the lives Of Northern people travelling South on

READING AND THINKING.

Our grand mothers had a few books,
and fewer newspapers, and no system
of popular lecturing, yet what they ac-
quired they had time mentally to digest,
and so became much sounder. When
Bacon said that reading made the cor
rect man, but conversation only a ready
one, he meant the reading of more
thorough age than this. What conver-
satlon was then, common reading is
now. Women now read light and easy
books instead ftalking with their gos-
sips, and gain very little if any more
improvement. .,aoasd tsa, bas .t.-ls 81, s
The true use Of books, or even of
good newspapers, is not merely to graf
ify curiosity, but to supply facts and
principles, which may be laid away in
the mind, to be. drawn upon isubsequen-
