Going to Bbi>.—Wo should never go
to bed with a hope to rest, sleep aud
perfect repose until " all roady.” The
preliminaries for retirement aro all just
as important as aro those for the day’i
duties. Wo must not go to bed with ai
overloaded stomach, in an anxious o
troubled stute of mind, with odd ex
tremities, or without anticipating and
responding to the calls of nature. Be
fore or in a stove-hosted room is not
the best way to get warm for a night’i
sleep. Wo should tako sneh vigorous
exercise as will givo nuiok circulation
to the blood, and not depend on artifi
cial, but on natnral heat. Attention to
all these things should bo followed by
such devotional exercises as will bring
all tho feelings, emotions and senti
ments iuto accord with the Divine will,
subduing passion, removing hatred,
maeice, jealousy, revenge, and opening
tho portals of heaven to all who seek
rest, peace and sweet repose. It <s a
happy custom with many to conclude
the evening’s proceedings bv singing a
sweet, quiet hymn—" The day is past
and gone,” etc. which brings all present
