Early Rising.

vi course the majority OF the BUSY
members of the community have been
away for change of air and scene"
and, equally, o. course, the majority
have derived substantial beneits-not
at the moment apparent, perhaps, but
to be evidenced, in better health or
more energy, presently. This is,
therefore, good time to speak of such
reforms in the management of self as
may be expedient. We venture to
suggest that those who have not yet
made fair trial of the practice of
early rising should do so. With
cup of tea, and perhaps single slice
, of brsad-and- butter, to wake him at
Is or $50 in the morning, fairly
healthy man may go to his study, and
enjoy the priceless luxury of two or
three hours of work, when his brain is
clear and the distractions of the day.
ordinary business have not begun to
assail him. The practitioner of an ap-
piled science. such as medicine, is es-
pecially in need of time for reading and
quiet thought. In the active hours Of
the day this is denied him. At night
he is. Or ought to be-but for the bad
habit of reading by night, probably
formed in student days-too weary IN
mind and body to do good work. In
the early morning, with his brain re
cuperated by sleep, and his whole sys-
tenn rested, he is especially fit for Ia
Dor. Those who do not feel thus on
awakening are either the subjects of
some morbid state, or the slaves of a
habit, which, however common, is es-
sentially unnatural. Some Of the diff
faculties which beset the task of early
rising are due to want of method in
the act Of ''getting up 1t is com
paratively easy to rouse ones self in
stantly, but to not a few of US it is ex-
tremely irksome, and almost impracti-
cable, to rise slowly. that is, taking
time to think about it The man who
really wishes to rise early should get
up the instant he wakes, and, if weak
ly, or over forty years of age, instead
of plunging into cold water or apply
ing cold to the head 10 rouse himself,
he should. as we have said, take a cup
of tea or milk to stimulate the organ
ism before expecting to elicit reac-
ton by powerful depressant such as
the cold bath or douche. Many per
sons make a mistake in this matter,
and by taking their bath Immediately
after getting out of bed, lower the vi
tality instead of raising it. In certain
cases it is better to leave the bath I'M
til after walk or a spell of work has
thoroughly awakened the organism
and called out its energies. Experien
cies in relation to this and other mat
tiers must differ as widely as constitu-
tional peculiarities diverge; but,
speaking generally, the early morning
is the time for serious work, and those
who do not so use it find poor substi-
tute, and one which is by no means
hygienic, in the late hours forced upon
them. A man cannot get up early if
he goes to bed late; but as between
the two extremities of the day, the
morning is, on all accounts. the best
for brain ex ercise.

Death of King Thepbau'S Son.

The Indian correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Nc,Cs writes of an affection
which has befallcn the King of Burmah,
us follows: king Theebau has suffered
a great blow. His 7-months-old son has
died of smallpox, and his Majesty is IN
consolable. The child was declared
heir apparent, Ain-Shay-Nin, before he
WAS week old, most uncommon thing
in Burmah, whore the successor to the
throne is not usually named till the
King is in his last illness. There are
two reasons for this. The Ain-Shay-Mi
might endeavor unduly to accelerate his
accession, or some of the other children
might kill the heir. Theebau, however,
though he hates the English, adopts
many of their customs, and IL royal man
date announced i'll October to the Minis
ters, the people and the celestial ele-
plant that the first-born son was also
the heir. Vast sums were spent upon
him. He was rocked in cradle in
crusted with diamonds, rubies, sapphires
and emeralds of incredible value. His
outtit-he was To be dressed ca .ingi0is
cost 5000 rupees All the people
living round the palace stockade had to
buy new cooking pots, lest the smell of
rancid oil from old dekcheese might Of
fend the tender nostrils. Aud now the
poor little thing Is dead. Perhaps it is
as well. An heir apparent, declared SO
young, would almost certainly have
been made away with rs soon as he be-
came old enough to be worth killing.
Smallpox has been Very bad in the
royal city, rs, indeed, it Is AL over Bur
NAH just now; $4,000 of his Majes-
tvs subjects are said to have been car
ried off by it, 10000 of these being
young children, SO that Theebau has
plenty of fellow-momners."

Wall street. New York.

Across the island of New York, in
1000, wall made of stone and earth,
and cannon mounted, was built to keep
OF the savages. Along by that wall n
street was laid out, and, as the street
followed the line of the wall, it was APP
propriately called Wall street. Ii is
narrow, it is short it is unarchitectural,
and yet its history is unique. Except
ing Lombard street, London, it is the
mightiest street on this planet There
the Government of the United States
was born. There Washington held his
levees. There Mrs Adams and Caldwell,
and Knox, and other brilliant women of
the Revolution displayed their chorms.
There Witherspoon and Jonathan Ed
wards and George Whitefield sometimes
preached. There DIR. Mason chided
Alexander Hamilton for writing the
Constitution of the United States with
out any God in it. There negroes were
sold III the slave mart. There criminals
were hamessed to wheelbarrows, and,
like beasts of burden, compelled to draw,
or We're dashed through the street be-
hind carts to which they were fastened.
There fortunes have come to coronation
VI bullhi, SluCt llt utN WITCH TechltSS
spectators, in powdered hair and silver
shoe-buclkles, lodged Dugan, the Gov
ernor General of his Majesty, clear
down to yesterday at 3 o'clock.
The history of Wall street is to a cer-
tain extent the financial, commercial,
agricultural, mining, literary, artistic,
moral, and religious history of this coun-
try. Only few blocks long, it has
reached from the Canadas TO the Gulf of
Mexico, from San Francisco TO Bangor.
There are the best men in this country,
and there are the worst. Everything,

d! ssuux VIE NOT IN THE DESERT
WASTE.
BY ROBERT p. DorY.


IThe following lines are intended companion
10 Miss NJ Louisa Chitwood's beautiful gem OF
poenl, entitled 40! Bury Me Not In the Deep, Deel
Sea.
@! bury me not in the desert far
From the dark blue rolling sea,
Where an arid waste beneath some star
Expands itself 10 me;
For no growth is there. no life IL there,
No roses Ia bloom in prime,
40 birds are there, no life IL there,
And no beautiful summer of time!
. bury me not in the desert sad,
Far off from the sunny lea,
Where no bird-songs ever make us glad,
As waited from some tree.
For sands are there, and death is there,
And the piercing sun-rays heat
The heads of those who travel there,
In rounding up their beat.
o. bury me not in the arid waste,
Where the sun-lit sands do burn,
For they haunt us not with Pleasure 'as'o'
Nor the mamma that We earn.
For bones are there and skulls are there,
And devastation reigns;
No hut il there, water there,
But thousand human pains.
o. bury me not in the scorching sand,
Where all is crisp and dry
Where no dowers bloom upon the ahu'
Beneath bright-hued sky
For there H. no human habitat,
No beauties living there;
No living emb.ems OF the good
No blessings great and rare.
O! bury me not in the soilless land,
Where no vegetation grows;
o bury me not in the rolling sand,
Where no flower ever blows.
For no worshipers will ever come
To decorate my grave,
Though hero in this world be,
They will soon forget the brave.
Oh bury me not in the barren scope,
Where no woodbine's tendrils cling;
For no friends would come their eyes TO ope
On the grave of woodland king
For | hate monotony in life
And know would in death.
So bury me in some woodland spot,
Where nature draws Il breath.

NJ. Delaunay has nlistie IL communica-
ton to the SOcicte de Bintssfie respect
ing memory rs studied under the various
biological conditions The inferior
races of mankind, such as negroes, the
Chinese, ETC., have more memory than
those of n higher type OF civilization.
Primitive races which We're unacquaint-
ed with the art of writing had II wonder
full memory, and were for ages in the
habit OF handing down from one gener-
alton to another hymns as voluminous
as the Bible. Prompters ami professors
of defamation know that women have
more memory than men. French women
will learn foreign language quicker
than their husbands. Youths have more
memory than adults. 1t Is well devel-
oped III children, attains it's maximum
about the 14th or 10Th year, and then
decreases. Feeble individuals of a lynn
phatic temperament have more memory
than the strong. Students who obtain
the prize for memory and recitation
chiefly belong to the former class.
Partisan students have also less memory
than those who come from the PROV
inces. At the Ecole Normale and other
schools the pupils who have the best
memory are not the most intelligent.
The memory is more developed among
the peasantry than among citizens. and
among the clergy than among the laity.
The memory remains intact i'll dis
eases of the left side of the brain, and is
much affected in those of the right, from
which it may be inferred that the right
side Is more the seat of this faculty than
the left. From physiological point of
view memory is diminished by overfeed-
ing, by physical exercise, and by edu-
cation, i'll this sense, that the il iterate
have potentially more memory than
those who know how to read and write.
We remember, moreover, better III the
morning than in the evening, and in the
summer than in the winter, and better
in warm than in cold climates Mem
DRY is, therefore, to n certain extent i'll
inverse proportion to nutrition,
and, more than that, it Is in inverse
proportion to evolution, since 1t is great
est in those persons who are the least
advanced from an evolution point of
view-inferior races, women, children,
the feeble, etc. In short, according to
NJ. Delaunay, there is an evolution of
the memory, which is first sensorial,
literal, and then intelligent but MEM
DRY, properly speaking, di FINISHES in
versely as the evolution. -Ncdicot Press
