words which head this article, 10 the effect
which they have produced, have been the
cause of grea. mischief, and have kept
many from embarking manfully in the
work of storing up intellectual treasures.
When young man is urged TO commence
at once the work of study, he turns and
lets fall the simple words. ] cant spare
time" and thinks that he has given suffi-
cient excuse from further attention to tie
subject There are mechanics, too, who,
instead Of doing their part towards the
cultivation oftheir own minds, and throw
ing their influence and talent into the ge-
neral stock for the improvement of obser-
walton, and probably really think that
"ihey eai't spare lime" The excuse is
handy one, and has passed curentmuch
too long, for in majority Of eases there
is neither sense nor truth in it. In the
first place, it need not occupy great por-
ton of time; for by proper management,
a large share ofvaluable information may
be obtained in short time. OF this any
man may be convinced by trying the ex-
pertinent. There is time enough lost
