SLeep the Best StimuLnnt. .

The best possible thing for man to
Go when he feels too weak to carry his
work through, is to go to bed and sleep
week if he can. This is the only true
recuperstion Of power, the only actual
recuperation Of the brain force. Because,
during sleep the bgaIn is in state of
rest, and in a condition TO receive and
appropriate particles OF uutriment from
the blood, which take the place OF those
| which have been consumed 10 previous
labor, since the very act OF thinking con-
sumes. burns up solid particles, as every
turn of the wheel or screw of the splen-
did steamer is the result Of consumption
by fire Of the fuel in the furnace. The
supply OF consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive particles
| in the blood, which were obtained from
the food previously eaten, and the brain
is so constituted that il can best receive
aud appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during state OF rest, OF qniet
and stiffness in sleep. Mere stimulanls
supply nothing in themselves; they only
goad the brain, force il to greater con-
sumption ol its substance. until that sub
stance hes been so exhausted THAI ;hero
is moi power enough left to receive e
supply, just as men are SO near death By
thirst and starvation that there is not
power enough 10 swallow any thing, and
all is over.-Watchnlan.

TEMPERANcE.-The Chsrlottetown Pat
riot says the temperance tidal wave has
reached tAa, city. d. Banks Mckenzie
the gentleman who has literally carried
everything before him in the principle
towns of Nova Scotia-arrived in Char
lottetown on Tuesday OF last week, and
commenced mis- work Tuesday evening.
The Pqlrl0t says: "He told his audience
on that occasion that ne mad come to con-
quer. Many of them laughed at him
bu. they are beginning to see that he
knew whereof he spoke. His audienc
grew larger each night, until it was
found necessary 10 remove from the
Atheneum to the Market Hall. Already
over three hundred persons have taken
the pledge, and the beauty oi 1t is, that
the msjority OF that number were drink
ers-many OF them har, drinkers. We
have seen men rush up to sign theiI
names with tears in their eyes, that We
never expected to be teetotalers. The
badge of this new Reform Club is small
piece of blue ribbon worn in bultor
hole of the coat. 1t does the hesrt gooC
to meet every third person in the street
with his blue ribbon. There is no dis
tinction OF persons in this club. Al
classes vie with each other in flocking tC
the standard. There are hearty greet
ings of persons who never shook hand.
before, and an era of good will seems x
have been inaugurated.

The Fiirt's Ap0tOgy.

All women are tickle, you tell me:
well-yes-if by fickle you mean
A tribe less false than you men are,
And greatly more true than they seem
"But women are cruel-so cruel
They natter and coax for awhile,
Then tread on the hearts that you give then
And deal US blow with smile
We are crue,-it may be, Int cruel
In million OF charming wavs
SO sorry at times 20 have huri YOU
SO kind on the gloomiest days
But you meu you calculate nicely
How near you may go, or how mr.
And never one moment you soften,
Or pity the hopes tnat you mar.
And when you at last are successful,
And the iower floats down 10 your ieet,
Its colors are no more so perfect,
It's perfume Is no more 80 sweet.
You leave It to lie on the roadside
(First trampliug It down In The dustb
And fancy that such is your r'sht here,
To break and 70 outrage our trust.
You think us so weak. till We sting you,
And give you at last your deserts:
And then you turn round In yUur anger
And vow that all women are hirts.
Believe me that If you would let US
Be honest and true, as we arc
Not striving 70 conquer Us Always
The world would be better by far.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1878-07-02

shawl, gave sigh OF mingled WEAKNESS
and disgust, as she came down the grav-
eled walk. She had heard OF the straw
hat episode. and looked for nothing else
than an irate message from Mrs. Dolan.
What was her surprise 10 see her own
lost pin, the gift OF dear friend, glisten-
ing in the moonlight as Tom held 1t
toward her
"How good OF you Tom, TO bring ii TO
me-"
Her voice falteIed little as she spoke,
Tor Della jay, one of the big, and big
hearted girls too, had been offered snuff
since school, by Jim White, and she told
him she did not believe poor Tom Dolan
had any upti he (Jim) put it in his desk.
And Jim didn't deny it, only laughed, and
said Tom was used 10 being licked and
didn't mind it,
Dolis had waxed indignant as she went
on, and made her teacher rather uncom-
iortsble.
Tom was so pleased TO have Miss vii
ton praise him that he didn't run away
directly, as he had planned TO do,
bu, stood pulling at rag on his jacket
until he had pulled it off, while Miss Viii
ton considered what to do next. She
couldn't apologize Tor having whipped
the wrong boy, that would never do.
Money was the best balm for his wound
cd spirit, if indeed he was not. rs Jim
White had said, to used 20 blows TO care.
What shall pay your she asked,
iumbiug for her purse. For once she
was stupid in her turn.
Tom answered steadily snd with a
ring in his voice that she had never heard
before. "Nothin'. didn', bring ii back
for your sake, but because he WAS treated
bad, was despised and all that. And if
he could stand it, I'm going to Try"
He broke into a sob and tried 10 run
away, but Miss Wilton caught him by
the arm and said forgive me, my child,
for not understanding you"
She won him TO tell her the whole
story, and then she did two or three
strange things for one in her position
She went home with Tom, pacited and
even delighted the poor, ignorant mother
by her account of her son. and lett money
tor hat and more besides.
The next morning she changed Toms
seat-for meritorious conduct. she told
the scholars.
Then. looking straight at Jim White,
who covered beneath her glance, she
said
II believe made mistake in whip
ping Thomas yesterday, but be wished
me TO forgive the real offender, because
OF Him who said, Love your enemies"
The whole school felt that Tom Dolsn
was not the same boy in the teachers
opinion that be had been, and that it was
no longer safe to treat him as heretofore.
He never was brilliant scholar. but
he did his best, and Miss Wilton found
that her teaching him was different
matter from what it had been.
Later she got position for him in a

The days OF ohivalry and song,

As time in circles speeds along.

That all my heart is beating fast,
And these for me are friendships free,

Hove the past, those quiet times,
80 hallowed by the poets lay,
The charm Of song, the sweetest rhymes
Whercwith 20 bless a summer day.
The men 80 bold We there behold
Their fortunes free with beauty cast,
An, there to me pure friendships be,
