The Necessity of Rest.

We wish we could impress upon all the
vast Importance of securing sound and
abundant sleep. If so we should feel that
we had done an immense good to our fellow
beings, not merely in preventing insanity,
but other diseases also. To procure sleep
it is important that the mind should not be
disturbed for several hours before retiring
to rest. Retire early, and when neither
very warm nor cold, sleep on hair mat
tress or a bed not very soft. The bedroom
should be large and well ventilated, and the
bed should not be placed near the wall nor
near the window, as such an arrangement
often exposes the person to currents of cold
air. There should be nothing tight about
the neck, and the rule of cleaning the teeth
before retiring is good one. Tea or coffee
taken late at night is apt to disturb sleep.
Strive to Danish thought as much as possi-
BILE, or take up the dullest subject. Study
during the evening is improper.
Nervous persons who are troubled with
wakefulness and excitability usually have a
strong tendency of blood to the brain, with
cold extremities. The pressure of the
blood on the brain keeps it in a stimulated
or wakeful state, and the pulsations of the
head are often painful. Let such rise and
chafe the body and extremities with brush
or towl, or rub smartly with the hands to
promote circulation and Withdraw the ex~
cessive quantity of blood from the brain,
and they will fall asleep in a few moments.
A sponge bath and rubbing, or good run
or rapid walk in the open air, just before re-
tiring, will aid in equalizing circulation
and promoting sleep. Some people are able
to perform much mental labor, and to study
late at night, and yet sleep well. Some re-
quire but little sleep. But such individuals
are very rare. Sleep seemed to be at the
command of Napoleon, as he could sleep
and wake apparently at his will
A writer observes of NJ. Guizot, former
minister of France " His facility for going
to sleep after extreme excitement and mem
tai exertion is prodigious. After the most
boisterous and tumultuous sittings at the
Chamber, after being baited by the opposi-
tion in the most savage manner-there Is
no milder expression for their excessive
violence-he arrives at home, throws him
self upon a couch, and sinks Immediately
into profound sleep, sleep from which he
is undisturbed till midnight, when proofs
of the Moniteur are brought to him for cor
rection."
1t is an interesting fact" says another
writer, that for many of the latter years
of his life, Sir Robert Peel was in the inya-
riable habit, at whatever hour he returned
from his Cabinet, or the House of Com
mons, of reading for half an hour in some
religious book before retiring to rest. 1t
was by this habit, he said that he could
keep his mind calm and clear after the dis
fractions and irritatious of the day"

Scenes in Damascus.
Fraser's Magazine.

Fraser's Magazine.
Like all Eastern cities, the interior Is
disappointing. The streets are dusty
and narrow, and the effect of the shabby
houses and dilapidated walls is rather
that of collection of villages huddled
together than Of large and important
city. Our first call was made at an ex
cellent hotel kept by a Greek. Its
court-yards with fountains playing and
large orange trees shadowing the whole
place, looked so enticing, It's myrtles and
iessamines and marble floors so cool, and
its bedrooms so clean and comfortable,
that we felt quite sorry it had not been
arranged that we should stay there, in
stead of pitching our tents in one Of the
far-tamed gardens of Damascus. From
the hotel we made a progress through
the picture bazars. Here there are
covered-in buildings, swarming with
people in every variety of oriental cos
tunes. Turks, Syrians, Maronites and
Druses of the town jostle each other.
Now a Bedouin of the desert rides by
on beautiful Arab mare, with his long
pointed lance at rest, followed by other
Bedouins on foot and in rags, unsuccess-
ful robbers, possibly. Friday is the
Mohammedan Sabbath, and they make
it market day as well, so the Bedouins
of the desert who come from long dis
tances may combine their temporal and
spiritual duties comfortably and do their
marketing and go to the mosque on the
same day. The streets were even more
crowded than last night, with varied
and wonderful costumes, 50 closely
packed that it was difficult to make
ones way through them. In the corner
stood Bedouin Ananzeh, of the tribes
from near Palmyra, bargaining for a
cane to make a spear, his goat s-hair
cloak, with its broad black and white
stripes, hanging from his stalwart
shoulders. Another of the tribe hard
by seemed to be doing his best to sell
his horse, while others again rode by
with an distracted air, the graceful
mares which they bestrode often fol-
lowed by whinnying foals. Groups of
Jewish, Turkish, or Christian women
made their purchases with quite as
much earnestness and gesticulation as
housewives nearer home, while their
lords and masters lounged near, proba-
bly, keeping an eye on the domestic ex-
penditures, but apparently only intent
on sweet-meats from some of the many
venders There were no Franks ex
cept ourselves.
