It is the thing:that is left undone -many

be too hasty in concluding that the object
of one's devotion is indifferent: There
are some of us, you know, who are too

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
