Sleep-How to obtain it.

Persons engaged in literary pursuits Of
life in the various professions, or in those
occupations where the brain is more cxer-
eised than the body, frequently experience
great difficulty in obtaining sleep. To such,
the following hints will! be Of service, if re-
garded. Before retiring, take short, brisk
walk Of half an hour, or such other physical
exercise in the open air as may be convcn-
lent and agreeable, then a cold bath, after
which the entire body should be rubbed
briskly with the hand or a soft iosiel. This
will cquaize the circulation of the blood.
drawing portion of it from the brain and
cxtremities. No food should be taken du-
ring the evening. Tea, Coffee and other
stimulants should also be avoided
No person should retire with cold or damp
feet for besides preventing sleep, they cause
various ills, such as colds. coughs, cramps,
out of which may grow more serious diseas-
es, and perhaps end in consumption. When
no fire can be had by which - warm the
feet, they may be made comfortable by a
severe rubbing with towel, or even the ma
kcd hand.
1t will not be prudent or safe at any time
TO resort to medicines for the purpose Of
procuring sleep, and if once practiscd, even
on child, mischief may grow out of it.
Every individual requires from six TO eight
hours sleep out of every twenty four.
Children from the age of one month to d
year should sleep at least twelve hours
Those from two 10 five years Of age may
sleep ten hours.
Women require more sleep than men,
and farmers less than those engaged in al
most any other occupation. Editors, auth
ors, and artists need more sleep than those
of most other professions. The same is true
Of precocious children.
1t is not well to sleep in a room in which
fire has been through the day.
Every sleeping room should be well ven-
tiatcd through the day. The second floor
is always preferable to the ground floor. Too
much clothing shonld be avoided, as unnec-
essary warmth is always debilitating.-Wd-
ter Cure Journal.

LIsTLEasNEss OF MIND.--There il an
inactiyirr-a listlessncss Of mind which per-
mfs thoughts and feelings to drift past US
like the thousand objects OF varied land
scape cleaning on the eye ofa railway trav-
eller, unexamined, unarranged, unremem-
bered; half slumbering state of mind in
which it becomes passive, and thoughts fit
over us, rather than pass through us, like the
shadow clouds over the lakes surface. This
is perncious habit to be guarded against
and assailed with the most resolute energy
of will, by every man who would be master
of himself, and live life of advantage to
his kind. 1t is worse than unobservant va
grancy Of eye or ear. A man may be some-
thing who can pass through the finest exter-
hal scenery without having his gaze riveted,
and wlthou, remembering that he more than
rode over so much ground, or at most bcheld
an assemblege of hills wales, trees, streams
and buildings but the mind that lets its
thoughts glide past thus unobserved and un-
controlled, is fast losing its power for good.
The tendency to foster this indolent and fee
BILE habit, we regard as one of the worst eff
fects of the lght magazine and novel read-
ing of the present day. Unconstrained, rs
he devours the sparkling article or stirring
romance, to make any oilort IN the way Of
claiming his thoughts or defining them. tho
reader is apt to acquire that passiviIy OF in
tellect in which the helm Of attention is sur.
rendered Fl ON the minds own grasp. and
given wholly up TO The objects before it, till
ii is attentive only when something so strik-
ing or stirring presents itself that attention
Cannot be avoided-lke an car that should
hear nothing but the roar of thunder. or an
eye sensible to no color but flaming scarlet.
