Sleep.- The science nud poetry of sleep are here. Science has this In tbe London Globe: Sleep begins In Its first phase by a state of distraction. Immedi ately afterward, in 'a second phase, these states of distraction pass into a very delicate motor disturbance, due to tbe absence of parallelism in tbe axes of tbe eyes or by tho deviation of tbclr conjugate movements. And poetry this: Sloep hath Its own world. A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence. Sleep hath Its own world. And dreams In their development have brenth ' And tears and tortures and the touch ot . Joy. . And Shakespeare's "Sleep that knits np the ravell'd sleave of care."
