The Peculiarities of Talking and
Writing.

The Peculiarities Of Talking and
Writing.
A man never knows what he has read
until he has either talked about it or
written about it. Talking and writing
are digestive processes which are abso-
lutoly essential to the mental constitu-
tion Of the man who devours many
books. But it is not every man who
can talk. Talking implies, first of all, a
readiness on the part Of the speaker,
and next, a sympathetic listener. 1t is
therefore as a digestive process the most
difficult; it is the most rapid, in its ope-
ration. Writing is q very different af.
fair a man may take his time to it, and
not require a reader he can be his own
reader. Itis an easier, although more
formal, process of digestion than talk
ing It's in every body's power; apd
every body who reads much makes more
or less use Of it, because, as Bacon says,
if he does not write, then he ought to
have extraordinary faculties to compen-
safe for such neglect 1t is in this view
that we are to understand the complaint
Of a Well-knoWn author that he was ig-
norant Of a certain subject, and tho
means by which he was to dispel his
ignorance-nOmely, by writing on it.
1t is in this view that the monitorial
system of instruction has its great val

of teaching, It is from the same point
Of view that Sir William Hamilton used

The New Lime Gas in the English
Metropolis.

tt is stated in the London papers that
the new Cline gas light" which was
promised to supercedo the present mode
of gas-lightng, has been tried on the
new bridge of Westministor and with
great success. The light is of dazzling
brilliancy, a single jet being equal to
forty argand, or eighty fsh-tail gas
burners, or as many as four hundred
wax candles, while its brilliancy may be
increased by augmenting the quantity
of gases supplied in its manufacture
1t was understood when the invention
was first discovered, that this gas would
be cheaper than that now ia use, but at
present the only thing stated Of it is
that it is immensely superior to the or
dinary form of gaslight, 1t has long
been the opinion Of scientific men, from
a variety Of experiments in the manu-
facturo of gas, that the discovery of
some cheaper and better illuminator
than coal gas was not remote, but so
far no positive results have been attain
ed, particularly in the cheapening Of
gas, which is a matter of so much i'm
portance to consumers. The expert
ments in water-gas, of which we have
heard so much for year past. are said
to be eminently successful, but no ap-
parent effort is being made in any
quarter to introduce it, or to satisfy the
public Of its utility.

Of itself. Not less than $4,000 is paid
out to these men each week, all Of which
