= DIR. Hall does not approve of the old
fashioned doctrine which was formerly
Installed into the. minds of children
they they should spring out of bed the
instant they awoke in the morning.
He says that "up to eighteen years ev-
cry child should be GLI0wed ten hours
sleep, but. time should be allowed to
rest In Bad, after the sleep is over, un-
til they feel as if they had rather get up
than not, 1t is a very great and mis-
chieyous mistake for persons, old or
young specially children and feeble
or sedentary persons-tO bounce out of
bed the moment they wake up; all our
instincts shrink from it, and fiercely
kick against it. Fifteen or twenty
minutes spent in gradually waking up,
after the eyes are opened, and in turn
ing over and stretching the limbs, do
as much good as sound sleep, because
these operations set the blood in mo-
ton by degrees, tending 10 equalize the
circulation; for durins sleep the blood
tends to. stigiiation, the hearts beats
feebIy and slow, and to shock the sys-
tenn by bounding up in an instant and
sending the blood in overwhelming
quantities to. the heart, causing it to as
sumo gallop, when the instant before
it was in a ereep,- is the greatest absurd
ity. This instantaneous bouncing out
of bed as soon as the eyes are open will
be followed by weariness before noon. +"

BEECHER's SERMON TO ONE HEARER.-
DR.. Beecher once engaged to preach for
country minister on exchange, and the
sabbath proved to be one excessively
stormy, cold and Uncomfortable. II was
in mid-winter andI the snow was piled
along the roads so as to make the passage
very difficult. Still the minister urged his
horse through the drifts, put the animal
into shed, and went in. AS vet there
was no person in the house, and after look
ing about, the old gentleman-then young
took his seat in the pulpit Soon the
door opened and single individual walk
ed up the aisle, looked about, and took q
seat. The hour came for commencing SER
vices but no more hearers.
Whether to preach to such an audience
was a question, and it was one that Lyman
Beecher was not long deciding. He felt
that he had a duty to perform, and he had
no right to refuse to do it; and according
ly he went through all the services-pray-
ing, singing, preaching and the benedic-
tion-with only one nearer. And when
all was over, he fastened down from the
desk to speak to his congregation, but he
had departed.
A circumstance so rare was referred to
occasionally, but twenty years after it was
brought to the DOCTORS mind quite strange
ly. Travelling somewhere in Ohio, the
doctor alighted from the stage one day in
Il pleasant village, when gentleman step
ped up and spoke to him, familiarity call
ing him by name.
do not remember you" said the doc
tor.
suppose not, said the stranger "but
we once spent two hours together in q
house in a Storm
al do not recall it," added the old man.
81 Pray, when was it?'
''Do you remember preaching, twenty
years ago, in such place, to a single per-
son ?'' - r... ...
'Yes, yes" said the doctor, grasping his
hand, II do indeed, and if you are the
man, have been wishing to see you ever
since.n -
II am the man, sir and that sermon
saved my soul, made a minister of me and
yonder is my church The converts of
that sermon, sir, are all over Ohio"

A Capital Prescription.


A rather eccentric yet eminent physician
was called to attend q middle-aged rich
lady who had many imaginary ills. After
many wise inquiries about her symptoms
and manner of life he asked for piece of
paper and wrote down the following pre-
scription
Do SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY
In the gravest manner he handed it TO
the patient and left. The doctor heard
nothing from the lady for q long time, On
Christmas morning, he was hastily sum-
moned to the cottage of her Irish washer
woman.
ITS not meself, doctor, it's me wrist
that's ailing. We see / was afther goin'
out into the black darkness for few bits
of wood, when me foot struck this basket.
1t stood there like big mercy, as it was,
full of soft flannels from Mrs. Walker.
She tewld me that your medicine cured
her, doctor. So, if yell PLACE to put lit
tie of that same on me wrist, I'll be none
the worse for me nice present.
" 1t is powerful remedy said the doc
tor gravely. And more than once in after
years he wrote the prescription,
Do SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY"

SUNDAY A DAY OF GLADNEss.-God
does not mean us always to be sombre,
least of all upon Sunday, the glad feast of
the Resurrection, day whose atmosphere
throughout should be one of quiet I'M
worldly joy. Let not boisterous merri-
ment disturb the calm let hearty worship
and kindly intercourse, and refreshing
rest-rest of tired mind from its dragging
brood of weekday anxieties, rest of tired
body from the round of weekday toilet
this be the employment, this the tone of
the hallowed day. Religion, not in every
word, act, look, Obtruded with painful eff
fort, but present in the heart, should per-
wade the day, its rest, its reading, its con-
Versation. Oh! never represent Sunday
at any rate, to the young-as a dull and
gloomy day; not dream that heart de-
voted to the kind God need abjure all that
is genial and joyous, or that subdued,
spirit-broken step is necessary to the child
who has chosen to walk beside that tender
Father, holding by His hand.-Rdndona

WHAT'S His Name z

In the Life of Barham," an amusing
anecdote is told of King, the actor who
met friend whose name he had for
gotten, and took him home to dinner.
After several attempts to find out his
name, King said: "My friend and
have had a dispute as to how you spell
your name indeed, we have laid bot
tie of wine about it," ooh with two
ps," was the answer.
An old friend once related to me an
anecdote of Sheridan Knowles, which
so far as | know, has never been pub
lished. Walking with Knowles, they
were stopped by a gentleman, who said /:
ooh, Knowles, how could you serve me
so?n
whats the matter, my dear fellow"
Why, you promised to dine with me
last Wednesday, and invited some peo-
pie thought you'd like to meet, and
you never came !"
" Pm very sorry. What can do to
make amends ?"
Come another day. Come next
Tuesday"
TUESDAY? l can't come Tuesday"
Say Wednesday,"
at shall be Wednesday. Depend
upon me. If I'm in life I'll come"
And so they parted. Knowles, how.
ever, stood still in deep meditation for
some time, and then exclaimed: For
the soul Of me, | can't tell who that
kind hearted fellow is who wants me to
dine with him" Notes and Queries.
