LOVE OF READING.-Hon. Rufus Choate, in an adj
dress once said; Happy is he who has laid up in
YOUTH and held steadflst in all fortune, genuine
and passionate love of reading true balm of hurt
minds, of and more healthful charm than pop
py or mandragora, all the droWsy syrups of the
world - by that single taste, by that single capacity,
he may bound in moment into the still regions of
delightful study, and be at rest.
Well may he prize that endured charm, so efcctual
and safe, without which this brain (placng his hand
on his forehead) had long ago been chilled by para
lysis, or set on fire by insanity
BURNs-Some of the papers have had para
graph recommending the use of Whe0t -four i'll the
case of scalds burns. A gentleman at Dayton
writes that he tested it to his satisfaction. He says
While ut the supper table, little child which was

the loosely applying plenty of flour next to the
skn and the following morning there was not the

ssDoN'r SLEEP WELI.''-Snce the fullest amount
of sleep is as essential to the hehful workings of the
mind and body as necessary food, it may be well to
know how to secure it, general rule.
| l. Clarity your conscience.
. Take nothing later than six O'Clock, ?. NJ, ex-
cept bread and butter, and small cup of weak
tea of any kind half glass of water for supper
! 5. Go to bed at some regular early hour. Get up
the moment you wake of yourself, even if at mid
! night.
| l. Do not sleep an instant in the day time.
| Unless your body is in condition to require spe-
cal medical advice, nature will regulate your sleep
to the wants of the SYSTEM in less than month and

! PARENTAL DUTY.-The father who plunges into
business deeply that he has leisure for domestic
duties and pleasures, and whose only intercourse with
his children, consists in brief word of authority,
surly lamentaton their intoerable expensive
ness is equally to be pitied and to be blamed What
right has he to devote to other pursuits the time
which God has allotted to his children: Nor is ii
any excuse to say that he cannot support his family
in their present style of living without this effort
ask by what right his family demand to live in
manner which compels him to neglect his most solemn
and important duties? Nor is it an excuse to say he
wishes to leave them competence. Is he under OBJ
legation to leave them that competence which he
desires? Is it an advantage to them to be relieved
from the necessity of labor: Besides is money the
only desirable bequest that father leave to his
children? Surely well-cultivated intelects, hearts
sensible to domestic affection; the love of parents
and brethren and sisters taste for home pleasures
habits of order, regularity and industry hatred OF
vice and vicious and lively sensibility to the
excellence of virtue-are valuable legacy an
inheritence of property-smple property, purchased
by the loss of every habit which could render that
| property blessing.
