soMErH1Ne ABOUT e,u q READd1Ne w

While many do not read at all in these times,
there are those who read too much, particu-
larry the young. A moderate amount of read
ing and plenty of observation is what viii de-
ivelOpe the youthful mind. a<fr.4asa4.
In an amusing article upon the physicians
and Surgeons Of a By-gone Generation. q
foreign journal describes Aebnerthy conversing
thus with patient: :.4lH4a 9di no VS. i3t liHaq I
i II opine," says he, that more than half your
illness arises from tco much reading.Y ia
On my answeringthat my reading was chief
ly history,which amused while it instructed, he
replied, that is no answer to my question. All
your time Of life young fellow should, endea-
vor to strengthen his constitution, and Law in d
stock Of health Besides, too much reading
never made an able man. 1t is not SO much
The extent and amount of what we read that
serves us, as what we assimilate and make our
own. 1T Is that to use an Illustration bor-
roWed from my profession, that Hconstitutes
the chyleIUf the mind. Il have always found
that really indolent men, men of what I cali
habby intellects, are great readers. 1t is far
easier to read than to think, reflect or observe.
And these fellows, not having learned to think,
cram themselves with the ideas of others
This they call study, but it is not so. In NV
own profession have observed that the great
est men are not mere readers. but the men
who observed, who reflected, who fairly thought
out an idea. To learn to think and reflect IS a
great desiderafum for a young man. John
Hunter owed to his power of observation that
fine discrimination, that keen judgment, THAT
intuityeness which he possessed in a greater
degree than any other surgeon of his time"

Well, the decision of the court being in my

SHARP PRACTICES. There is a gentleman

< SHARP PRACTICE. There is a gentleman
residing in the westerly part of this city, Of
whom the following story is told: He is
known among the merchants of Boston and
New York as an intelligent and successful
shipmaster. Some time before the fall of
Wilmington, and when that place was in the
full tide of successful blockade running, our
shipmaster was urged by certain parties to
undertake the venture Of running cargo Of
cotton out ofWilmington and into Liverpool,
they promising to provide a suitable vessel for
the purpose He finally consented, run into
Wilmington, shipped his cotton and ran out
again, successfully evading our blockading
squadron. Once safely out, however, he raised
the stars and stripes and headed his vessel
for New York, arrived there safely, sold the
vessel and cargo for handsome sum, and
with part of the proceeds bought house in
this city, which he paid for in gold. 1t is not
very likely that the prime movers in the affair
viii ever max emuch stir to recover their yes
sci or cargo, though they win not be very like
ly to ask that man to run the blockade for
them again. n Lynn Bulletin ~ 4. 4V
