Translated from the German, for the " Friend"
One day in spring, Solomon, then youth,
sat under the palm trees in the garden of
the king, his father, with his eyes fixed on
the ground, and absorbed in thought. Ma
than, his preceptor, went up TO him and
said, why sittest thou thus, musing under
the palm trees" The youth raised his
head, and answered, Nathan am exceed

NOVEL READING. "No young unmar-
ried woman" says Jeremy Lewis, +" ought to
be permitted to read novel of any descrip-
ton. Had "A daughter with heart of ice,
and u face as grim as a lions on an ANTIQUE
knocker, she should never pore upon tale
of love to make that ice smoke, or induce
her to believe that her face was as good as
her neighbours. Nature teaches us 10 sigh
soon enough in all conscience, without our
needing the bellows of imagination to in
fate the lungs prematurely." Such senti-
ments from a novel-writer must ba allowed
to come with considerable weight, inasmuch
as they are in direct opposition to his inter-
est-young ladies constituting very large
proportion of the readers of fiction.

They might become SO in this country, if
