Ladies Should Read Newspapers.

It's a great mistake, in female educa>
ton, to keep a young lady's time and at
tention devoted to only the fashionable lit.
erature Of the day. IF you would quail
fly her for conversation you must give her
something to talk about-give her eduea-
ton with this actual world and its tran
spring events. Urge her to read the news
papers, and become familiar with the pres
ent character and improvement of ourTaee.
History is of some Importance; but the
past world is dead, aud we have nothing
to do with it. Our thoughts and, our conc
Germs should be for, the present world; to
