Study and Sicep.-In Combe's Phllosoph y
one of the most philosophical books of the kline


ha, has ever been published) there is an excellen
hint, which is worthy of any circulation it can
receive. Mr.. Combe says that nature has allotted
the darkness of the night for repose, and the res
toraon by sleep, of the exhausted energies oil
the mind and body. If study or composition be
ardently engaged in, towards that period of the
day, the increased action in the brain which al
ways accompanies activity of mind, requires a
long time to subside and if the individual be OF
an irritable habit, he will be sleepless for hours,
or tormented by unpleasant dreams. If never,he.
less the practice be continued, the want of re-
ireshng repose will ultimately produce state OF
irrability Of the nervous system, approaching in
sanity. 1t is therefore. Of great advantage to en-
gage in severe study early in the day, and devote
two or three hours preceding bed time, to light
reading, music or amusing conversation.
