NEss-When persons
who do not otherwise appear to be
sick suffer from continued Wakeful-
ness, this is a sure sign of mental
exhaustion. When any part of the
body is specially exerted, the blood
flows in increased quantity to that
part. So when there is any stress
laid on the brain, the head becomes
surcharged with blood as is shown
by the flushing of the face. If
this condition is long continued, the
hlood-vessels lose the power of con
tracing. Then the brain remains
in an excited state, even when the
mind has no longer any desire to
work, and it cannot take its proper
rest in sleep. In order to enjoy re
freshing sleep it is necessity that the
blood be not concentrated in the
head, but diffused equally through
all parts of the body. This is prob
ably the reason why the warm bath
just before going to bed is so con
duciye to a good night srepose. 1t
is, however, the best way not to al
low the mind to get excited near the
hour of rest, but TO let it run down
gradually, like clock in the even
ing. There have been some won
derful cases of sleeplessness caused
by undue mental exertion, Boer-
have, the Dutch philosopher, tells
us that at one time he was SO absorb
ed in a particular study that he did
not close his eyes in sleep for six
weeks. This seems incredible.

TEXAS TRAVELLERS.
On Tuesday night, Messrs John

Jesse Fry, reached the village after
an absence, the one of two and the
other of five years. They both
look well, declare themselves de
lighted with their travels, and what
is best of all, think that this
country is as good place to live
in as any they have visited, and ex
pect to remain.
FESTIVITIES.
Joe. McCaul and his beautiful
Bette gave a party on Tuesday
night, which was largely attended.
All seemed to be delighted. An
Elder mot present) remarked that
it partook somewhat of the nature
of an interlocutory meeting be-
tween the churches, the Methodist
supplying the house and the Pres
byterians the dancers. Which puts
us in mind, that when we stated
some time ago that among the 30 or
40 young people who had joined
the church during the last five years.
there had been no case of discipline,
we were by no means affirming this
of the whole church.

bell and Clara Bodenhamer on the

astonished at their proficiency. II
