We Read Too Much.

Many read simply for present gratitica-
ton. Books and papers Of every descrip-
ton are greediIy devoured, only to increase
tbs appetite for other and more superficial
works A distaste is soon acquired for any
thing Of a sound and ennobling nature, and
hence, not only is the time thus occupied
lost, but a positive and lasting injury Is
done to those misled.
Others, with natural and rational de-
sire for knowledge peruse book after book
with such injudicious haste, that much is
Iost-as one may ride post haste over
great extent of country, and yet be unable
to give bat a mere outline of what he has
seen, leaving out the more important OBJ
servations of the soil, plants and inhab
itants. We must consider not only what
We read, but how we read
Parents are careless or thoughtless of
what is placed before their children. The
world at large passes too little censure up.
on those whose time and talents are de-
voted to the writing of all that is fictitious
and superficial. believe that such writers
are guilty of great crime before God.
Not that all which is fictitious is injurious
or worthless-we speak of that which is in
tended simply to please and interest, Of
which there is SO much afloat
If You would know the true test of a
book, examine your mind after reading it.
Has it tended to give you higher and nobler
conceptions of God and his law? Do you
feel desire to reach forward and GRASP
those things which lie beyond and above
Has it brought forth noble thoughts and
aspirations In word, are you better fol-
having read it2 If SO, you may be sure
that it is safe and profitable work. A
book is q tree which brings forth fruit
either good or bad. If good, it will nourisl
our moral and intellectual nature. If bad
it will poison the soul. Avoid, then, all
bad books You can no more read them
without injury than you can live in al
impure atmosphere and not breath IT into
the system. Like bad company, they con
taminate, by their silent influence all with
whom they come in contact Above all,
read with attention; let nothing tempt you
to read hastily and thoughtlessly; what
ever you read, let the mind bend to it.
What is thus acquired will be retained and
furnish agreeable and interesting subjects
for conversation. The mind will be stored
with much that is good, to the exclusion OF
the evil ;-and these resources will be the
soil from which will spring noble desires
for the elevation of mankind The mem
DRY, too, will be strengthened; but the
benefit thus resulting will not lie alone in
the amount of knowledge secured--a habit
Of attention will be acquired, and this pow
er of directing the mind into one channel,
and holding it there to the exclusion OF
everything else, goes far to make tho differ
ence between one mans mind and another,
in the realm of intellectual greatness. The
powers of the mind arc made subservient to
the will, and the man is elevated by every
such achievement, ~
