EARLY RIsING.-From March to November, a
least, no cause, save sickness, or one of equal
weight should retain US in bed one moment after
the has risen-so says DR.. Granville, in his
Catechism of Health, upon whose rules however,
we cannot consent to act. The following from
Times Telescope, is more in accordance with our
notions
"Whosoever is found in bed after six o'clock,
from Mayday to Michealmas, cannot in any con-
science, expect to be free from some ailment or
other, dependent on relaxed nerves. stuffed lungs,
disordered bile, or impaired digestion. Nothing
can be done-absolutely nothng-if you do not
rise early, except drugging your draughts, luxury
which the indolent morning sleeper must prepare
himself to purchase dearly. We give him JOY of
his choice; bid him good by, and springing out
into the sunny air, we gather health from the
heath and become young again among the glitter
ing May due and the laughing May flowers"
What a luxury the sons of sloh lose! - says
Harvey in his fowery Recollectons on Flower
Garden; little, ah little is the sluggard sensible
how great pleasure he foregoes for the poorest
of all animal Qualifications Be persuaded; make
an effort to shake off the pernicious habit"
fields; lodge in the villages get up early to the
vineyards" )" mark the budding flowers, listen to
the joyous birds-in word, cultivate morning
pleasures, and health and vigor must certainly fol-
low.
THE BEDoUIN ARABs.-The last was by far the
most interesting day of my journey to Mount Sinai
We were moving along broad valley, bounded
by ranges of lofty and crumbling mountains for
ming an immense rocky rampant on each side of
US; and rocky and barren as these mountains SEEM
ed, on their tops were gardens which produced
oranges, dates, and figs in great abundance. Here,
hoi al L,,44 IL,
dren Of the desert, the Bedouin pitches his tent,
pastures his sheep and goats, and gains the slen-
der subsistence necessary for himself and family;
and often looking up the bare side of the mountain
we could see on Its SUBMITS edge the wild figure
ola half-naked Arab, with his long matchbox gun
in his hand, watching the movement of our little
caravan. Sometimes too, the eye rested upon the
form of woman stealing across the valley, not a
traveller or passer-by but dweller in the land
where no smoke curled from the domestic hearth,
and no sign of a habitation was perceptibe. There
was something very interesting TO me in the gree
tings of my companions with the other young
from journey to Cairo, an event in the life of a
young Bedonin; and they were bringing stranger
from land that none Of them had ever heard Of;
yet their greeting had the GOODNESS Of frosty age
and the reserve Of strangers; twice they would
gently touch the palms of each others hands; NUT
tel a few words, and in moment the welcomcrs
were again climbing to their. ents One, re-
member greeted US more wan = and stayed lon
ger among US. He was by profession beggar or
robber as occasion required, and wanted something
from US, but it was not much; merely some bread
and charge Of powder. Not far from the track
we saw, hanging on thornbush, the black cloth
OF Bedouln's tent, with the pole, ropes pegs, and
every thing necessary to convert it into a Rabia-
ton for family II had been there civ noon,b,.
the owner had gone to new pasture ground and
there it had hung, and there it would hang, sacred
and untouched, until he returned to claim it. 1T
belongs to one Of our tribe, and cursed be the hand
that touches it, is the feeling Of every Bedouip.
Uncounted gold might be exposed in the same way;
and the poorest Bedouin, though robber by birth
and profession, would pass by and touch it not.
