The Early Rising Pag,11. • Early rising has been inculcated as a tvlioleeonle practice from time imme- morial. and to tbo.se who can contrive to get to bed also in good time is unob- jectionable In every Way; but, On the other hand, if the employment is of such a nature as to prevent the occupa- tion of the bed at a proportionately ear- ly hour it is absurd to recommend the one without the other. Some persons require six or seven, some eight or nine hours in the 24, but if we all made a practice of getting up as soon as we wake we should ''find that the sleep avotild be sounder and more wholesome and that It would be seldom extended beyond seven or eight hours. The plan of rising a long time before - breakfast and taking -a walk on an empty stomach is undoubtedly.. a bad one, aud though it may be adopted by some people Athout injury, yet if at- tempted by those of delicate constitu- tion it will clo a va.st. deal of harm. Half an hour or an hour before that laical may well be passed in a short walk, but beyond that time the stom- ach becomes weakened in tone, and the meal when taken is followed by a dull and heavy sensation of fatigue and listlessness instead of the sprightly readiness for the clay's occupation, 'which it ought to be the, ambition of every one to poseess.—Health. • ' at you as you pass on your way." ifeuse, unable to bear its emptiness ancl The maiden smiled with disdain.
