Origin OF Certain Habits,

Many of the most pernicious habits
were contracted originally for the sake
of health. Wine and distilled liquors
are taken to strengthen tobacco, OPT
um and hasheesh to relieve low spirits;
card playing to amuse. But, too often,
the persons who innocently acquire
such habits, know not how to limit
the extent of the indulgence, or to
abandon them entirely when found to
be prejudicial. The dose of excite
ment must be increased habit exerts
it's sway; we are enclosed in it's net

a.. SLEEP.-Take care of your health
and take plenty OF, sleep. Let no one
fwOrk in pain orweariness. When a
man Is tired he should lie down until
he islftilly rested, when, with renova-

done, done sooner, and with, selfsus-
tanned alaerity. The time taken from
seven, OF, eight hours sleep out Of each
twenty2four is time not gained, but
time much more. than lest we can
cheat ourselves but cannot cheat nature,
A certain amOuntof food is necessary

that amount be furnished decay com.

with sleep; any one who persists in al
lowing himself less than nature re
