BEST TINE TO SLEEp-Sleep obtained
two hours before midnight, when the mega.
tive forces are in operation is the rest
which most recupcrates the system, giving
brightness to the eye and a glow to the
cheek. The difference in the appearance
of a person who habituaily retire at ten
o'clock and that one who sits up until 70
o'clock is quite remarkable. The tone of
the system, SO evident in the complexion,
the clearness and sparkle Of the eye, and
the softness of the lines Of the features, is
in person of health, kept at "concer,
pitch" by taking regular rest two hours
before 19 o'clock, and thereby obtaining
tho "hearty sleep" Of night. There is a
heaviness Of the eye, sallowness Of the
skin, and an absence of that glow in the
face which renders it fresh in expression
and roun6 in appearance, that readily dis
tinguishes the persons who keep late
hours.-Er.
