Camphor.— Raspail, the celebrated French So cialist, now in prison on account of the June af fair, has pointed out one of the po >vers of camphor, which, in a psychological point of view, is most im portant —that of putting a stop to that fearful ln somnolence which accompanies the incubation ami first development of insanity ; when opium, hyoscyamus, cenium, stramonium, and “ all the drowsy syrups of the east” fail to produce any effect, a grain of camphor, formed into a pill, and followed by a draught of an ounce and a halt of the infusion of hops, mixed with live drops ol sulphuric ether, is his usual remedy for procuring sleep, and a more delicious balm to the excited mind does not exist. A gentle slumber, even in the most excited cases, generally follows, and the patient awakes refreshed, calm and composed.— His cigarettes of camphor are of much repute a rnongst the labor ng classes in France, and seam to produce a state somewhat analogous to opium smoking ; the reveries which follow upon their use have, however, less of the charm ot exciting the imagination.— Medical Journal . A Remarkable Dream.— ln a late Durham (Eng.) paper there was an account of the disappearance of Mr. Smith, gardener to Sir Clifford Constable, who it is supposed had fallen into the river 1 res, his hat and stick having been found by the water side. The river had been dragged everyday, but every effort so made to find the body proved inef fectual. On the night of Thursday, however, a person by the name of Awde, residing at Little Newsham, a small village four miles Irom Wy cliffe, dreamt that Smith was laid under the ledge of a certain rock below Whorhon Bridge, and that his right arm was broken. Awde got up ear ly on Friday, and his dream had such an effect on ; him, that he determined to go and search the riv er. He rowed to the spot he had seen in his dream, and there, strange to say, with the very first trial that he made with his boat-hook, he pull ed up the body of the unfortunate man with his ! right arm actually broken. The man who marries a woman older than him self, for the sake of the little money she possesses, commits a species of high treason against nature, and renders himself ridiculous and detestable. — He cannot promise in his heart to be faithful to her, and, at the very moment he utters the most solemn of all promises, feels that he is a hypo crite. But where the disparity is trifling, we do not see why the strictest fidelity should not be pre served, or that the husband should have the ef frontery to plead as an excuse for neglect, the fact that his wife happened to be a year older himself. However, it is only proper that in all cases the husband should be the oldest, for we can scarcely conceive it possible that a full grown wo man could honor and obey a husband much young er than herself. When she cannot, the conjugal tie is severed, and discord and misery darken the household. A fellow writing from somewhere out west, savs : “ We started for some little town in the vi cinity ot Holstein. I would not undertake tospeli or pronounce the name —but it will take Kickapoo and Ojibbeway, and mix them up with Ompompanoosnc, Scotch snuff’, and Passama quodv, and pronounce the whole backwards with a sneeze, you will get within about six miles of it.” Retort to a Miser. —There was a miser in Bag dad, making his dinner of bread and honey, when a friend came in, whom be feared that he should ask to eat. He hastily hid the bread, thinking that the other would not eat the honey alone. In this he was disappointed; seeing the combs rap idly disappear, he said, “My friend, do you not know that honey is unwholesome? it closes the heart.” “Yes,” replied the guest, “it closes your heart.” It is the same with the love of boys and girls as it is with water —unless disturbed, it is apt to stagnate. The attentions paid in courtship ought to be varied; a sameness of manner and tone spoils the prettiest compliments aud the warmest expressions of endearment. Woman are the brightest ornaments of our life. In their society we find our best solace ; and all the cares and toils of our worldly life are forgot ten. The good wife and mother, seated in the centre of her family, is the best jewel in the crown of society. He who does not honor such a woman has no honor in himself. Men speak too much about the world. Each one of us here let the world go how it will, and be victorious or not victorious, has he not a life of his own to lead? The world’s being saved will not save us, nor the world’s being lost destroy us. We should look to ourselves, there is great merit here in the “ duty of staying at home.” Would a man frequently calculate his income and expenditure, he would escape many a bitter reflection ; for he must be lost to every generous feeling of pride and honorable principle, who wan tonly incurs debts which he knows he cannot dis charge. The best cure for low spirits is business. One halt of the melancholy that you run against is caused by indolence and feather beds. The best fun in the world is activity.
