Sleep and Digestion.

Speaking from his own experience,
which would appear to differ from the
experience OF oLher people, Frank Buck

bed is Immediately, or very soon after
the principal meal OF The day. "Ail an
mails" he remarks, "alWays go to sleep,
ii they are not disturbed, alter eating.
This is especially npEiceable ia dogs;
and the great John Hunter showed by
experiment. that digestion goes on during
sleep more tnan when an animal Is
awake and going about" Mr.. Buckland
finds confirmation OF his theory ih the
drowsiness which settles DOWN oyer el-

says to them, $50 to bed.' They will not

then, does not Nature quite as clearly

the would-be sleeper who has gone TO

full stomach is not the best preparation

Retracing our way a mile or so, we
took u different road, and approached
the coast through open, grassy feids,
beyond which, ON the edge OF a ioity
bluff. stood the gray old mansion of the
venerable poet, Richard Ii. Dana. The
place is singularly wild, lonely and pic
turesque. No other dwelling is visible;
a little blight OF coast thrusts out It's iDn
headlands at a short distance on either
side, the surf thunders incessantly be-
low, and in front the open ocean
stretches to the sky. Mr.. Dana's only
neighbors are the vessels that come ana

Here, on portico almost overhansing
the sea. we found the old poet. When
first read his poem of "The Buecaneer,"
as boy oil seventeen, he was already

In the wind, his eye undimmed, his voice
uubroken, his intelleot evidently as
clear, calm and sound as ever. 1t
seemed almost incredible.
Dana was born before Byron, Shelley
and Keats; he was old enough to have
| remembered Mozart, Burns and Cowper,
had he met them; he was eighteen when
Schiller died; he was the first matured
man who recognized the genius of the
boy, VIM. Cullen Bryant. Born In 17S7,
he will be eighty-eight in November, and
may reasonably hope to see many sue
| ceeding birthdays. Age has only given
lines OF ruin, and trust some artist may
be found to perpetuate for us his noble
and venerable head. ~
asked him II the spirit of Lee ever
rode the waters below US? He smiled,
and answered: "rwenty years ago, or
more, the body OF horse was washed
ashore here, and 1t happened to be a
white horse." Here is the beginning OF
local legend. A hundred years hence,
possibly, the scene Of the "Bueoaneer"
will be transferred to the Manchester
coast, and the phantom steed and rider
will reappear to the excited vision OF
our future poets.
1t was pleas ant to note Mr.. Dana's in
terest in his old tliend Bryant, whose
"Thanatopsis' was first sent to him Tor
publication, sixty years ago. An anus
| ing incident connected with this literary
event has already been published, but 1t
| will bear repeating. Dana's admiration
| OF the poem was so great that he set
about discovering its author. Somebody
informed him that Bryant was a member
otthe Massachusetts Legislature, then
in session, and he fastened TO The State
House.
But the member with the poetic name
was hard, matter-0' fact old farmer, a
glance at whose face was sufficient for
Dana; that man, he knew, could never
have written ''Thanatopsis." dlis ac-
quaintance with the true Bryant foi-
lowed soon afterward, and may possibly
nave led to the latter's reading OF his
poem of "Tne Ages" at Haryard-I think
In 1870.

Some idea OF the value Of the art In
