Perhaps there is no question upon which
doctors more do disagree than the question
of early rising. Some say, do it, and some
say, don't and most people don't. A writer
In the Sunday. school Times puts the matter
into about as sensible a shape Us we rehem-
Der to have seen
Early rising, he says, is sometimes good
thing, and then again it isn't. 1t depends
very much on what your business is and
what is your temperament. IL you are II
newspaper carrier or milkman, or II you
are factory hand or II farmer you will have
to get up early SO you will If you live in
the country and must take an eaily train into
town; there is no doubt about your duty in
such case. And If you are cold.blooded
man, with no nerves, you can as well get up
as lie abed in the morning. But If you are a
person of nervous organization, OF hot blood;
II you are inclined to keep ut work as long as
you are awake, aud can find rest only when
you are asleep especially ii your work Is
brain work, and you choose your hours for
it, 1t may be that carly rising would be gross
llnpTuucuCt OH NOui pait. piohg :" Sh'"
who needs sleep IN the morning Is persistent
" started out of bed by its parents. to its
permanent detriment of body and mind.
And again many parent who needs sleep in
the morning is persistcntly started out OF bed
by its carly rising child, to the parents dis
comfort and the detriment of both parent
and child. To 'rise with the lark and lie
down with the lamb is unquestonably a
good rule for the lower order of creation !;
but some of us are very different from both
larks and lambs, and need different hours of
getting up and lying down. The best thing
for each of us to do Is to do the best thing
for each of us, whatever that may be, and
not to let lambs aud larks settle the rule for
us severaly.
What strange thing acquaintance is !!
People whom we never saw before, and
probably will never see again, flash across
the horizon of our lives, like comets-or,
fleeter still, like falling stars-eye meets eye,
hand touches hand, there is a moments, OF a
days, or years intercourse then we drift
apart, forever, perhaps who knows? Yet
who has not felt sort of suppressed glad
ness mingling with the sorrow of earthly rep
aration, and wondered ut it, and been
troubled by it We feel ashamed Of that
secret bound Of the heart, as we take our
friends hand in ours, aud say goodbye.
But why should we: We know that it is
not a gladness which comes from the fact OF
separation itself for that we are truly and
deeply sad. rather Jet us believe that ii is
blessed assurance that, sometime, some.
where, this poor, bewildering, uncertain
mystery of earthly friendship will be solved
for us that we snail meet again. eye to eye
heart to heart, with this veil of reticenct
| torn away, meet in better land, where dis
lance shall not separate nor time destroy
the affections which have had their begin
ming here upon earth.
When temperance paper does publish ar
original prohibitory poem, it is sure to be Of
the very first water. We have searched pa
tiently and oft for little gem OF tho kind

like, but we n.ver found it till the other day
Here it is-bricf but beautiful:
Little drops OF claret,
Now and then at first,
Forms an awful hahit,

Puzzles of propinquity are the hardest c
all to solve. If the day should not be to

please exercise your wits on the following
and see If ii shines luminous with convictio

1.-THE child is father to the man. Hent
the child would be paternal grandfather
the mans child. But the latter child bciu
also father to the man, would be, therefor,
his own paternal grandfather. Hence tn
latter child would have two pa,ernal grant
father, both children, of which he himse
was one. Now. this rule being universal, Ii
other child would be likewise his own CRANE
fathers, and hence great great grandfather ,
the before mentioned child. But these tw
| children were each father 10 the man, stat
OF affairs which can be accounted for only o
the ground that one Of them was step-fatl
er. That is, they both married the sam
| wife. II is presumable that the one who VIZ
| great great grandfather Of the other marie
her frst, for II not. the other would have ma
ried one of his direct female ancestors befor
she was married. This borders on the in
probable. 1t is, then, only left to sssum
that the child married his great-great. grant
mother after the death Of his grcat-grea
grandfather. This brings us toa ccncusio
far more startling than that of Mr.. Word
worth, viz; The child is step-great-grea
grandfather to himself. So was it when Il
world began2 II so, this is a convincing a
gument on the side OF evolution.
