-----......._-

Birmingham is just now quite the centre of at-
traction. In addition to the meeting of the British
Association, which has just been inaugurated there,
the formal opening of the Central Free Library has
given occasion for some interesting and profitable
addresses. Prominent among the speakers was
Lord STANLEY, who, from his warm advocacy of all
educational movements, and the practical good
sense and knowledge of human nature which he
brings to bear on social questions, is admirably
fitted for being the spokesman on such an occasion.
It is easy for a Reformer to sit in his study and
consider what are the best means of improving the
intellect, and what is the most instructive
and profitable course of reading that a man may
folio w in his leisure hours, but the discrepancy be-
tween such theories and the actual wants and capa-
cities of this work-a-day -world has been the reason
of the failure of so many well-intended establish-'
ments. Lord STANLEY does not content himself
with the visions of the philosopher in his easy chair ;
he , looks out into the crowded streets, the busy
workshop, the uncomfortable home, the lonely
lodging. Men living in such places, jaded and
harassed, oppressed by long hours of toil,
and exhausted by incessant application, are not
likely, he perceives, to sit down to the study
of DESCARTES and LAPLACE, to devote their
evenings to BACON and NEWTON. Neither can you
compel them to restrain their search for recreation
and companionship to their own_firesides when they.
know very well that they will find no companion-
ship there. There is, besides, in human nature an
irrepressible craving for change of scene and
thought, a wish to escape from the monotony of the
en ght
daily routine, to lighten the perpetual burden
of labour by a little variety of interest and occupa-
tion. It is not mere idleness which is fascinating
even,to the busiest man. It is a natural instinct
which bids him exercise those faculties, those tastes,
those capabilities, which were born with him,
but which are left to rust through
disuse. Nature is never one-sided. Every
man is capable of more than one occupation or
enjoyment, but very many spend the greater part of
their lives in the study or pursuit of one thing. The
mistake or the error, like all infractions of natural
laws, brings its own punishment. The man
gets narrow-minded, contracted, and one-sided
in his views. The burden always borne
in one place grows wearisome and oppressive, and
a life which properly varied might have been
healthful and enjoyable, becomes a dreary round of
mechanical task-work. The best means to avoid
this result among our busy classes is to provide
them with the means of innocent and pleasurable
recreation. Men unaccustomed to hard and abstruse
study will not, as a rule, turn to it for refreshment
when their day's work is done. No doubt, as Lord
STANLEY says, there will always be some whose lo ve
of science and knowledge is deep and sincere, and for
them due provision may easily be made, but in no rank
of life will such individuals predominate. For the
