There are thousands of busy people,
who die every year from the want Of
sleep 1t mav he that too much sleep
Injuries some but, III an ezcitable peo-
pie in our intense business habits,
there is far more mischief from want
Of sleep than from too much Of it
SlecpIessness becomes a disease 1t is
the precursor of insanity When it
does not reach that sad result, it is
still fall Of peril, as well as of suffer
ing. Thousands of men have been in
debtcl for bad bargains, for lack Of
courage, for incttectlveness, to loss Of
sleep,
1t is curious that all the popular
poetical representations Of sleeping
and waking are the reverse Of the
truth. Wespeak Of sleep as the image
Of death, and our waking hours rs the
image Of life. But all activity ;s the
result Of some form Of decomposition
in the body. Every thought, still
more, every emotion and volition,
wastes some part q the nervous sub
stance, precisely as flame is produced
by wasting the fuel 1t Is the death
Of some rArt Of the physical substance
that produces the phenomena Of intel
igent and voluntary life. On the
other hand, sleep is not like death ;
for it is the period in which thewaste
Of the system ceases, or is reduced to
its minimum, Sleep repairs the
wastes which wokin. hours have made,
