“Oh, stop staring at me as if I were a lunatic, and go to bed. I’ll be
all right tomorrow. Oh, yes! Oh, yes! I’ve _got to be_. But at any rate
_I_ won’t go to bed. That would be a little too much!”

THE END
_The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading. Why not then own the
books of great novelists when the price is so small_
_Of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard-working
man, after his daily toil, or in its intervals, there is nothing like
reading an entertaining book. It calls for no bodily exertion. It
transports him into a livelier, and gayer, and more diversified and
interesting scene, and while he enjoys himself there he may forget the
evils of the present moment. Nay, it accompanies him to his next day’s
work, and gives him something to think of besides the mere mechanical
drudgery of his every-day occupation—something he can enjoy while
absent, and look forward with pleasure to return to._
