Ine, "TIim sleop of a laboring iniiii is

ttrfHii the two constnttlos that nlht Iip
forn bis expected assassination. Christ
was asleep In n boat on Onlilee when
tossed In the eiiruclydon. The nnntincln
lion wih made to Joseph In sleep, nnd
death Is described ns only n sleep and the
resiiirei-ll.m as ti glorious wakening out ot
sleep.
On the oilier band, Insomnia or sloep
lessliess Is an old disorder spoken of uriiIii
mid again In Ihe llihlc. Ahasusriis suf
fered from If. and w rend, "In that night
could not tho king sleep," Joseph Hall
said ol Hint ruler, "lit that could com
mand bun lied nnd seven and twenty
provinces could not command slcon''
Nebui!hndue.7.nr bad Insomnia, nud thn
record I", "His sleep brnko I rom hhn."
Holomou describes I'.ils tnjr.ble and snys,
"Neither day nor night seeth lie sleep
with his eyes'." Asaph was Its victim, lor
lie romplnliis in my text that bis eyes are
open nt midnight. Home mysterious power
keeping the upper and lower lids from
joining, "I'hou boldest mine eyes wak
ing." Of eoursn tlirra Is mi uprlgliteoiis simp,
ns when Jonah, trying to escape from
duty, slept In the sides of the ship Wiillo
the Mediterranean was In wrath Im.'"miio
of that prophetic passenger; as when
Columbus iu his Hist voyage, exhausted
from being up many nights, gave tlm ship
In charge of Hie steersman and the crew,
who, If living the management of the ves
si.l to boys, went to sleep and allowed I he
hip to strike on the Mind blinks of St.
Thomas; as when thn aeuttuel goes t )
sleep nt his post, endangering the whole
niniy; as when tne sluggard, who necom
pltshe nothing the day lie fore he went to
sleep nud will accomplish nothing the day
niter ho wakes, tills up Holumou's picture
of hlm ns lie yawns out, "A little sloop mid
n little slumber nnd n little folding of tho
bnnils to sleep." but sleep nt the right
timo aud ami t thn right ctrciitnstnuc.is,
can you Imagine iiuythlug more blesse l
1 1 sleep, according to sacred aud profane
literature, Is nn emblem of doatli, tho
morning to nil refreshed slittnberors Is
it resurrection,
ltemnrlc the Ural: It you have escapol
the Insomnia spoken of In the text, tliuuk
tiod. Hero and tl.sro one can command
sleep, nnd It comes the minute lie orders It
nud departs at tho minute he wishes It to
go, as Napolaoii when lie wrote: "Different
altars are arranged in my bod us in draw
ers. When I wish to Interrupt one train nf
thought I close the drawer which contains
that subject and open thaC which contains
another. They do not mix together or in
convenience me. I have uov r been kepi
awake by an involuntary preoccupation uf
mind. When 1 wish for repose I shut up
nil Ihe drawers, nud I am n"leop. I have
ulwnys slept when I wanted rest, and al
most tit will," Hut I think In most cases
we feel that sleep Is not the result of a res
olution, but a direct gilt from. God. You
cannot purchase It. A great French llnau
cler cried out, "Alas, why Is there no sleep
to be sold?"
Itumark tho second: Consider ninnitg thn
worst crimes the robbery of ourselves or
others of tills mercy ot slumber. Mu"h
ruinous doctrine lias been Inculcated on
this subject. Thomas Moore gave poor ad
vice when ho said, "The best way to
longtlicu our days is to steal n few hours
from the night." We nre told thai, though
they did their work at night. Copurnlcos
lived to be scveuty-throo years of age, and
Galilei seventy-eight years, nud Hvrschi'l
eighty-four years. Yes. but tho reason was
they were all star hunter.'', and the only
time for hunting stars Is nt night. Prob
ably they slept by day. The night was
made for clumber. The worst lump n stu
dent cum have Is "the midnight lamp '
Lord llroughnoi never pnssed morn than
four hours of the night ubed, nnd Justinian,
after one hour ot sleep, would rise from
lila couch. Hut you are neither n Justinian
nor u Lord Brougham. Let. not the absurd
apotheosis of early rising Induce you In
tho abbreviation of sleep, (let up when
you nre slept oul miles circumstances
compel otherwise. Have no alarm clock
Ihaklng Its nerve tearing racket nt I
o'clock in thn mori.lng, unless special rea
sons demand the forsaking ot your pillow
nt that hour. Mont (if the theories about
early rising wo Inherited from times whn.i
people retired nt H or 9 o'clock in the oven .
Ing. Nueli early retirement is Impossible
iu our owti times for thogo who am taking
fiart Iu the great activities ot lite. There
s no virtue in the more net of early rising.
It all Cuponds upon what you do utter you
gtt up. it would he better for ttio world It
liOine people never wakened at all. '
ltemark the third: All those ought In l r
comtcrted vho by overwork Iu right diree.
lious have unrao to iusoiuuia. In all occu
pations aud professions there are I linos
wlic.i ii speclul draft Is mil do upon Ihe tier.
von.i eueigy. There are thousands of mini
ant', wouieu wlio cannot sleep because lliey
were Injured by overwork In soino time nt
lo.nestle or political or religious exigency.
M. .thers who, after taking n whole family
of children through the disorders that am
sere to strike tho nursery, have been lelt
p lyslcal wrecks, and one entire night ot
slumber Is to tliom a rarity, II not an im
possibility. The attorney nt law, who,
through a long trlnt In poorly ventilated
courtroom, has stood for weeks battling
for thn rights ot widows nud orphans or
lor the Hie ot a client In whoso Innocence
lie Is confident, though all the circum
stances lire unfavorable, lu his room he
tries the ease all night long and every uight
when he would like to be slumbering. 'I'll i
physician, In lime of epidemic, worn out Iu
saving the lives ot whole families and fail
ing In his ntloiiipts to sleep at night be
tween the janghngs uf his doorbell Tint
merchant who Ihih experienced panics,
when the banks went down and Wall street
became a pandemonium mid there was a
possibility that the n.xl day liu would be
tienullcsn that uight with no more possl
itllty ot gaining sleep than If such a bless
ing had never touched our planet.
ltemark tho fourth: Insomnia Is no sign
of divine displeasure. Martin I.ulher had
distressing I isomnlii mid wrote, When 1
Wake up in the nigiit, the devil imiiiedl
ntely comes nud disputes with me nnd gives
me strange thoughts until at last I grow
enraged beyond eudurauce and give him
ill words." That coiiBecrulod cliamoloa
of everything good. Dr. Htephen II. Tyng,
Hr., In his autobiography says that theonly
euoourageuient ho had te think he would
sleep nt ulgbt w3 the not that he had uot
slept thn uight before.
Waketuluess may be an opportunity for
Prayer, opportunity for prolltable nilleo.
Hon, opportunity for kindling bright ex
pectatloniot the world, where thero is no
uight nnd where lumber will hve no
uses. Uod thinks just ns much ot you
when you get but three or four liourn of
sleep a whoa lit uight you gut eight 0
ulue hours.
Ilemnrli t!ii llttb: Lit nil InsomiisU
Kno for their oonolntlou that some
people un mora rapidly than otliers, us

hence do uot re luird us long :i tlinu In nn

temperaments ought not t ) expect n whole
night to do the work of recuperation whlcn

making It u matter ot irritation nnd alarm
he a Christian philosopher and set down
this abbreviation ot somnolcuceas n nintlvi
of temperament.
ltemark the sixth: The ago t Insomnlsls
should understand that It their eyes nre
held waking they do not require ns much
sleep ns once they did. Nolumon, who In
kuowledgo was thousands of yearn ahead
ot his time in Ills wondrous description ol
old age, recognizes tills fact. He not only
speaks of the difficulty of mastication on
the part of tho aged when ho says, "Tin
grinders cense because they nre low," and
ot the octogennrlan s caution in getting uf
n Indder ot standing on n scaffolding, sav
ing, They shall be afraid of that whl 'h'l.'
high," and speaks of tho whiteness of I Ik
hair by comparing It to ii tree that lia
white blossoms, saying, "The almond I ret
shall nourish, ' and speaks of the spine'
cord, which is the color of sliver, nndwhlct
relaxes In old ago, giving the tremor tc
tho hend, saying, "The silver cor'
bo loosed." Hut lie snys of lh
Aged, "He shall rise up nl tlm voice ol
the bird;" that Is about halt past i
iu the summer time, nn appropriate limit
for tho bird to rise, for ho goes to hit
nest or bough nt half past 7 In the evening
Hilt thn human mechanism lias been si
arrange, I that after It has been running v
good wlille u change lakes place, and In
stead of the almost perpetual sleep of tlm
babe and the nine hours requisite In mid
life six hours will do for the aged, nod "hr
shall rise up nt tae voice of the bird." l.el
all aged men nnd women remember thai
they have been permitted to do n great
deal of sleeping In their lime and that II
tliey do nc.t sleep so well now ns they used
to it Is because they do uot inquire so mucb
sleep,
ltemark the seventh: Insomnia Is proh
nbly n warning that you had bettc mod
erate your work. Most of those engaged
In employments that pull on nerve nud
brain urn tempted to omit necessary rest
nud sleeplessness calls n halt. F.von theii
pleasuring turns to work. As Sir Joshua
Iteynolds, the great painter, taking a walk
with n friend, mot a sun browned peasant
boy and said, "I must go home and deepen
the coloring of my infant Hercules." The
sun browned boy suggested nn im
provement iu ii great picture. I!y
Ihe time most people have reached
midlife, if they have behaved
well moro doors ot opportunity open be
fore them than they ought to enter.
Tower to decline, power to say "No,"
they should now colli vat". Wheii n man
Is detertnlued to be useful nnd sat an can
not dlssiiAdo him from that course, tlm
great deceiver induces hlm to ovenvorg
mid iu that way get rid ot hlm. We hnvi
thermometers to tell the heat, and barom
eters to tell the nlr, and orneteis hung In
engine rooms to tell the pressure uf steam,
nnd omuten to gau 'e nud measure almost
everything. Would that some genlu.
would Invent an mooter which, being hung
around the nn.'k nnd dropped over
heart nud lung, would by the pulsa
tion nnd respiration, toll whether one
Is under t io great pressure or might carry
more. All brain workers would want such
nn emitter mid want it right away. Fot
the lack ot il how many are dying nud how
riany have died ot overwork? A, prominent
llnauclor who recently departed this lire
was an oillcer In over 100 iliiiincinl and
charitable institutions. Thousands ot
editors, nt lawyers, ot physicians, ol
merchants, ot clergymen, are now dying
ot overwork. Do not no In the board ol
directors of moro than three banks and
two trust companies nud live life nud
lire Insurance establishments. Do not
us pastor preach more than three ser
mons n Sunday mid superintend yoilt
own Kabbath-scliool mid conduct a
Ilible class the siunc day. Do not edit
a paper and write for three inngn.lnus
and go to lour public dinners where you
will bo culled to make n speccli more than
four times a week. Do not go so deep in
to the real estate business that bedim
spring nil the real estate you will really
possess will be n piece of ground about six
feet long uml three feet wide. Your in
somnia Is the voice ot nature, the voice of
Clod, saying. "Hotter slow ns!" Ston thnl
long, swift tralu, the wheels ot which are
taking lire from the velocity and smoking
with tho hot box. Do not burn the candls
at both ends. Do uot under too many
burdens sweat like a camel trudging from
Aleppo to Damascus, no no: commit tub
clde.
IteinnrU the eighth: All tho victims o
Insomnia ought to be consoled with the
tact mat tney will nave a good, long sleep
lifter n while. Sacred nud prufaun litera
ture agnlu nnd again speak ot that last
sleep, (tod knew thnt the uuiniiu rac
would he disposed to make a great ado
about exit from this world, and so Ho In
spires Job nnd David and Daniel and Jonn
nud Paul to cull that condition "sleep."
Whoti at Bethany the brother who wan the
support of his sisters after their father aud
mother were goue had himself expired,
Christ cried nut iu regard to hlm.
"Ho Is not dead, but sleopoth." Cheer
ing thought to all poor sleepers, for
that will be ti pleasant sleep, in
ducod ty no narcotic, disturbed by no
irigntiui (iretiin, Interrupted by no harsh
sound. Better than any sluop you ever
took, u nuini ot liou, will be tho last deep.
Iu your slumbers your homo may be In
vaded by burglars nud your treasures car
ried o IT, but while hern mid there, lu one
case out ot millions, tho resurrectionist
may disturb tho pillow ot dust the last
sleep Is almost sure to bu kept from Inva
sion. There will be uo burglary of the tomb.
And It will be a refreshing sleep. You hnvo
sometimes rlseu in the morning more iveury
than when you laid down at night, but
waking from the sleep of which I speak
thn lust fatigue, the Inst ache, the last
worriment, will bo forever g our. Uh, what
ii refreshing sloop!
Ho my bearer, my reader, "(iood night!"
.May God give you such slo"p to-night ns

may Ho till your seal with reminiscence
nnd expectations that will bo belter than

41. "The rnssover." Thre were three

In April, the renteenst near tho llrst ot

October. All males over twelve years ot
n ge wcro required to attend these feasts
unless th',. hud n legitimate excuse. Thn
attendance of women was not required,
but had been recommended. Tho Passover
extended through n whole week, nnd was
of a most joyful character, iu commemora
tion of tlie departure of the llehrews from
the bind of Kgypt, nnd of the preservation
of their llrst-bom when tlm llrst-born ot

run destroying nugci "passed over ' the
Hebrews.
i'i. "Twelve years old." At the agent
twelve a Jewish boy became son of the
law," and came under the obligation of
obeying nil its precepts, Including attend
ance nt the Passover. It Is probable that
this was thn llrst time that Jesus had been
In Jerusalem nt tills feast.
4:1. "Had fulfilled thedavs." tight days
In all. one the Passover, and seven thodnvs
of unleavened bread, "Parried behind."
Luke neither tells us that Jesus remalno I
behind at Jerusalem unintentionally, nor
that Joseph and Mary lo.t sight of Hlm
through want of necessary care. A circum
stance must have been omitted; and we
may safely suppose that Joseph nud Mary
joined their older fellow-'ruvelcrs In the
persuasion that Jesus, will) Knew or tlm
time and place ot departure, was among
the youuger ones. The more Mary was
accustomed to trust to ms ooeiitence ami
wisdom, the less necessary would It bo al
ways to vrtitch Him. An Involuntary mis
take, ot whatever kind It might be, sepa
rated the Child from thn parents.
44. "Iu the company." I lie people trav
eled ill caravans. Jesus evidently had been
allowed a more than usual amount nt
liberty ot notion ns a Child by parents who
had never known Him to transgress their
commandments or be guilty ot a sinful or
fa iltsh deed.
415. "After three days." One dav for
their departure, one day for their return,
and one for the search. "In the temple. "
Probably In one ot tho porches ot the court
ot the women, where thn schools ot the
rnhbls were held. ".Sitting In the midst ot
the doctors." Teachers ot tho law, Jewish
rabbis. An Instructive incident, as show
ing how early the Lord began to display
tho Injuring and critical spirit which
afterwards bore such precious fruits ot
knowledge and wisdom. It appears there
were no less than threi: assemblies of the
doctors, who had apartments in thn
temple. In these it wus customary to pro
pose doubts concerning thn meaning ot
the precepts of the law, and the traditions
nt the elders, which was generally done by
wav of question.
47. "Astonished." The Greek word is
very forcible. Tlie import Is, that they
were iu n transport of nstonlshment, and
struck with admiration. "At Ills under
standing." He brought with Hon a clear
knowledge of 'iod's w rd in which, no
doubt. He had been versed from earliest
years. They never heard ono so young,
nor Indeed their greatest doctors, talk
sense nt the rate He did. He gave them a
tnste ot His divine wisdom aud knowl
edge, 4M. "Have sought TIipo sorrowing."
Ileltig not only troubled that we lost Thee,
but vexed nt ourselves for not Inking
more cure ot Thee. The word here rendered
sorrowing Is expressive of tho most rack
ing anguish.
41). "How Is It thut ye sought Me." This
Is nn reproaeliful question. It is asked In
all the simplicity nud boldness of holy
childhood. He Is apparently astonished
that Heshottld have been sought, or oven

Tkaciunos Josus was once a ohlld. sn
that He can be tha children's Saviour, hur
ing pnssod through nil their experiences aud
temptations, yet without sin. Children
should be early trained to nn Interest and
participation In the great religious move
ments nud meetings of their uhiirah. Pa
rents should kuow where their , hlldren are
and what they are dolug. Those who are
about their Father's business will delight to
go to their Father's house. Hre.it truths are
often uot fully understood a first, but,
kept iu tho heart, their true meaning nod

pleasing to Qod aud attractive tt men.
Tlie First Steps.
Before encouraging children to use
their feet we nhould look to their
actual strength, not docldlng how far
they should be urged to waU by the
actual number of months they have
lived. If a young child once acquires
tho art of crawling, It will soon do
more, and try to use its legs. It will
soon raise Itself by the support ot a
chair or stool, will then totter up from
one side of It to the other, huldlng It
self up, and by repeated exercises ot
this kind, the limbs will gain the re
quisite power, and tho Infant will gain
courage to trust to that power; then
to walk alone. However, In beginning
to walk a child must have some assist
ance. ThU should be given by hold
ing It firmly under, not by the arm.
