university, a man should be able TO ob-
tain Instruction.. in all forms OF knowl-
edge. Now by"forms of knowledge" I
mean the great classes of things know
able; OF which the first, in logical though
not in natural, order is knowledge re-
lating to the scope and limits of the men-
tai faculties OF man; a form of knowl-
edge which, in ito positive aspect, an :
swers pretty much to logic and part of

Hints ON SLEEP.-To literary men,
preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors,
journalists, and brain workers in gener-
al, the following hints are exceedingly
worthy of attention: The fact is that as
life becomes concentrated, and its pur-
suits more eager, short sleep and early
rising become impossible. Wetake more
sleep than our ancestors, and we take
more sleep because we want more. Six
hours sleep will do very well for
ploughman or briCklayer or any other
man who has no exhaustion but that
produced bv manual labor, and the
sooner he takes it after the labor the
better. But for the man whose labor is
mental, the stress is on his brain and
nervous system, and for him who is
tired in the evening with a dav of men
tai application, neither early to bed nor
early to rise is wholesome. He needs
letting down to the level of repose. The
longer interval between the active use
of the brain and the retirement to bed, g,
the better his chance of sleep and re-
treshment To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as two hours
before it, and even then his sleep will
not so completely restore him as it will
his neighbor who is ply sically tired.
His best sleep is in the early morning
hours, when all the nervous excitement
has passed away, and he is in absolute
rest.

lurch +; in this train come all the divorce
and adultery cases and countless mis-
erable unclean histories which never
find their way into the courts.
But our Polly, most probably, is one
OF the mass of healthy, easy.tempered
unnoteworthy women who keep the
worlds private ways clean and sweet
only by living in them. In all likeli-
hood her early ideal will drop out Of
sight, as ridiculous in her remembrance
as the old-fashioned gown in which she
was married, and she will patiently
wait until the truant fancy of her hus-
band comes back to her. There is no
magnet to hold him like the certainty
OF the steady love ofa sweet-tempered
wife. Now, when she is first building
her nest in this summer of courtship,
we have one more word of advice to
give her; that there is no way so GER
tain to bring a man back faithfully to
wife and home as to give him room to
make an occasional flight outside of
them. Our neighbours grapes are al
ways sweet as long as they are forbid
den. But herein lies philosophy which
Folly never learns nor practices.

bathing, especially in warm weather, A.

FLORIDA'S OLDEST INHABITANT.

Sailing back, we were treated to the
sight of an alligator fifteen feet long, sun
ming himself on a hammock of yellow
grass. The wrinkle underneath his lower
jaw gave him a good-humored look, and
he seemed actually to smile as the bullets
Missed around him. The alligator is by no
means tritlng enemy; and the Flordian
tells strange stories of the creatures
strength, tieetness, and strategy. An ALI
gator hunter in Jacksonville gave me an
idea of these characteristics, somewhat
after the following fashion:
The 'gaiter, sir, is ez quick eZ light
MIN, and ez nasty. He kin outswim
deer, and he he= dun it, too; he swims more
IL two-thirdS out O. water, and when he
ketches you, sir, he Jest wabbles you right
over N over, hundred times, or mo-, sir,
ez quick ez the wind; and you re dead in
no time, sir When dog sees one he allus
begins to yelp, sir. for 'gater is mighty
fond of dog and niger, sir. Nobody
can't tell how old them old fellows is, sir;
| reckon nigh on to a hundred years, them
biggest ones. Thar Is some old devils in
them lagoons you see off the st. Johns;
they lie thar very quiet, but it would be a
good tussle if one of you was out thar in
IA small boat, sir. They won't always fight;
sometimes they run away very meek; the
best way to kill 'em is to put ball in the
eye, sir; thars no use in wasting shot on a
CATERS hide. When the boys wants sport,
sir, they git long green pole. and sharpen
it,; IN then they find CATERS hole in the
marsh, and put the pole down it, then the
'gaiter he snaps at it, N hangs on to it, n
the boys get together, n pull him out N
put a rope aroun' his neck, and set him TO

reckon It would make yo' har curl to see

AUTUMN.

1t is a fair autumnal day,
The ground is Strewn with yellow leaves
The maple stems CLEAN bare and gray,
The grain is bound in golden sheaves;
Afar hear the speckled quails
Pipe shrilly mid the stubble dry,
And mufiled beats from busy fails
Within the barn near by.
The latest roses now are dead,
Their petals scattered far and wide,
The sumac berries, richly red,
Bedeck the lane on either side;
A dreamy calm is in the air
A dreamy echo on the sea;
All, never was day more fair
Than this, which blesses me
see the shocks of ripened corn
The yellowed MOSES on the roof,
The diamond dew drops of the morn,
That string with gems the spiders wool
An azure haze is hanging low,
About the outside of the hills,
And changing sea- fowl southwark 60
From marshes, flats and hills.
For many years, the autumn brought
A solemn sadness to my soul
1t sombred cen my lghtest thought,
And on my gayest moments stole;
was Sau, yeC SWeeI-a oIi"uSo amy
Of hope and sorrow intertwined-
Thus autumn brings me only JOY,
No shadow haunts my mind.
And why is this? The dead leaves fall
The blossoms wither as Of old;
And winter comes, with snowy pail,
To wrap the earth, SO chill and cold;
The ea-fowl, strung athwart the sky,
Still chant their plaintive monotone
And why, when leaves and blossoms die,
Should feel joy alone?
Oh, ask me not-I must not tell;
dare not all my heart disclose
A fairy wove magic spell
Around me, when decayed the rose;
Two gifts did fading Summer bring
Two symbols of unfading bliss
Upon my finger glows ring,
Upon my lips kiss +!
