How Long Shall We Sleep.

The fact Is, that. as life becomes con.
cen,rated, and its pursuits more eager,
shor, sleep and early rising become im-
possible. We take more sleep than our
ancestors. and We take more because We
want more. Six hours sleep day will
do very well for plonghman or brick
layer, or any other man who has no ex-
haustion but that produced by manual
labor, and the sooner he takes it after his
labor is oyer the better. But for man
whose labor is mental. the stress Of york
is on his brain and nervous system. and
for him. who is tired in the evening with
n day of mental application, neither early
to bed nor early to rise is altogether
wholesome. He rceds letting down to
the level Of reposo. The longer the in
tcryql between tho active use Of the brain
and his retirement to bed. tho better his
chance Of sleep and refreshmcnt. To him
an hour pfier midnight is probably as
good as two before il, and even then bis
sleep will not so completely and quickly
restore him as it will bis neighbor who is
tired. lie mus. not ouly 90 to
bed later. but lie longer. His best sleep
probably lies 10 the early morning hours,
when all the nervous excitement has pass
ed away. and be 10 iu absolute rest.

MRS. DOrr7s Poems.

Thn burlington Free Press contain.
the following appreciativc notice Of
Mrs. DORIS Poems;
The literary public Of Vermont, if we
may use so ambitious an expression. has
long been aware that we have a poet
among us, and has been confident that
in due time she would be recognized as
such by the larger public. Her ''Sybil
Huntington. 10y its touches Of genuine
pathos. had shown that Mrs. DOrr had
command Of at least one of the elements
of tgi poetry. We venture to say that
every reader Of that affecting story had
reason 10 thank the author for touching
some strings OF pure emotion which or
dinary fiction. conventional and rue as
it is. seldom if ever reached. And we
find that Mrs. Dorr's poetry has the
same marked characteristic as her prose.
1t is suffused with feeling. She has not
attempted to soar into the realms of the
Imagination. or to dive into the cavern
Ous dccps Of thought. She has followed
the advice of Sir Philip Sidney's muse,
Dip thy pen in the heart and write.
She sings back into our hearts our own
loves and SORROWS. fears and warnings.
intensified, cnnObled. interpreted to
us by purer and warmer heart than
ours. Mrs. DORIS poetic conception
and style are her own,-and yet we
could fancy ourselves reading here a
page from Tennyson, there a legend
from Whittier's, and here again strain
from Dora Grecnwell. IF Tennyson, in
these his degenerate days were to pub
lish anything as vigorous and intense as
y 4
he was renewing his youth. The warm
est admirers Of Whittier might applaud
him for The Drummer Boys Burial,
or The Last of Six" Dora GreenweI
never wrote anything better than Out
grown, or Once.
We feel sure that this little volume of
lyrics, simple and unambitious, yet full
of true and tender feeling, will still
further endcar Mrs. Dorr to the many
who have enjoyed her prose, and will
bring many new admirers into the rap
idly enlarging circle of those who recog-
MIC her gifts and rejoice in her SUCCESS.
