A letter says that the Austrian gov

DINA assumes towards it in Italy, and
has begged the French government to
represent to the latter that in order to
preserve the tranquility of Europe, a
change of its policy would be desirable.
The French government has accordingly
made communication of confidential
character to Sardinia, limiting that she
might assume a less hostile attitude and
tone towards Austria, without lessoning
the influence she exercises in Italy. The
view which Sardinia viii take of this
monitor, remains to be seen.

Why should so many persons be so very
careful with regard to the food with which
their bodies are nourished, and pay so little
attention to that for the mind The seeds
OF disease can be as easily sown in the mind
as in the body, and the disease is far more
difficult OF cure. Every paper and book that
is read, exerts useful or deleterious in
fuence, not only during life but after it.
The words and actions that are Influenced
by books and papers go forth to exert an
influence, for good or evil upon others, while
the food taken into the body is limited in its
influence, and that but for short duration.
u is, therefore, Of immense importance that
every person should be exceedingly careful
in the selection OK his reading, for in the
mass of general reading how little there is
OF truth, how much of error and untruth.
In view Of the great amount of unreliable
reading in vogue, the question "what is
truth" may not only be often asked with
propriety, but also where is truth"
A continual indulgence of the appetite in
unhealthy and substantial food will soon en-
feeble the body, and make it enervated and
etfeminate; and it just the same with read
ing, which is food for the mind. What then
can be expected Of those persons whose men,
tai food almost entirely consists Of the most
trashy literature--its chaff, straw, and stub
blea Efteminacy aud weakness of intellect
We regret that such charge can be pre-.
ferred against the vast majority of our own
people, and those Of every other enlightened
and civilized nation. The records of litera-
ture prove that for one reader Of real solid
and useful papers and books, there are a
hundred who feast on the widest and most
frothy works Of fiction. Such reading must
be injurious to the mind, because it furnishes
It with no genuine ali,nentr

THEOLOGICAL DIFFERENcEs.--Dr.S Stuart
was rather fond of controversy. A favo.
rite topic with him was the true nature Of
saving faith, on which subject he regarded
DIR. Chalmers as in error. They met in the
streets OF Edinburg, and entered into warm
controversy; street after street, and square
after square were passed, and at length the
disputants parted; DR.. Chalmers taking DR..
Stuart BY the hand and saying: If you
wish to see my views stated clearly and dis.
tlnctly, read tract called Hinderances 10
Bel'erers Of the Gospel" "Why," said DR..
Stuart. "that is the very tract published
myself" DIR. Chalmers used often to des-
cribe this scene as proof that many may
think they differ when they really agree.
