false reasoning to suppose that any human

must laugh, sing, dance, eat, drink and be

and his body in agreeable demonstrations Of
activity. The constitution of the human
system demands this. It exacts variety Of

GET ENOUGH SLEsp-We have often heard
young men remark that four or five hours
sleep was all they wanted, and all that the
human system required. The habit of going
without sufficient sleep is injurious. Thous-
ends, no doubt, permanently injure their health
in this way. We live in a fast age. when every
body seems to be trying to prevent the order
of nature. If folks will persist in turning
night into day, it is not to be wondered that
few last out the allotted term Of life. No
matter what be mans occupation physical
or mental, or like Othello's gene and living
in idleness-the constitution cannot last
depend upon it, without q suficiency of reg
ular and refreshing sleep. Joe Hunter, the
great surgeon, died. suddenly of spasmodic
affection Of the heart, disease greatly en-
Outraged by want of sleep. In volume just
published by medical man. there is one
great lesson that hard students and literary
men may learn, and that is, Hunter probably
killed himself by taking toe. little sleep -Four
hours, rest at night, and one after dinner,
cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit the ex-
hausted powers of the body and mind Ger.
tainly not, and the consequence was, that
Hunter died early. If men will insists in
