\ RRAVE RESOLUTION.

When an innocent young girl is betrayed
by ruilian under promise of marriage
her relatives usually consider that it is a
great gain when he is forced to marry her
in the Magistrate S dock, by way of hush
ing up matters. 1t sometimes happens
that the girls good name is saved at the
expense of her lifelong degradation and
punishment in being joined to such a
PARTNER. 4 recent ease before Judge Lud-
low showed Drawer resolution ON the part
Of the ehild's parents for no girl OF thlr-
teen should be sacrificed in marriage to n
convict who is punishable by the law for
running her. She need not remain ruined,
vet such u mockery of the sacred cere-
mony would ensure that fate. To be let off
from two years sentence of imprison-
ment, naturally this young Barrett was
anxious To become married man, but the
parents Of the little girl preferred that he,

TAKE PLENTY OF SLEEP.

There is an old saying that has frishten
cd great many people from taking the
rest that nature demanded for them, mine
hours are enough for fool. They may
be: and not too many for a wise man who
feels that he needs them. Goethe, when
performing his most prodigious literary
feats felt that he needed nine hours; what
is better. he took them We presume it is
conceded by all Thoughtful persons that the
brain in very young children, say three or
four years Of age, requires all of twelve
hours in rest, or sleep. This period is
shortened gradually until. at fourteen years
of age, the boy is found to need only ten
hours. When fall grown and in healthy
condition the man may find night of eight
hours sufficient to repair the exhaustion of
the day and new-cTeate him for the NOR

more sleep he should take it. There is

and until it has, aud he can spring to his
work with an exhilaration for il. he should
sensibly conclude to let his instinct control
him, and stay in bed Good Housekeeping
