insanity. We speak OF sleep as the i'm.
age of death, and our waking hours as
the image Of life. Sleep is not like
death, for it is the period in which the
waste Of the system ceases, or 10 reduced
TO its minimum. Sleep repairs the waste
which waking hours have made. 1t re
builds the system. The night is the re-
pair shop fer the body. Every part OF
tho system is silently overhauled. and
all the organs, tissues and substances are
replcnishcd. Waking consumes and ex-
hausts; sleep repairs and replaces. A
man who would be good worker must
be a good sleeper A man has as much
force in him as he had provided for IN
his sleep. The quality Of mental activity
depends upon the quality Of sleep. Men
need, on an average, eight hours Of sleep

The Electoral Vote Of 1872.

Most of the tables which have been pub

dental electori vote are erroneous, from the
fact that Congress. a few days since, passed a
supplementary apportonment bill, giving,on
account of fractions. nine States each an ad- =
ditiOnal representative in Congress thus in
creasing the electoral vote by nine. The fol-
lowing table we believe to be accurate, and

result next November would do well to cut it
