these pretty toys of her childhood, L
should, indeed fear that her distaste were
a deficiency Of taste in general. l should
conjecture, that she who loved not the
lovely dress and various ornaments in
which Nature and the Seasons are attir-
ed, would have little relish for the de-
lightful scenery of Spencer; that she who
failed to treasure up these early associa-
tons of innocent pleasures, would but i'll
appreciate the human sympathies of
Shakespeare.

NE WsPAPERS.

There is hardly any thing so much
needed in family as newspaper; and
yet nothing, comparatively speaking, is
esteemed ofso little value.
Ifa man undertakes to retrench his ex-
Pences, instead Of looping off what is re-
ally useless and extravagant, the first
thing to be amputated is the newspaper.
He will not drink bottle of wine less,
nor smoke the less tobacco, nor divest
himself Of a single unseemly habit; but he
sits down and demonstrates to certainty
that paper neither feeds nor clothes him
and therefore is great tax.
And then note is despatched to the
printer:-"Sir, l cannot afford to take
your paper any longer" or"Times a,e
hard, money is scace; ergo, you may dis
continue sending my paper;" or with any
other excuse that may come uppermost.
Now we believe that every one who
will make fair trial, and observe the in
fuence Of reading over his family, will
find at the end oftho year, that he is not
a shilling poorer for having been sub
scribcr to good newspaser. He will
have accumulated more real intelligence
of the every day concerns of life and
their movements, we take it for granted
that he has perused every number with
avidity,) than he would have done in
series of years deprived of the sight
thereof.-His wife will have picked up
much information relative to the govern
ment other children, many useful lessons
ofhousehold economy, and no small share
ofinstruction suited to her situation.
The children acquire habit of read
ing, and degree Of intelligence worth
the price ofthe subscription ten times told
In fact, a well conducted newspaper in
a family is the best economist of time and
the aptest instructor Of the mind
