VALUE OF SLEEP.
Hints to Young Men on Vital Subject
from DIR. CoIIyer.

Hints to Young Men a Vital Subject
from DIR. CoIlyer.
! Nothing is more disregarded by many
young men of to-day than the necessity
of seasonable sleep; yet nothing is more
essential to good health and long life.
Robert Collyer, in his Talks to Young
Men" devotes an exceedingly interest
ing chapter to the subject, and the fol-
lowing are his closing remarks.
Now. let me draw few simple les
sons from this truth l have tried to
open. You, young men, must remem-
Der that one grand factor in your well
being and well doing will lie in a good
sound sleep. You may think it does
not matter; take my word for 1.-THE
word of man who has had to walk
through rugged ways to his three-score
years and three-that it does matter g
great deal.
Your sleep is the hidden treasure of
your youth to-day, and tomorrow it
will be the margin you will have to
draw on for your age. Do you think
you can racket round into the small
hours, snatch brief repose, and then
be just as good as ever to hold and
bind? it is not true. Many a young
man sells his birthrightin this way, and
can not have it back again, though he
seek it with many tears. Take YOUR
honest eight hours sleep, if you may;
there is life in it and grace. 1t is one
NJ the good angels which will save YOU
from the temptation to drink, give you
an even mind, brighten all your powers,
and do many things for you no other
power can do.
So when you get farther on. and are
in the thick of the worlds business. do
not forget what virtue lies in this good
habit. You may make more money by
sitting up nights, but the chances are
you will not keep it; carve out good
business, and then have to quit; or
grow eminent in your profession, and
then break down. Good fortune turns
greatly on good habits, and this is one
of the best. We can go just so far and

and on God for new power. But if we
say, 81 will work double tides" and so
get fevered and out of tune with the
true laws of success in life, then the
day comes when our power turns to
something like paralysis. Your true
business or professional man is the man
who rises well rested, with a COOL clear
brain and steady nerve-the man who
can shake off business after business
hours, go to sleep like yearling child,
and rise like the sun, rejoicing as a
strong man to run race.
And it is a great mistake in good men
to say this is shameful waste OF time,
when it may be and so oftenis is, the best
possible use of time; or that we should
be at our work or our prayers, while
still we need this on which the worth
of the work or the prayer is to turn.
say, that to sleep one hour more in
such 3 case is better than either to
labor or pray, and may bring us nearer
\ both to God and ma1.-N. Y Voice.

to exhibit the most profound disregard
for the feelings of others, and by an in

himself in every sense as u superior be-

own estimation he is too highly bred
and too refined to support the incon-

are endured by others. His organize
ton is too sensitive and finely strung
to tolerate small domestic troubles. He,
if any thing, is only too generous and
virtuous; he feels compassion for him
