NECESSITY OF SLEEP.

Henry Ward Beecher says: There
are thousands of busy people who
die every year for want Of Sleep
SleeplessneSs becomes a disease
and is the precursor Of insanity
We speak Of sleep as the image 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, OF
is reduced to its minimum. SLEEP
repairs the waste which waking
hours have made. 1t rebulds the
system. The night is the repair shop
Of the body. Every part ofthe sys-
TEN is silently oyerhauled, and all
the organs, tissues, and substances
are replenishcd. Waking consumes
and eXhausts, sleep replaces and re-
pairs. 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 sleep. The
quality of mental activity depends
upon the quality Of sleep, Men need
on an average, eight hours Of sleep a
day. A lymphatic temperament
may require nine; a nervous tenn
permanent six or seven. A Emphatic
man is sluggish, moves and sleeps
solwly. But a nervous man acts
quickly in everything He does
more in an hour than a sluggish
man in two hours; and so in his
sleep. Every man must sleep ac-
cording to his temperamcnt-but
eight hours is the average. Who
ever by work, pleasure, sorrow, or
by any other cause is regularly di. |
minishing his sleep, is destroying
his life. A man may hold out for a
long time, but the crash will come,
and he will die. There is a great
deal Of intemperance besides that
Of tobacco, opium or brandy. Men
are, dissipated who overtaX their sys-
tenn all day, and undersleep every
night. A man who died of dclirium
tremens is no more a drunkard and
n suicide than the minister, the law
yer, the merchant, the editor, or the
printer, that works excessively all
day and sleeps but little all night.

Clark County Democrat, merits ;
careful and consideratc perusal:
Asa general thing. we like to have
our friends call on us at our office
even they have no particular bust
ness; but when they come and spend
the day it is a different thing, and
when all through the day they put
in whistling, singing, reading the
copy on the case, and the proof.
sheets, talking to the compositors
and editors, and thereby diverting
our attention from work, and put
ting themselves in everybody's way
generally and particularly, then
they are absolutely uncomfortable
From all accounts, a bull in a china
shop is mighty bad, buta whistler
and singer ina printing office during
working hours, is pre-eminently bad,
and is likewise the greatest nuisance
that ever suffering people were
afflicted with. 1t is the unpardon-
able sin for an outsider TO 20 into a
printing office and read the proof
sheets or the copy on the cases I'M
less he is invited to do so. We, and
all other printers. like to reserve
our items until the grand occasion
of the usual off the paper, when all
persons, great OF small, Of high or
low degree, are at perfect liberty to
read, applaud or abuse, as the case
may be, any and every item, article
and advertisement contained in the
whole sheet if it suits their pleasure

From the Cincinnati VOlksJlat.
Bright Liberal Prospects in Ohio.

The defeat in Pennsylvania seems to have
had rather depressing effect on our esteemed
colleague of the Pittsburs polksblaa. Matters
are not by far as bad as our friend Bauer seems
to think, We do not, indeed, expect anything
from Pennsylvania but we lock forward to a
Liberal victory in Ohio, not simply as pro-
liability, but nearly as certainty, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First: Thousands of Republicans are deter
mined to vote for Greeley who could not make
up their minds to vote the Democratic State
ticket, notwithstanding the fact that there was
q crippled Union Soldier at its head.
Second: The powerful personal influence of
all the candidates for local offices or Congress,
who developed such an untiring activity in re-
gard to the October election, will fall away in
November These candidates have either been
elected or beaten. If elected, they have &C
complished their aim, and are happy. Now,
nobody would take upon himself the same trou-
bic for another that he would undergo in his
own behalf. If beaten, they will certainly
rest: because it is not to be presumed that they
will repeat for another the Improbable labor
which availed themselves nothing.
Third: Hamilton county has not, by far, as
yet developed its whole strength. 1t gave
5000 majority last Tuesday. In November
it will most probably give 10000 to 10000 ma
jority, for there are in county like ours thou
sands Of voters, who want to be on the side Of
the majority, wholly regardless of the question
of higher politics. Besides, at least 10000
citizens have stayed away from the polls who
will be on hand next November. A presidon-
tal election always brings out q larger vote
than local election.
If the Grant men in Ohio, therefore, had a
majority of $4,000 last Tuesday, only 1900
votes are necessary to neutralize that majority.
Hamilton county alone can furnish 5000, and
in other parts of the State, taken together, GER
tainly as many, if not more, will be furnished.
