Sleeping Draughts.

An English doctor, writing about
sleep and sleeplessness, observes that the
state narcotics produce is not sleep, but
a condition of narcotism that counter
feits sleep, adding When man says,
L want a quiet night, l will take
sleeping draught, he speaks in parallels.
To express the fact plainly he should
say, l want a quiet night; / cannot OBJ
tain it by going to sleep, or am afraid
TO trust to the chances of natural rest, so
l will poison myself little, just enough
TO make me unconscious, or to slightly
paralyze my nerve centers, not enough
to kill Ifthis fact could be kept clearly
before the mind, the reckless use of
drugs which produce a state that mOcks
sleep would be limited The state Of
inaction which is brought about by
natural sleep is very different from that
which is produced by paralysi9of any

available to purchase as follows: United

Words OF Wisdom.

The smallest perfect achievement is
nobler than the grandest failure.
The veil which covers the face of fu-
turity is woven by the hand of mercy.
1t is said with life as with coffee, he
who drinks it pure must not drain it to
the dregs.
If we were all permitted TO put our
own valuation on ourselves there would
not be a low priced man in the world.
This is true philanthropy that buries
not its gold in ostentatious charity, but
builds its hospital in the human heart.
Every person has two educations-one 9
which he receives from others, and one,
more important, which he gives him
self.
Miseries come unbidden and always
stay too long, while joys must be sought
for, and when found are apt to slip away
unawares.
There is a great deal of unmapped
country within us which would have to
be taken into account in an explanation
of our gusts and storms.
Every PERSONS natural weight of af-
Fiction is frequently made more un-
happy by the envy, malice, treachery or
injustice of his neighbor.
Sin always begins with pleasure and
ends with bitterness. 1t is like a colt,
which the little boy said was very tame
in front and very wild behind.
We should enjoy our fortune as we do
our health-enjoy il when good, be pa
tient when it is bad, and never apply
violent remedies except in an extreme
necessity.

Time.

Time! what is timer A power stern, bodiless
That we may feel, but never see. We gaze
With aching eyes into the past, and there
We see thousand shapes of light and gloom
Floating like atoms in the pallid beams
Of mourniul memory, but the perished year
Is all unseen. From thence we sadly turn,
And gazing on the future, we behold
Dim, countless forms trooping from its dark
Unlathomed ocean to the lonely shore
OF earthly being, but the coming years
Are all invisible. And then we pause
And gaze above, around, beneath, and
Our eyes are startled by the mighty deeds
OF the passing time; the iron weight
Of his stern presence rests upon our souls;
We feel the awful specter touch our brows
With his cold, death-lke finger; and we hear
The deep and mingled roar that rises up
From all his mighty doings on our earth;
And yet he has no form to cast its gleam
Or shadow on our sight.
George d. Prentice.
