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 per-
manently injure their health in this way.
We live in fast age, when every body
seems to be trying TO pervert 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
life. No matter what be aSnan's Occupa.
ton the constitution cannot last, depend
upon it, without sufficiency 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 a volume
just published by medical man, there is
one great lesson that hard students and
literary men may learn. that is, that Hun
ter killed himself by taking too little sleep.
Four hours rest at night and one after
dinner, cannot be deemed sufficient to re.
cruit the exhausted powers Of both body
and mind. And. the consequence was
that Hunter died early. If men will in.
sist in cheating sleep, her twin sister,
death" will avenge the insult.
