All the hooks in all the Universities and Colleges
OF the United States, amounting to one hundred in
elusive OF the libraries belonging TO the Students
amount, us nearly can be calculated to 100000 so-
umes. All those in the Theological Seminares, SO
in number amount to 100000 volumes. All the
books in all the other Libraries in the principal cities
amount to 100000 volumes-presenting an aggregate
Of seven hundred and fifty thousand volumes. The
aggregate OF all the volumes in all the public libraries
OF Europe, is fourteen millions five hundred and TWEEN
ty-seyen thousand
Besides the public Libraries which we have men
toned there others OF less import ance in some OF
the large towns and there many Private collec-
tons which are comparatively more valuable as they
do not generally embrace duplicates, worthless books,
etc which swell the numbers of volumes in some OF
the public libraries. The libraries of l.. ID Ingra-
ham, Isaac R Jackson, and Mr.. Barton, Of Philadel-
pbia each contain from 10 600 TO 600 volumes and
there ire several others which extensive and curl
Gus among which may be mentioned that of Mr.. w.
McCany which contains very large number of va
liable works relating to America In New York,
believe the largest private library is that % Gle
ment Moore formerly one OF the Professors Of Co
Iumbia College, Samuel Ward, Professor Anthem,
r. w Griswod Edwin Forrest, and many other gen
llemen have collections containing each from five ~
twelve thousand volumes In Boston too, there are
large number OF very excellent libraries belonging
a, individuals Those Of Professor Ticknor, Mr..
Douce VIM. Fl Prescott, and George Bancroft are
! among the best. These gentlemen will pardon u.s.
should they this article for alludng particular
ly to the good example they have set to their fellows
Good libraries public and private, are increasing
Thog,eal Aston Library, in New York will probably
surpass every DINER in this country IN he value of It's
books and the completeness of its collections in the
various departments OF science and polite letters. =
| The Rev Dr. Coggswe to HON Mr. Astor has en-
trusted the business OF purchasing has already OBJ
tanned many important works, and will contnue we
understand to enlarge the collection, opportunities
are presented until the edhce Tor It's reception is
erected This library, like those of Europe, will be
free open TO any citizen or stranger Of respectable
manners and appearance. 1t is becoming fashionable
too Tor all persons claiming to be gentlemen TO have
books in their houses-good books, the possession o.

FITS. --EltS are disorder Whlcn at some
times or other attacks most classes of persons,
and which il is often difficult TO cure, and il
NAV be useful 10 the public to prescribe GER
tain remedies lor this contagious maady
If YOU meet man who insults you, you are
ant to fall into fit of anger Cure il by leav-
ing him at once, and get satisfaction at some
future time You will thus be enabled to over
come him in your cool moments by taking him
unawares and holding him responsible for the
wrongs he has done.
Another remedy IS TO take walk in the
open fields, talk the matter over TO yourself
reason with The trees, talk TO the winds, con.
slider whether you have not given Just provo
cation for the alleged injury and perhaps you
will find that yourself are in fault
A fit OF repinng may attack you. Look at
multiludes that are about you who know not
where TO procure their daily sustcnance. Com
pare their condition with yours, and ask your
self if YOU would be willing TO change places
with them You will soon be cured Of that fit
by rejecting how much better of you are than
many others.
A fit of dependency comes upon you Look
al The halt and the blind The very sight Of
them will make you ashamed that you for
moment presume 10 complain
You NAV fall into fit of idleness. Presu-
ming that you have enough of this worlds
goods sit an hour or two, and consider to
Yourself how you shall pass the remainder Of
HE day, and YOU Will contrve some sort of
employment for your corporeal or mental tacul-
Ties for neither the mind nor the body can
long remain inactive without WEAKNESS. Go
to work at once. The hardest labor in the
world is the labor of doing nothing
You may be attacked with fit OF ambition
Look at the downfall of the mighty. Look at
the difficulties to be encountered in attaining
the topmost round of the ladder, and you will
be content to remain al the level where your
own mers may place you, without encounter
ing the strife and tumuIt Of political adyance-

BY the way we have number Of Reyolu-
tonary Patriots in this town, and not Federal
Wing among them,
The above, from The "Nermont Patriot re-
minds the writer OF this OF an anecdote which
occurred in Vermont during the late Presidential
campaign The editor above remarks that 1--WE
have number Of Revolutionary Patriots in this
town (Montpelier) and not a Federal Wing
among them" He errs most egregiously, or
else one of the Revolutionary Patriots Of the
county lies, or has died since July 4lb, 1910.
This brings me 10 the anecdote. The sterling
and undaunted Democracy of Washlngton coun-
ty, the only county in Vermont which never
surrenders 10 Federalism in the time in which
mems souls were tried, concluded TO celebrate
the birth day Of our nations independence, and
accordingly extended an invitation TO every re-
evolutionary hero in the county,
the Democrats would make political capital out
Of the movement drummed up a celebration
also and extended their invitations To all the
Revolutionary soldiers in the county; and the
result was that the Democrats had THIRTY
ONE Of the heroes of the Revolution q, ,hoir
Jubilee, and the Federallsls ONE That one
Revolutionary hero is the subject Of the anec-
dote,
The President of the Federal celebration, in
order 10 affect the people who had assembled 10
witness the Coon skim tiummery, said in a
loud tone of voice, that a Revolutionary soldier
was present and would testify his appreciation
of the life and services OF General William
Henry Harrison. He was accordingly hurraed
upon The platform, the Cldercrates gave HIM
three cheers, and he stood aghast AT last a
real, whole-souled FederaIist bawed out TO
the full extent of his lungs, what General did
YOU serve under, Father Arbuckle?" Under
c; eneraI Burgoync,n was the prompt and deci-
ded reply Of the Federal Revolutionary soldier
The effect was thrilling, and the British Wings
were satisfied that it was ''no go" to try TO get
any but "Burgoine revolutionary hero 10
