Sleep for Brain Workers.

In a late number of the College C0Urdnt
is an article ON sleep by DR.. G. w. Beard,
from which we make the following ex-
tract: e
"Students who are really faithful labo.
rious brain workers need all the sleep they
can get, whether at night or in the day
time. The night is the most appropriate
season for sleep, and yet we should pever
hesitate to take nap in the daytime when
ever we find IL necessary Amid the cares
and responsibilities of our modern civil.
zation, there are unnumbered Interrupt
tions and contingencies that make it prsc-
tically impossible for us to obtain our full
amount of sleep in the hours that are usu.
ally devoted to that purpose. Now there
is no law so imperative on man as the law
that requires us to sleep. If we deny our
selves of 1t if we get behind and, to use
the expression of the street, fall into debt
to nature in this respect, we must improve
the first opportunity to make ourselves
good, else we shall ultimately fail. A brain
worker who religiously enjoys a liberal
amount of sleep may preserve his health
and elasticity, even though he violates
every other law of hygiene On the con
trary, he who faithfully observes all the
rules of diet, of exercise, and of labor, YET
denies himself of sleep, is really guilty OF
all, and can by no means escape unpun-
ished. There is no appeal from this law
There is no virtue that can redeem its vio
lation. 1t admits of no atonement To sleep
is the one great hygienic commandment.
1t Is the Alpha and the Omega, the begin
ming and the end, the first and last of the
great laws of mental hygiene. He who
understands and obeys this law really un
derstands and obeys the whole hygieniC
decalogue, for no one can long sleep wei
who persistently disregards the other laws
of health. Sleep is one of the best of oul
thermometers of health. BY the quantity
and quality of sleep that our patients car
take, we can best Judge of their daily con
| dition and of their progress toward recov
cry. We always feel assured that what
ever improves the sleep of the exhausted
invalid to that degree helps him TOWARD
| recovery, and that whatever disturbs tn,
sleep, to that degree, brings on relaps,
and disease. S'eeplessness is one of thu
earliest and most constant symptoms of in
sanity, of hydrochondria and of all the
nameless forms of nervous derangement
| Whenever, therefore, we find that we ar,
not sleeping as well as we arewont, whel
our dreams are peculiarly dark, and ugly
and distressing, and leave unsightly scar
in the memory, when we roll, and toss, an
worry through the watch of the nigh,
anxiously waiting for the day, when W
awake long before our accustomed hou
of rising, and find no pleasure In tn
morning nap, then may we suspect tina
our bark is nearing the quickssnds al
shadows, and then, without delay, shoult
we examine our charts, revise our cslcula
tions, and, according to our best judgmen,
return to the channel from which we hav
suffered ourselves to be driven.

him for 800 years, what would it avail
him, since he can live at most but from 20
to 100 yesrsP Suppose he had laid up in
q store house 10000 pairs of shoes, to what
end would it serve, if he could make use,
during his whole life, of only the one
hundreth part of themS He would be in
the same condition as a man who had a
hundred dishes placed before him at din
ncr, but who could only take one or of q
person who had hundred mansions pur-
chased for mis- residence, but who could
occupy only one. How ridiculous II
would appear If all that could be said of
q man while he lived was simply this
that his whole life was occupied In collect

Romance In Real Life.


On Sunday last, Miss Matilda Griffith,
who has long been a respected cit tizen of
Greenville, and Mr.. John Grant, of Ire.
land, were married, at the residence of
the former, by the Rev. K. T. Buist, d. d.
The incident is a pleasing one; a ro-
mantle history attaches. Thirty-three
years have fled since the parties became
engaged, nor have they seen each other
in that time, and, during large portion
OF 1t W r. iguoTalt of each others where
abouts. Fhey were both attached, when
mere children, in their native Ireland !;
but when the engagement became known
the families of both were opposed to IL
from opposite religious views, and that of
Miss Griffith contrived to send her, against
her will, to the United States. Mr.. Grant,
all disconsOlate, enlisted in the British
army, not being aware at first whittier the
lady had gone. His career as soldier
continued twenty-six years in the mean
time he fought the terrible Sepoy rebel
lion in India, making as many hairbreadth
escapes "in the imminent deadly
breaches" as Othello. He returned
to England some three or fonr
years ago, and having in the mean
time had some correspondence with the
lady by letter-fOr his devotion never fall
tered-sailed for this country She was
on her voyage at the same time to old
Ireland, and the ships passed each other.
He found his way to the great West and
having been prostrated by cholera, and,
losing the means brought with him, he
went to Montana to recruit Last Friday
he arrived by the cars in Greenville, sud.
denly and unheralded, and forthwith
sought the house of Miss Griffith, who
knew him instantly on sight, but he did
not recognize her in the same manner, for
she had changed from the fragile girl TO
the mature woman. OF course she was
agitated and overjOyed. as he was, and,
there being no longer any impediment, an
immediate marriage was determined on.
The result was their union on Sunday, as
before stated. They both have the con
gratulations and kindest wishes of this
community, and the good prospect, from
apparent vigorous health, of enjoying
many years of happiness to crown their
mutual aud rare coDstancy.-G Green0ILIe

continued until his full restoration to
strength, care being taken to keep him al
ways slightly hungry.
On recovering his speech, he retailed
his experience. He is y native of Nassau,
aged 90 years, and had never been afflicted
with any severe sickness. lie fell asleep
in the hold OF the Rising Star after eating
his dinner, and on awakening found him
self closely packed between two bales of
wool, with but about twelve inches be-
tween himself and the ceiling. He said
that he did not fall asleep again until his
arrival, but this seems incredible. All
efforts 10 make himself heard proving
fruitless, he resigned himself to his fate.
He experienced no pain, and his hunger,
though great, gave him very little uneasi,
ness. He could take no account OF time,
but two or three days before reaching
here, to the best of his judgment, he was
annoyed by a constant buzsiug in his ears,
his mouth was dry, and has saliva was
thick as paste. Alter arriving he found
his sight, hearing, touch, and smell unim-
paired, but his sense of taste had departed.

The Sensation Of Dying Of starvation.

ABouT fortnight ago the Sun pub
ished the story of Richard Wilson, @
young colored man, who had been acci-
dentally shut in the hold of an Aspinwall
steamer, and had existed nine days on
board without food until his arrival In this
city. He was sent to the Colored Home,
in Sixty fifth street, and having regained
his strength, lately returned to AspinwalL
On reaching the home he was unable
either to stand or sit unsupported, or even
70 speak. His pulse was 1uttering, his
eyes were dull, and his feet and hands
were cold His tongue was slightly coated,
his frame tremulous, and he vomited
water of a syrupy consistence. A loud
systolic murmur was also heard at the
base of his heart.
An ounce was given him every fifteen
minutes Of mixture consisting of two
ounces of whisky, pint of water, and
four ounces Of milk, until he became com
posed and was able to Sleep In half an
hour his pulse strengthened, and his gen
eral aspect improved. Before dark he was
able TO speak and sleep sOundly. The
next day one ounce of milk and one ounce
Of beef tea were given him. On the fol-
lowing day he was much better, and was

A Temperance Sermon.

WE arrange, says Hearth and Home, the
following from facts furnished by one of
our foreign files:
Bessbrook is an Irish manufacturing
town near Ncwry. Its principal founder
and now sole proprietor is j. q. Richard
son, leading member of the Society of
Friends This gentleman, with one or two
other "Friends," founded the Bessbrook
Spinning Company, and erected there the
Bessbrook Mills. The factory has grown
so large that it gives employment to three
thousaud hands, most of whom reside In
the neighborhood Of the works. In Bess-
brook there is no licensed public house,
nor is there one in any of its surrounding
lands. There are no police in the place.
The Irish Constabulary, armed, occupy
every town in Ireland, and have barracks
for half dozen men each along every
roadside, but there are no police in Bess-
brook. Mr.. Richardson alleges that so
long as he keeps out the public house,
they can do without police; but that 80
soon as the tap-room is introduced, they
will require the constabulary. There Is no
| drunkenness in Bessbrook; no quarrelling
no theft; no crime; no infanticide in
short, the operatives are models of sobTi
| ETY. and good order OF course, it is not
meant TO be said that they have not their
faults and their failings, like mankind ev.
erywhere; but the town Is wholly free from
the sad scenes which are to be met with
publicly every night in much smaller pop.
ulations. And the population of Bess.
brook is composed entirely of operatives,
while that of many other towns Is mixed,
comprising the wealthy and the poor. The
operatives themselves have not two opin-
ions on the question of the absence or
presence of the public house. They are
agreed that if licensed houses we're opened
in BessbroOk, the reading-room, the libra
| ry, the schools, the cooperative societies,
would all be deserted, by only too many,
for the allurements of the dram shop,
and that another establishment hitherto
| unknown In BessbrOOk-the pawn office
would soon be required. And not only
| 80, but the police barrack, the bandcuffs
and the dark cells would come into fash.
ion, too, and homes now happy would
| soon be rendered miserable. All this
Mr.. Richardson had seen in too many
other towns, and he decided to keep the
licensed public houses out of Bessbrook
The results have decidedly confirmed him
in his resolution, and would convincS
the most skeptical of the wisdom of the
course he has adopted, if the town were
only once or twice visited by them. Cou
pied with the last negative point of man
| agement is also the exclusion of police
and pawn offices as already referred to
these follow in the wake of the dram.shop
and the exclusion of the public house rem
ders all the rest unnecessary.

Hans goes out hunting once In while: He
went after ducks not long since. You can't get

them with a string In the edge of some bushes in

the string
Hans was told that a couple of wild ducks were
in the pond, and hnrrying 10 his quarters he got
his gun, loaded II heavily. and crept down within
range Of the ducks. -.. an .#.
Taking good aim, he fired, and the ducks were
sent with rush back into the bushes by the
shot.
Hans thought. OF course, he had killed them,

the bushes pretty sharp, blew them out on the
