Reading.

WHAT Books CAN Do.-"Wha,'s the
use of book harniny ?" said man to bis
son, whom he found poriug over a new
work up stairs. ats waste of time to
read; | never heard that it made any body
richer" And he snatched tho volume
from the lad, who, as a consequence, was
playing in the street, before half an hour,
and acquiring the worst habits Of his new
associates.
If that father had been less ignorant, he
would have known what books could do.
He would have been aware that the re-
suits Of reading, if judiciously applied, as
sist towards making a man rich, more
than anything else. He would have re-
membered that Franklin, but for love Of
study, would have died poor and obscure,
instead of achieving world wide reputa-
ton as philosopher, diplomatist aud
patriot. He would have been conscious
that the surest way to keep his son from
making vile acquaintances, aud to iDcul-
cate in him refined and even decent tastes,
would be to foster his fondness for reading.
Who knows but that the snatching the
book from that boy was the turning point
in his destiny? From that hour, perhaps,
may date downward career, which is not
unlikely to end in di,grace, prison, or
even worse.
Though books do not in themselves
make men infallible or virtuous, they tend
vastly towards producing these results.
The man VINO has books about him, is
generally better man than be who has
not. Ifa question in politics, social science,
history, or philosophy arises, be is able to
get at the opinions of the wisest. BY mere
ly consulting his books; while his litter
ate neighbor, at best, can imbibe new
ideas only orally, and practically has to
take these from very inferior men. Books
do not always make their readers sound
in Judgment, because books are often one
sided, and because readers buy partisan
books. But even the worst selected lib.
rary is better than no library at oil. A
man, with books, is like workman with
tools; aud though the tools are bad, they
are tools nevertheless. They enable US to
furrcw up many field of inquiry, to cut
many harvest Of opinion, to thresh out
many a granary full Of truth, which, five
had no plough nor reapiug machine, nor
other labor saving apparatus, We might
work at, hopelessly, for years. Books, in
a word, bear US, by IN express train, to
knowledge.
Books introduce US also into the noblest
society. While the illiterate are drinking
at taverns, or seeking company BY loung-
ing in the streets, he, who is fond of books,
amuses his leisure BY conversing with
Shakespeare, Bacon, Milton, Thucydides,
Or other great sages of the past. He lives
among tho best society Of all times, and
On the most intimate terms lives with
posts, kings, philosophers, heroes, states. |

The Worth of Woman.

THE CELEBRATED AFRICAN TRAVELLER.
The Rev. DR.. Livingston, was expected
to reach London on the ll'h. He was q

very severe weather after leaving Malta,
and which, during calm that succeeded,

past, and she was towed into the Bay Of
Tunis by one of the Bey's steamers. A
part of the passengers, including DR.. Liv-
iugs,on, proceeded to Marseilles,in small
steamer, kindly granted by the Bey.
The great traveller is in good health,
although bis left arm is broken, and partly
useless, it having been torn by lion.
When he was taken on board her Mnjesty's
ship the Frolic, on the Mozambique coast,
he had great difficulty IN speaking sem

This man, when hO got to the Mauritius,

The Caddo Gazette, of the 18th instant says:
We have nothing to report this week respecting the
crops or the weather of special interest Cotton is
beginning to open, and we believe some few planters
picking but, general thing, but very little
has been gathered.
The Mount Lebanon Baptist, of the 10TH has the
following:
Little rain has fallen during the last week, though
thunder clouds have been passing on several days
The atmosphere is less humid About the last of Au-
gust became quite COOL and is now only moderately
warm-peasant surely for the season.
We have very little to add about the crops. Cotton
has rather overgrown itself and shaded the lower
crop so that the first picking will not be of quite so
the boll-worm in places The top crop, on which
much now depends, promises well.
There is much sickness still everywhere even in
the most salubrous regions, though we do not hear
OF many severe cases. 1t is mostly remittent and in
termitteut fever.
The Red River American, of the 18th, announces
that the river was falling and the crops appeared
promising.
The Assumption Pioneer of Tuesday last says
On Saturday and Sunday (l2th and l3th,) we were
favored with gentle showers, which will prove of
great service to the cane. gardens and potatoes Pre-
viOus to this the weather had been warm and dry
and from the want of rain the earth had begun to
crack, and as it were, opened its mouth in silent
prayers for solethns to drink Up to this date but
little has been gathered owing to its not being
sufficiently dry for housing. The quality of that
gathered is good, and the crop is abundant Some of
our planters are boasting occasionally of finding
long canes, with Numerous joints already matured'
but this is not a correct indication of good crop

waited field, fine stalk now and then So far as our
observation extends, we find but few red Joints in the
