HINTS ON SLEEP.-To literary men,
teachers, lawyers, doctors, journalists,
and brain workers in general, the follow
ing hints are exceedingly worth atten-
ton: The fact is, that as life becomes
concentrated, and its pursuits more ca
ger, short sleep and early rising become
impossible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, and we take more sleep
because we want more. Six hours sleep
viii do very well for plowman 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 the better. But for the man
whose labor is mental, the stress is on
his brain and nervous system, and fol
him who is tired in the evening with .
day of mental application, neither early
to bed or early TO rise is wholesome. He
needs letting down to the level ofrepose
The longer interval between the active
use Of the brain and the retirement tC
bed, the better his chance Of sleep and
refreshment. To him an hour after mid.
night is probably as good as two before
it, and even then his sleep will not q
completely restore him as it win hi
neighbOr who is physically tired Hi
best sleep is in the early morning hours
when all the nervous excitement ha
passed away and be is perfectly at rest

TESTIMONIALS.

Among the many testimonials that have been given
in favor of the Giant its inventor begs leave to re-

CAN YOU AFFORD IT!

Can you afford to work hard all day,
and read, study, or court the vagaries
of society all night, thus wasting your
vitality, exhausting your nervous sys-
tenn, and bringing on premature disease,
decay and old age ?
Can you afford to eat hastily, and
then rush to study or business, with
drawing the nervous energy from the di-
gestive system to the brain ard muscles,
and thus inducing dyspepsia, in few
years at most, to scourge and haunt and
make you miserable for years or for life
Can you afford to live on rich or high
ly-seasoned food, eat champagne suppers
because an artificial appetite is thus
gratifed, rendering dyspepsia, gout, ap.
oplexy, in the middle of life, almost a
certainty ?
Can you afford to commit suicide
through the indulgence of appetite and
passion, adopting the FOOLS motto, "A
short life and merry one %
Can you afford to indulge in fast liv.

MY CREED.

All the realms of poesy furnish few rarer gems thai
these lines from the pen of Mrs. Mary A Townshend
of New Orleans They breathe the purest and tender
est soul of passion glow and tnge in every syllable
with the celestial fire of genius and love:
believe, if 1 should die,
And you should kiss my eyelids when lie,
Cold dead and dumb to all the world contains,
The folded orbs would open at thy breath,
And from its exile in the Isle of Death
Life would come gladly back along my veins
believe if were dead,
And YOU upon my lifeless heart should tread,
Not knowing what the poor elod CHANGED to be,
1t would find sudden pulse beneath the touch
OF him ever loved in life so mueh
And throb again warm, tender, true TO thee.
believe if on my grave,
Hidden in woody deeps, or by the wave,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears OF regret,
From every salty seed of your dear grief,
Some fair sweet blossoms would leap into leaf,
To prove death could not make my love forget.
I believe if should fade,
Into those mystic realms where light is made.
And YOU should long once more my face to see,
would come forth upon the hills of night,
And gather stars like fagots, till thy sight,
Led by their beacon blaze fell full on me
believe my faith in thee,
Strong my life. nobly placed to be,
would soon expect to see the sun
Fall like q dead king from his height sublime,
His glory stricken from the throne of Time,
AS thee unworth the worship thou hast won.
l believe who has not loved
Hath half the treasure of his life unimproved:
Like one who with the grape within his grasp,
Drops it, with all its crimson juice impressed,
And all its luscious sweetness left unguessed,
Ont from his careless and unheeding clasp.
1 believe love- pure and true,
Is to the soul sweet, immortal dew,
That gems life's petals in the hour of dusk;
The waiting angels see and recognize
The rich crown jewel, Love, of Paradise
When life falls from us like a withered husk.

THE CROAKER.

There are set of imbeciles in this
world who know just enough to croak,
and are nearly equal to the toad in con-
sequence. They live because they have
not sufficient courage to favor the world
and the newspapers with case of sui
eide If they can find doad rnan's
shoes, they step into them, and wonder
why it is that anybody has sufficient en-
terprise to get new pair. If somebody,
or event, shoVes such creatures into for
tune they become respectable and veal
thy, and the community is saved from
supporting them in the poor house or a
worse place. Such people cannot under
stand why anybody should have brains
or energy enough to live upon their own
individual exertions. Enjoying the for
tunes which others have made, strutting
upon the success which dead men have
achieved, living upon the bones of the
skeleton past, they cannot conceive how
any one should be SO presumptuous as
to conceive anything new, or to DO diff
ferently than Adam did. It was this
class of men that murdered the Saviour !;
it was this class of men who prosecuted
our forefathers and drove them from
their English homes it was this class
of men who murdered our kindred in the
late rebellion. and it is this class of men
who invariably get worsted in the bat
tie of life. and die unregretted.
