We wfiv sit tins; on 'l lie j.ou-li of the farm lumsc, on the summit of the hill, :inl "Aunt K-u-hel was sitting res'fi-tlully lielow our level, on the steps for she was our servant, and colored. She was of mighty frame and stature; she wjm sixly years old, but her eyes were undiiiinietl and her strength unabated. She was a cheerful, hearty sonl, and it was no more trouble for her to laugh than it was fora bird to sing. She was un der fire, now, as usual when the day was done. 1 lint is to say, she was being chaffed withont mere, and was enjoviiifj- it.- She would let off peal after jieal of laughter, and ilien sit with her faee in her hands and shake with throes of enjoyment which she could no longer get breath enough to express. At such a moment as this a thought occurred to me, and I said: "Aunt Rachel, how is it that yon have lived sixty years and never had any trouble? She stopped quaking. She paused, and there was a moment of silence. She turned her face over her shoul- ler toward me, and said, without even a smile in her voice : "Mislo C , is you in 'arnest?" It. surprised me a good deal; ajid it sobered my manner and my speech, too. I said : "Why, I thought that is, I meant why, you can't have had any trou ble. 1 never heard you sigh, and never seen your eye when there wasn't a laugh in it." She faced fairly around now, and was full of earnestness. "lias I had any trouble? Slisto C , l's Vwine to tell vou, den I leave it to you. I was, born down 'mongst de slaves I knows all 'bout slavery, Vase I been one of 'em my own se'f. Well, sah, my ole man dat's my husban' he was lovin' and kind to me, jist as kind as you is to yo' own wife. Aud we had chil'en, and we loved dein chil'en jist the same as yon loves yo' chil'en. ' Dey was black, but de .Lord can't make no chil'en so black but what dey mother loves 'em and would'nt give 'em np, no, not for any thing dat's in dis whole world. "Well, sah, I was raised in ole Fo' ginny, but my mother was raised in Maryland; an' my soul, she was tnr rible when she'd git started! My lan'! but she'd make de fur fl v ! Wen she'd git into dem tantrums, she al ways had one word dat she said. She'd straighten Tierse'f up an' put her fists in her hips an' say, "I want you to undeistan' dat I wa'nt bawn in de mash to fool' by trash ! I is one o' de ole blue lien's chickens, I is!" 'Case you see, dat's what folks dat's bawn in Maryland calls deyselves, an' dey's proud of it Well, dat was her word. ' 1 don't ever forgit it, be ca'se she said it one day, when my little Henry tore his wrist' awful, an' most busted his head, right up at de toD of his forehead, an' de niggers didn' fly aroun fas' enough to 'tend to him. An' when dey talk' back at her, she up an' says, 'Look a-heah!' she says, 'I want you niggers to un derstan' dat I wa'nt bawn in de mash to be fool' by trash! Ps one o' do ole blue hen's chicken, I is!' An' den she clar' dat kitchen an' band age' up de chile herse'f. So I says dat word, too, when I'g riled. f Well, by-em-by my ole mistis say she's broke, an' she's got to sell all de niggers on de place. An' when I heah dat dey gwyne to sell us all off at oction in Richmon', oh, de good gracious! I know what dat mean!" Aunt Rachel had gradually risen, while she warmed to her subject, and now she towered above us, black against the stars. "Dey put chains on us, an' put us on a stan' as high as dis porch twenty feet high an' all the people stood aroun' crowds an' crowds. An' dey'ed come up dar an' look at us all round, and squeezer our arm, an' make us git up an' walk, an' den say, Dis one too ole,' or, 'dis one too lame,' or 'dis one don't 'mount to much.' An' dey sole my ole man au' took him away, an' fcjf begin to sell ray chil'en an' take Jem away' an' I begin to cry; -n' de man say, 'Shet up yo' dam olubbcr in', an' hit me on de nipuf w'-- "-8 han'. An' when de las' e was gone but my little Heiirr. 1 STb .h,m clost up to my bies' so, an I ns up an' says, 'You sh''t take nim away I says, 'I kill -- man ,da' lfiches him!' I says.

Well, dar wns my ole man gone, an' all my phil'en, all my seven chil 'en an' six of 'era I haint set eyes on n gin to dis day, an' dat's twenty two years ago las Easter. De man dat bought me b'long in Newborn, an' he took me dar. Well, bvnibv. tie years roll an' de w.iw come. My marster he was a confederit colonel, an' I was his family cook. So when de Union took dat town, dev all run away an left me all by mysefwid de other niggers in d'at mons'ous big house. i-0 de big Union officers move ill dai, an' dey ask me would I cook for dem. 'Lor' bless. you,' says I, 'dat's what l's for.' Der wa'nt no emoll fry officers. mine you, dey was de biggest dey is; at' de way dey make Jem sojers mosey round! De Gen'l hetole me to boss dat kitchen; an he say, 'If anybody come meddlin wid you, jist make em walk chalk; don't yon be afeard,' he say, 'yons 'inong frens now. Well, I thinks to myself, if my little Henry ever got a chance to run away, he'd make to de norf, of couse. So one day I come in dar whan de big othcers was, in de par lor, an I draps curtchy, so, an I up an toleem bout my Henry, dey alist enin' to my troubles jist de same as if was white folks; an I says, 'What I come for is becase if he got away and got up Norf whah yougemmen comes from, yon might a seen him, maybe, an could tell me so I could fine him agin; he was very leetle, an he had a skyar on his left wrist, an at de top of his forehead. Den dey look mournful, and degen'I say, 'Ilow long sence you lose him?' an I say 'ihirteeii year.' Den de gen 1 say, 'He wouldn t be little no more, now he s a man. I never thought of dat before! He was only dat little feller to me vit, I never thought bout him growin' up an bein big. But I see.it den. None of de gemir.en had run acrost him, so dey couldnt do noftin for me. But all dat time, do' I didn't know it, my Henry was run off to de Norf years an years, an he was a barber, too, an work for hisself. An bymby, when de waw come, he ups an he says, 'l's done barberin, he says; 'Is goin to fine my ole mammy, less'n she's dead.' so he sole out an went to whar dey was recruitin, and hired hisself ont to de colonel for his ser vant; an den he went all through de battles every whar, huntiu for his ole mammy; yes, indeedy, he'd hire fust to one officer an den another, till he ransacked de whole Souf; but you see, I didnt know nuffin about dis. How was I gwyne to know it? Well, one night dey had a Dig so- jer ball, de sojers dar at Newbern was always havin balls, an carryin on. Uey had era in my kitchen, heaps o' times, kase it was so bigr. Mine you, I was down on such do ins, becase my place was wid de offi cers, an it rasp' me to have dem common sojers cavortin round my kitchen like dat. But I always stood round and kept things straight, I did; an sometimes dey'd git my dan der np, an den I'd make em clar out dat kitchen, mine I tell you! Well, one nicht it was a Friday night dey comes a whole plattoon from a nigger regment dat was on guard at de house de house was headquar;er8, you know and den I was jist a bilin'! Mad? I was jist a boouiin' ; I was just a itcin' for 'em to do suffin' for to start me. And dey was a-waltzin' an a dancin'! my! but dey was havin a time! an' I jist a swellin' an' a swellin' up! Poorty soon 'long come such a spruce young nigger a saihn down deroom wid a yeiler wench roun' de wais';an roun' an roun' an roun' dey went, enough to make a body drunk to look at 'em; and when dey got abreas' o' me; they went to kin' o' balacin' fust on one leg an' den on t'other an' smilin' at my big red turban, an- makm fun, an 1 ups an' says, 'git along wid you! rub bage! De young man's lace kin' o' changed, ail of a sudden, for 'bout a second, but den he went to smilin' agin, same as he was befo'. Well, 'bout this time in comes some nig gers dat played de music, an' b'long to de ban', and dey never git along withont puttm' on airs. An de very fust air dey put on dat night, I lit into dem! Dey laughed, and dat made me wnss. De res' o' de niggers go to laughin' an' den my soul alive, but I was hot. My eyes was iust a blazin ! 1 list straigten- ed myself up, so jist as I is now, plum to de ceiun' mos an' 1 digs my fists into my hips, an' I says, I want you nigfrere to understan a at.

SLEEP AND NO SLEEP. It was in Casa Guidi, in the 'City of Florence, that I was first led by a singular experience ' to study the phenomena of sleep, or rather of no sleep. It was Sunday night; after a day not marked by any special excite ment, I went "to bed expecting to sleep as soundly as usual. Mindight came, and the small hours grew larg er, and I was still wide awake. The associations of the room and the house thronged me. Mis. Janison had W'ritten some of her delightful poems on the very table near my bed. Mrs. Browning had made the "house clas sic and. memorable bv giving its name to her most favorable poem, for in this palace she wrote and died ; and, over the door, the Florentines have placed a tablet to her memory. J ust across the way is the gate of the Pitti Palace, and thBre are shrined the loveliest work of art. Aud so, with the thoughts that had been going on here, aud with other thoughts that crossed the sea the night wore away and morning came, but not a wink of sleep. Monday was spent as usual visiting the galleries and churches. aud when night came, I retired again and arose the next morning without a moment of sleep. And now I had mc to Dr. Wilson and told him my simple story, th-ttl was quite well, but had forgotten how to get asleep ! Under his care tli third time brought a little sleep. but it was six mouths before normal sleep became my habitual enjoy ment. Since, and by that Florence experience, 1 have learned that tood and exercise and phvsic are not more important for life and" health than sleep. It is a religions duty to sleep, and to sleep enough ; and h who does not, may be sure that h is breaking the tiixth Commandment, which requireth the lawful eiideav ors to preserve oar own Life, as well as lives of others. There is scarcely a better health meter for men who think much, than this. Hard mental work is begin ning when it interferes with sleep. and he who plies his brain wi.Ui eve so much energy eight or ten hours a day, and prays ami iilays five or six, and sleeps seven or eight, will never die of overwork. But he roust make a business of it. Brain work, good exercise in the open air, culture of the sonL social relaxation and sleep these are tbe coiwstitu ents of good living, aud they will be attended by health, wealth, use fulness aud happiness. If anything else is wanting, it will be added thereunto. The old theory was that sleep is induced by pressure of blood on the brain, liecause the stupor of apo plexy follows congestion of the brain, it was held that sleep was somewhat like an incipient disease very stupid theory, for so far from being like disease, is "the sweet restorer of the waste that bramwork makes. Congestion is imminent when the brain is pressed hard with blood, aud it is doing more than its duty, lint when tbe brain has been laid bare by remov ing a portion of the skull o a living animal, it is obvious to the eye that as sleep comes, the brain occupies less sleep than before, and as the an imal awakes, the brain expands and fills the cavity again. sometimes, on rising suddenly m bed trom s sound sleep, one is dizzy or light headed, and that is because the blood has not had time to gain its normal circulation in the upper story. And it is not well to spring up quickly on waking; take things moderately, then, as at all times. Thus we see the necessity of sleep, that the waste of the whole nevous system, occasioned by the wear and tear of mental and physical labor through the day, "may be repaired. You cannot make machinery out of the hardest steel and of the most polished surface that will not wear out or break down. Add all the machinery on earth combined would not show workmanship so delicate, and nmshed, and nttea to such ex quisite service as the body and mind of a man. Even the muscular sys tem of a horse gives out wh;n iest is denied. We are told the Lord taketh riot pleasure in tie legs of a man, but when a man -'oes not pride himself on his powers oi waiaung, and attempts nedless and foolish experiments, 'he result uniformly proves that -e lws of nature are the laws of God. Their violation by a -nrofeFBional walker is wrong, and they v ho abet him, or bet on him, are partners of nts riu, And If the calves of the legs need rest, and the hamal or porter who carries a thousand pounds on his back must sleep, and sleep enough, or die, much more must the braiu worker sleep, soundly and long, or be will fly off the handle. It has been publicly stated that ten bank presidents in this city were killed by the commercial crash of 1857. Not one of them would have died of that disaster had he given ten hours a day to business and eight to sleep. I do not fciipw wiat Shakespeare meant when ho wrote that "sleep knits up the reveled sleeve of care;" but I well know, by long experiment, that when care has wasted and unravelled the web of life, so that the man is falling into sixes and sevens, like an old stock ing or knitted sleeve, then kind sleep comes to his aid, knits it all up again, and makes him as good as new. The victims of no sleep from our banks and stores, go w audering over Europe like the spirits of the gos pels, seeking rest and finding none, because they hasted to be rich, and would not, and then could not, sleep. Prince Albert, that model prince consort, worth any dozen kiugs of the common herd, and gave a writ ten certificate to the value of a re cipe, for going to sleep, of which a man claimed to be the discoverer. But it was in use long before "His Royal Highness" was dreamed of, and is of no great value. The only directions worth repeating are to "stop thinking," and in order to do tn&inioBi aimcuu oi an tor a nuun ing man so do, headwork and hand work must be suspended at an earlv hour, the mind relieved by such light employment ai will divert in as it thought from the serious business of the day, and the nervous system will then be calmed and soothed, so as to induce that peace which fore tells sleep. The devices are many and curious to win this boon. But they all amount to tbe same thing the diversion of thought from any subject that excites mental effort. Hunger and cold are unfavorable to sleep. It is not so unwholesome as many suppose, to go to bed after a good supper. The sleep of infancy always follows it, - All dumb anu mals cat aud then sleep. Reason, forbid" gluttony, and reason "also forbids going to bed with a stomach craving food. Keep the body warn and head uncovered, so that the blood may be tempted away from the brain, and not into it. Daniel Webster said he bad a great talent for sleeping. Mr. Pierce, when ke was President of the Unite! States, said -that, distracting business often engaged him until midnight, but when he laid his head on his pillow he went instantly to sleep and did JuOit wake umil roused by the seOjtfjUit tat eight in the morning. John Qr-iflcy Adams never went td sleep at nigli-t jvithout first repeat ing the chiLdB -prayer "Now I lay me down," &c.

IRENÆUS. Elephant Laborers. It would be too long to relate all the uses to which elephants are ap plied in Burmah. Let ns watch them at work among the wood yards, where the trunks of the tick wood trees, which come floating dtfirn the river, are piled. Every WA4-kifl elephant is mounted by a driver f&sded a "coraac," .whose principal ftusjness is rather to ex eite.tie wpwl .thjan to direct it In the season yVUe,u j$a roads are cai-. the trunk ,corne tdOjW0 to the bar much faster than they fw be dis posed of in tHe saw mills, and they accumulate in vast quantities along the bank. It is necessary, therefore, to drag the trees out of the water, and arrange them in piles until such a lime as they can be cut np. There are only three sorts of piles, vary ing with the sizes of the trees. First an elefitaijt jq he water clears the logs from the Ase apd ranges them one by one upon the river tiaak. He carefully examines the chaos of logs and proceeds with tusk and trunk to disengage th) tree he has. selected, and which he intends to carry to land. As soon as the tree is placejj on the bank another elephant is har nessed to it and draws it to the wood-yard, where he leaves it. Two other elephants now come up, aud one of them takes one end of the log in his trunk and drags it to the pile upon which, in view of its size, it ought to be placed, while itsjeom panion assists him by pushing the log with all his might. As soon a they reach the proper pile, the first elephant lifts the top of the log up on the pile, then he forms a kind of ring around th log with his trunk, while the other, with a vigorous blow of the head. shoOts tha log in to its place. The intelligence iis- played by these animals ia aiu?c-st in credible, nd we should s-airIy have believed it if we had not seeii their movements as described above. Revue des Deux Mondes. All a Mistake. It was only two days ago Jones was injudiciously fulL Being pain fully aware of inebrity, he endeav ored to conceal it from the public by buttoning his coat np very lo-oee- ly, imparting an abuormal siiffnesa to his knees.

Anxious to cover up this disgraceful fact, and turn the matter off respectably, he shortly turnet) again with tbe bland observation : "Well, if I'd anone that, I wouldn't got out." He blinked oft into an unconscious state m a little while, then "woke with his eves wide open, to show that he had only been thinking.

Jtni Hamilton, a noted poacher at Craw fordjohn, was once asked by a wo- - man to pray for an old woman who as lying at the point of death. "I canna pray," said lie. "Hut ye maun o't, Jamie," said the old woman. Weel, if I maun do't, I maun do't; but I haena muckle to say," said Ja mie.
