The stomach should be in good condition, not overloaded with undigested food. In cold weather the feet should be warmed a little before retiring and all cares and anxious thoughts dismissed. The bed for the young and middle aged should be of husks or hair, but a clean featherbed is the best for old persons. The feet and lower limbs should be warmly covered, so as to draw the blood from the bead, and prevent dreaming. It is best to lie on the right side, as that rather aids than impedes digestion, but in no case lie on the back. But under no circumstances should two persons save mother and child sleep together in the same bed, or even in the same room. Dr. Hall brings together a number of reasons why this very common practice should be done away with. It is indelicate. It destroys privacy. It weakens t. It is injurious to health, in that two persons consume more air than any common chamber holds, or than good ventilation will supply, while the difference in the temperaments and the electrical conditions of almost any two persons renders it exceedingly im proper lor tnem to occupy t tie same bed. Many a child had wilted and waned and died from no other reason than sleeping with a middle aged or an old person. The animals herd together, but human beings should each have their own bed and room. The great thing however, is to be supplied with plenty of pure air through the night. A grown person breathes about eighteen hogsheads of air in eight nours sleep. i.very breath Bomewhat vitiates all the air in the room, as a drop of ink discolors all the water in a glass; and unless the air is constantly renewed by proper ventilation it soon becomes impure and unfit to breathe, if not utterly poisoned. Death in conse quence of breathing bad air is not an unusual occurrence, but hundreds of persons have had their health impaired, their strength wasted and their lives shortened, by sleeping in close apart ments, lhere PhouiU be a free and abundant circulation of pure air through the chamber, in order to sleep well, and to get rest and refreshment from sleep; and standing water, articles of clothing, brushes, and even a carpet, should be rigidly excluded from the chamber the latter article in particular, as it collects and holds fine particles of dust which the air gathers up and deposits on the sleeper's lungs. In order to sleep well, it is best lo re tire at an early hour, and sleep until we wake, but in no case take a second nap after the morning waking, and in no case sleep more than ten minutes in the daytime when well. The system will very soon take all the sleep it needs in the night, and the sleep will be Bweet and refreshing. It does not follow that one should rise the moment he wakes, Dr. Hall thinks, and in this agrees with Henry Ward lieecher, who always plans ili work of the day before getting out of bed. PerhiiDS this ia one reason whv he is able to do so much. A Free-Lov- e Xurscry. street, near Lexington ave nue, is one of the quietest and most respectable neighborhoods in the city. Within the past few years it has been built up withclegant brown-ston- e houses, which where occupied at once by highly respectable families, and not a breath of suspicion ventured within a half a dozen squares of the place. It was, therefore, with leelinirs of the utmost astonishment and indiguution that the inmates of the adjacent houses, who were taking an airing on their front stoops about, three o'clock on Friday afternoon, saw the efficient Sergeant Phillips of the York-vill- e Court and four men make a descent brown-ston- e upon 1 10, a four-stor- y house, which they supposed was tenanted by a highly respectable family of the name of L'ltnur. Two beautiful girls, apparently about eighteen years of age each, and giving their names as Emma Tracy and Liziie Sammis, appeared before Justice Bixby early in the afternoon, and told him the following gtory: "They were residents of Boston, Mass., where they became acquainted with Mrs. Matilda Ulniar, who was on a short visit to their native city. This lady pictured to them in glowing colors the fascinations of Gotham, and so worked upon their fervid imaginations as to induce them to accompany her to this city and to what she represented to be her p.ivate residence. They soon found out their fatal mistake; and yesterday, having made all she could out of 'them, Mrs. Ulniar turned them out into the street without a cent, in their pockets, and retained their trunks and every stitch of their ward robes except what they happened to have on." The poor girls wept, and stated that they wished to reform and return lo their distracted families. Justice Bixby immediately sent the Sergeant to arrest the female fiend, and she and George Freeman, Charles Walk er, Hattie Davis, Etta Leland, and Mary ttaiker wers escorted to the court Fifty-sixt- h room. Etta Leland went into hysterics at the turn things had taken. She said that she was a married woman, residing in Ithaca, N. 1., and that her husband sup posed her to bo visiting some relatives in this city. She begged the Judge to let her go, and she would turn State's evidence, and tell all she knew about the -- COMMERCIAL. Ogden City, Utah Territory, July 20, 1870.
