say whose life, in her country residence al home,
is INCREASINGLY devoted to the task OF popular ed

have been pleased TO see, in the attendance here,
so many living and fair proofs of the interest which
her own sex takes in that subject. A poet OF my

for while one person shealthy on five hours sleep,
another requires eight. Generally speaking, indi-
viduals in whom the nervous organization predom-
mates, need the largest amount of sleeps the wear
and tear of the brain being SO great, while they
are awake, that proportionate excess of sleep is
