GER ENoUaH SLEeP.-We have often
heard young men remark that four or five
hou-s' sleep was all they wanted, and all
that the human system required The
habit of going without sufficient sleep is
very Injurious. Thousands, no doubt, per-
manently injure their health in this way.
We live in fast age, when everybody
seems to be trying to pervert the order of
nature. If 70 ky will persist in turning day
into night, it is not to he wondered at that
few last out the allotted term of life. No
matter what mans occupation, physical
or mental, or, like Othellos, ''gone," AID
living in idleness, the constitution cam 1t
stand it without suficiency of res AT
and refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the
great surgeon, died suddenly of spasmodic
affection of the heart, disease greatly en-
couraged by want of sleep. In volume
just published by medical man, there is
one great lesson that may be learned by
hard students and literary men, and that
is, that Hunter probably XII led himself by
too Little sleep. Ecu. hours rest at
night and one after dinner cannot be
deemed sufficient to recruit the exhausted
powers Of body and mind" Certainly
rot; and the consequence was that Hunter
died early. If men will insist on cheating
sleep, her "twin sister death "w1l avenge
the insult Home Journal
