READING FOB THE RoXs.

Now that the boys at Cairo, have got
the roots and stunps on the site Of their
various camps grabbed out, their breast
works built and their big guns mounted,
they will have leisure to read bit in the
intervals Of military duty. Rev. ROBERT
Col11En, Of the Ministry y-at-large, Unita-
rian) than whom there is no one more
jealous in good works, kindly offers to:
take charge Of and find means to send to
and distribute among the troops, Ill books
and other reading n1atter that may be for
warded for that purpose to the TRIBUNE
office, =.
We trust that MI. Colyer's appeal may
be responded to by the people Of all local
tiles from which volunteers hare been sent
Southwark. We will see that everything
sent here goes into his hands; aud we
know that he will faithfully execute his
trust. If we were SLOWED to suggest we
should say that elementary books treat1ns
Of Natural Science, books Of travel, bio
e1aphies, moral and religions trcatises,
with a proper admixture Of fiction, would
meet the demand. Soldiers have no time
to study. They will read for instruction
and amusement, principally, Te fear, the
latter; hence heavy tones are not what
they ask: The religions societies are doing
much to furnish them with serious read
ing; but man lives not by tracts alone. :"
Newspapers are never amiss; we are told
that they are deyoured in camp with great
avidity. Indeed anything that will vary
the tedium Of camp life, tell Of new fact,
or beget an idea, will be very thankfully
received. Now let the book cases and Ii
brarieB be oYerhauled aud see what can bt
spared for the instruction and comfort o
the defenders Of the old flag.
