sings famous poet through the voice of a great

the very edge of doom.
When we are in exalted states OF mind or
feeling, certain departments OF the nervous
system are acted upon in such manner as to
generate certain states OF belief or experience:
hence arise such provisions as Wallensten
speaks Of. But when coming events cast their
shadows before" such as Henry the Fourth

In this dav and in our country there Is
growing tendency to certain form of the

natural craving for a knowledge of the life
after death displayed itself in more poetlcal
shape; but the same desire prompted the old
astrologer as that which inspires the modern
spiTitist.

in revealed religion, and have faith in Gods
wisdom. Scientific psychologists will before

The incident just related, which occurred to
Leutze, can hardly be explained. and yet it
seems so unnecessary to have occurred in a
spiritual point of view; for what use was there
in figure of warning to announce simply the
inevitable? 1t gave no information, left no
admoniton. That there was some unconscious
deception in the matter seems most likely; and
yet this may remain for ever unexplained; but
the artist himself, l fancy, if alive, would
give more rational than mystical solution
of the occurrence, for he was q practical,
sensible, industrious man; aud while he
expressed on canvas picturesque representations
OF historical incidents or adventurous actions in
daily life, neither his conversation, his apoeat-

In particular, it is believed that all workers,
both men and women, in all departments OF

lie down, for time longer or shorter during
the day. preference being given to the hour

they are liable to chafe or wound themselves in
getting down or up. In recumbent posture
the pulse is slower by eight or ten beats min

than in stting the breathing also is less rapid and
is deeper: digestion begins sooner and progresses
more rapidly. Accordingly the worker can
recuperate faster in the recumbent than in any
other position; and if In quiet place his nerves
get composed more speedily and thoroughly in
given time. WOrking'people understand this
well enough, but not feeling tired, they hate
to camp down on bed or settee, 1t is such dull
business. Dull enough truly when the head is
