He maintains that t&ejjilfl feeling after tho midnight hourmffl is highly stimulating to tho ittajMfl tiv© onind, and it is then that tNttH thoughts of our great men hstCU produced—thoughts which will WjlmH ed to the human.mind for.'MfcaH There certainly scorns (saytV|rjfl change) to be no reason, for *BJ*mjM bear the burden and heat of when that burden oan be made wrtiH lighter by working in the cool m .§■ night.
