapidly spreading through luo dry combusti
bles, last lining tue car with bcatkud BiuuUu
Uo bad no posdbto nieaus of digualiug the
engineer, uud Lt) menus of egress to tLu
other cars or of couiuiuuiculioti with
their occupants,, lie migut suuut himself
hoarse and bis voice would be dronud y
the roar of tho iiu'in. It seemed impossible
lor him to give uuy alarm until the lire
should have made such progress as to ue dis
covered by others, but in the meantime
himself must iuevitubly bo suffocated or
take (ho alternative of leaping from tiio
train.
To open tho doors of tho cur would be
but to u dm it thuuir and give a new impetus
to the lUines. Hat the beat uud smoke
woreulreudy stilling and something must be
dotiu immediately or be must perish. Open
ing one of the doors he wheeled out thu iron
sate to tiiu edge of liie c.il uud let it fall. It
wasstrucii ty tbo steps of the baggugo car,
producing a cJncu.-xiou sous to alarm its oc
cupants, liighlly conjecturing that some-,
thing was wrong the engineer was signaled
and the train toon came to u mop. Tins
cause of the ulurul was boon discovered, the
messenger boiug found, leuuing as far us
possible out of lliu car to escape the smoke.
Every appliance ut Command v.us speedily
brought into requisition, und tho lire was
forluuatuly extinguished. The sale was
picked up uud thu train resumed its journey,
arriving ut its destination without further
uccideul.
DispattUes show Ihut tho lain storm
which begun ou Saturday night and contin
