The Wants and Ills of Life,

kEST OF THE SABBATH.-lhe North
British Review" illustrates the Importance
OF sutfic sleep on a parallel with the
natural history of the Sabbath: 1.-THE
| Creator has given us natural rcStora-
tive-sIeep; and moral restorative
Sabbath keeping; and it is ruin to dis
pcnse with either. Under the pressure
of high excitement, individuals have pass
ed weeks together with little sleep or
none; but when the process is long con-
tinucd, the over driven powers rebel, and
fever, delirium and death come on. Nor
can the natural amount be system ,tically
curtailed without corresponding mischief.
The Sabbath does not arrive like sleep.
The day of rest does not steel over us like
the hour Of slumber. 1t does not entr ,nce
us almost whether we will or not but,
addressing us as intelligent beings, our
Creator assures us that we need it, and
bids us notice its return, and court its re-
novation. And if, going in the face ofthe
Creators Kindness, we force ourselves to
work all days alike, it is not long till we
pay the forfeit. The mental workcr-the
man of business, or the man of letters
finds his ideas coming tuhid and slow; the
cquipoise OF his faculties is upset, he grows
moody, tittul and capricious; and, with
his mental elasticity broken, should any
disaster occur, he subsidies into habitual
melancholy, or in selfdestruction speeds his
guilty exit from gloomy world. And
the manual worker-thc artisan, the en-
gineer, 10y toiling on from day to day,
and week to week, the bright intuition of
his eyes gets blunted; and, forgctfu of
their cunning, his fingers no longer per-
form their feats Of twinkling agility, nor
BY plastic and tuneful touch, mold dead
m utter, or WELD mechanic power; but
m;ngling his Iifc's blood in his daily drudg-
cry, his locks are prcmaturely gray, his
genial humor soursc, and slav,ng it till
he has become a mnrose or reckless man,
for an extra effort, or any blink of balmy
feelings, he must stand indebted to opium
or aIchohol." -
SLEEr.-Sound, connected, early, re-
ireShlng sleep, is as essential to health as
our daily food. There is no merit in sim
ply getting up early. The full amount of
sleep requisite for the wants of the system
should be obtained, even if it requires till
noon. go to bed at nine o'clock the
year round, and I stay there until feel
rested; but do not go to sleep again at
ter have once awakcd Of myself, after
daylight. remain in bed until the feel,
ing of t'redness goes off, if there is any,
and get up when | feel likci it. do not
sleep in the day time; it is pernic;ous
practice, and will diminish the soundness
of repose at night. DR.. HoIyoke, after he
Was hundred years old, said, II have
always taken care TO have II full proper
ton Of sleep, which, | suppose, has con-
tributed to my longevity" The want Of
sufficient sleep is frequent cause of in
sanity. To obtain good sleep, the mind
should be in sober, quiet frame for seve-
raj hours before bedtime. think people
require one hours more sleep in winter
than in summer.-Hutrs Journal Of
WeIith.

German Lnvers

"lhc universal prudcrv," says Mr.. Bruce
in his Home Life i'll Germany, (which so
hampers n man in America, and which
makes linn ignore half the facts of life, for
fear of treadng on some unknown deli
cate sensibiIity, is never seen in European
circles. 1t is boldly assumed, what every
one knows to be fact, that both sexes
are equally aware Of great variety of
things; and where the allusion is natural,
no one troubles himself about it. Thnr;
were, in our company, tins evening. two
who were invited AS be,rothed, and was
very much struck with their manner to-
wards one another. think in an Anglo.
Saxon company the fact would have been
dropped out OF view as much as possible
and certainly the slightest expression OF
their feelings would have been dreaded
10y the parties. But here, there was the.
whole evening, an unconscious, beautiful
expression Of affection and confidence,
which really, | think gladdeued tue whole
company. You never though, Of any
thing else with them. Love seemed to
speak out as naturally from their tones.
and glance, and manner, as friendly feel
ing does with us. Nothing else would
have seemel in place. 1t was al owe crit
lclsm, above surprise even, :!Eoag!, il any
other of the young men were bachelors
like myself, they retired with sufficiently.
vidid appreciation of the woes Of b1choler-
dom. have often observed this natural,
ness of expression among the Germans.
1t is more apparent in the families, of.
course. There are not in all my memo
ries, pictures so warm and glowing, a.
of those families in North Germany fam
lilies where tia hook and language were
not blurred Ivy that everlasting Journalism
and GOODNESS, and selishness which hangs
over our households; where love WAS
without dissimulation, neither worn for
duty nor worn for effect; where mutual
kindness AMI self-sacrifice and affection
had so long leen, that the very aid anil
aspect seemed 10 welcome aud sun the
stranger"
