| Importance Of Sleep.

- teachers who assert that pu-
can safely study from three to five
I hours at home, even rising early in the
morning to accomplish very difficult
tasks, We commend the following eX-
tract from the pen of Prof. Haven:
The law of life Is most frequently
violated by the students, is the demand
for timely and sufficient sleep. The
mind uses up the machinery Of the
slRlass9N when awake in proportion to the
rapidity and energy of its workings,
and the reservoir is Tiled up again in
sleep. Henry Kirk White shortened
his life not with a daggeror opium, but
by an alarm-clOck. He did not retire
to rest-When he should, and obeyed the
summons of his villainous clock when
he should have slept. He died 1906
aged q. Probably he might have been
alive to-day. "But / can sit up all
night" says the youthful student,
even after hearty supper, and feel
no bad effects. [ rally AGAIN in twen-
/ ty-four hours" OfcOurse yOu42O. He
would be feeble yOungster w could
not endure dissipation for This
is the adyantage-of-youth a Ia good
constitution. If you must expose Your
self in thisWay for a sufficiently worthy
motive, do it like man, and bear if.
: r-punctllloUSmen who live accord
ing to the timep1ece and balances, are
not the highest type of men. But the
/ everlasting facts remain, that nature
will enforce her laws. Ii you deprive
yourseifof timely and sufficient sleep,
prepare TO pay the penalty when the
day OF reckoning comes. Come it will.
The stories about Wesley, Brougham,
Napoleon, and others, who slept only
four or six hours in the twenty-four,
have done much harm. They are gen
orally not true. for these sleepers al
most invariably take many maps i'll

A French Romance.

For Joke NJ. Robert replied that he

soon found out that what Mr.. 3. really

Penclling their shadows on the eVenin
The gathering clouds with gauze-lille wings

! Their heaven-wove tapestry:
! Yelling in mist the dim and wearted sun,
! Ere yet the drapery Of his couch Is won!
| Behold! behold them now!
! Tossing their gold-edged tresses on the
Gliding like angels DER the star-gemmed
To heavenly sy1nphoniesl
| While distant, seen like hope to faiths clear
Sleeps in calm splendor the ceruIean blue! .
! Ere yet imaginatfons wand
Has traced the vision on the teeming brain
! The heeting pageant floats in mist away
Beyond the billOwy main;
But forms more beauteOuS wing again their

While eve reposes on the lap of night.
You castelIated tower
As proudly cuts its turrets on the sky.
As II the portals of its airy halls
And who shall say, but IN its c1anlb bers glide
Pale courtiers' shadows-disembOdied pride
The mimic ship unfolds
Her swelling canvass on the airy main;
And hOrsemen sweep, in graceful circles o er
While forms Of light unknown to mortals
People irIfnyriads the celestial sphere:
Ana lntlnN-COlOIGu nOWelSg
Changing their hueS with every passing
Crown the far summits OF the mountain

The ShadOWy trees
Fling their gigantic branches wide and far
Dimming the lustre OF fun many a star.
How oft, in chiIdhoOds hour,
I've watched the cloudletS pale the evening

While the bright day-god quenched his wan

In ocean, pool, and stream,
Oh, then the clouds We're ministers Of joy
To the Tapt spirit of the dreamy boy! -.

Do yc not look from yonder throne of clouds
Upon me yet,
Beckoning me now, with eager glance to

To the bright portals Of yon heavenly home?

Would chain the spirit to life's bounded
Learn fTom the clouds that UPWARD poi~e

was being done, Jackson, accompanied
by some officers and cOuriers, rode for
ward to reconnoiter. He advanced as
far as the Federal pickets, and then
turned t. come back TO his own line,
when his party, mistaken for Federal
cavalry, were fired into by the COnfed-
crate line of battle. The fire was pro-
bably from troops who had just been
placed in position, and who did not
know that Jackson and his party were
in front of them. I think this was the
Generals impression in speaking of it

killed and wounded by this fire, but
the General escaped, and turning to

him in three places. One of the wounds
was in the right hand, the other two
