===•=a===E SLEEP AS AN INSTITUTION. One of the pleasantest placeS in 'the world in which. sleep can visit us is•a summer meadow, when the gyass is in flower. .You. nestle down among 'the pliant - green stalks, with- a canopy of greatwhite o*-daisies nodding over your bead. YoU lazily watch the big "bum ble" bee, in his velvet suit'of black and orange, bustling about from clover-top to clover-top—a fretful over, or, a testy honey-merchant, which ever be may, be, for he will reply to no ques tions. Presently he will come bouncing at you, as if you were an interloper whom he at once hated and despised; and, then he will make off in a sudden rage, as ot and fiery as Blue Beard. •Very soon all sorts of quaint-shaped creatures will one by one appear, and climb up 'into golden dishes of the buttercup flowers, or on to the bending grasses to look at you ; little demure beetles will nod their heads and move their antennai snspicionsly; then' will follow dainty ladybirds in their gay shells, and stealthy timid insects, who will keep down low in the' grass, and peep out at the intruder into their dominion, and pugnacious red ants, who fear nothing. A grasshopper ia safe to vault over you acrobatically. A moment after, a white butterfly will career near you, recon noitering for the hidden fairies; and little blue. dra ,, on-flies, with bodies like mere threads of sapphire, will skim past with their gauzy wings, wondering who on earth you are and what you want. Swallows-will dart. hy_with.._ar _curved. flight, which is the poetry of motion. Gusts of wild-rose leaves will scatter Over you from the neighboring hedges. All at once, as you lie half asleep, you will remember what it is you are like. Why, of course, you are like Bottom the transformed weaver of. Athens, waited on by fairies. The lark above, almost out ofsight in. he warm blue air, is, no doubt, Titania` hershlf, singing to you before she descends at tivilight•and changes :her shape, - atttranSforma the creatures that surround you into Peas blossom, Cobweb and the rest. They will dance around you, and then, kneeling, offer von refreshments, dew in acorn-cups and honey in rose-leaves. They will—but oradnally the air gets stiller, a balmy calmness . benttinbs you, a sumptuous repose—you are asleep. Probably, if you are a family man, the clamor of yearly children Will awake you, and a romping cluster of nrchinsfalling on you, will drag you in to tea; or, if. you are newly Married, even a pleatsautei fetin orawakening: may - armse - yon; and two soft, little red lips may press yours and tell the "lazy, lazy fellow," in half a dozen kisses, that supper is ready. 1 have often thought - how pleasant it would be to go to sleep in the centre of a' corn-lield a corn-field where acres of golden spears were swaying to and Tro hi the wind; and every breeze phinglied momentary furrows that close the instant the breath had passed. That delicious simmering sound would promote slumber; so also would that ceaseless crackling as of afire running through straw, which shows that the grain is ripe and that the dry husks are already parting. 'The languid poppies would be pleasant drooping over one's bad ! and fair would flutter the delicious blue'of the corn-flower. •But then mother earth is • hard, and moreover Farmer Giles might strongly ob ect.

Thou throwing my arm round a bough, with a deli dons fear and a full knowledge that I might break my neck if I let go my hold, I used to snatch a moment or two of sleep. I had pre cedent-for-it, too, for some Ethiopian nation. had heard of from Ilerodotus, used to live in trees. There is something supremely delightful in the first night ()fa country visit. Everythin ris so quiet. One's ignorance of the place nooses the imagination, and sends it wandering.. The sheets ate so white, the an• so pure; you open the lattice to smell the honeysuckle,and a m puts out the candle. In the morning the birds greet you with a pleasant welcome ; as you pid dle across the floor with bare feet. and look mit and find the window surrounded with white and crimson roses,a breath of paradise wafts in, rendering even early shaving an exquisite enj )y -ment.

The geese gabble Fussily as they betake themselves to their fashionable water- in;-place in the nearest meadow, that pond crusted with green weed not unlike mint sauce. On the fresh dewy lawn. all in a grey bloom, thrushes are pulling and hauling at re luctant worms, who, refusing to come up .nut of the hold, resist and wriggle like detected stowaways. Dishwashers, most graceful and coquettish of birds, are pacing alio - ut, flirting their tails over the glass just under the big Portugal laurel: and every now and then scudding after dies, who, intent on ascertain ing if their heiels are screwed on lirmly for he day, do not observe their pursuers till they :ire swallowed by them.

THE GIRL MARKET. A Scene in Chinn—An Enisodo of Chinese . Emigration to America. " RuSsell" writes from Hong_Kong_ as fol lows : " I saw the sale of a family last week for debt, where the husband and father was in California; and perhaps I can do no better than to tell you about It.' There were five children—three girls and two boys. We had passed thenithree_times iu..our_chairs.during the day, as they stood beside the road, dressed in their holiday attire of, black. The silence they observed whenever any person passed, and their downcast looks, created curiosity on our parE to know their buSiness there. Arr thing, our waiter, was called up and asked the cause of this little par*. said he, the girls, and perhaps t4e whole family, are for sale.' We stopped our chairs, and stepped out to have -a talk with them; using Arr tuna as an interpreter. The mother was wrinkled and gray, and hung her lied - as if she vas afraid to look us in the . faee. Ilut the children, withthe-exception of the oldest girl, looked cheerful, and were quite pleased with their holiday attire. The oldest- girl was six tem.), and oldest boy fifteen. SO:Said the gruff old broker who had the party ih charge, and who seemed quite anxious to dispose of his Wares. ' , After-- a,' 'great -00,1,:"Of-'1. 1 1i7 , 7!itig:-4.0:. evasive answers, - the broker told us that the --husband and-father was in-Galiforniai-and had neglected to pay his note given for his passage, and that his family were now offered for sale to pay his debt. Ile hoped to.-be able to pay the debt with the sale of the two oldest girls. But as yet he had received no oilers.- He Said that the family became security voluntarily, and he never knew a case Where they did not voluntarily oiler themselves for sale if the note they seemed was.not paid. "In reply to our questiOns he said that when a custmier bought a child or person, the vr son was- made at once the-owner-of-the-child, body and soul. No Chinaman would dispme the, puithaseZs right to - do Whatsoever he pleased with the human being he had paidfor. The boys would make good servants, he said, and in the course of a few years be worth a fortune to the owner. The girls would inak good armers,' or nurses as they are called in -America. lie would shoW us their . physical beauty—would make them sing and play tricks it' we thought of buying, Dow much would we give The oldest girl -he would sell Vol $400; the next one for .$200 ; and the - little slx tear old for _i_3o..'_,llie_boY,s,Lhe;could not, sell until - the girls were disposed "We thought the price too high. The market was g u e a e gur s, an e mus not think of getting over $lOO for the oldest and handsomest, while for the little one he must not expect over $lO. " He sneered at that, and said that English men always talked in that way When the•; wanted to buy. While we were talking, a party of blue-robed Chinese aristocrats came up and began to inspect the family. They opened the mouth of the oldest girl, rapped on her white teeth to see if they were sound, pulled open her dress, thumped her ribs, laughed at her little foes, told her to show the whites of her eyes, ordered her to sing, and to show them - the trinkets Which the fond mother had given her as a parting gift. All the while the salesman kept up a constant jabber, hi which we took no interest; - Time pressing, we passed on, leaving the parties disputing about the price, and discussing the probabilities of their running away if taken to Bong Kong. After making our call we returned the same day to ascertain the result of the sale. Only the mother and her boys were left. The debt was only $3OO, and $5O of it still remained un paid. I have been often told by residents in China that the parents would as soon sell their children as a cow or a pig. And I had begun to believe that such was the case upon passing •the group the first time. But the scene had 'changed. The girls were gone, and now a boy must go also. The mother sat in the dirt with her arms around the youncest wailing in almost piteous manner, and as Arr lung said, cursing the men that sold her husband a ticket to America at $3OO, which cost them but $4O. The broker sat listlessly by smoking his pipe, and twirling his cane, looking as if it was the smallest matter of business with him. "The boys were crying, and seemed very much afraid of us, now it was certain that one of them must go. :But we passed on and , left them in their misery. We never knew whether the boy was sold to a childless mane to be " treated as a son, to a Portuguese to be. carried to the West Indies - under a nominal ibtitiWet, or to a native landowner to be his slave. But that one of them was sold into servitude for the stun of there can be no doubt. The gills were doubtless purchased for the, vilest purposes, unless they had the rare Inck to fall into the hands of. some native in, search, pr. a legitiMate wife. I nun told that the price of girls had gene up within a few months, owing, perhaps, to the hut that a less number of emi grants have forfeited their bond in California than was, the case six months ago. I was shown four bright, plump, roSy-appearing girls yesterday, who were purchased less than a year ago (the whole lot) for $3O. Now they setl teadily for $:1C0 each." • A tier ttttt Ezati►►lsinM►l► There can be no question as to the resolute enthusiasm, not only of Germany, but of Ger mans everywhere in regard to the war. Fer vent greetings by telegram, announcing: large collections of war 'contributions many thou sand miles across the. seas, arrived almost daily in Berlin, while there is now hardly a town or hamlet in Germany without a committee of women fully prepare to enter upon their sacred mission at the first word- of command.

Not until the first line was complete did the second begin to take position.

Even mem bers ,of the Sanitary Corps, distinguished by a -red cross- on--a white-ground,-were killed ,by shots from houses. Great numbers of troops continue to arrive from all parts of Germany.

No decree has yet made Bazaine generalissimo. ,Count statement„is. equivocal. Nothing proves that the Emperor may not at any moment reappear at the head of the army. Chaugarnier is in great favor, but no command has yet been assigned him. Nothing is yet known of AfacAfalion's posi tion, and it is probable he will be unable to re join the army at a nearer point than Chalons.

The pont*, led by their officeit,rtnder order's of the commissary of ixdice, immediately ar rested the ringleader and four aecompliu,s. The population co-operated, and, full of en thusiasm, proceeded of its own accord to make ether arrests. The guns taken from the fire— men have been retaken. ' .Weapons abandoned the insurgents have also been seized. A (tall to turns having been _spoutaueously made in the quarter, a goodly number of the Na tional Guard were got together, who, with the aid of citizens, contributed toward the re-es tablishment of order. A squadron and a company of the Guard of Paris which immediately arrived was hailed n ith warm acclamations. The commissary and agents of police have made great Obits to protect from public. indignation the individuals under arrest. They number about fifty in all. At quarter past six other parties made au attack on the sentries of :he same station. Two were arrested by the National Guard, and were locked up in the barrackS.

Members of the Mobile and National Guards hasten to the r am parts,''' The Orleans Princes have as yet received no reply from the Emperor to their tender of ser vices in the French army. Lyons has been put in a state of defence. The Senate has unanimously adopted the financial bill which originated in the Corps. PAM:7 , , August 15, Evening.—The Corps iph alit WaS' not in session to-day, having djourned until to-morrow in honor of the Emperor's Me day. The newspapers explain that Nancy was given up to the Prussians because it was an open city, and :the French troops retired to Toni, which being a fortified place gave them a better chance to resist the Prussian advance. I'falzburg, one of the frontier towns, still holds out, Pruisian reports to the contrary notwith standing. The press in all parts of France resolutely denounce all overtures for peace until the Yrussians are driven from the soil. - PA111:7 , , August 15..--An official despatch states that the corps of Generals l'Admiraalt and Dacaeu were .engaged the combat at Metz yesterday.
