VALUE OF TIME. The difference of rising every morning at six and eight o'clock, in the course of 40 years, supposing a person to go to bed at the same time he otherwise would, amount to 29,200 or the years, in days, 16 hours ; which afford eight hours per day for exactly ten years, so tliat it is the same as if ten years of life (a weighty consideration) were added in which we may command eight hours every day for the cultivation of our lives and the dispatch of business.
