THE AKT OF READING.-Few people possess the
art of reading well for the instruction or amuse-
ment of others; the exceptions are ouly sufficient
" numerous TO prove the rule. The following
communication from a lady who appreciates good
rerding, presents the subject in sOmeO of its most
important bearings, and as matter that should
receive the attention of the public, we give it:
DEAR EDITOR II have often been led to ques-
tiOn the prOpIety of that system Of education
which requires our young ladies to spend years in
attaining a knowledge OF music, while so little at
tenuOn is given TO the far more useful and equal
| " elegant accomplishment of reading. Msny Ia
dies who dsight the ear with their sweet songs il
asked to read single page from any ofour stand
ard authors, declare their inability to do so, or i
willing TO comply, only prove the truth of their as
/ sertOn.
We seldom find the mistress of a family who re
tans her acquaintance with the Piano. and thus
| has been sacrificed time money, and not unfre.
quently health, also; for, three or four hours daily
practice for years cannot greatly promote either
intellectual or physical vigOr.
As we value the happiness Of the home circle
above every social enjoyment, should we cultivate
| those talents and acquire those accomplishment
which most contribute to it as we expect oul
children TO be familiar with the great truths OF our
greatest minds-With the poetry and history o
the world, should we make every effort to have
sueul ilhLuCleu IN Lne ART OF Tedulugs Aueu uOHl'

here the matter rests.

Various executive reports were received.
Mr.. Biqler introduced bill to extend the
limits of the report of entry for the district Of
Philadelphia. Referred to the Committee on
Commerce.
Mr., Mason's resolution TO take a recess from
the l 0 h to the Both of April was taken up.
Mr. Mason advocated it on the ground that
no business could be done in that period, and
that it was better so to adjourn instead of ad-
iourning over every three days.
Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, was opposed to
the resolution. He thought they could do
business that did not elicit serious controversy.
Mr.. Chandler moved as an amendment TO
adjourn from the 18th of April to the 22d of
May, so as to cover all the Conventions.
Mr. Gwin thought they ought to stay and
Iepisl te upon business of vital importance to

themselves. No business could be done duiing
the Conventions. They might as well meet

made bythe War Department was taken up

ed the remainder of The day.
The bill to grant SOS, goo for 5 years to the
| Public Schools, WIS taken up.
Mr. Clark offered an amendment, that Por-
ton should 90 for the education of the eolOred
population
This excited much debate.
Mr.. Brown was willing the free negroes IN
the districts should be educated in their Own
schools and to authorize them to tax them
selves for the purpose. He would so further
and say ifthe Northern people would let the
slaves alone, he would favor the education OF
the slaves, but for the interference Of the North,
this would have been done long ago. They gave
their blacks a religious education and would
give them other instructions, but that North
ern fanatics take advantage Of their learning to
make them their own enemies.
Mr.. Mason opposed the amendment. He
thought it wise policy on the part Of the South
ern States to withdraw education from the
slaves. Negroes, bound or fee, form no Par'
Of our political society.
The amendment was further discussed b5
Messrs. Bayard, Davis, and others.
Mr.. Wilson said wherever Republicans resis
, the expansion ofslaveTy they had lectures irsm
I the other side on the equality Of r1ces- Inc
? North don't seize black men and sell them ioi
fear Of their equality. The North was not un'
willing to permit black men to read the B,ole.
Mr.. Iverson said It was not true that ths
slaves were not allowed to learn to read. They
are not allowed to learn to write, for that WoulC
I be dangerous.
