Necessary Rules of Sic ,p.

There is no fact more clearly estab
lished in lbe physiology Of man han this.
that the brain expands its energies and
itself during the hours Of wakefulness.
and that these are recuperated by sleep.
If the recupera.iln does not equal the
expenditure, the brain wihers-this is
insanity. Thus it is that, in early Eng
lish history, persons who were condemned
to death by being prevented from sleep
Jog, always died raying maniacs thus it
is, also, that those who are starved to
death become insane. The brain is no.
nourIshed, and hey cannot sleep. The
prac icaI inferences are three list;
Those who think most, who do most brain
WORK, require most sleep. 2i: That
time "sayed " from necessary sleep is
iniaIlibIy destructive TO mind, body, and
estate. Give yourself. your servants,
give all that are under you, the fullest
amount Of sleep they will take, by com.
PeIIing them to 60 to bed at some par.
ticuIar hour aud to arise 10 lbe morning
the moment they awake and within a
fortnight nature, with almost the regu-
IaIy Of the rising sun, will unIoose the
Jonds Of sleep the moment enoagh repose
has been secured for the wants Of the
system. T4i, is the only safe and suffi-
cien. rule. And as to the question. how
much sleep any one requires, each must
be rule for himself Great nature will
never fail to wri.e it ont 10 ,he observer

TalnlUdiC Maxims,

Professor Stowe, in his paper on the
TaImud. read before The New England
Historical Genealogical Society, at It's
last meeting, gave some interesting spec
linens Of the maxims and proverbs con.
tained in that wonderful collection. We
transfer few Of the pihiest;
II you speak in the night, speak sofdy}
if you speak in the day ime, look around
you before you speak.
What business i it Of yours to search
into the mysteries OF God?
If you want leader look for man
VINO has nose. (Tbe Jews. by the way,

The camel aspired after horns, and the
Lord took away bis ears.

While Noah was planting bis vineyard
rbe devil came to him and S I'D, " What

:" Let US work it on shares" said the
devil. "Agreed," says Noah" Now
what does he devil DO? He brings a

rifces them, and mingles the blood with
he soil Therefore, if a man eats

innocent and nice as lamb If be drinks
