LIE ENJOYMENT OF REAnlNG.-It is
the most gratifying TO reflect that there is
not human being endowed with health
and the ordinary condition of the human
iacuitlcs, Thar may not participate in what
Sir John lierschol appears to consider the
greatest OF human pleasures. 1t is delight
fui to forcsce, that when the whole of So
clcty shall be SD far educated as to derive
pleasure from reading, and when books are
as plenty as bread aud potatoes, the hardest
worked agricultural laborer or mechanic
when he goes home, after his days toll NAV
plunge ut once into the most intense cnioy
ment by taking book. The most CRAFTY
ing circumstance respecting this enjoyment
is its universallty, aud its applicability to all
countries, all ages, and to every human be-
ing in tolcrable health, and above dcs,itu-
ton. 1t is equally applicable to the man,
whether in prosperity or adversely; whcth-
cr i'll prison or free: and, even to n certain
extent, whether in health or in sickuess.-
Another gratifying prospect anticipated
from the result of universal reading, is uni
vcrsal improvement of worldly circunstnn-
ccs. Let any taste become general, and
the relation and habits of society will nc
commodate themselves to that taste. The
hours of labor at present, afford barely time
! for eating and sleeping; hut when reading
becomes a necessary Of life to every one
even the lowest class Of society-thcy will
be reduced so as 10 afford time for that en-
joymcnt also. Surely, ifnothing else wero
to be gained by system Of national edu-
cation but the powers Of comforting so much
happiness on millions, it would deserve the
patronage Of every benevolent mind, and
bo worthy the adoption, alike of govern
mcnts protesting to be be paternal or to be
representative. But the main object which
wo nave now in view, is to impress John
IIerschel's statement strongly on the mind
of the young mechanic, so as to encourage
him above all earthly things, TO cherish a
tosto for reading in himself, and in all ,hoss
with whom he may have any thing to do
! Another point to which we wish to direc,
attention, is the necessity. when national
system or education is established of adj.
ding to every school, not only a garden. q
workshop for teaching the simpler opera.

for teaching the girls cookery, but also cir
culating library for the benefit of the whole

ANECDoTE OF JOHN ADAMs.-Bclind
the house of John Adams, lies a meadow
OF some extent, with which was connected
an anecdoto lie was wont to relate 10 the
last day of his life We extract its narra
lion from the history of Quincy, the author
OF which had heard it from his own lips. 1t
Is Interesting as showing from what accidcn-
tai circumstances often spring the most i'm.
portant changes in the lives and fortunes of
distinguished men. We only premise. that
when young, President Adams, senior, was
but little attached to books. Study was TO
him an irksome task.
when was boy, had 10 study the
Latin Grammar, bur il was dull and hated
1t. My father was anxious to send me TO
college, and therefore l studied Grammar
TILL could bear it 10 longer; and going to
my father, ! told him | did not like to Stu
dy, and asked for some other employment
II was opposing his wishes, and he was
quick i'll his answer. We'll, JOHN said he

try ditchins; perhaps that will. My mca-
dow y0nder needs ditch, and you may nut
by Latin and try that
This seemed delightful change, aud
to the meadow l went. But ! soon found
ditching harder than Latin, and the first
forenoon was the longest ever experienced.
That day eR the bread Of labor, and glad
was when night came on. That night l
made some comparison between Latin
grammar and ditcbing, but said not a word
about it. l dug the next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner; but it
was humiiating and could not do it. AT
night, toll conquered pride, and told nv
iather-onc of the scvcrcst trials of my life
THAT, II he chose, would 60 back to La
tin graniner. He was glad of it; and if |
have since gained any distinction, it has
been owing to the two days labor in tha,
| abOminable ditch"
The Missouri papers mention the death
OF Gen. VIM. H. Ashby, on the 26,h March

iron Steasslc rAs

Now that steam navigation 10 becoming so exceed
ingly important topic, and now that two or three
iron steamers already on their way to difieren
parts of this country il becomes the duty of all to
quire into the effects of iae iron used in constructing
steam ships especially iron vessels, upon the
mariners compass. These iron vessels have been
recently constructed, and have had 80 little expert
with the navigating of them TO enable us TO aP.
ply any correct suffcen data that il is impossible
TO offer many remarks upon the theory Of their
action.
IL is no doubt established ncontestbly, that Bar
lows celebrated and invaluable compromising plate is
fully and efiectualy available when the arc OF devla-
ton is small; all who nave used board OF wood
en- sailing ships can testify to ths yet this valuable
invention, we think must be totally mpractcable on
board of these iron steam vessels, account OF the
deviation of the arc being much larger. Ii will be
remembered thar we gave in our ship news the other
day an account of an iron steam ship, bound to Rio
Janeiro being picked up by corvette and towed on
her passage for several days She had been out from
England nearly two monIhs-had not made half her
passage-and on account of the Immense deviation
of the arc Of her compass, she had got so completely
turned round in the Atlantic that her commander
knew not where he was, what course he was
steaming or steering On board Of the iron steamer,
the Rainbow, if we remember right the deviation
nearly go degrees on her passage from Liverpool TO
Lsnden and not only was the deviation Of the arc
thas great but il in the inverse ratio of all ordi-
nary cases of deviation of the compass.
Usually-that is, in ships not constructed Of ron
the alleged cause OF the deviation IL the aggregate
action OF several magnets the needle being affected
the deviation produced by the resultant Of thee
forces. But in the case of the Rainbow and the Rio
Janelre steamer the case widely different ;the
vessel itself became (srange as /, may appear)
large magnet the south pole Of the same being always
fouRd at the stern in northern latudes and the IN
Gyidual acton of the vessel (this magnetized or mag
netc mass) produced the deviation, which, however,
was invariably found to depend on the needles posi-
toh with regard 10 the preponderance of the mass IL
SELF The only suggestions, therefore, that strike
the mind of the commanders of these vessels is 10
choose ar exceedingly high position for standard
compass and TO stee not upon true courses but OBJ
served ones. We have not space 10 follow the rami
ficaons of these theories although they excesd
inely interesting and important ye, we think these
suggestions are conclusive of themselves. la add.
ton, however, it would be well for the commanders
of all iron vessels TO note down carefully and
rately, all and every pm ,nomena that falls legitimate
ly within the scope Of their observation; as by SO do
ing can they alone hope 10 remedy defect whish
threatens 10 render otherwise valuable improve
