Do not sleep in any garment worn. during the day. 4. Most grown persons aro unable to sleep soundly and refreshingly, owei, seven hours in summer, and eight in winter ; the attempt; to force more sleep on the system by a nap in the day time, or a "second nap" in the morning renders the whole of the 'sleep disturbed and imperfect. 5.

Dressing with Taste It is strange that, with all . the time American women bestow upon dress, so few know how to prepare a simple toi lette with taste. To be well dressed means, with most, to wear rich material, made up in gorgeous style, and with all the usual accessories of lace and jewel ry, to add to the masmificence of the general effect. - Never was a greater mistake. To be well dressed is only to have attire suited to time, place, and circumstances, made in a becoming man ner. This attire may be'a shilling cali co or a rich silk, and yet in either, it is adapted to the conditions we have men tioned, a woman may be said to be well dressed, - Where household duties have to be performed, and the care of children de volves partly upon the mistress of the house, a neat print dress fitted graceful ly to the figure, is much better for morn ing wear than the faded remains of a more prdtentious costume. Nothing looks more forlorn than to see a would be lady, performing household offices, of not the most refined character, in an old torn or dirty silk dress, or a soiled and draggled open wrapper. One of the secrets of dressing well is to dress appropriately, another to be careful of the details, the, minutia cf the toilette. Thorough personal cleanliness, glossy well-byeshed hair, neat shoes and stockings, are fully as essential to a good personal appearance as the materiel and fashion of the dress. Indeed, a lady, who is particular in these miner mat ters, can hardly eier be said to be ill dressed. As this delicate refinement will not only excuse faults, but naturally show itself in the good taste which will guide her selection, no matter how small the coat may be. Some persons have :an extreme horror of being '!caught," Ca they call it, in a morning dress. Why they should be so sensitive on this point, it is difficult to say. If it is clean, and adopted to the work in which they are engaged, there is no shame in wearing, and, above all, if ought to be 'remembered that no at tire is good enough for the family, which is not good enough for mere acquaintan ces who may Chance to favor you with their society. It is much better to be caught in a plain morning dress, than to be caught very much oversdressed, as some unlucky individuals are, at a small evening party. In one case there is re al cause for mortification, in the other there is none. Mothers should carefully impress this lesson upon their daughters. Many a young lady has lost an eligible match through the discovery that the belle•of the evening was the slattern of .the morning, -and that she paid more atten tion to the number of her flounces thin the cleanliness of her person, more care on the brilliance of her head-dress than the condition of her hair. DICNITV TAKEN DOWN.—Happening in conversation a friend the other day and, naturally, talking about the treat ment Union soldiers reeeived from la dies(?) of secesion proclivities, my friend told me that, in Alexandria, the secess ionists teach their children to throw stones at and spit upon the Union soldiers, and to call them by ol)probriolis titles, which instructions the young re bels generally carry out to the letter. Among other things, I was ,told of a very good joke which occurred there a few days since. It appears the ladies(?) are in the habit of, in various ways show ing their contempt for the soldiers ; and while one of them was passing a hospit al on King street, showing them, by her manoeuvres, that she despiSed them, she held her dress somewhat higher than monesty demands. Soldier, sitting with some others outside the hospital, ex claimed, "Whew ! what a dirty pair of stockings I" which caused Miss She-cesh to drop her crinoline instantly. . Guess they had better see that they have clean hose before they flirt their dignity at Union .soldiers. Er The authorship of the popular slangphrase : "I don't see has been attributed to Lard Nelson. At the battle of Copenhagen, Nelson, who was -determined to continue the fight, but whose attention had been called to a signal of the commanding officer to cease Hostilities, placed his hand over his good eye, and pretending to look with his blind one, said : don't see it." • 0 - We have heard of ninny things - on which topers cOntrivo - to get drunk., but of nothing so strange as that in the case of James Quigley, who, as_reported, was convicted •of having. got drunk: on the testimony of two police offfeers. _They must have had very strong breaths.- le' We-find a very interesting letter in The Press, from St. Petersburg, from which we make the following extracts : " By-invitation Mr. Cameron, our min ister visited one of the country palaces on last Subday (June 29th) and was in troduced to the Empress. Mr. 13ayard Taylor and Mr. Clay accompanied him, and they were Met by-several of the im perial carriages at the depot, and pro ceeded to one of the palaces built by the great Catharine. It is over 1,200 feet in front, and -is surrounded by about 6,000 acres of park— such a park as those who have not crossed the A_tlantic have never been privileged to see When the diplomatic party reached the portals they were met by the usual retinue of servants, or " gentlemen is livery," wearing 'red coats and white trowsers, eMbroidered with gold lace. The Empress is a strict member of the 'Greek Church; and when our minis ter arrived was at worship: About twelve o'clock they, were announced and introduced by the master-of-ceremonies, Count —. The Empress was 'attired in a black silk robe, and in herdress dis played not a single ornament, for the mere ornament's sake. She spoke to Mr. Cameron cordially and quietly in English, marked with the German ac cent, and very much, I am told, like many of our Pennsylvanians of - German descent in Lancaster, Burks, and Le high. Her Majesty had but.one attend ant—a lady dressed, like herself, in sim ple black. During the conversation the minister asked the Empress to send the heir-ap. parent to America, and described the visit of the Prince of Wales, urging also that the sympathy our people had re ceived froth the Emperor in the begin ning of the rebellion had made all.otie papers. his' friends. Ile promised her, too, such a reception as no one had met with in America since the visit of La fayette. She did not seetn'to think she could.trust - the heir-apparent, bat said that when her younger, son; whom she has devoted to the navy, is old enough, he should visit us. ,The Prince is ap proaching his 2 Oth year, is very intelli gent and manly in appearance, more so than the English heir-apparent.

Wearing thin shoes and. cotton stockings upon damp nights and in cool rainy weather: Wearing insufficient clothing, and especially upon the Moths and extremities. . 2. Leading a life of.enfeebling stupid laziness, and.keeping the mind in an un natural state of excitement reading ro mances. Going to theatres, parties and balls, in all sorts of weather, in the thin nest possible dress. Dancing till in a complete perspiration, and then going home without sufficient over-garments through the cold damp air. 3. Sleeping on feather beds in seven by-nine bed-rooms, without ventilation at the top of the windows, and - especially with two or more persons in.the same small unventilated bed-room. 4. Surfeiting on hot and very stimula ting dinners: Eating in . a hurry, wit:fl out half masticating your food, and .eat ing heartily before going to bed every. night, when the mind and body :are ex hausted by the toils of the day and ex citement of the evening. , 5. Beginning in childhood on tea and coffee, and going . from one step to an other through chewing and smoking. to bane°, and drinking-intoxicated liquors ; by personal abuse, and physical and men tal excessess of every description. - - G. Marrying, in haste, and 'getting au uncongenial companion, and living the remainder elite 'in' mental 'dissatisfac tion, cultivating ;jealousies and domestic broils, and being always in a mental fer ment. 7. Keeping children quiet by giving them paregoric and cordial's, by -teach ing them to suck candy, and by supply ing them with raisins, nuts and rich cake. When they are sick, by giving mercn ry, tartar - emetic' and arsenic, under the mistaken notion that they are medicines and net'irritant poisons. 8.

Glp - IA.N DEAD-110USES.—In_ many of the towns of Germany, there is at the en 'treuce of the cemetry a building . called, the Dead-]louse, where, at the request of families, bodies may be deposited for a few days before interment. By this plan, the danger of burying ali've is pre vented. That at Frankfort is the best constructed place of the kind the whole of the. Germanic Confederation.— It consists of a central room, which looks,, by as many windows, into twelve smaller rooms. In each of them is an iron. bedstead, on which the open coffin is laid. Over. the head of the corpse is sispended a small .cord, to, the end. of Which are attached by wires, ten brass thimbles; and• these are I.lace'd on the ten fingers. of the body. Should the slightest movement be made., a bell would be rung and alarm a person sta tioned by relays in the .central room night and day, and who "is forced, by a piece of ni. , chanisna to keep con stantly awake. Since 1833, no instance has ever occurred of the bell being rung. Medicines, baths and other. re medies, are always,,Lept in_readiness, but never have been used ; and let du ring that Wile thousands of bodies have bad the thimbles placed on their fingers.

The sesquiexide .of chromium resists the action of all acids, except -boiling nitric acid and that destroys the texture of the bill.
