There is no fact more clearly estab-

this: that the brain expends its energies
and itself during the hours of wakeful-
ness, and that these are recuperated du-
ring sleep; if the recuperation does not
equal the expenditure, the brain with

in early English history persons who
were condemned to death by being pre-
vented from sleeping, always died raw
ing maniacs. Thus it is also that those
who are starved to death become insane
the brain is not nOuTished and they can
not sleep. The practical differences are
three: l. Those who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep. 3
That time saved" from necessary sleep
is infallibly destructive to mind, body
and estate. 3. Give yourself, your chill

they will take by compelling them to go
go bed at some regular, early hour, and
to rise in the morning the moment they
awake of themselves, and within fort
night nature, with almost the regularity
of the rising sun, will unloose the bonds
of sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the sys-

POETRY.
The Bugle.
n. the line is long.

The air is keen, the line is long,
The quick aduance rings clear and strong,
The Zouave column chants the prayer
The solemn wood that crowns the hill
Looks downs and listens, silent, still
And Prussians wait us there.
Our Bugle is battle bird,
That ain of many fight has heard
Midst shot and smoke and fire and flame
He fits fhe wheels with cheerful call,
To rally round when comrades fall
Brave bird no foe can tame.
Another orderl hark the tone!
Oh, never bolder bird was known.
'Tis death or glory" once again:
Your breath of passion stirs the soul,
And courage rises to the goal,
Where foes too long have lain.
We charge at double, shout and climb
To where the bullets bide their time.
Ali now the Prussian sniders speak
We close in ranks, and now the cry
Advance with bayOnet, do or die!
The wood is gained with Zouave sbriek
A rush, pause-our Bugle struck!
A moment only-ZOuave pluck
Gives never in to aught but death.
Then, sounding high mid strife and cheer,
UnconQuered notes, and always near,
The bugle breathes its passion breath.
And though with breath the red blood
glows,
Yet blast on blast the bugle blows;
His hand clenched round with iron will,
He puts off death some PAGES yet,
And pressing back each foeman met,
The brave old Bugle leads US still.
Ali there upon the turf at last
He lies, but still the bugle blast
Rings shrill from blood-stained lips
that press
Disdaining. stretched on CORY ground.
Guarding his Bugle-still the sound
Wells forth, and urges none the less!
And now, upon his elbow leant,
He sees the Zouaves backward bent
On ground where all bis blood has run.
Then-not till then-the Bugle stops;
His task is done-he bends, he drops;
Defeat in death-death nobly won.
From the French Of Deroulede.

THE INDEPENDENT T seeks the patron
i age of the public on three grounds, as
follows:
1st. 1t is the largest weely religious news
paper published in the world.
2nd. 1t employs as contributors more able
writers, at home and abroad, than any other
weekly newspaper.
3rd. 1t gives its readers a wider range Of
topics and more and fuller departments than
they can find elsewhere in any journal.
The Independent consists of 30 pages, neat
ly cut and pasted. Ii is printed from clear
type 1--WE stereotype the pages weekly, and
hence, every issue is really printed with new
typel and on good paper, and mechanically
I it is uneXceied.
There is no question of prominence in re-
ligion, politics. science, education, finance or
any other department of human knowledge
which the Independent does not discuss. 1t
has regular departments devoted to Biblical
Research. Missions. Religious Intelligence,
Book Reviews and Literary News, the Sun
day School, Education, Science, Sanitary
question, Fine Arts, the movements of Min
isters, Personalities, News of the Week,
Financial and Commercial matters, including
Weekly Prices Current, Market Reports,
Cattle Market, Dry Goods Quotations, Flow
ers and Farming, and Insurance. In its re-
ligious department it gives news and statistics
of all denominations of Christians, everys
where In fullness, accuracy, and cOnpre-
hensiveness this department is unequaled.
Several pages of stories and poems adapted
to Old and Young are given every week, with
a column of Puzzles.
From time to time Sermons by eminent
ministers are published. The current topics
of the day are discussed in our editorial
columns freely and vigorously. We are not
afraid TO state our Opiulods.
