WORK.
By MARY n. PRESCOT

SWEET wind, fair wind, where have you beenI
i've been sweeping the cobwebs out of the SKY
I've been grinding the grtst in the mil, hard by;
I've been laughing at work, while others sigh;
Let those laugh who win!''
Sweet rain, soft rain, what are You doing?
"I'm urging the corn to fill out its cells;
I'm helping the lily to fashion its bells;.
I'm swelling the torrent and brimming the wells;
Is that worth pursuing?"
Redbreast, redbreast, what have you done?
t'I've been watching the nest where my fedp
lings lie;
I've sung them to sleep with lullaby;
By and by shall teach to ny.
Up and aw4y, every one!"
Honey bee, honey bee. where are you going!
ITO I'LL my basket with precious pelf;
To toll for my neighbor as we'll as myself;
To fad out the sweetest flower that grows,
Be it a thistle, or be 1t a rose
A secret worth the knoWing!"
Each content with the work to be done,
Ever the same from san to sun;
Shall you and be taught to work
BY the bee and the bird that ecorn to shirk?
Wind and rain fulfilling His wordl
Tell me, was ever legend heard,
Where the wind, commanded to blow, deferred;
Or the rain, that was hidden to fall, demurred?

mined to accomplish what he has planned,
even at the risk of wrecking his whole
mental and physical organization. We
may not with impunity, as concerns our
re,ation with society, abuse horse, mule
or engine, but we may tamper With the
noblest organism ever constructed, and
ruin body and mind without even suffering
the penalty of losing our life insur-
snce. In the continual attempt to get, as
it were, thirty horse power from twenty
five horse power engine, we drive the
machine to wreck, ruin, paralysis, and sud
den death or premature old age
The over.taxed brain and over. wrought
body worry and weary each other out of
all comfort and prosperity. Whatever
business or profession man may follow,
he has no right to overdo his abilities any
more than to cut his throat or explode his
brains.
The habit of over-work should Justly be
classed 6y insurance men among the per
nicious habits whose tendency is to cut
short a mans existence It is slow sui
eide, and not always as slow as would ap-
pear. Especially when considered in CON
nection with the habit Of taking sedative
panies it, or of securing sleep, otherwise
difficult or iuposeible to obtain, by the
use OF stimulating drinks, over work leads
to irretrievable ruin of mind, body and es-
tate
The man who industriously does fair
amount of work, who eats well, sleeps
comfortably and regularly, and cheerfullv
possesses his soul in patience, is much
better risk for an insurance company than
he who works hurriedly and beyond his
capacity, eats without digestion, sleeps
without refreshment and nervously trets
himself into continual worriment and
anxious care.
Is prevention better than cures In the
matter of Overwork prevention is prac-
ticable, while cure is impossible. We may
quench the fire under the boiler of the
strained old engine, and take the whole
mechanism apart for reconstruction. Even
after reconstruction it will hardly be as
good as when new. But the fire must keep
burning in the case of the human engine
We must do our repairs while it is in busy
motion. Let the fire 60 our, and it can
never be rekindled. Let the nerves be
shattered, the brain exhausted, the sys-
TEN unstrung, and the man is hopeless
wreck. Let him be wise in time. and pre-
serve his powers for possible old age

Work During Sleep.

THOSE cases in which the brain is hard
at work during sleep, instead of being to-
tally oblivious Of everything, may be call
ed dreaming or somnambulism, according
to the mode in which the activity displays
itself Many Of them are full Of interest.
Some men have done really hard mental
work while at sleep. Condorcet f1nisL ed
train Of calculations in his sleep which
had puzzled him during the day. In 1866
a collegian noticed the peculiarities of a
fellow student, who was rather stupid than
otherwise during his waking hours, but
who got through some excellent work in
geometry and algebra during sleep. Cor
dillac and Franklin both worked correctly
during some of their sleeping hours.
The work done partakes, in many cases,
more If the nature of imaginative compo.
sition than Of scientific calculations. Thus
stanza of excellent verse is in print,
which Sir John Herschel is said to have
composed when asleep, and to have recol-
lected when he awoke. Goethe often set
down on paper, during the day, thoughts
and ideas which had presented themselves
to him during sleep on the preceding night.
"A gentleman one night dreamed that he
was playing an entirely new game of cards
with three friends; when he awoke, the
structures and rules of the new game, as
created in the dream came one by one into
memory, and he found them so ingenious
that he afterward frequently played
the game. Coleridge is said to
have composed his fragment of
"Kubla Khan" during sleep. He had
one evening been reacing Purchas' "Pil-
GRIM" some of the romantic incidents
struck his fancy; he went to sleep, and
his busy brain composed "Kubla Khan"
When he awoke in the morning he wrote
out what his mind had invented in sleep,
until interrupted by visitor, with
whom he conversed for an hour on busi-
ness matters; but, alas! he could never
gain recall the thread of the story, and
thus "Kubla Khan" remains q fragment.
DR.. Good mentions the case of gentle
man who in his sleep composed an ode in
six stanzas, and set it to music Tartini,
the celebrated Italian vocalist one night
dreamed that the devil appeared to him,
challenged him to trial of skill on the
fiddle, and played piece wonderful for
It's beauty and difficulty; when Tartina
awoke he could not remember the exact
notes, but he could produce the general
character Of the music, which he did in q
composition ever since known as the
Devils Sonata" Lord Thurlow, when
youth at college, found himself one
evening unable to finish a piece of Latin
composition which he had undertaken
he went to bed full of the subject, fell
asleep, finished his Latin in his sleep, re-
membercd it next morning, and was COM
plimented on the felicitous form which it
presenled.-AW the Year Round.
