APPRENTICE ' LIBRARIES.

In anmldvertIng upon the utility Of these excellent
Institutions, the editor OF tbs Portsmouth Journal very
udlcously observes, that IL is not merely in giving
number OF young tie OF rising higher in life
and thns contcrring personal fayour-but is in
tending the love OF reading, in raising tho moral and
intellectual Character, that the benefits Of such libra
ny are chiefly felt When young man has acquired
love of reading; aud of course relish for inteeetu
al pleasures, he las one of the best pfeseTyayes
gainst dissipation. fUndness for low company, and
noisy and Incorporate pleasures is generally the
sequence OF ignorance and want OF tasre.
That the prosperity of the town depends almost
entirely upon the character of the middle class, needs
scarcely to be proved.-ln any state of society. but
lew IN be rich; and in our happy country, but few
are obliged to be poor Between the extremes OK
opulence and poverty is found the largest and most
valuable part OF society. This middle class contains
the men VINO live hououraby by the labour of their
own hands who acquire strength of body and Insnd
