CLASSES OF READERs. Coleridge, in 4
lecture, some twenty years ago, divided
readers into four classes. The first he
compared TO an hour-glass, their reading
being as the sand--it runs in and out.
and leaves nota vestige behind. Ascend
class, he said, resembled spongc--which
imbibss everything, and returns it in near.
y the same state, only little dirtier.-
The third class he likoned to a jelly bag
which allows all that's pure to pass away.
and returns only the refuse and dregs.-
The fourth class, of which he trusted
there were many among his auditors, he
compared to the slaves in the diamond
mines of Golconda, who casting aside all
that IS worthless, preserve only the pure
gem.

A Touch YARN.-There is a place in
Maine so rocky, that when the Down..
casters plant corn, they look for cresices
in the rocks, and shoot the grains .inawisk
a musket; they can't raise ducks therer. no
how for the stones are so thick that the
ducks can't get their bills between them
to pick up the grasshoppers, and the only
way the sheep a get at the ,sprigs of
grass is by grinding their noses on a grind
stone.
But that amt a circumstance to a
place on the Eastern Shore, Maryland
there the land is SO poor that it takes two
kildeas to say "kildeal," and on a clear
day yon can see the grasshoppers climb
up a mullen stalk, and look with tears in
their eyes over a fifty acre field: and the
humble bees have to 60 down on their
knees to get at the grass; all the musquitoes
died of starvation, and the turkey buzz
yards had to emigrate. las tsss aga sgs
But there is a county in Virginia which
can beat that-there the land is so sterile
that when the wind is at the northwest
they have to tie the children to keep
them from being blown away; there. it
takes six frogs to see a man, and when
the dogs bark the have to lean against
the fences; the horses are SO thin that it
takes twelve Of them to make a shadow,
and when they kill a beef they have to
hoM him up to knock him doon.r'
