On Getting Up in the Morning.


A person goes to bed with his mind
fully made up to rise in the morning ut
the proper time, whenever that may be.
He knows very well he ought to do it
and that it will be better for him in every
way if he does do it. Intrenched in this
virtuous resolution he falls asleep; but
when he awakes, dull sense of inertness
weighs him down, and if he stops to think
about getting up he finds that that in
clination has usurped the place of reason,
and that if there is one thing under the
sun more ridiculous than another, it is
the idea of getting out of bed just then.
The hour of rising has not SO much to do
with the difficulty as iscommonly thought.
No doubt, when the mornings are dark
and cold and dreary the difficulty is in
pressibly disagreeable to turn out Of a
warm bed into the chill of wintry at
mosphere. But, nevertheless, we are very
much inclined to think that where there
is any difficulty of the kind, it is in the
main the same whether we get up at six
o'clock or nine. There is q plunge TO be
made at last by even the most inveterate
ie-abed, and the only reason why he gets
up at all is because he feels he must make
the plunge. Directly we begin to think
we are almost sure to lie abed but when
we refuse to think, we nre much more
likely to get up. The weakness of reso-
luton which some experience in their
waking moments is not mfrequently to
be accounted for by the fact that they are
then almost incapable Of thinking except
in adistorted way. Itmay appear ridicu-
lous to those healthy, bird-like risers who
invariably awake with mind and body
alike completely invigolated but it is
certain that good many people awake
with a sense of weariness, beclouded
mind, feeling of being only half alive,
which, although their sleep may have
been sound and have really done them
good, and although they lose these feel
ings as soon as they are fairly astir, yet
ON first opening their eyes render them
unfit to think at all. Any motion to rise
Is sure to be negatived if put to the vote |;
the only way in which resolution can help
them Is by being concentrated In an i'm
mediate unthinking effort of the will. It
is way Of overcoming the difficulty that
is more practicable than it may at first
seem, and amounts to this That it is far
easier for some to get out of bed without
