READ ONE BooK-Don't read too many books
DR.. Mott of Union College observes that he can tell
the young men in college who are to make their
mark in the world. If he can only see them return
from a visit to the college library, which is only
open once week. If says he, saw man leav-
ing the library with five six books under his arm,
l would say to myself there goes mental glutton
He will read, mark, but not inwardly digest; and
the consequence is he is very likely to have mental
dyspepsia the mind, endeavoring to acquire too
much, strains itself and becomes weakened. On the
other hand, if l see a young student taking but
small book from the liberry, and that he does not
return there for some time, / am satisfied that he
will saurate his mind with the intellect of his au
thor and not only gain all the knowledge in the book,
but sharpen his perceptions and invigorate every
faculty.
Nothing makes a man so we'll as being little
hungry all the time; and nothing improves the mind
so much as reading one good book thoroughly, and
making every fact your own. The mind is thus
never cloyed nor weakened.

AFFLIcTIoNs-A merchant was one day returning
from market. He was on horseback, and behind
him was a valise filled with money. The rain fell
with violence, and the good old man was wet to his
skin. At this he was vexed, and murmured because
God had given him such bad weather for his jour-
ney. He soon reached the borders of the thick for
est. What was his terror on beholding on one side
of the road robber, with levelled gun, aiming at
him, and attempting to fire! But the powder being
wet by the rain, the gun did not go off and the mer
chant, giving spurs to his horse fortunately had
time to escape. AS soon as he found himself safe
he said to himself: "How wrong was not to en-
dure the rain patiently as sent by Providencel If
the weather had been dry and fair l should not
probably have been alive at this hour and my little
children would have expected my return in vain.
The rain which caused me to murmur came at for
tunate moment to save my life and preserve my
property" 1t is thus with multitude of our af-
tiictions-by causing us slight or short sufferngs

longer duration.

"WnI You MARRY ME?"-On Sunday last was an
occurrence in one of our churches hardly suited to
the gravity of the occasion. After service, young
man who carries the collecting plate, as usual put
his hand in his vest pocket to place upon it piece
of money before starting to collect. He dropped,
as he supposed, quarter on the plate and, without
looking at it, passed around among the congrega-
ton. Instead of silver, however, be had inadVer-
:enty placed conversation lozenge in the center OF
the plate and all astonished at seeing the loz-
enge with the words staring them in the face, VIII
thought this was an unsual mode of "proposingl"
but no doubt it was the sight of them which caused
the mistake Washington States.

I'n Die at my Post.

o! may die in winter,
When earth with snow is white;
Or may die in summer,
When cloudless skies are bright
Or like the flowers in autumn,
Droop meath the blighting frost;
But wherefore death may seize me,
Twill find me at my post!
The rose may bloom in gladness,
All DER the beauteous lea,-
Or it may droop in Sadness
'Tis all the same to me!
The sky may frown in anger
Till Gods pure lights are lost
Still. l shall fear no danger,
If Pm but at my post!
Though sorrows gather round me,
And restless wiId-winds moan;-
And tho no smiles surround me,
To cheer, when love hath fiown,-
Tho friends may all forsake me,
In number now a host;
1 ne'er can feel desponding,
If ever at my post!

A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. bravely man can
walk the earth, bear the heaviest burdens, perform
the severest duties, and look all square in the
face if he only bears in his breast clear conscience
void of offence towards God and man. There is no
spring, no spur, no inspiration like this. To feel
that we have omitted no task and left no obligation
unuIed this fills the heart with satisfaction, and
the soul with strength.

DISCIPLINE IN CHnDHooD.-Young people who
have been habtually gratfed in all their desires
will not only indulge in caprcious desires, but
will infalby take it more amiss, when the feeling
or happiness of others requires that they should be
thwarted than those who have been practically
trained to the habit of subduing and training them,
and consequently will, in general sacrifice the hap
piness of others to their selfish indulgence. To
what also is the selfshness of princes and other
great people attributed? 1t is in vain to think of
cultivang principles of generosity and benifcence
by mere exhortaton and reasoning. Nothing but
the practical habit of overcoming our own selfish
ness and of famiiarly encountering privations and
discomfort account Of others, ever enables to
do it when required. And, therefore, am firmly
persuaded that indulgence infably produces selfish
ness and hardness of heart. and that nothing but
pretty severe discipline and control, can lay the
foundation of magnanimous character.-Lord
,JefreV.

POVERTY OF THE LEARNED-0f the heroes of
Modern literature the accounts are as copous as they
are sorrowful
Zylander sold his notes on Dion Cassius for din
ner de tells us at the age of 1S he studied to get
bread
Cervantes, the immortal genius of Spain, is:sup-
posed to have wanted food. Camoens the solitary
pride of Portugal deprived of the necessares of life
perished in hospital at Lisbon after having tri-
umphed in the East Indies, and sailed five thousand
five hundred leagues
Vondel, the Dutch Shakespeare, after composing a
number of popular tragedies lived in great poverty
and died at nineteen years of age then he had his
coffin carried by fourteen poets, who without his
genius, probably partook of his wretchedness.
The great TaSSo was reduced to such dilemma
that he was obliged to borrow a crown for weeks
subsistence. He alludes to his distress, when en-.
treating his cat to assist him during the night with
the ustre or her eyes having no candle to write by
Cardinal Rentivoglio, the ornament of Italy and
of literature, anguished in his old age in the most
distressful poverty.
Vagelas the most polished writer of the French
language, who devoted thirty years to his transa-
tion of QuntinS Curtius died possessed of nothing
valuable but his precious manuscript. This ingen-
lous scholar lett his corpse to the surgeons for the
benefit of his creditors.
Dryden for less than three hundred pounds sold
johnson ten thousand verses as may be seen by the
agreement.
Purchas, who spent his time in compiling his
Relation of the World when he gave it to the
public, was thrown into prison at the suit of his
printer
Spenser, the child of fancy, languished out his
life in misery. Lord Burleigh says Granger, who it
is said prevented the Queen giving him hundred
pounds, seems to have thought the lowest clerk in
his Office more deserving person.
LIE Sage resided in little cottage while he supp-
ed the world with its most agreeable novels and ap
derived n
in his old age from the ial existence of an excel
lent son, who was an actor of some genius.
