A young man may learn many ( sciencies and languages merely by making proper use of the early hours of daylight in the Summer season?Early rising is perhaps bv some considered a vulgar 1 habit?therefore, it is a thing well enough for mochaoi'** and laborers, but bv no! j means to be adopted by the higher class-!'

It is indisputable that I lew men ever lived to a great ago, and 1 fewer still ever became distinguished for their abilities, who were not in tho habit [)f early rising. If you rise late, of cours you cannot get about your business till a late hour, and then every thing goes wrong throughout the day. Dr. Franklin says, 'that he who rises late, may trot all day and will not hove overtaken his business at night," indeed, it may be confidently affirmed, that lie who is in the habit of i earlv rising in his youth, will bo in.ieh more likely to live to an old age, more likely to be a distinguished and useful man in Society, and more likely to pass a pleasant and peaceful life, than he who I makes n practice of lying in bed till a late hoir in the day, as many do.
