SLEEp.-The most violent passions and ex,
citements Of the mind cannot preserve even
powerful minds from sleep, thus Alexander e the
Great slept on the field of Arbela, and Napo,,
leon upon that of AusIerltz. Even stripes and
torture cannot keep off sleep, as criminals have
been known to sleep on the rack. Noises which
at FIRST serve to drive away sleep, soon become
indispensable to its existence thus stage
coach stopping wakes all the passengers. The
owner of an iron forge, who slept close to the
din of hammers, FORCES and blasts furnaces,
would awake if there was any interruption 10
them during the night and sick miller VINO
had his mill stopped on that account, passeI
sleepless nights until the mlll resumed It's usuai
seuts sleep as overcoming all men, and even
the gods except Jupiter alone.
