READING ALouD.-There is no treat
SO great as to hear good reading of
any kind Not one gentleman in a
hundred can read so as to please the
ear, and send the words with gentle
force to the heart and understanding.
An indistinct utterance, whines ,drones,
nasal twangs, gutteral notes, hesita-
tions, and other vices of elocution,
arc almost universal Why it is, no
one can say, unless it be that either
the pulpit, or the nursery, or the Sun
day school gives the style in these
days. Many lady can sing Italian
songs with considerable execution,
but cannot read English passably.
Yet reading is by far the more valu-
able accomplishment of the two. In
most drawing rooms, if thing is to
be read, it is discovered that nobody
can read one has weak lungs, anoth-
er has an abominable sing-song, evil
IDENTITY tradition of the way in which
watts hymns were sung, when he
was TOO young to understand them !;
another rumbles like a broad wheel
wagon; another has a way of reading
which seems to proclaim that what is
read is OF no consequence, and had
better not be attended to.

GET HoME.--Get home, rich or
poor, get home, and learn to love
that home, and make it happy to wife
and children by your own presence ;
learn to love the simple pleasures,
flowers of Gods own planting, and
music of his own the bird, wind and
waterfall. So shall you help to stem
the tide of desolation, poverty and
despair, that comes upon so many
through scorn of little things, o, the
charm Of little home comforts
dwell there that shun the gilded halls
of society. Live humbly in your lit
tie house, and look to God for grand
or one.

THE WEALTH OF OUR STATESMEN
Jefferson died comparatively poor
Indeed, if Congress had not purchased
his library, and given for it five times
its value, he would with difficulty
nave kept the wolf from his door.
Madison saved money, and was COM
paratively rich. To add to his fortunes,
however, or rather to those of his
widow, Congress purchased his manu-
script papers, and paid thirty thousand
dollars for them.
James Munroc, the fifth president
of the Uuited States, died so poor that
his remains found q resting place
through the charity Of one Of the citi-
zens.
John Quincy Adams left some
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
the result of industry, prudence and
inheritance. He was man of method
aud economy.
Martin Van Buren, is very rich.
Throughout his political life he has
studiously looked out for his own in.
terest. 1t is not believed that he ever
spent thirty shillings in politics. His
party shook the bush, and he caught
the bird. True to the instincts of his
nature, he believes that charity is a
cheat.
Daniel Webster squandered some
millions in his life time, the product
of his profession and his political
speculations. He died, leaving his
property to his children, and his
debts to his friends. The former
sold for less than twenty thousand
dollars-the latter exceeded two
hundred and fifty thousand.
Henry Clay left very handsome
estate. 1t probably exceeded one
hundred thousand dollars. He was a
prudent manager, and a scrupulosly
honest man.
James X. Polk left about one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
fifty thousand of which he saved from
his presidency of four years.
john Tyler is worth fifty thousand
dollars. Before he reached the presi-
dcncy he was bankrupt. In Office,
he husbanded his means, and then
married rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
Willard Fillmore is a wealthy man,
and keeps his money in very strong
and safe box. 1t will never be wasted
in speculation, or squandered in vice.
Ex-President Pierce saved some
fifty thousand dollars from his term of
service. But he had a way of his
own.
