SLEEP.

Dr. Cornell, of Philadelphia, contributes to the November number of IHe Educator an article on sleep, from which we make the following brief extracts:
 No one who wishes to accomplish great things should deny himself the advantages of sleep or exercise. Any student will ac- complish more, year by year, if he allow himself seven or eight hours to sleep, and three or four meals and amusements, than if he labors at his books, or with his pen, ten or twelve hours day.
 It is true that some few persons are able to perform much mental labor, and to study late at night and yet sleep we'll. Some re- quire but little sleep. But such individuals are very rare. General Pichcgru informed Sir Gilbert Blanc that, during whole years campaign, he did not sleep more than one hour in twenty-four Sleep seemed to be at the command of Napoleon, as he could sleep and awake apparently at will.
 M. Guizot, minister of France under Louis Philippe, was good sleeper. < late writer observes that his facility for going to sleep after extreme excitement and men, tai exertion was prodigious, and it was for tunate for him that he was So constituted otherwise his health would materially have suffered 4 minister in France ought not to be nervous man it is fatal-to him if he is. After the most boisterous and tumultous sittings, at the Chamber, after being baited by the opposition in the most savage man. ner-there is no milder expression for thei1 excessive violence-he arrives home, throws himself upon couch, and sinks immediately into profound sleep, from which he is undis tarbed till midnight, when proofs of the lMomiteur are brought to him for inspection The most frequent and immediate .-cause of insanity, and one of the most important to guard against, is the want of sleep. In deed, so rarely do we see recent case of in sanity that is not preceded by want of sleer that it is regarded as almost sure precur sor of mental Arrangement

THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

|. BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. The snow had begun on the gleaming,
 And busily ali the night ! Had been heaping field and highway
 With silence deep and white. Every pine, and fir, and hemlock, Wore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm=tree Was fringed inch deep with pearl. From sheds, new-roofed with Carara,
 Came Chanticleer's muffled crew, The stiff rails were softened to swan's-down,
 And still fiuttered down the snow. l stood and watched by the window, The poiseless work of the sky, And the sudden aurries of snow-birds, Like brown leaves whirling by. l thought of mound in sweet Auburn, Where 8 little head-stone stood, How the flakes were folding it gently, As did robins the babes in the woods. Up spoke our own little Mabel,
 Saying, Father who makes it snow?" And told her of the good All-Father, Who cares for us all below. Again I looked at the snowfall
 And thought of the leaden sky That arched OCT our first great sorrow,
 When the mound was heaped so high. l remembered the gradual patience
 That fell from that cloud-like snow, Flake by flake, healing and hiding
 The scar of that deep-stabbed woe. And again to the child I whispered,
 The snow that husheth all, Darling, the Merciful Father
 Alone can make it fall.' Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her, .,,, And she, kissing back, could not know, That my kiss was given to her sister
 Folded close under deepening snow.

THE LITTLE QUAKEREss WHO WAS DEs- PERArELY IN LovE.-An amusing metrmo- nal story is told of the olden time in New England. It so fell out that two young people became very much smitten with each other, as young people do. The young wo- mans father was a wealthy Quaker--the young man was respectable. The father could stand no such union and resolutely op- posed it, and the daughter dare not disobey openly She met him by moonlight" when she prctended never to see him, and she pined and wasted away. She was really in love~-a state of sighs and tears, which oi- tener reach ill imagination than reality. Still the father remained inexorable.
 Time passed on, and he rose on Mary's damask cheek passed off. She let no con cealment. like worm in the bud, prey on that damask check, however. but when the father asked her why she pined, she always told him, The old gentleman was wid- ower, and loved his daughter dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who had Mary in charge, widows pride would have given way before the improtunities of a daughter. Men are not, however, stubborn in such matters, and when the father saw that his daughters heart was really set upon the match, he surprised her one day by breath ing out
 " Mary, rather than nope to death, thee had better marry as soon as thee chooses, and whom thee pleases."
 And then what did Mary? Wait till the birds of the air Trad told her swain of the change, or until the father had time to alter his mind again? Not bit of it. She clap, ped her neat, plain bonnet on her head, ana walked directly to the house of her intended, as the street would carry. She walked into the house without knocking-for Knocking was not then fashionab e--and she found the family just sitting down to dinner.
 Some little commotion was exhibited at so nncxpected and so nnusai an apparltion as tbe heiress in the widows cottage, but she needed it not. John looked np enquiripgly. She took both bis hands in hers.
 "JoLn," said she, father says I may have thee."
 And John got up directly from the dinnes table, aud went to the pason's. In just l twenty-five minutes they were man and wife |, . s -s

The following ambiguous compliment was usedsby lover writing to his mistress:
 .How wish, my dear Adelinc, my engage ments would permit me to leave town and go to see you! It would be like visiting some old ruin, hallowed by time and fraught with thou sand pleasing recollections!'
 The Hon.
