There were but" two places vacant when the coach drew up at the cottage door: one of them was an outside seat and the other was an inside. ' Mr. Marsden chose theeformer, and when Basil stepped into the interior he found himself in the company of a stout lady -we may not say fair,` for her aspect was somewhat grim and scowling, and she evinced her dissatisfaction at Basil s entrance by an audible grumble at the annoyance of being crowded and stied in a public vehicle. By the lady s side sat a gentleman of middle age, who seemed, by the unwillingness with which he made room for the youth to pas's,tu share in her disapprobation. One other passengermadc up the full com- plement; for the coach wasof` thethen ..modern and novel build, by which light- ness and consequent speed was obtained at the expense of internal capacity.

He \vas leaving behind him the scenes of hischildhood, endeared to him by a thousand remembrances of plea- sure which could never return, and of prosperity which would probably be never restored. Every step. of the road along which the coach was rapidly travelling opened to him,as he looked out at the window, some spot over which he had rambled in boyish security alone, or asthe companionof his father, or the little protector and playfellow of Minnie and Ellen; and every- cottage he passed, and every cottager s child who stood still by the road-side, staring at the coach as it whirled by, reminded Basil of some triing eventyiri his -past sliorl history. If he had been alone he niight have relieved his tumultuous feelings by tears of'sorrowf'ul regret; but he was not alone, and, to banish the painful fancies which crowded into his mind,he threw himself `back into his corner and closed his eyes.

Beside each plate stood asaucer containing the tiniest of cops, and a large porcelain spoon upon each, the latter for soup. The first thing served up was the tiny cup full of _a species of Chinese liquor, by way of an appetizer. It had a avor somewhat resembling orange peel, and was probably an extract from that sub- stance. , "l`L.:- ....... l'..lI........l I... .. _.I...- -1` 5:... L__.___ mite, me 10- ' muttcu. This was followed by a glass of fine brown Cantegnac claret, which was also absorbed before any examples were placed upon the board- Then came the soup, composed `of chioken s esh, cut in strips like narrow rib- bons, and perserved by drying it in the open air, and isinglass. l,t was quite palatable. This course was followed by pigeons stewed with delicate green beans, spring onions, and other condiments. Following this came a dish of pigeons, cooked in another style. This! was succeeded by Chinese ortolans, or other; small birds. The courses followed each other l in regular succession, until ten had been gone` through with, washed down at short intervals: with Cliquot champagne and ne claret. The eleventh course consisted of the famed bird- nests, worth their weight in Gold in China. These nests are built by a species of swallows found in the Indian seas, particularly in the island of Sumatra. n-u__ ___. 5, .1 -L___ .,r' _ _ _ _ _ _ . . _ . _,I |3|IlI\tI Ul u!lIdl|Co ' - The nest is theehape of a common swal- low : nest, and is about the size of a. goose s egg, attdhas the appearance of fibrous, int- perfectly concocted isiuglass. -Tlte substancev of which it is composed is not known, but it is supposed to be the spawn of shes, gathered by the bird, or a. secretion elaborated from the body of the swallow.

Private boxes werel provided, from whence the stage and audience could be distinctly seen. The dress circle was occupied entirely by women, and the pit by men. Itiwould be impossible to convey anything like an accurate idea of the perfor- mances, but several of the actors exhibited wonderful agility in their combat scenes. ' We gatherthe followed curious facts in re- gard to the history of pews in churches: In Anglo-Sazon and some Norman churches of very early date, a stone bench was made to project within the wall, running round the whole interior except the east end. In 1319 they are represented as sitting on the ground or standing. About this time the people intro- duced low, rude, three-legged stools promiscu~ onsly over the church. Wooden seats were in-b trodnced soon after the Norman conquest. In 1287,. a decree was issued in regard to the `wrangling for seats, so common, that none should call any seat in the church his own, except noblemen and patrons, each entering and holding the one he first entered.

As we approach the Reformation, from 1530 to 1540, seats were more appropriated, the en- ternnce being guardedvby cross bars, and the initial letters engraved on them. " Immediately after the Reformation, the pew system pre- vailed, as we learn from a complaint the poor `Commons addressed to Henry VIII. in 1546 in referenceto his decree that a Bible should be in every church at liberty for all to read, be- cause; they feared it might be taken into the quyre or some pus.

From Pews in Chuxfchcs. Doctor Brigham, of the New York Asylum for the Insane, expresses:the opinion, that the most frequent immediate cause of insanity, and one of the most important to guard against, is the want of sleep. So rarely, he says, do we see a recent case of insanity that is not pre- ceded by want of sleep, that we regard it as almost the sure precursor of mental derange- 'ment. Long continued wakefulness, con- tinues Dr. Brigham, `disorders the whole sys- tem. 'l`he appetite becomes impaired, the secretions diminished or changed, the mind dejected, and soon waking dreams occur and strange phantoms appear, which at rst may be transient; but ultimately take possession of the mind, and madness or death ensues. The doctor adds: \u_ ._.:_r. .__ --..I.l 2... ________ __ .n .t._ __ _. UUL'lU|' HUUS 8 ` - We wish we could impress upon all the vast importance of securing sound and abundant sleep; it so we should feel that we had done an immense good to our fellow-beings, not only in preventing insanity, but other diseases also. We are condent that the origin of much of the nervousness and impaired health of indi- viduals who are not decidedly sick, is owing to a want of sufiicieut and quiet rest. To procure- this should be the study of. every one. I have always taken care, said the worthy Dr. Holyoke,atter he was above one hundred years of age, `to have a fair proportion of sleep, wltieh I suppose has contributed to my lorr- g gevity. We {ear that the areal praise of early l rising has had this bad `effect, to make some believe that sleep was of but little consequence. Thou,;h it may be well to arise with the sun, l or when it is light, (not before, however,) yet this is of tninor importance in comparison with retiring early to bed. hr, Rt-inlmnr (Yl|.'P.Il tlm fnllnwinn hint: In thn IUIIIIIIE: Uilll" (U UUUo Dr. Brigham gives the following hints to the procuring `of sound sleep: A In ic imnnrlnnl 3n Ihn r-cl nhznn lhno Hun IHUIZUIIXIS Ul BUUIIU BIUUPE It is important, in the first place, that the mind should not be disturbed for sevexal hours_ before retiring to rest. nn.1n4I|1}_;D.:lirn anvil: and nnhhnr u-hnn UC|U|U ICHIIVIHE: IU Ilito Secondly--Retire early and netther when Very warm or cold ; sleep on a halt mnttrass or T on a bed not very soft.
