Cheerfulness.

| Thackeray. somewhere in. his admi.
rable lectures, says: rhe world i.
like n mirror every one finds in i, q
reflection Of his own image !; If we
laugh, i laughs back at us; If we
fiown il responds in the same way
and, we make from within US the world
we see." This authors writings are
all remarkable for true aud healthy
views, and perhaps nowhere else, has
he expressed more sound philosophy
than in the foregoing sentence. -. :,
Another writer of less fame, rem .arks
that +" cheerfu! people supply. the oxy
gen Of the moral atmosphere; and
keep il sweet and pure" and thinks on
that account, "tbey should be main.
tained at the public expense"
Without endorsing the latter part of
this proposition, we are ready 10 admit
the great importance Of cheerfulness, in
all relations Of life. Asa habit Of

THE BRAIN IN SLEEP-Tt was an
old error among Psychologists that there
WAS more blood passing through the
brain. or at least as much. during sleep
as in wakefnlness; but this was dis.
proved by Blnmenhach, and still more
convincingly bs Donbers, who made a
cruel though striking experiment on
the subject. lie cut awav part of the
