There are the careless people, those " who
know the right, and yet the wrong pursue."
They plunge recklessly on Withbut, a thought
for the werds they use;* , their sentences
abound with exclamations and expletivesmore
expressive than choice. Their slang phrases
are an offence to cultivated ears; and they ex
haust the euperlatives of the -language on the
most ordinkry oceasions. It is they who pre

is expressed by the much-abused epi

Any violation of law belonging to

the offscortrings of the race. They, so com

to, their deeper feelings.
A second class includes those who violate the
laws of etymology. They have been thoroughly
trained in the grammar of, the langu\age, and
yet, refuse to be regulated by its precepts. This
class is a large one, and includes among its au

nominative ; as, "It is'the ' " for , 0 It is I." "It
is her," for "It is she ;" "It is us," for " It is

ON !BLEEPING.
BY DENBY, WARD BEEDDER
There are thousands of busy people who die
every year for.want of sleep. A may be that
too much sleep injures some; but in an ex
citable people, and in our intense business
habits, there is far more mischief for want of
sleep than from too Much of it. Sleeplessness
becomes a disease. It is the precursor of in
sanity. When it does not, reach that sad re
sult, it is full of peril, as well as of sufihring.
Thousands of men have been indebted for bad
bargains, for lack of courage, for ineffective
ness, to loss of sleep.
It is curious that all the popular poetical
representations of sleeping and Waking are the
reverse of the truth. We speak, of sleep as the
image of death, and of our waking hours as
the image of life. Rut all activity is the result
of some form of decomposition in the body.
Every thought, still more, every motion, any
volition wastes some part of the nervous sub
stance, precisely as flame is produced by
wasting the
,fuel. It is the death of some
part ,of the physical substance that produces
the phenomena of intelligent and voluntary
life.
On the other hand, sleep is not like death;
for it is the period in which the waste of the
systein ceases, or is reduced to its minimum.
Sleep repairs the . wastes which waking hours
have made. It rebuilds the system. The
night is the repair-shop of the body. Every
part of the system is silently overhauled; and
all the organs, tissues, and substances are re
plenished. Waking consumes, sleep replaces;
waking exhausts, sleep repairs ; waking h is
death, sleep is life.
The man who sleeps little repairs little; if
he sleeps poorly, he repairs poorly. If he uses
up in a day less than he accumulates at night,
he will gain in. health and vigor. if be uses
up all that he gains at night, he will just hold
his own. If he uses more by day than he
gathers at night, he will lose. And if this last
process be long continued, he 'must succumb.
A man who . would be a good worker must see
to it that he is a good sleeper. Human life is
like a mill ; sometimes the stream is so copious
that one needs care but little about his supply.
Now;'often, the stream that turns the mill
needs to be economized. A dam is built to
bold a larger supply. The mill runs the pond
pretty low through the day, but by shutting
down the gate, the night refills the pond, and
the wheels go merrily around again the next
day. Once in a while, when spring rains are
copious. and . freshets overflow, the mill may
run night and , day , but this is rare. Ordi
narily the mill should run by day, and the
pond fill up by night.
A man has as much force in him as be has
provided for by sleep. . The quality of' action,
especially mental activity,-depends upon the
quality of sleep. If day-time is the loom in
which men weave their purposes, night is the
ttisithen the threads are laid in and the fill
et '' repared. '
en need on an average eight hours of sleep
ridgy, or one-third of their whole time.. A
sumo of lymphatic temperament may . require
nine. A nervous temperament may require
but ,seven, or six, and• instances have been
known in which four hours have been enough.
The'reftSon is plain. The lymphatic man is
sinig r Ol ip all hit functions. TiC moves slowly,
thispOilowfly, ens slowly, digests slowly, fund
elenpil 4ntiviy.,; ;tint,. , in, all the restorative acts
of:this felatem go on slowly, in • analogy with
kkateniperatnent. ;lint a. nervous roan acts .
igsickly in everything; -'bl niSht. or by day.
When awake, be does more in an hour than a
sluggish man in two hours"; and so in his
sleep sleePs.feeter, and his systein nimbly
repairs in six lours what it would take another
one eight hours to perforria.. •
Every man Must, sleep according to his tele-
Pektunent. . But eight hours is the average. If
one, requires a little more or'a little less, he will
find it out for himself. Whoever by, work,
pleasure, sorrow, or any other cause, is iegularly
diminishing his sleep, is, destroying his life. A
Men 'May held'",ont for a time; but Nature
keeps close accounts, and no man can dodge
her settlements. We have seen impoverished ,
railroads that could not keep the track in order,
nor spare the engines to be thoroughly repaired.
Every year track and equipment deteriorated.
By and by conies a crash, and the road is in
a heap of Confusion and . destruction.. - So it is
with men. They cannot spare time to sleep
enough. They slowly, run behind. Symptoms
of general waste appear. Premature wrinkles,
weak eyes, 'depression of spirits, failure of di-,
gestion, feebleness in the morning, -and over
whelming inelancholy—theSe and other signs
Show a geiieral ' dilapidation. lf,'now,. sudden
Calamity- , causes an extraordinary pressure,
they go down under it. They have no resources
to draw upon. They have been living up to
the verge of their whole vitality every day.
There is a great deal of intemperance besides
that of tobacco, opium, or brandy. Men are
dissipated, who overtax their systemall day and
under-sleep every night. Some men are. dissi
pated by physical stlinulaii4, and some by.so
dal, and sore by professional and commercial.
But a maniwho dies of delirium. tremens is no
more a drunkard and a suicide' than the lawyer,
the minister, or the merchant that works ex
cessively all daY, and 'sleeps but little all niglit;
—New York Ledger. '
The Girl of the• Present and the Past.
When you press an assailant'of the girls of
the period for the definite grounds on which
he attacks them, and repudiate his vague gene
ralities against - mysterious; unknown women,
he has two points on which he relies.. He
alleges that the present outrageous fashions
and changes in women's dresS, and the greater
freedom in girls' manners and language In
their intercourse with men, are certain indiea
tions of an inner deterioration of character.
But what amazing ignorance of past fashions
and custpuri'deahese assertions display? Can
any five consgeutiire years be, named during
the present century in which the revolutions
in women's dress were not so rapid, so foolish,
as slav'sbly dictated : by 'milliners and dress
makers, and as productive of ugliness,expense
and inconvenience, as they have been during
the short time while the girl of the.period has
been attaining her present growth?
~ When-one hears people reprobate the indeli
cate decollete style of modern evening dress,
one is tempted to ask what such tensors re
-member of the ball dressei in vogue when they
themselves were young? We-have caricatures
enough of the extravagance of the costumes of
to-day ; has no one any collection of the cari
catures of Cruikshank and other satirists of the
costumes fashionable' under George IV. and
William IV. ? If we want to learn what was
the • - amount of-personal charms displayed by
the girls and the mothers of those good old
days, we may easily satisfy ourselves by a study
of a satirist who exhibited the " dress" and
"undress" of, that rigorous period. Remem
bering what we were accustomed to in the
golden age of George IV., we shrug our shoul
ders, just as when we hear of a Lord Cham
berlain's complaints of the shortness,of
girls" petticoats, and remember what the god
desses of opera wore—or, rather what they did
not wear—in that happy era of delicacy and
dignity,-when all the cardinal virtues seemed
a spontaneous growth among the gentry and
aristocracy of England. • .
At to the change which has come over the
daily familiar talk of young ladies, it is simply
a consequence of that enlarged freedom in the
use of words which we have all of us deliber
ately adopted. The old bigotry which forbade
the introduction of new phrases is now treated
as an extinct superstition, and our new liberty
of speech is a consequence of a general shaking
oll'of the shackles of unmeaning tradition. if
our young ladies' talk is now furnished with
terms their mothers would have been severely
punished for uttering, this fact indicates no
fi ndness for slang, as such, or any want of deli,.
eau of idea. Such terms have ceased to bra
low, or vulgar, or to imply a coarse freedom of
,ideas. The line between the licensed and the
unlicensed vocabulary is still, as distinct as
ever ; and the only reason why the fast and
free-and-easy girls of the past indulged in a less
copious phraseology of the masculine sort, lay
in the fact, that they had a far more limited
choice ready to their hands.
So, again, in the diminished formality of
intercourse between girls and their elders and
persons of the other sex. Formality of man
ner is nothing more than a fashion, and 'no
more indicates true' respect and affection than
a stiff and padded coat implies a well-formed
bodily figure. We hare ceased to go about in
buckram, either in our clothes, our manuers,or
ourthoughts ; just as we have ceased to use
- the words Sir, or Madam,,or My Lord, as our
grandfathers used them. Yet the disuse of
these ancient modes of address is nothing
more than a recurrence to a still older set of
customs. Such formalities were unknown to
Jewish and classical and Christian antiquity ;
'and-yet you may- find- old--ladies--and
.gentle
men by the score who deplore the growing
,dis
regard of these !" respectful " phrases as pite
ously as the obscurantists of a past generation
groaned over the abolition of the Episcopal
wig.—The Graphic.
Mormon Tribulations and Successes.
A shrewd traveler who writes letters to the
Loudon Dail ) News has visited the Mormons,
and gives the following interesting informa
tion:
t , Out of the 150,000 citizens of Utah Terri
tory at least three-fourths have emigrated from
Europe. As many as four thousand European
Latter-Day Saints are said to cross the Atlantic
yearly, in order to cast in their lot with their
brethren beyond the Rocky Mountains. In no
country has the success of the Mormon mis
sionaries been so great as in England, because
in no other country has the like liberty been
accorded to them. Elsewhere they have fared
badly on account of the obstacles put in their
way by intolerant mobs, or' despOtic govern
ments. .
"In their own records of missionary laboi
le the followint* b entries : ' The work . of con
v Tsion was cut short in France by the Pre
fect of Police prohibiting the Mormon elders
from preaching the gospel or attending meet
logs.' ' In Germany the mission was continued,
by Elder Daniel Carn, until expelled by the
authorities of the free city of Hamburg. Sub
sequently, Elders George C. Riser, J. F. Se
erist and George Mayer were imprisoned and
expelled the Confederation for "attempting to
preach.' Au elder was ' summarily banished,'
from Sweden.
" The Prussian authorities acted, with their
wonted vigor when Mormonism attempted to
gain a footing in Berlin. 'ln January, 1853,
Elders Orson Spencer and Jacob Houtz arrived
in Berlin, Prussia, but found that it was Ma- .
• possible to preach or publish the . truth of the,
' Latter-Day work in consequence of religious
, intOleration. These elders wrote to the lung's
Minister of Public, Worship for permission to
preach, but were immediately summoned be
fore the police court and catechised as to the
object of their mission. • They were ordered
to leaVe the. kingdom next 'morning, "ender pen 7
alty, of, AratispertatioiV ' The succeeding para-'
gr ob,' Which, relalcS to OibtAl tar, •standd out in

naln on the rock challenied by the Governor,
Who afterwards eeognizni but fdrbade' the
pretteling , of Mormonism; , , Elder Stevenson
paid no heed to the interdict, 'remained over
a year, and baptized seversl, aMidst threats,
prohibitions and constant Opposition:,
"This illustrates the difference itletWOert: the
governor, of a British 'possession and a Prussian
polimmagistrate. The latteri baying delded
against Mormonism, made law to the
elders. They had simply to choose, between
an immediate . departure from the kingdom and
the penalty of transportation. At Vienna • the
elders were rebuffed as effectuallk as at Berlin'.
Two of them went to the capital of Austria In
1864. There they labored for seven months
to acqUire the German languagei lint in cense' ,
(pence of religious intolerance they were un
able to open the door for the Proclamation of
the gospel in that eAtntry.'ln some or the British
colonies the missionaries were treated as sum
marily as' in the countries just named. On the
whole, the religious toleration which is the
glary of England has, made that ,country an
open held fbr their labors. They have founded
'churches in England, they have published
books, pamplalets, and , newsp.aPers there, have
held meetings by the hundred, have made
dupes by the thousand. In truth, Salt
Lake City resembles an English settlement in
America."
A friend hands us the following : The very
curious sentence, &tor grepo teret opera ro
tee,':although good dog: Latin,' may be freely
translated, 'I cease from my work; the sower
will wear his wheels. While in verse or prose
it may be absurd, it yet haS these peculiarities ;
1. It spells backward and forward all the same.
2. The first letters of each word spell the first
word; then the second letters of each word
spell the second word; the, third, fourth and
fifth letters, respectively, spell each word. Com
mencing with the last letter or each word from
the left will spell the word on the right at the
end of the sentence, and, by taking each letter
in succession, will spell each word of, the sen
tence back to the left. In conclusion ; by com-,
mowing with the last letter on the right, each
one, respectively; will spell the t words of the
'sentence back to the right."

Forty-Beet eonnress—Seeond Session.
In the C. S. Senate yesterday, after the
close of our report, the oonsideration of the
currency bill was continued, and the pending
amendment, as modified, was adopted, as fol
lows : "That after the expiration of six
months from the passage of this act any bank
ing association located in any State having
more than its proportion of circulation may be
removed to any State having less than its pro
portion of circulation, nnder such rules
and regulations as the Comptroller
of the Currency, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury,
may require; provided, that the, amount
of issue of said bank shall not be de-
ducted from the amount of new issue provided
for in this act." The former amendment of Mr.
Morton, to fix the additional amount of circu
lation at $.2,000,000, was then renewed. Mr.
Chandler moved to amend so as to authorize
an issue or $100,000,000, while preventing any
diminution of increase of circulation by sub
stituting the bank notes for legal tender. After
some discusion this amendment was negatived.
It ,was agreed that a vote on the bill shall be
taken this afterncion at 4 o'clock. An xecu-
Live Session was then held.
In the House of Representatives Mr. Mar
shall offered a resolution declaring that the
constitutional authority to levy taxes does not
include the power to impose duties except for
the collection of reveuue,and directing the Ways
and Means Committee to report a bill accord
ingly. Mr. Kelley moved to table the bill,when
the mottling hour expiring, it went Over. Mr.
Fitch offered a resolution giving belligerent
rights to Cuba,w hid' was referred to the Foreign
Committee. Mr. Cox desired to offer a resolu
tion looking to the -repeal of the tariff on coal.
Objection being made by Mr. Cessna, he moved
to suspend the rules, but--the Ilouse, by a-vote
of ?5. to 24, refused to, suspend them. Messrs:
Gouger and McKenzie, members elect from
Virginia, were sworn in. Mr. Scofield intro
duced a bill authorizing transfers hi Navy ap
propriations to the Bureau of Construction,
which was referred.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Pennsylvania Senate last evening passed
the bill creating the new county to be called
Petrolia. The Metropolitan Police bill was
called up by Mr. Connell, on whose motion
the Board of Commissioners was constituted
thus : The Mayor, W. J. Pollock, Joian Mc-
Carthy, Geo. Truman; A. B. Widener and
John S. Rittenhouse. Mr. Connell called the
previous question on the bill, which prevented
all debate. All the sections of the bill bad
been *merged into one long section, the lan
gua•ge being the same exa,etly as the bill on-,
gmally published in the Philadelphia newspa
pers, with the amendment of Connell as above.
The bill then passed the second reading, and
was laid over for one day, in consequence of
the Republicans not, having a two-third vote
to suspend the rules and pass it finally. Mr.
Lowry was the only Republican voting against
the bill.
In the House of Representatives Mr. Miller
introduced a bill authorizing , the ;,appointment
of, three women Inspectors of the Philadelphia
County Prison; also,
a bill incorporating the
Schuylkill River and Angora ,Railroad. The

'MAIMS in reference to the count of the votes
in the seventh division. •
—The late B. M. Jones's property,rt Walnut,
below Broad, adjoining the Dundas estate, and
fronting 32 feet on Walnut street, has been sold
tar $60,000 to Henry M. Phillips, Esq.
—John Murphy, who was tried in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday,
on thb charge of having been concerned in
the killin'g of Col. J. J. Seibert, was acquitted.
—The population of the Almshouse, as re
ported to the Guardians of the Poor yester
day, is 3,767—a decrease of 155 'from. the same
period last year.
—The journeymen gas metre makers held a
meeting last evening and formed a protective
union.
CAMDEN GOSSIP.
—To-night the Council of Camden will hold
a special meeting for the purpose of acting
upon the new city charterovhich, It is said, has
been carefully prepared by the City Solicitor,
and which, after it has been adopted by the
Council, will be submitted to the Legislature
for the sanction of that. body. It should: alto
be submitted to the citizens for their sanction
or disapproval before it is passed upon by the
Legislature. Camden needs a new charter,
but until, one can be produced that will zeal
ously guard the interests of all citizens alike, it
had better be postponed an indefinite number
of years. There is one section in the charter
presented last winter which ought to be stricken
out of this version. It provides that when a
majority of property-owners on any street in a
ward do not petition Council to pave said street,
or make any other improvements, the same may
be done by a petition signed by thirty freehold
ers residing anywhere in the Ward. The wrong
of this consists in the. fact that these thirty
men may have no personal interest in such
street, and yet they will thus have tho power
.to, subject hundreds of hard -Working persons
who have provided , themselves' with little
homes, but on whom the, tax for, making
such improvements would . fall very
heavily, and may be the
means of making them lose their properties in
consequenw .of :•having . theirt 'sold to - pay the:
cost assessed for such improvements. Further,
it is opposed to popylar majoritiesi on which'
the genius of ' Republican institutions rests.
Other errors are apparent in it which should
likewise be stricken out, and then there will be
little difilcultY in getting the charter passed.
—Excitementa have - been ripe around the
Catuden.Court-house since Saturday. Yeste,r
day another occurred, in consequence of a
prisoner who had been indicted at a previous.
term of the Court and forfeited his recogni
zances, making a desperate attempt to escape
frOm die officers. He ran with the fleetness of an
antelope jumped over several fences,scaled
and was finally captured in the yard of the
Centenary M. E. Church, on Fifth street, and
taken back to jail; While this was going on,
the inmates of the Court-house were again
startled by ^the rooms 'becoming „filled with
smoke. An alarm of fire was sounded, calling
out a portion of the department, but the smoke.
was caused by building a fire in the furnace.
, . •
-Feazing that if re-arrested 'a double pun- '
iitiinent would belfalictettoti him; one - of' the
prisonerswho escaped from. the, Camden jail
on Saturdays named Richard 'Farrow, gave
himself up to the authorities yesterday. He
had been indicted by the Grand Jury for petty
larceny, and was, soon after his• return, put on
,trial for that offence.
