| Show how to wake in the mor borning mornin ning BY HENRY WARD BEECHES gettin getting up early is venerable since there i has been ca a literature or a history the habit badii 01 of early rising rifling has been recommended for health for pleasure and for business the ancients are held up to us for examples but they lived so tar far to the east and so s near to the sun that it was much easier for them than for ug us peo po pie 1 e i in n E europe u rope always get up several hours be fore r e w we e do people in asia several hours before the europeans do andy and we ve suppose as men go toward the sun it gets easier and easier until somewhere in the orient probably they step out of bed involuntarily or like a flower blossoming bloss oming they find their bed clothes gently opening and turning back by the mere attraction of light but as far toward sundown as we are the matter becomes more difficult expedients of i every kind are resorted to some men have heads with the organ of time so largely developed that they have only to select the hour fix attention upon it and then as it werey were wind up their minds and sure enough off they go at at the appointed time we have tried this hii with success ourselves but it induces a habit of waking waiting up every half hour through the night to see whether it is time to wak wake up finally alarm clocks are very good provided they do not stop and do go off but if there is one day in the year on which the machine fails it will be that very day that of all others it was vas necessary for you to start early servants are much relied upon for waking you up in hotels and at friends houses but of course they oversleep on that very morning when you must get the early train or lose all the connections and half a dozen appointments and of course cours e too everybody says how surprising that the servant did not wake was never known to miss before always had been reliable we have found one plan of 0 waking to be very effective let one preach a rousing sermon overnight over night become thoroughly excited and he will wake early enough the tile next morning we never miss monday nonday mornings what eier eler es er may be the fate of other days the indefatigable E BI whose observations of weather have made him renowned and whose reports have llave given to newspapers quit quite a set of teatler phrases has bas been in in the habit for years of making hourly observations of the thermometer duy dby and night of course the waking at night was an important martof the business he was the lucky owne of a dog that sympathised sympathized with his master and divided the labor with him for the intelligent tell igent little fellow every time the clock struck at night would spring el up and scratch at his bis masters door till E at came forth such nocturnal labors at length wore w ore out his co constitution n ution and science mourns the departed martyr of thermometric zeal and broken rest good healthy children that are put to bed at night when birds arld and chickens retire are admirable wak eners 8 in the morning when they have slept their sleep full there is no help heap for you wake they will coo and frolic they will kill all your hushing and humming bumming are vain your efforts to put them to sleep only serve to wake yow yoa cupl up A bouncing 11 boy a year old I 1 creeping out of his crib slyly and pound pouncing upon his father fathers ya face with chirp and cb chuckle uc kle kie is better than any alarm clock A clock will soon run out its cacophonous rattle but a child never runs down or ends his fun but we have bave discovered a new method of waking early perched upon our green hill bill slope beyond Peek shill we have found it difficult to sleep after abent four of summer mornings for a countless multitude of birds in all the trees and shrubbery aim their notes at us with such sweet archery that we are pierced through and through with the silver arrows of music it is in vain that you wrap the pillows about your earst it is in vain for you to reflect that you need sleep and will not get up every one knows that an effort of ibis this kind sufficient to resist the annoying or attractive bound sound is itself the end of sleep while we are resisting we are wakening thus thug this very morning all the trees about our little old house were belfries and rang out more chimes than were ever heard beard at cologne or antwerp and after the first recognition we turned restlessly to the wall determined to sleep on but a robin 3 said our ears and a bo balink there goes a wren and sparrows larval lares cat birds arld and many of their cousins in the orchards and woods all joined to laugh us out of the idea of sleeping Ble now if any one wishes to get up early we will t tell teil e 11 him bow go out of the city early in the day seek some tranquil place in the country where guns are never heard beard where fruit trees and shade trees abound and where the shaking of the leaf or the distant crow of chanticleer is the loudest soun dever heard except of birds and then atter after walking all day among the fields and hills and forests and supping upon milk that nevet novel dreamed of a city milkman go to bed bel by nine it if you do not wake before five the next morning report your case to us and we will make a fresh P PROBIE PROBLEM err iTI A lady had
