A physician says the cry for rest has always
been louder than the cry for food. Not that it is
more important, but it is often harder to obtain.
The best rest comes from sound sleep. Of two
men or women, otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps the best will be the most moral, healthy
and efficient Sleep will do much to cure irrita-
biity Of temper, peevishness, uneasiness. 1t will
restore to vigor an oyer-worked brain. 1t will
build up and make strong a weak body. 1t will
cure broken spirit. 1t will cure sorrow. In
deed we might make long list of nervous and
other maladies that sleep will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires clean, good bed, sufficient
exercise to produce wearinessp pheasant occupation,
good air, and not too warm a room; clear con-
science, and avoidance of stimulants and mar
cotics. For those who are over-worked, haggard,
nervous, who pass sleepless nights, we commend
the adoption of such habits shall secure sleep;
otherwise life will be short, and what these is of
it sadly imperfect.

THE MORNING HERALD


THE MORNING HERALD
For 1884 will be the cheapest morning paper pub
ished in the city of Baltimore. 1t will also be
the best. While it will make specially of local
and State news, it claims the world for its field
and each issue of THE MORNING HERALD
will be complete and compact history of the
events of the previous day. The story will be
told entertainingiy, and while it will not be long
enough to tire you it will not be too short to be
interesting. 1t will be spicy but never vulgar 1t
will not pander to prurient tastes, but will be pre-
eminently paper for the business man and his
family. No man will be compelled to read THE
MORNING HERALD before taking it home, in
order to make sure that it contains no matter I'M
fit for the eye of women and children. It's editors
will save him that trouble by keeping these obec-
tionable features out of the paper altogether
THE MORNING HERALD will be. as in tho
past Republican in politics; it believes in the
protection of American labor and will earnestly
oppose any effort to abolish the tariff, which has
done so much to build up the industries Of our
country; it is under no obligations to any corpor-
alton its editorial columns are under no control
save that of its editor, and when THE MORN
ING HERALD has any opinion to express it
expresses it fearlessly and in language sufficiently
plain to be understood by everybody. THE
MORNING HERALD will be honest in politics
as in everything else and party fealty will not
prevent it from exposing any rascality or con-
demning any unwise and improper acts. THE
MORNING HERALD will appear about January
lst in complete new dress of type, which we be-
lieve will make it by long odds the handsomest
newspaper in Baltimore and as handsome as any
paper in the country.
THE SUNDAY HERALD
Is acknowledged even by its rivals to be the best
Sunday paper published in this city. special
cable letter from London, correspondence from
Paris, Washington and other great cities, well
selected miscellany, bright and entertaining
stories and plentiful supply of local and tele-
graph news are few of the features that make
its eight rich storehouse of the best reading
THE WEEKLY HERALD
published every friday an eight-page paper,
chronicles all domestic and foreign events of i'm
portance occurring during the week, well selected
miscellany, hints to the farmer and housekeeper
devoting an entire page to financial and CONNER
cial reports-in fact, it contains all the news es-
sential to all who not in the habit of reading
a daily paper.

A LEAP-YEAR DILEMMA.
Miss Jennie is q winsome girl,


Miss Jennie is winsome girl,
The fairest lass of many;
And would be heartless churl
Did I not love Miss Jennie.
But when into my listening ear
Her tide of passion gushes,
screen and run away, for fear
She'll see my tell-tale bushes.
Miss Susie Is so sweet and mild,
And loves me, oh so dearly,
1 can't reject the little child
'Twould drive her crazy, nearly,
But as she hangs upon the gate
And sings hef hopeless sorrow,
murmur: at is getting late,
Please come around tomorrow"
And there is rosy, romping Belle
And there is proud Ophelia-
And pensive, lofty minded Nell,
And prattling little Della;
And I am wooed by Eloise,
And courted, too, by Jessie,
While Maggie falls upon her knees,
And ditto charming Bessie.
There's still another-homely she
The gaunt, uncouth Eliza
When first she came a-wooing me,
Oh, how I did despise her
But as she fondly fingered near
There fell, like dripping, honey
This sweet assurance on my ear
She had heap of money!
So, though sigh for Jennie's curis,
And Della so impassioned,
And banker for the other girls,
So sweetly, grandly, fashioned,
1t seems decreed that should part
From all these charming witches,
And sacrifice my manly heart
To gaunt ELIAS riches!
