THE ART OF RESTING.

Very few people, and women least of all, really know how to rest. And :he best of us. be wc ever so healthy and ever so young, cannot afford to So without it. Be the tune lively, ->e the tune long, yet undoubtedly it ringeth sooner or later to some kind of breakdown if we continue to rise up early and so late take rest. There are plenty of people who will tell you they never feel tired, who can keep on working or taking pleasure with scarcely any intermission. They will tell you they do not need as much sleep, as much repose, as other folk. And perhaps they really get more rest than others who elaborately plan hours of idleness. Rest is a habit. Some people can shelve their worries, change the current of their thoughts, and absolutely empty their minds at will, just as they can sit down and relax every muscle as if they had pulled a lever Dr let go a switch. are those that really rest. The people who know not rest arc those who 101 l about and take sleep anywhere, with their minds at work all the time and every nerve "'at attention." There are shoals of women of this pattern, but if they only would believe they need not "bury themselves alive" or give up gaiety in order to give their mind and body relaxation. You can positively obtain rest amid noise and with "business carried on as usual" if you only go the right way about it. —"Ambrosia," in the "World."
