LIFE IN BED.
We all know that sleep is as necessary to
the support of animal life as food. Our vital
intchinery would soon wear out without it, and
if it were not for the intervals of healthful in
sensibility that sleep affords to the brain, we
should all go, mad with too much thinking.—
Even through their venous systems would
cease 'to circulate if the active principle' of
their existenne were not recruited by repose.
Children are believed to grow faster during
their slumber than when awake, and although
some very smart modern philosophers haVe ad
vanced the theory that it is possible fbr man to
live and enjoy lifewithout sleep, the doctrine,
like the equally,absurd,dogiva that it is pussi•
ble to live without sustenance, is so manifestly
absurd that common sense laughs it to scorn.
But bed is not for sleep solely. We lie
down, to slumber, but we piss many au hour in
bed calculating, planning, hoping, imagining
The course of our lives is shaped, to some ex
tent, as we lie down between the sheets and
blankets. Xhc„still uight and the early
morning are born mighty schemes that are
carried out in the., stirring, day. The mind
awakes : from a, profound and dreamless slumber
with all its faculties invigorated and.,embolden••
ed. Difficulties that appalled us when fatigued
and overworn, lose, half their terrors •in the
presence -of an intellect strengthened by per
feet, re q .., Sleep is to the brain what prostra
thin on the bosom of their Mother. Earth was
to the Titans ; we arise from it " giants re
treated." Perhaps the myth which represents
the. !•-flooring' ' of those. rebellious demi-gods
as having had such a genial effect on their
muscular powers, was, intended to typify the
ases of "-tired nature's sweet restorer." There
are both strength and wisdom in the pillow,
else why , should the propriety of consulting it
have grown into a proverb.

geons sent to Richmond on Monday last. The
Union surgeons lett Richmond on Tuesday and

the Sanitary and Christian Commisions.
Rebel officers informs them that only eight
thousand troops were in and around Richmond

The population of Richmond is suffering for
want of necessaries of life:

issued to prisoners were better than their own
troops were receiving. Four thousand prison
ers had been taken to Danville, and other
different parts of the Confederacy. Eight
thousand remained in Richmiind.
Dedicatory Speech
The followitia is the Dedicatory Speech de
livered by President Lincoln at Gettysburg :
Four score and seven - years ago our fathers
brought forth upon this continent a new na
tion, conceived in iberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.
[Applause.] Now we are engaged iu a great
civil war, testing whether that.nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. WC are met on a general battlefield
of that war; we are met to dedicate a portion
of it as the final resting place of those who
here gave their lives that that nation might,
live. It is - altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this, but in a larger sense we can•
not•dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. The lirave men, living
and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated
it far above our poorpower to add or to detract.
[Applause ] The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. [Applause.]
It is fbr us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work that they have thus
far so nobly carried on. [Applause.] It is
rather for ,us here to be dedicated to the task
remaining before us. that from these honored
dead we take Increased devotion to that cause
for which they here gave the last , full measure
of devotion. That we so highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain. [Ap
please.] That the 'nation hall , under God.
have a new birth of freedom, and that the'
Government of the people, by the people and
for the people, shall not perish from the earth
[Long applause. Three cheers given for the
President of the - Milted States and Gevernors
of the States.]

Horrible Accident Explosion of a

the handling of dangerous missiles.. A gentleman

ploded, blowing off &atlas hands. and shattering
one arm to the shoulder. A portion of the shell

him almost instantly. Physicians amputated the

Thanksgiving Day.—Religious services were
held on that day in the Presbyterian church. A
large audienCe, composed of members of all de
nomibations, was present. Rev. J. W. Wiatrissks
preached~ the sermon. it was eloquent, powerful
and-patriotic.
The choirs of the several churches were united.
The opening piece was Dr. BOARDBAN'p Thanksgiv-
Ing Hymn. The singing was excellent. .
At the close of the exercises a collection was
taken up. and the amount raised was one htindred
and twelve ($112) dollars. This money will be
handed over to the Chriition Commission per Ladies'
Aid, for the benefit of our suffering soldiers in
hospital and in the prisons of the South.
The day was well observed; much better than
on such occasions. Soberness and quiet prevailed.
Poultry suffered considerable destruction.
Hear, ye Noisy juveniles.—Fo r the b et ,,
fit of those disposed to make " night h e di ne, „
with the din created by the explosion of torpedoes,
fire crackers, discharge of pistols, &c., we give "
extract from a section of a Borough law, in regard
thereto.
..It shall not be lawful to set fire, to discharge or
explode any squib, fire cracker, fire ball, gun auttbu
or any explosive or dangerous material, or are or
diSeharge any gun . , pistol; cannon or other firearms
in said public square, streets or alleys, nor wi t hi n
said Borough, to sell or keep for sale, any such
squib, fire crackers or fire balls, nor in said square,
streets, alleys or lanes, to fly kites, Vey bandy or
any other game or amusement that may annoy or
incommode others.
And .every offender for every such offence &hall
forfeit and pay a. fine of one dollar."
Thus it will be seen that those who sell fire
crackers, Szc., must pay a penalty as well as those
who use them.

additional troops directs that a draft shall be made
on the sth day of. Januiteyetext for tb,deficit in
every district,' and the Provost Merttbal General is
already perfecting his arrangements for the draft.
,By, a late order the,Board of Enrollment of tech

entire enrellment in at least five places in each sub
district—the names to be in alphabetical order.—
Public notice will •then be given that any persces
enrolled may appear before the Board at any time
before the draft and have his name stricken off the
list on account of alienage, non-residence, unsuits,
ness of age or manifest physical disability. Per
sons who are cognizant of any names not on the
list who are sObject to military duty, are required
to report such names to the Board so,that:they may
be added. Claims for exemption will be heard by
the Board until the 20th of December, after which
they will hear no more until the draft is made.
The Provost Marshal of this district is now print

are almost universally overheated. The tempera

heat of June the winter through. In summer,
when the quicksilver falls twenty' or thirty degrees
in a few hours, people talk Of thevariableness of
the climate, and complain that it is terribly trying
to the constitution. But Providence is much kind-

winter. We sit in offices where the temperature is
tropical, when.the outside air is perhaps only a lit
