u Most of the question. propoumlcd

or so to cxuupcraio them that they would
indignantly refuse to ansvrcr. Think of
it, citizens!
" Do you think a nepro is :oad enough
to shoot a white man?" Thin was a
question very frequently asked, and if
unswered in tho neutivo you were din
loyal. Or if you felt that it wan intended
only to insult you, and you refused to
answer it. you wtvo Mimmurily rejected
for not answering juttioiM. Wo could
not help liKkini:o: and wondering if they
could underMand why men endured the
things M ju!ctly nud repeet fully. If
they could epprcciuto that sublime p.t
tieuce with which tho most ;atriotie men
can hometimcs httbmit to tJidinitici. le
low are Mmo of the profound coriun
druuiHof the three vsUe men :
Are you a rcr.idc'tit t f tli Statc?
Iluw did you t'lirul! in
Do you believe ia every measure adopt,
ed by the government to put down rebel
lion ?
Were y:u an unconditional union man ?
Did yuu believe in arming the tslave-
to t-ooi white men ?
Do you believe that a nejrro U good

How did you feci when Price raided in
Ohio
Did you help the government any?
Did you talk all the time iu your con
versation in favor of the Union cauc '!
Did you havo any fut.t:ivv in the
.;Uth, if to, did you fympaihuo with
thou '!
What did you think of Mr. LIucoh
proclamation ?
These men teemed to be conducting
the whole farce in a constant Mate of
alarm and uueaMncs., threatening to cave
on the slightest tinc of any character
being made. They refu-ed to answer the
mofft polite and civil qu-Miu that could b
propuunded ; and if any one found out
the exact number registered, it is more
than wc were able to acoomp!ih. We feel
well aured however that utile many
are added during the n-.ion of the Hoard
of Review, out vt" between cvcu nud

said old Uncle John, who was looking oa,
'that's less than sixty dollars apeice for a

agent, "that is the law. That is legal

it." "I now," said the agent, "must call

I've a couple of hundred for you to-day,
if it is convenient for you to receive it,"
and he took out of his right hand pocket
ten twenty dollar gold pieces and laid
them on tho table before the greedy eyes
of Mr. Smith. "What!" exclaimed the
soldier, "is Mr. Smith any better than
me 'i You gave me greenbacks, and you
give him gold." "Ah !" said the agent,
impatiently, " you must learn to under
stand things. Mr. Smith is a patriot, and
you you're only a poor soldier.

the French and Kni;lish had made his
name familiar to all Europe,' Dr.
Franklin chanced to dino with 'the
English and French Ambassadors,
when as nearly ns the precise words
can he recollected, the following toasts
were drunk :
England Tho Sun, whoso hcams
of brightness enlighten and fructify
the remotest corners of the earth. .
The French Ambassador, filled with
national pride, but being too polite to
dispute the previous toast, drank the
following.
France The Moon, whose mild,
steady and cheering rays aro the de
liirht of all nations, consoling 'them in
darkness and making their dreariness
beautiful.
Dr. Franklin then rose, and with
his usual simplicity, said :
Georiro Washington The Joshua

to stand still, and they obeyed him.

City and County is the name of an
ably conducted paper published atNyack,
New York. It has heretofore been in
dependent in politics, but a few weeks
ago it run up the Seymour and Blair
banner. In taking this ntcp, the editor
states that in I860 he was a supporter of
the Iiepublican party, and voted for Lin
coln. But, he added:
" The emergencies which exist in our
National aud State affairs, brought about

A KATTLI'SNAKi: TLAYINd TUB AGSEKA
15I.E TO A .STl'DKNT.
Last Monday morning Mr. Ilichard
Bennett, a student who is enjoying a
summer vacation at his father's well ap
pointed mansion, a short distance south
west of Dubuque, took a volume of Ten
nyson's poems iu his hand, and wandered
out to repose beneath some rocks which
extcuded a grateful shade, and also to
feast his soul upon the poetical truths
and beauties breathed forth by the poet
laureate, lie flung himself dowu upon
the grass, and was soon lo!iu contempla
tion of king nvJ princess, shady grottoes,
summer bowers, and enchanted laud, tin
,:.!, overcome by tho themes presented,
aud tho warm weather, he fell asleep. ;
How long lie (ay thus he knew not, it
might have been for hours ; but he was
uddculy awaked .by a peculiar rustling
noise close bestue him. Instinctively he
turned his head toward tho point from
whence tho sound proceeded, when he
beheld a sight which filled him with hor
ror, aud which he, if an ordinary man,
will not be apt to forget until his dying
day. There, not four feet from him,
coiled up as 1! ready ior a spring, with
head erect, eyes darting tire, and tougue
playing like the forked lightning from
tho bosom of the clouds, was an enormous
rattlesnake over eight feet in length. It
would be difficult to describo the feelings
of Bennett at that moment. Fresh and
vigorous, in the spriug time of life, the
world with its dazzling futuro before him,
hardly a stone s throw from hi father's
house, death in its most terrible form had
apparently come upon him. Ilis pres
ence of mind did not desert him, how
ever, and he lay perfectly motionless, fix
ing hts eyes upon those ot his suakeship
and awaiting for ucw developments.
This appeared to suit the latter. Gradu
ally he relaxed his menacing attitude, and
lowering his head, commenced tp crawl
slowly toward Bennett, at the same time
emitting a low, murmuuing, siugmjr
sound, winch tne impromptu hearer ue
scribes as having been really delightful.
Nearer aud nearer came tho snake, Ben
nett remaining perfectly motionless, not
daring to move for fear of the terrible
fangs, until finally the monster actually
crawled over his legs, and nestled dowu
by his side like a pet kitten, as much as to
say that ho was well pleased with his new
companion, and would forego hostilities
Hero was a dilemma, and how to get out
of it was tho difficulty. While Bennett
was speculating as to how this could be
done, and revolving over a thousand
ril:ins !V nr!rljl-inr fhiinrfrl tri n?iea nlcm
who comprehended tho w hole situation at
a glance, !"d at a mute gesture from Ben
nctt, rushed to the house for assistance.
Ho procured a rifle, and, coming back
put tho muzzle within two feet of the
ticau 01 the serpent, ana yiui a sieauy
aira punea trigger, xuero was ueuieu
report, and the next instant the snake
was writhing in his death agony, while
Bennett bounded from the ground, and
with tho exclamation,' "Saved! saved!"
fell fainting in the arms of his preserver.

expands Us energies and itself during the
hours of wakefulness, and these are re
cuperated during !eep; if the recupera
tion docs not equal I he expenditure, the
brain withers -this is insanity. Thus it
is, that in early English history, persons
who were condemned to death-by being
prevented from fslecping always died rav
ing maniac ; thus it is, also, that those
who are starved to death become inranc ;
the brain is not nourished, and they can
not tdeep. The practical inferences arc
these :
1. Thwc who do most brain work,
lhoe who think most, require mo-jt sleep.
li. That time paved from ncccsary
sleep is infallibly destructive to ruicd,
body and estate.
,'J. Give your elf, your children, your
servants give all that arc uud'-r you
the fullest amount of sleep they will take,
compelling them to retire at sou.c regular
hour, and to ric the moment they wake;
and within a fortnight, nature, with al
most the regularity t the un, will un
loose the bands of tlecp the moment
enough repose has becu jecurcd for the
wants of the system. This is the only
safe and sufficient rule; and as to the
question how much sleep one requires,
each must bo a rule to himself. Nature
will never fail to write it out to the ob
server under the regulations jut given.
