"NO TIME TO READ"

We occasionally hear the remark from heads
of families, in relation to the question of taking
religious and literary family paper, at is of
no use for me to take paper for have no time
to read" This remark is sometimes made by a
young husband and father, and sometimes by a
young wife and mother 81 have no time to
read" What gloomy prospect this presents
for the young growing family. Here are ten
der inquiring minds, thirsting for knowledge as
the tender plants thirst for dews and rains, un-
der the care of parents who have "no time to
read" or in other words, who have no desire for
sefimprovement, no mind for seeking informa-
ton no thought for the higher nature and its
wants. For this is true state of the case with
those who have no time to read. There is no
person who has mind to read, mind in this
respect essentially above the brute, but what
has opportunities for good amount of reading
and that without any interference with the 9TH
er labors of life. The characters which we re-
fer to, waste time enough in vacuity to store
their minds with much useful knowledge, if they
had minds to be thus enriched
Do parents realize their responsibilities in that
sacred relation? Would they think of taking
charge of garden or nursery, without any
knowledge of the nature and wants of plants
and fruit trees, and the science of their culture!
But now they are assuming the care and guild
ance of garden of minds, minds capable ofvast
acquisitions in knowledge, virtue and happiness,
or of deep degradation and Indebtedness. And
how much depends upon the influence of early
parented converse and instruction.
No time to read! 1t is false. You have time
to read and think. And the improvement Of
here and there half hours rest in reading and
meditating on important subjects Conformation,
instead ofinterfering with your other interests,
will invigorate the body through the mind and
will furnish the mind with themes of pleasant
meditation, which will sweeten toll, and bless
the walks oflfe
Alfred, King of England, though he perform
ed more business than any one of his subjects,
found time to study.
Franklin, in the midst of his abors, had time
to dive into the depths of philosophy and explo-
red an untrodden path of science
Frederick the Great with an Empire at his d.
rection, in the midst Of war, and on the eve of
battle, found time to revel in the charms Of phi
losophy, and feast on the luxuries Of science.
Napoleon, with Europe at his disposal, with
Kings at his ante-chamber, and at the head Of
hundreds of thousands of men, whose destinies
were suspended on his arbitrary pleasure, found
time to converse with books.
And young men who are confined to labor or
business even twelve hours day, may take an
hour of what is left; for study, and which will
amount to two months in the course af year.

THE POOR MANS BOOK.

The winds have blown the smoke away
Cold is the forge and hushed the mill;
The atoil-worn cotter" rests to-day
Traffic is mute and labor still.
The embarrassed horse feeds on the green,
The laboring OK rests in the shade,
holy calm pervades the scene,
And beauty smiles from hill and glade.
The modest flowers that light the clod,
Like drops of sunshine from the sky.
Bow their sweet heads and worship God,
And send their fragrant praise on high.
Beneath his fig-tree and his vine,
Beside the lOwly cottage door,
The poor man reads the precious line
OF promise to the humble poor.
The bible is the poor mans law,
A blessed bond to mOrtals given;
A ladder such as Jacob saw,
With angels coming down from heaven.

THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published oceekly IN the City Of New York at t,co
dollars year.
On the first of January last commenced a
New Series of this copious, comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper, which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing
room gazette Of the country. A home is hardly
complete, we think we may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journal, which is the chronicle
Of all that interests all classes of Society and of
the intelligence which most enlivens an American
Home.-Ncw York is the great Centre, and here
ut the fountain head of novelty, incident litera-
ture, and foreign news, the Home Journal is prn-
ed and published. It's editors, Geo. T. Morris &
n. L. Wilis,) devote their entire time skill and
experience, to the task of giving each week. every
thing worth knowing They particularly keep an
eye on all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time, and careful portraits of the distinguished
pains are taken, by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour-
nails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris as will
exceedingly instruct and amuse. We present
to our readers, the facts and outlines of all news
In our literary department, we aim at sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our condensations
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tiresome,
and the local, and transfer to our columns the pick
of English information and brilliancy while we en-
deavor to select with a true sense of pure morals,
true wit, and genuine humor In addition TO the
above we propose to give in the of the COM
ing volume, one entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz
A Series of Returned Love Letters. This being
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers of the Home Jour
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever. We have also new correspon-
dents in London and Paris, who will send us much
that could never reach us through Foreign Jour
nails As a New Years Present from Gentleman
TO Lady. The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week. and it is
as gift in good taste.

STRAW AS A CovERING.-Cl straw is an
excellent covering for many things; thousands
of sea kae in frames or under hoops have no
other blanching material; and how clean they
grow in it! Rhubarb, in winter forcing and
early spring, grows beautifully pnky. 1t is
well known that early spring frosts destroy
rhubarb; but if a six inch layer of straw is put
on every crown, as the heads put up they raise
the straw with them, and it not only gives the
stalks a better color, and makes them less
"stringy," butt keeps the leaves from growing
too large. No wind will blow it of, nor will
the most intense frost injure the plants Straw
should not be looked on as mere litter; it is
as good as frame upon a large scale. What
sort of eatable strawberries would we have
without straw! In summer, every crop, such
as gooseberries, currents and many other
things, should have the protection of straw,
which keeps the sun from drying up the sur
face, and the surface roots damp and cool,
while all weeds are kept down. Market gar
deners used it for their frames-it matters not
whether for cucumbers, melons, or potatoes,
straw is their coverng-and their crops are
more secure than when protected by thin
mat But some may object to the use orstraw,
on account of the litter it makes in a garden
but if any of those who object to its use for
this reason, will just take peep into Convent
Garden market at any season, they cannot fail
to be struck with the quality of the produce, in
the raising of which straw plays an important
part. Straw is also the best of all manures
for strong retentive soil, when it is dug in
fresh, as it decays and leaves innumerable
worm-like holes which act as drains for the
roots. Gardeners Chronicle.
