DR.. Hall, in the February number OF
his Journal of Health, says:


One of the very worst economics of the
time is that filched from necessary sleep.
The wholesale but blind commendation
of early rising, is as mischievous in prac-
tice as it is errant in theory. Early ris.
ing is a crime against the noblest part of
our physical nature, unless it is preceded
by an early retiring.


Multtudes of business men in large
cities count it saving of time if they
can make journey of hundred or two
miles at night by steamboat or railway.
1t is ruinous mistake. 1t never fails
to be followed by want of general well
feeling for several days after, if, indeed
the man does not return home actually

tention to his business for week after.

When man leaves home on business
it is always important he should have hi,
wits about him; that the mind should be
fresh and vigorous, the spirit lively, buoy

it is thus with him after a night on a
railroad car or on the shelf of steam
boat.


The first great recipe for sound, con.

LIEUTENANT LUFF.
All you that are too fond of wine,
Or any other stun,
Take warning by the dismal fate,
OF one Lieutenant Lulf.
A sober man he might have been,
Except in one regard;
He did not like sqf teater,
So he took to drinking hard.
Said he, "Let others fancy slops,
And talk In praise of tea,
But am no bohemian,
So do not like Bohea
If wines poison, so Is tea
But in another shape
What matter whether one Is killed,
by canister or grape1"

The danger of a war is just as i'm manen,
if South Carolina goes out alone as if she
goes in company with all the rest of the
slaveholding States. Perhaps it would be
nearer the mark 10 say that there would be
less danger OF war if the whole fifteen
Southern States went out together, than if
one OF them went alone. For if all of them
went together, there would be no slierna
tive but TO acknowledge Independence al
