TIE following from Dickens new serial
al the Year Round, is clever picture OF
feeling and scenes which every one has, at
some time or another realized. 1t will
therefore, be read with interest
Does any man alive know as well as do
the different classiicatioDs OF bad nights
There is the bad night total, the bad night
partial, the bad night early, the bad night
late, the bad night candid, and the bad night
deceptive.
The bad night total is night entirely
without sleep, when not even in the morning,
and just before the servant knocks at the
door, does slumbcr come to mock the sufferer
with chance OF rest. The bad night utter
is rare, it is terrible: God help thee through
it.

there are periods Of sleep, but such intervals
OF wakelulness as render it still essentially o
bad night. II is common enough, it is en-.
durable. Lie still and be Us patient as you
can.

heart.
The bad night late has this great disad-
vantage, that the period OF wakefulness
comes at time when, for some reason or
other, the mind is in terrible gloomy and
unsatisfactory condition. lie who is going

bad night late brings with it will 90 to bed
