SLEEP.

Men, women, and children require just bo much sleep, and, if they do not have it, suffer in consequence. Ido not think a person should bo waked in the morning, and for this, reason : When * man . falls asleep he is in the shqp for repairs, as the railroad men say, f?is frame and all its intricate machinery is being overhauled and made ready for the next day's work. The wear of the previous

day is being repair* d. Nature is dointj that herself k She m>ws vvijat thy tired franW need*, jnst its she knows linw to mike i o heart t.irob »n«l send the hlood coursing Jbhrough the veins* Then* she takes that tired frame, lays it down on * bed, surrounds it with ' tlio refreshing air of .night, cpyere/l ,with t^lie soft darkness, and lets the man rest. « " Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy, sleep/,' visits him, and as the hours wear by his energies are renewed, his strength comes back, and finally, when morning breaks and the sun steals through the lattice, he opens his eyes and is himself again ; or if he is early to bed, he wakes with the cock's crowing. Now, who shall go to that man's side an hour before he opens his eyes and say to nature, "Stand aside and let m« srot him ; he 'irts iitid (Minij'ih r» i st." " Well." nature wjjls.y, 4l youcan take hint ii you will, Out 1 will clin.-jftMiiiM witiian.Hinr'slossof slcvp, and I'll ('(jllrrt it owl of 'us I>r»ne3 and nerves, and his hair unl nycsight.
