Sleep as IA StimnIant.

The best possible thing for man tc
do, when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through, is to go to bed and SLEEP
as long as he can. This is the only re-
cuperalion of brain force; because dur
ing sleep the brain is in a state of rest,
in condition to receive the appropriate
particles OF nutriment from the blood,
which takes the place of those which have
been consumed on previous labor, since
the very act of thinking consumes OF
burns up certain particles, as every turn
of the wheel OF screw of the splendid
steamer is the result of consumption by
fire of the fuel in the furnace.
The supply of consumed brain sub,
stance can only be had from the nutri.
tive particles i'll the blood, which were
obtained from the food eaten previously,
and the brain is so constituted that il
can best receive and appropriate to itself
those nutritive PARTICLES during a state
Of rest, of quite and stiffness, of sleep.
Mere stimQlants supply nothing in them
selves; they goad the brain and force il
to greater consumption of its substance,
until the substance has been so exhaust
ed that there is not power enough left tc
receive supply, as men who are so near
death by thirst and starvation :.h!lat there
is not power enough left to swallow any
thing, and all is over,

EO Young Brides.

The pastor of a church in one of our
large cities said not long ago: have
officiated at forty weddings since | came
here, and IN every cage, save one, | felt
that the bride was running an awful risk.
Young men of bad habits and fast ten
denotes never marry girls of their own
sort, but demand a wife above suspicion.
So, pure, sweet women, kept from the
touch Of evil through the years of their
girlh0od, give themselves, with all their
costly dover Of wOmanhoal, into the keep
ing of men who, in base associations, have
| learned to undervalue all that belongs to
them, and then find no time for repentance
ia the sad after years. There is but one
way out of this that | can see, and that
is for you-the young women of the
country-to require in association and
marriage, purity for purity, sobriety for
| sohriety, and honor for honor, There is
no reason why the young men of this
/ Christian land should not be Just as vir-
tuous as its young women, and if the loss
of your society and love be the price they
are forced to pay for vice, they will not
pay it. | admit with sadness that not all
our young women are capable of thi
| high standard for themselves or others
but believe there are enough earnest
thoughtful girls in the society of our
country to work wonders if faithfully
aroused. Dear girls, will you help US,
in the name of Christ? Will you, first
of all, be true to yourselves and God ;
SO pure in your inner and outer life that
you shall have a right tic ask that the
young men with whom you associate, and
especially those you marry, shall be the
same? The awful gulf of dishonOr is
close beside your feet, and in it fathers,
brothers, lovers and sons are going down
! VIII you not help us in our great work q
