BETWEEN THE BLANKETs.-Some people
take their cares and troubles to bed with them.
1t is bad plan, for they are dabolica bed
fellows Even if tired Natures sweet rcstorer"
whips the spirit of to dreamand in the midst
of its repiuiDgs and forebodngs. there is no
comfort for it there. Of the last sad waking
thoughts are born visible mps that haunt US in
the realm of Morpheus. aud we fight with hor-
ror all night long. Happy are those who can
put off their day troubles with their day cloth
ing. and, as they assume the horizontal, forget
all the annoyances that belong to perpendicular
lite. We have known people who could do all
this; individuals who. after struggling from
morning ill night in Sloughs of Despond, and
getting miserably mauled by the Giant Despair,
no sooner slipped between the sheets than the
Angel OF Sleep, who seemed to have been lying
in wait there TO bless them, took them Oh her
wings and bore them to Eysium. To fight
over again in bed the battles Of life, as many
do 10 their slumbers, IS a miserable business.
Still more unpleasant is it to be surrendered in
sleep to all sorts Of vague and impossible phan-
toms, which are no less disagreesble than they
are utterly absurd. Worst of all is it to lie
through the weary watches Of the night, self
tormented. The best thing uervous, highly
impressible, fdgety people can do after getting
into bed is to lie res0lutely still and try TO ab-
stract their minds from the occurrences of the
day. The power Of doing this is natural to
many, but it may also be acquired By persever-
ing effort The will Of the weakest is q mighty
instrument when fairly brought into play
