Reading

Keep your view Of men and things
extensive, and depend upon IL that q
mixed knowledge is not a superficial
one. As far as It goes, the views that il
gives are true; but he who reads deeply
in one class Of writer's only, gets views
which are almost sure to be perverted
and which are not only narrow, but
false. ADJUST your proposed amount
of reading to your time and iuclina'
ton; this is perfectly free TO every man
hut whether that amount be large OF
small letit be varied in its kind, ant
widely varied. If I have a confident
opinion on any one thing connected
with the human mind, il is this.-1Dr

The London Times says in its article
on the Presidents Message:

The London Times says in its article
on the Presidents Message:
Before long another Mexican war will
sever new provinces from the unhappy
Spanish Republic, and give them to the
Anglo Saxon race. In one sense this
is a gain to humanity Beautiful and
fertile regions, now desert, will pass
under the bands Of the cultivator, mines
will be worked, harbors will be filed
with shipping, and a new life will ami
mate that vast region. 1t is not likely
however, that the Americans will seek
to annex the whole Republic The
Mexicans are not the stuff to make ciG-
zens of, and another generation of dis.
cord and decay must elapse before their
time comes to be improved off the face
of the earth.
The conquest of Mexico might be a
gain to humanity, hut it is questionable
whether it would be a gain to the peo.
pie of the United States to undertake
such a humanitarian enterprise.

Kossuth and Hungary.

Ko5suth has sent a letter TO a mum
Der Of gentlemen residing in Glasgow,
Scotland, in reply to an inquiry wheth-
er, in the present junoture Of affairs,
he considers that public expressions
Of appreciation aud sympathy for the
Hungarian cause might be conducive
TO the good Of his country. The ques-
ton Ne Kossuth answers warmly in the
affirmative, The results Of the war in
ltaly-he soys-tbe subsequent move
ment in Hungary, Transylvania and
Croatia, coniointly with the general
dissatisfaction throughout the whole
Of the Austrian empire, even Tyrol
included, and the utter helplessness
Of its government, have within the last
four months not only raised the Hun
garian question to urgent European i'm
port, but in reality endowed il with
the character Of leading question Of
the day. Francis Joseph is now both
the nuisance and the sick man of Eu-
rope; and the perversity, the stupidity,
and consequent rottenness of the sys-
TEN Of government, is hurrying the
house Of Austria to that destruction to
which they are doomed by their crimes.
1t is on the sword, and the sword alone,
that the Emperor relies for his safety:
but the sword-trusting Emperor has no
money, and his army will not save
him. IF foreign intervention does not
save him, nothing will. The mature
ripeness for freedom, Kossuth argues
in conclusion, is manifested in the una
uimity of the movement, for there are
no longer any parties in Hungary, 9th.
er than the party of patriots.

Leap Year.

This year of our Lord, 1860, has been
wisely set apart for the benefit Of that
class Of ladies who are anxious to enter
the state of matrimouy, but who have
not had the good fortune to entice some
luCkless wight into the meshes Of their
net, On aud after the 29th day of Feb
ruary, 1860, the ladies will be fully au-
thorized to commence making love to
any gentleman they may deem worthy
Of their hands, hearts and fortunes.
The year is called leap year because
it is the lady, S privilege to "leap" into
the arms Of the man she fancies. To
prove this, we quote from an old work,
printed in 1860 entitled, "Courtship,
Love, and Matrimonie." In the chap
ter entitled, when ye girles shall
sparkle ye MEME" the learned author
thus speaks
"Albeit, it is nowe parte Of ye Com
mon Lave in regard to ye social rela.
tiOns Of life, that 50 often as every be-
sextile year doth return, ye ladies have
ye sole privilege during the whole time
it continueth, of making love unto ye
men, which they may do either by words
or looks, as unto them it seemeth prop
er; and moreover, no man will be enti-
tied to ye benefit Of clergy who dothe
refuse to accept ye offer Of q ladye, OF
who doth in any wise treat her proposal
with slight or contumely."
Therefore, ladies', you must comply
with the law, and, bringing your cap,
tives up to the altar, allow them the
benefit Of clergy.

QUEyoHINa THIRsT Nearly hund.
red years ago, Dr.. Lind suggested to
Captain Kennedy that thirst might be
quenched by dipping the clothing in
saltwater, and putting it on without
wringing, Subsequently, the captain,
on being cast away, had an opportunity
Of making the experiment. With great
difficulty he succeeded in persuading a
part of the men to follow his example,
and they oil survived, while the four
who refused and drank salt water, be-
came delirious, and died. In addition
TO putting on tho clothes while wet,
night and morning, they may be wetted
while on two or three times during the
day. Captain K. goes on to say: "Af-
ter these operations we uniformly found
that the violent'drought went off, and
the parchcd tongue was cured in a few
minutes after bathing and washing our
clothes, while we found ourselves as
much refreshed as if we had received
some actual nourishment."
The bare possibility Of the truth
Of the statement makes it a hu-
manity for any paper to give it wide
publicity since there are not many
readers in any hundred who may not
go to sea and be shipwrecked.

ABATING NUIsANCEs IN KENTUCKY
The Grand Jury of Campbell coun,
ty found bills against about a score Of
persons for riot, in the destruction Of
W. S. Bailey's paper, tho Free South.
The States Attorney hearing Of this,
argued the matter before them, taking
the ground that it was the law that
where a nuisance existed which could
not be reached by law, the people had
a right to abate it. Tho jury sought
the opinion Of Judge Moor on the ques.
ton; and he told them that il was the
law; whereupon they reconsiderod aud
Quashed the indictments. So the law
is in Kentucky that anything that {,
not in violation Of law, a newspaper fol
instance, may be destroyed by any body
who will declare it a nuisanoe "a
Daniel come to iudgmeutl" is tha
