Use of Sleep to the Body.
Solidification that is, the conversion of blood
into the' solid parts of the body goes on during
sleep. The chief end, indeed, an object, and in
tention of sleep would seem to be this final assim
ilation of our food, this solidification of the . blood,
into the several solid parts of the body.
The Accomplishilfent of this miiaculous change
seems to have required, that every thing, both
within and without the body, should be hushed fn
to profound repose during the accomplishment of
the mighty wonder, in order that nothing might
disturb or interfere with the exquisite and miracu
lous processes employed to effect it. To this end the

ADDRESS
To the People off Pennsylvania.
The .undersigned Whig members of ihe
House of Representatives believe it to be doe
Jo themselves 10 state someof the reasons which
impelled them to tote for the Apportionment
Bill as n was reported from the Committee of
Conference. This Bill, we are fully aware is
in some of iis provisions unequal and unjust. It
gives to some Democratic districts graat adyan-
lages, while a deprives certain Whig districts
of such a representation as they are In justice
emitted to.
The Democratic districts of Berks, York and
Cumberland have a representation greater lhan
in justice they could claim, while the Whig
counties oi union, Allegheny, Buller, &c. are
deprived of three members of the House, which
by a fair and just apportionment they would
have. The Senatorial districts of Chestor and
Dela ware, and of Moutgomery are obnoxious
lo ihe charge of gross inequality and injustice.
The couniy of Chester alone has more than a
sufficient number of laxables 10 entitle it to a
Senator. Yet the strong Whig county of Del
aware with a taxable pobulation of over five
.thousand is aitached to her, whilst Monigome
...... ' n
ry, which also borders on Deleware, without a
sufficient numper of taxables, is by this bill,
given a, Senator.
The opposition patty resisted every attempt
to unite Montgomery and Delaware.
The uniting of Indiana, Armsirong and Clar
ion as one Senatorial district is another feature
of ihe Bill, which, in iia political aspect, is pe
culiarly obnoxious to us as Whigs, and we made
every effort to form a district which would have
been less objectionable to the people of the old
district, but without success.
JJut time will not permit us to enter further
mm details or do more lhan to say that the
subject was extremely embarrassing and sur
rounded with difficulties, and that we endear-
ored to bring to the consideration of it that calm
and dispassionate exercise of judgement which
it was our duty as Representatives 10 do. We
feared that some desperate men desired that
the Legislature should adjourn without passing
an Apportionment Bill a result fraught as we
believe, with the most dangerous consequences

Alfred, king of England, though ho perform

Franklin, in the midst of his labors, had time
io drive into the depih philosophy, and explore
an untrodden path of science.
Frederick the Great, with an empire at his
direction, in the midst of war and on the eve
of battle, found time to revel in the charmes of
philosophy, and feast on the luxuries of sci
ence. Napoleon, with Europe at hUdisposel, with
kings at hiw ante-chamber, and at the head of
thousands of men, whose destinies were sus
pended on his arbitrary pleasure, found time to

And young men who are conflue'd to busi

Never Give a Kick for a Hit.
I learned a good lesson while I was a little
girl, says a lady. One frosty morning I was
looking out of the window iniomy father's barn
yard, where stood many cows, oxen, and hor
ses, wailing to drink. It was a cold morning.
The cattle all stood very still and meek, till one
of the cows attempted to turn round. In making
the attempt, she happened to hit her next neigh
bor ; whereupon the neighbor kicked and hit
another. In five minutes the whole herd were
kicking each other with fury. My mother
laughed and said, "See what comes of kicking
when you hit. Just so, 1 have seen one cross
word sot a whole family by the ears some froi
ly morning. Afterwards if my brothers or my
self were a little irritable, she would say, "take
care my children. Remember how the fight
in the barn-yard began. Never give back a
kick for a hit, and you will save yourself and
oihers a great deal of trouble."

most tender and delicate, and he can now un
derstand why it is that we cannot obtain the
first quality of tea from China. The first growth
of ihe leaf is so delicate lhat it it quite impossi
ble to divest it of humidity by firing or roasiing
(o sustain so long a voyage, besides the almost
certainty of utlerly destroying Us rich and pre
cious aroma. When the tea is cultivated here,
this process of roasting may be dispensed with.
Wiih variety of soil, abundance of cheap land
and faciliies of transportation, Dr. S thinks that
if we do not cultivate our own tea, we ought lo
be tributary to (hose who call us barbarians. Ev
er' farmer, certainly in the Middle and southern
States, may grow his own lea in his own gar
den, without the slightest interference with his
ordinary agricultural pursuits. We think now
thai it is demonstrated that tea will grow here,
some of our agricultural societies should offer
premiumes for the first and best supply of tea
grown upon American soil.
