- Allj^emiwHUfi?gros that Levo of v Reading Sa one of tba supremest plea?; v fa the only friend who ncr er changea. Take il up when you like, pat it aside wheo y ott cbooee, oherieh it or oegleet it'aoait ii Mill tbe saree ; always pre Mating a smiling faoo, and never re? teaching you for any fancied elight or - insult. Other friends may grow cold, or fall away, or.die, bot your .book is a fiiend that is always faithfu.1 Sod true; '' and bs who basa gonuioe lore of read /lng possesses a talisman to charm away I sorrow-a co m pan ion, a lawyer, a phy l eiflian, a philosoper, who never grows ? weary, asks no fee, demands no homage, resents no wrong, but is ever ? ready to instroot, to console and to de? light. . ;.... The Amusement of Reading, says Sir .- Edgerton Brydges, "is among the great est consolations o? lifo j it is tbs nurse of virtue, the upholder of adversity, the prop of independence, the support of a just pride, the strengthener or elevat? ed opinions; it is a shield against the tyranny of all the petty passions ; it is the re pel 1er of the fool's scoff and the . knave s poison." "If," says Sir John Hersohol, "I were to pray for a taste whioh would stand me in stead under every variety of oir oumstanoe, and be a source of happi? ness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, how ever things may go amiss and the world frown upon me, it would be a Taste for Reading. I speak of it, of course, only as a worldly advantage, and not in the slightest degree as superseding or deroga ing from the higher ornees, and surer and stronger panoply of religious principles, but as a taste, an instrument and a mode of pleasurable gratification. Give a man this taste and tho means of gratifying it, and you eau hardly fail of making a happy man, unless, iudoed, you put in his hand a perverse selcotion of books. You placa him in oootact with the best society, in ovcry period of history; with tho wisest, wittiest, with the teuderest, the bravest, and the purest characters who hav^? adorned humanity ; you may make him a denizen of all nations, a contemporary of alliages. The World has been created for bim/' "A book, a love of reading, and edu? cation is," says Macaulay, "a companion whioh no misfortune can depress, no olime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism onslave. At borne, a friend ; abroad, an introduction ; in solitude, a solace ; in sooiety, an ornament. It shortens vico, it guides virtue, it gives nt once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man ? A splendid slave ! a reasoning savago I va illating between tho dignity o? an intelligence derived from God and the degradation of brutal passion." Poetry and music are but expressions of that intense love of the beautiful whioh grows out of a communion of mind with mind. "All inmost things," says Carlyle, "are melodious, and nat? urally utter themselves in song. The meaning of song goes deep. The Greeks fabled of sphere harmonies ; ?twas the feeling they had of thu inner structure of nature, that the soul of all her voices and utterances was perfect music Poetry therefore, we call musical thought. The foot is he who thinks in that manner, t turne still in on powers of intellect i it is man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet. See deep enough and you see musically-the heart of na? ture boing everywhere music if you can only reaoh it." lt is not necessary, however, that your reading should be exceeding di? verso ; better that, like other friends, your books should be select and choice. "He that roads muob," observes Lord Lytton, "should have powerful organs of! intellectual digestion ; he will other? wise receive but little nutriment into his mind, and, what is worse, will de range the healthy functions of his men tal System? The ingenious Mr. Hobbes did not much value a large library, and used to remark, though with singular vanity, that had he read as much as other men, ho would have been as igno? rant as they." "Some books," remarks the great Sir Francis Bacon, "are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to bo chewed and digested ;" and there are, says Charles Lamb, "books that aro no books," by whioh he meant books not worth ronding, of which in theso latter days, there are nnfoi tuoately too many ; but, thon, is not the Book of Booka to counteract the ovil influence ofidio read ing ? The volume, than whioh, says Sir Walter Scott, 'twero "Better hail they ne'er boen born, Who road to doubt, or read to soorn 1" - . . SKILLKD I, A MO?. Every mochan io nod artisan should strive to excel iu his work-to gain tho highest skill, nod te put ns much thought as possible into what he is do? ing. Skilled labor is almost always paid tho best. Tho more a man's mind goes down, into what he is doing, the more ex? ccllcnt will be his work, and the quicker will he risc above the lovel of a mere human machino, that day after day merely executes its tusk, but never im* proves. They hnvo a queer woy of amusing themselves in Auburn. A parly catch a toad, then a couplo of dozen fire-fl ?cs or " lightning-bugs." They ranko the toad swallow thc bugs, and afterward put him under a glass dish. Tho little flies keep up n flashing inside for some min* utos, and illuminate thc toad all over. he tot I likos it, too-. "When my mother says no, there's no yes iu it." Herc is a sermon in n nutshell. Multitudes of parents say "no," but after a good deal oft easing and dobuto, it Anally become* yes. Love nnd kindness nm essential elements in thc successful management of children, but firmness, decision, inflexibility, and uni? formity ol' treatment, uro U0>less impor? tant. - A Gentleman sent a Ind with a letter to (ho post-office, and rooney to pay tho po-tagc.
