There, are thousands of busy people
''vho'die every year for want of sleep.
It may be .that too, much. sleep injures
same; but
in an excitable people, and
in Our intense, business habits there is
far More mischief for the want of sleep
than - frorn too much of it. Sleepless
neg.% becomes a disease. It is the pre
cursor of Insanity. When it does not
reach to that Alad result, it is still full
of peril, as Well as Suffering. -Thou
sands of men have been 'indebted for
bad bargains, for lack of courage, for
ineffeetiveuess,,td loss of sleep.
It is curious that ell the popular pot
etical representations, of sleeping and
waking are the roziverAo of the truth.-;
We speak of sleep E),lti the image of death,
and of .our waking hoUrs as the linage
of life. -- But all activity is the result of
some form of decorcipasition in the
body,Every thought, still more, every
,
emotion, every . - kolition wastes , some
part of the, nervous
_substance, precise
ly us thine is produced by wasting file
tua. It is death to some Part of the
Physical Substance that produces the
phenorriena of intelligent and vokn
tary•life.
Pla, , the 'other, hand, sleep is not like
death ;. for it is the period in 'which the
waste, of.,the, system. ceases, or is' re
duced t 0.40, minimum: Bleep repairs
the ;waste which walfing hours IfdVe
made, 'lt rebuilds the system. The
is the repairshop,pt thehody.—
gAietY part of ' aystern, is silently
Overhauled, and all the 'organs; tissues,.
and substances are replenished. Wak
ing consumes,' sleep replaces; waking,
exhausts, sleep repairs ; Waking is
death, sleep is life. -
The-,man• who' sleeps little, repairs
little; if he sleeps poorly, he 'repairs
poorly. It he uses up, in the day less
than he accumulates at' night, he will
gain in health, and vigor. If he . uses'
up all that he gains at night, he- will
just hold his - ,own.
_lf he uses more by
day than he' gathers at night, he will
lose: And if tills last process be long.
continued, ho must succumb. A. man
who would be a•good worker must see
. to itgliat he is a'good sleeper. Human
'life is like a mill ; sometimes the stream
'is so. copious Witt. one need:card but, lit
tle about the supply. Now, often, the
stream that turns the mill needs to be
economized. A dam is built to hold - . 4
large'supply. The mill runs the pomf
'pretty low through the day, but by
shutting doWn the gate; the night re
tills the pond, and the wheels go mer
rily around I ngain the next day. Once
in a while,'when spring rains are co
.nious- and.. freshets overflow, the mill
may run night tuna nay; nut
rare. Ordinarily the mill should run
by .day, and the pond fill up by night.
A man ,has as much force in him as
he has provided, for by sleep. The
quality of action, especially mental ac
tivity, depends upon the quality of
sleep. If' day-time is the loom in
which men weave their purposes, night
is time time when the threads are laid
in and the filling prepared.
Men need onap average eight bottle
of sleep a day, or one-third Of - their
whole time. -• A man of lymphatic
temperament may require nine. A
nervous temperament may require but
seven, or six, and instances have been
known in which four hours have been
enough. The reason is plain. A lym
phatic man is sluggish in all his func
tions. • , kie moves slowly, thinks slow
ly, digests slowly, and eleepS sloWly ;
that,lsotit the restorative acts of his
:system' 0 au slowly, in analogy with
his temperament. But a nervous man
acts quickly in everything, by night or
day. When awake, - he does more in
au hour-than a sluggish man in two
.hours; and soluble sleep. He sleeps
faster, and, his, system nimbly repairs
fu six hours what it would take anoth
er
,onepight hours to perform. '
.Every,trman must sleep according to
his iemperament., , But eight lours is
'the average. If one; requires • a lithe
more or a little less, he will find it put
himself. Whoever by work, pleasure,
sorrow, or by any. other cause, is regu
larly diminishing his sleep, is deStroy
lag his life, •A man may hold out for a
time, but Nature keeps close 'accounts,
and no man can dodge her settlements.
We have. seen impoverished railroads
that, could not keep the track in order,
nor spare the- engines to •be thoroughly
reppired. EVery year, track and equip
ment deteriorated. BY and by.comes
_erash, and the road is in a,heap of con
fusion and destruction . So it is -with
men. They cannot spare time to sleep
enough. They slowly; run behind.--
Symptoms of general waste appear.—
Premature wrinkles, weak, eyes,' do
,pression of spirits, failure of digeStion,
feebleness in the morning, and over
whelming melancholy—these and oth
er signs show, a general dilapidation.—

discouraged by such associations, and
honesty deterred by such dangers, the
civil service sinks steadily into deeper
discredit. No wonder, when COngress
