READING AND THlNKING.-This is emphati
caly the age of reading. But it is one Of
thinking also! Our grandfthers had fewer
books, still fewer newspapers, and no system
Of popular lecturing, yet what they acquired
they had time mentally to digest, and so be.
came sounder men, When Bacon said read
ing made the correct man, but conversation
only ready one, he meant the reading of a
more thoroughage than this What .conver-
sation was then, common reading is now
Men read light and easy books instead of talk
ing with their gossips and gain very little if
any more improvement.
The true end Of books, or even of good
newspapers, is not merely to crafty curiosity,
but to supply facts and principles, which may
belaid away in the mind, to be drawn upon
subsequently,, as the exigencies of life demand.
He who reads without digesting, even if he
learns how to Think never has stock of ideas
on hand to think about. He,is like the Israel
ties in Egypt, when they had no straw to make
bricks. But careless reader is also bad
thinker. The mind of a thoughtful reader is
like the boiling apparatus of mill, separating
the blan from the -four, coincident with the act
of reading. The haaty reader neglects this
duty. Men forget what they have read almost
as soon as the book or paper is laid down.
They never, or rarely exercise their Judgment.
They don't think.-Philadelphia Ledger.

the Nebraska question will be formally taken
up, by decided majority vote, and that the

King Ohio, of Greece; is abundantly scolded
and threatened by the London press. It's
more than limited that his realm may be restor
ed--like the Crimea to the Ottoman Porte
The Morning Chronicle holds this language ::
"By adhering strictly to the implied contract
under which his dynasty was established, the
King of Greece may survive the present con.
vulson in the East. On those terms only will
England and France tolerate the existing sys.
tem."

A SALE.-A young man who had shown great
tact and readiness clerk in one of our wholesale
stores, upon becoming Of age was selected by the
firm to represent it in an outside capacity, and was
accordingly installed in of our hotels most ire
auented by country merchants, in order to secure
their custom for his employers. There Couldn't
have been a better selection for the Office, for he
combined shrewdness and snavify to a remaraka-
bic degree The very day of his instalment he
was attracted by plain but well dressed stranger
in the bar-room, whom he set down at once tor
country merchant. Walking up to him, he COM
menced conversation, the result OF winch he
hoped to be a triumph for his tact. He was very
voiuble-a quality in which Boston clerks are IN
no wise generally lacking-and talked of the
country, of the noble occupation OF cultivating
the soil, of the independence Of the farmers CHAR
acter of the healthy influence Of country life up
on the morals of young men, then ne exPatlatedi
! upon the advantages of the country trader, and
dwelt tenderly upon certain hopes of some day be-
coming one. The merchant quite loquacious
and held his own well in the tide OF words, until
some two or three hours had passed very agreeaoy.
At length the object of his talk was delcately ap
preached, as you have seen perch come round
hook watching for the safest place to take hold OIL
Sc Do you intend" said he in very gentle tone,
" to purchase any goods during your stay IN Bos-
ton? ~ The merchant looked at him intentiy for
minute before he spoke, and then said, No, don't
want no goods-Pm one of the 'osters Of thus ere
'ouse."
This was the terrible fact. The pointer had
smelt a merchant in John Ostler's Sunday coat,
which John had put on Cor half holiday, and had
sacrificed two hours in conversation about which
he knew nothing, to Johns great fun, who had no
idea of what the man was drlvin' at

Mr. EDITOR Il send you herewith an extract
from late Edinburgh Review on the subject OF
popular education in the United States l am led
to this by reading in late editorial OF the New
Era the grave Recommendation to abolish our
system of Public Instruction, and similar recon-
mendation in your last paper from the Shepherd of
the Valley, Catholic paper IN the Western
States ! trust there are very few in our commit
nity who sympathise with the views of these
editors.
After giving hasty review of public education
in the different States showing its rapid advance,
the writer of this Review presents the following
concluding remarks: Z.
Our glance at education in the Translantic
States leads us to some important results we
CLEAN from it, not only the facts that more than
1000 of pupils attend the public schools, and
that large funds are accumulating for the purpose
of education, but deduce more interesting concln-
sions Ii is obvious that the system OF public IN
struction has taken firm hold of the public mind,
and is eminently popular and progressive; that II
is pervadng the entire country, and assuming
higher tone and character.
There Is determination In America to unite
the thinking head with the working hand, and to
elicit all the talent of the country. The system OF
public schools drew Daniel Webster from obscu-
rity TO guide and enIghten his country; and more
| Websters are required. The respect for educa-
| tiou displays Itself in the establishment OF the
grounds of the country schools. In place OF the
low and comfortless school room, brick structures
are now reared in the large towns, seventy feet In
lleneth by sixty in width, and four stories hgn
well ventilated, and warmed by furnaces. Inc
books are improved, and Libraries provided. L ne
local committees give place to able super'ntendents
and boards of control. Music Is added to the
studies.-schoos of design are established nor
ma, schools to prepare teachers, are provided
institutions are started TO educate the deaf, dnno
| hind and idiotic; all these are at the pubic
ciarpe. ACCIDENTS and colleges follow, and
schools for arts, law, medicine and divinity succeed;
and 10 stimulate the whole. teachers institutes,
school journals and agents are employed oy tne
State to disseminate information, and ian the poo-
| lie enthusiasm Appeals are constantly made 10
the public to suffer no waste Of talent or intellect
to give the luxury of learning to the class doomed
10 toll and TO counieract the bad influences oil the
I home of the iterate emigrant BY the attractions
of the school.
| Under these incentives the taxes tor schools are
icheerfuIy paid, and education progresses. What
are its effects? Do we not see them IN the
ou;ckened action of the American mind, IN us
more rapid adaptation of means to ends /; IN tne
application of steam, and the great water power o'
the country, as a substitute for labor IN teachhg

ADAM AND EvE-We talk of Adam and Eve a.
having been before the fall, in very happy condi-
ton, Bu one thing they missed, they never were
children. Adam never played marbles. He nev-
er played hokey." He never drove tandem OF
bows with string. He never skated on pond.
or played "ball," or rode down hill on band
sleigh. And Eve, she never made play house
she never took tea with another little girl from the
little teatable set out with the toy teathings; she
never rolled hoop, or jumped rope, or pleced
baby-quiIt, or dressed a doll. They never played
ablind mans buff" or a pussy wants corner, or
8. hurly burly,n or any of the games with which
childhood disports itself. How blank tseir age
must have been, wherein no memories OF early
youth came floating back from the long past, no
mothers voice chanting lullaby 70 the ear OF fan.
cy in the still hours of night no fathers words OF
Kindness saeaking from the church-yard where he
sleeps. Adam and Eve, and they alone OF all the
countless millions of men and women that have ev-
er lived had no childhood. q
