SLEEp.-Sleep is necessary to life in every stage and form. It is the bulmy bath which Young says supplies, lubricates and keeps in play the various movements of this ncc ma. chine'-man. It is great Natures s,cond course-man's rich restoratiyc--" chief uourisii. CT in life's frast.' In this fast agr, when 1t is the fashion with many of the middle classes, and particularly the upper, to turn night into day, and invert the or,ler of Nature it is scarcely to be wondered at that few last out the allotted term of Life. No matter what be a Ean's occupation--physical or m nta or, like OthcllO's, "gone." and living in idlcncss-- the constitution cannot last. depend upon 1t, without suficiency of regular and refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the great surgeon, died suddenly of spasmodic affection of the heart, disease greatly encouraged by want of sleep. ln just-publshed volume by medical man, there is one great lesson that hard students and literary men may learn, and that is, that IInu. ter, probably killed himself by taking too little sleep. Four hours rest at night and one after dinner. cannot be deemed sufficient to re- cruit the exhausted powers of body and mind" " Certainly not and the consequence was that Hunter died early If men will insist on cheat ing Sleep, he-- twiu-sister, Death," will aycnge the insult.

TIE FALLES-For my part, confess have not the heart to take ali offending man or wo- man from the general crowd of sinful, errng be- ings, and judge them harshly. The little I have seen of the world, and know of the his
