'On 'OM occa sion I bad nearly paid with my life for the gratification of my curiosity.

We con trived to get the vantage ground by go ing to the seaward alum, and by Anal 1-means drove-her into-shoal-wateramong the rocks. At last we came-so near the young one that the harpoener poiSed his weapon, knowing that .=the- calf once= struck the mother was our own, for she would never desert . it. 'Aware - of the clanger and the impending fate ofits in experienced offspring, she swam rapidlY • around it, in decreasing Circles, evincing the utmost uneasiness and anxiety ; but kts parental admonition's were unheeded, and it met its fate. , The boa approached the side of tlee younger fish, and the--harpooner buried his.tremendous weapon deep' in the ribs.' The moment it felt the wound, the_poor animal darted froM us, taking Out one hundred fathoms of linos but ' young 'fish is soon conquered when once struck. Such was the case in this lustaiice.

For my comfort he added, "these devils seldom touch a man, if they call get anything else." This might be very trim; but I . must confess that - I was very glad to sec one of the boats come to our annistance, while the mother whale, encumbered by the heavy -harpoon and line, and exhausted by the fountain - ef,black blood which she threw up, dreU/near to, her calf, and died by its side ; , evidently, in her last 'moments, moreoedupied wit, the presocvatieli of her young than of herself : • ' .

Her husband recently died, and so deeply had she mourned his loss, that tier friends began to fear that her mind-was - disordered.• About one o'clock on Tuesday night she was missed from her home. Her friends, thinking she had gone to the . cemetery, pursued their way thither, and, strange 'to say, there they found the unfortunate woman pros trate upon the grave of 'her husband,. praying:and crying, and almost perished from cold. She resisted all efforts to re move her by persuasion, and it was only b, force that she was compelled to retie quish her position at the grave of her departed husband and protector. Her attachment was apparently stronger in death than in life, for her poor mind had become — disordered; almost hopelessly. Such 'cases of love 'aro very Tare.

It may.,biS' that too much Sleep injures some ; but in all excitable people, and iu our intense business habits, there is .far more inischicif for want Of sleep than' front - too much of it. Sleeplessness be comes a 'diSease. It is the precursor of insanity. When it does not reach to that sad result, it is still full of peril, as well ailsOf suffering. t ,Thousands of men have been indebted for bad bargains, for lack of coinage, for ineffectiveness, to less of sleep. It is'eurious that all the popular poet ical representatives of sleeping and wak ing are the reverse of the truth. Wo speak of sleVas the imagi3 of death, and of our-Waking hours,as the image of life. But•all activity is the result of some form of decomposition in the- body. Every thought, still more . every emotion and volition; wastes some part of the nervous substance, precisely as flame is produced Uc wasting the fuel. It is the death of ome part of the physical substance that produces the phenoinena of intelligence and voluntary-life. •On the 'other hand, sleeP is not, like death; for it is the period in'Which the wasting of the system ceases, or is re duced to its minimum. Bleep repairs the waste which waking hours have made. 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 replenished. I Waking consumes ; sleep-replaces wak ing exhausts, sleep repairs ; waking is death ; sleep is life. Every mammust sleep according to his temperament. But eight hours is ; the avehige, If ono requires a little more or a little loss, ho will dud it out for himself. Whoever, by work, pleasure, sorrow, or by any oth i er cause, is regularly dimin ishing his sleep, is destroying his life. A man may hold out for a: time.

HALCYON 'DAYS, The poetic imagination of the Greeks threw the pretty myrth of tho halcyon birds around the short and dreary days of mid whiter. For seven days before and seven after the winter solstice, these birds brood over their nest, which floats upon the sea. -.Molt's guards the winds, and not eyOu a zephyr ruffles the waves bile they boar unharmed the precious treasure committed to their trust. The season is dear to seamen, for over "the plaCia'sea the ships are safely borne to their destined harbor; no clouds cobS'eure the sunlight, mid no tempest distnibthe cop. Serenity and peace yeign in the heavens above and the waters beneath, while in their floating cradle the mythic birds are being warmed into life. Ceyx, the King of Thessaly, and son of Hesperus, the morning star, marries •Tfaleyone, -the daughter Of Bolus, god .t-f-therwindt.----They-lovema'cirtithointe 'votedly, but over their happy life a change comes. Ceyx has the misfortune to lose his brother, and the sad event is followed by direful—prodrges, indicative of the anger of the gods. He determines to make a voyage to 'lonia; to consult the oracle of Apollo. Thilcyone, with sad forebodings of coming ill, is itiConsola ble for his departure, and with tears and sobs bids him farewell. Her presenti ments are only too true. A fierce storm overwhelms the shir),,iand CeyA sinks be neath the waves. Meanwhile Haleyone watches aux ionsly for his return, makes ready for his arrival, dresses herself in gay ap parel, offers frequent incense to the gods, but more than all to Juno. She prays constantly for his return, and that dur ing his absence he;ifiay remain true to his love for her. At last the goddess, moved by her distress, sends to her a vision, which levet .the sorrowing wire'the loss of her husband. Ili the morning she goes.to the seashore, that she may look upon the Spot where him last saw him, and, borne by the waves, tho inanimate form of Ceyx appraches the shore. She throws herself into the sea, and as she falls the pitying gods change timm both into birds. There is a moral in the charming Mk gory.

They were simple enough : a mattress in the form of a, very thick guilt, about seven feet long by four wide, was spread on the floor ; and over it was laid an anipie robe, very long; and heavily pad ded, and provided 'with largo sleeves. put on the night drug, the sle!erier covers biniself up With another quilt, and sleeps, that is if he lies, some years' practice In the use of his bed. "But . the most remarkable feature about a, Japanese bed is the pillow. This is a wooden box, about four inches high, eight inches long, and two inches -wide at the top, It has a cushion of folded papers on the upper side to rest the neck upon, for the elaborate manner of dressing the hair does not permit the Japanese, especially the women, to rest the head upon the pillow. Every morn ing the upperrhost paper is taken off the . cushion, exposing a clean surface, with out the expense of washing a 'Miley'. • "I pabsecl the greater part of the night In learning how to poise my head in this novel manner ; and when I finally closed my eyes, it was to dream that I was being lilowly•beheaded, and to awake at the crisis to find the pillow 'bottoin side up, and my back resting on the sharp lower edge of the box. During . m 7 stay in the country I learned many of its cue toms, mastering the use of chopsticks, and accustoming my palate to raw fresh fish ; but the attempt to balance my head on a two inch pillow I gave up iii despair, trying, in vain, to zecure the box, by tying it to my neck and head. 7 We clip the following from an ex change, and give it to our readers because of itd truthfulness.
