Get Enough Sleep.

We have often heard young men remark
that four or five hours sleep was all they
wanted, and the human system required
The habit OF going without sufficient sleep
is very Injurious. Thousands, no doubt
permanently injure their health in this way.
We live in fast sgs, when everybody
seems to be trying to peryert the order OF
nature. If folks will persist IN turning
night into day, it is not to be wondered at
that few last out the allotted term OF HE.
No matter what be a mans occupation,
physical OF mental, or like Othello's, gone
and living in idleness-the constitution
can not last, depend upon it, without q
suficisncy of regular and refreshing sleep;
John Hunter, the great surgeon, died
suddenly of spasmOdic affection OF the
heart, disease generally encouraged by
want of sleep. In volume just published
! by medical man, there is one great lesson
J tkat hard students and literary men may
learn, and that is, that Hunter, probably
killed himsslf.by taking too. little sleep.
!, -Four hours, rest at night, and one after
| dinner, can not be deemed sufficient to re-
cruit the exhausted powers Of the body and
4 mind. Certainly not; and the consequence,
was that Hunter died early. If men: vii
! insist on cheating sleep, her twin SISTER
DEATH" will averge ths insult. III
