"LATE HOURS."
It is a mistake to both rise early and take rest late.., The - rising early is good as a habit of'life,, if it does noti mean robbing nature of her opportunity to recruit the exhausted strength of brain and body by prolonging sleep when that necessary luxury is- at length enjoyed. There would appear to be some need of remonstrance on this, score. The fashion of the day' farours early rising and the manly " : tub;" but those who rise early hare, for'the most part, sat up prodigiously late, and the tub is chiefly appreciated - because it rouses the system, and makes it feel—and feelings are very deceptirel— . strong and rigorous. This is burning the candle.at both ends. If we must sit up < half the night,* it would be better to sleep half-'the day than to rise betimes and go in for arduous labour after insufficient rest. 1 Early rising is not good, but harmful, without early resting.—The Lancet.
