HOW POSITION AFFECTS SLEEP.

According to an English physician DR..
Granville, the position affects sleep. y
constrained posture generally prevents
repoSe, while a comfortable one wooS
sleep. lie says: Lying fiat on the back,
with the limbs relaxed, would seem to
secure the greatest amount of rest for
the muscular system. This is the posi-
ton assumed in the most eXhausting dis
eases. and it is generally hailed as a
token of revival when a patient volun-
tarily turns on the side; but there are
several disadvantages i'll the snpine pos
ture which impair or embarrass sleep.
Thus, in weakly states of the heart and
blood vessels, and certain morbid condi-
lions of the brain. the blood seems to
rravitate to the back of the head. and to
produce troublesome dreams. In per-
sons who habitually, in their gait or
work. stoop. there is probably some dis
tress consequent on Strengthening the
spine. Those who have contracted chests,
especially persons who have had pleurisy
and retain adhesions of the lungs, do not
sleep well on the back. Nearly all who
are inclined to snore do so when in that
position. because the soft palate and
uvula hang on the tongue, and that or
gan falls back so rs to partial closely the
top of the windpipe. 1t is better to lie on
the side. and in the absence of special
diseases, rendering it desirable to lie
on the weak side, so as to leave the
healthy lung free to expand, it is well to

choose the right side, because when the
body is thus placed, the food gravitates
more easily out of the stomach into the
intestines, and the weight of the liver
does not compress the upper portion OF
the intestines. A glance at any plate q
the visceral anatomy will show how tnia
must be. Many persons are deaf in one
ear, and prefer to lie on a particular side;
but if possible, the right side should be
chosen. Again, sleeping with the arm
thrown over the head is to be deprecated:
but this position is often assumed during
sleep, because circulation is then free in
the extremities and the head and neck,
and the muscles of the chest are drawn
up and fixed by the shoulders, and thus
the expansion of the thOraX is easy. The
chief objections to this position are that
it creates tendency to cramp and cold
in the arms, and sometimes to cause head
aches during sleep and dreams. These
small matters often make or mar comfort
i'll sleeping.

seized with violent attack of ague,
which kept him at home all Winter and
in bed most of the time. All his Sum-
mer's earnings went for doctors bills and
medicines. When he recovered, his
mother, who never approved his canal
adventure, dissuaded him from carry out
his project of shipping on the lakes. To
master one passion she stimulated an
other-that of study. She brought to
her help the district school teacher, an
excellent, thoughtful man named Samuel
ID. Bates, who fired the boys mind with
a desire for good education, and doubt
less changed the course of his life. He
went to the Geanga Academy at Chester,
Il village a few miles distant, with SIT
given him by his mother, and began a
new career.
During the boyhood period above de-
scribed, Garfield had no political impress
sions. He remembers attending but one
political meeting; that was in the Harri-
son campaign. Nor did he experience
any deep religious emotions. He went
regularly when at home to the Disciples
meetings, first at Bentleyville and later
at the school house near his home, where
his Uncle Boynton had organized con-
gresation. There was no Sunday school
in the neighborhood. The polemics of
religion interested him deeply at that
time, but his heart was not touched. He
was familiar with Bible texts, and was
often formidable disputant. One day,
when about fifteen, he was digging pota-
toes for farmer and carrying them in a
basket from the patch to the cellar
Near the cellar door sat a neighbor talk
ing to the farmers grown-up daughter
about the merits of the sprinkling and
! immersion controversy. and arguing that
sprinkling was baptism within the mean
ing of the Scriptures. James overheard
him say that a drop was as good as a
fountain. He stopped on his way to the
field and began to quote this text from
Hebrews: g Let lis draw near with Il true
heart in full assurance of faith. having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil con-
science "Ah, you see,' said the man,
sit says 'sprinkled.' "Wait for the
rest of the text replied james" and
our bodies washed with pure water.r
Now how can you wash your body in y
drop of water?' Without waiting for
4 reply, he fastened off to the potato
field.
lie repulsed all efforts to persuade him
to join the church, and when pressed
hard stayed away from meetings for
several Sundays. Apparently he wanted
full freedom to reach conclusions about
religion by his own mental processes
1t was not until he was eighteen and had
been two terms at the Chester school
that he joined his uncles congregation.
He was baptized in March, 1850, in
little stream putting into the Chagrin
river. His conversion was accomplished
bya quiet, sweet-tempered man who held
series of meetings in the school house
near the Garfield homestead and told in
the plainest and most straightforward
manner the story of the Gospel. A pre-
vious perusal of Pollock's "Course of
Time y had made a deep impression upon
him and turned his thoughts to religious
subjects. E.y.s.

THE GUSHING WOMAN.

The gushing woman is Il ubiquitous
parsonage; her presence is 4 feature of
almost every community from Cape
Colony to kamchatka; we may find her
i'll transports over the ruins of Thebcs,
going into ecstasies at Pompeii, enrapt-
ured over an old master or a young Apollo
over Il Grecian urn or Partisan bonnet,
over cracked tea-cup or the cut of
panier. A baby sends her into paroxysms
of enthusiasm, SO does the last novel by
an acknowledged genius; she dotes upon
poetry, and PIRATES about Bach and Bee
thoven rs if they had been her school
mates. In the mean time she is not
altogether without diScretion: she knows
on which side her bread is buttered, and
guShes to suit the occasion, while she
pushes herself into favorable positions,
into distinguished intimacies, by her per-
sistent ef1usiveness. To be sure. there
is the woman who gushes by nature, in
spite of herself and everybody else.
whose spontaneity is us irrepreSsible as
Traddles's hair, who would find some
thing to be eager and interested about in
dungeon cell. or subjects to excite
vivacity in the bottomlcss pit; and there
is her sister who is grandiloquent by art
because enthusiasm has proved becoming
in another, preserves an air of youth and
righteousness about one; she altitude
mizes mentally for the benefit of her
audience, because the poStureS take her
fancy. are striking and popular and APP
plauded.
At first acquaintance, one is, perhaps,
made captive by her vivacity; but famil-
| iarity breeds contempt; she becomes youl
| bosom friend in the space of morning
call. if you are worth cultivating, and
she writes love letters to you, if you are
one whom others delight to honor, one
in whose society it is distinction to be
found. She confides her biography to
whomsoever will listen. and, seen through
her spectacles, it is usually quite Il re-
markable one. "A primrose by the riv-
er's brm is great deal more to hel
than Il yellow primrose merely: it is al
opportunity to marshal her adiectives
and to order up her battalion of SMILES

And rags me into wretchedncss;
