Reading q without Thinklng,

Sir Walter Scott said, in regard to
education: yes cultivate taste for
reading 8 NO matter what--fctiona or
fact poetry or prose. The taste will
soon improve, and the grosser creations
of fancy be- laid aside for the more
true. and hfe.like.i 1t was SO in his
own case, but great many never get
beyond the lowest stage, They read
to escape from thinking, and not to
learn to think. In some cases. nosdoubt
the critical faculty Is by degrees thus
awakened, and there can be but little
doubt but that, intellectually, any sort
of reading, not bad in morality is bet
than none. The high colored daubs
admired IN childhood ofen inspire a
love of drawing in a youth, whlcb, in
after life, leads him to eminenees as a
painter, and yet he soon gets tora point
at which he feels. that to continue
copying from such. distorted models
would render his eye inaecurate,oand
spoil him from becoming a frst-rate
artist. It is the same with reading.
Wherefore, read that you may the bet1
ter think, and not for the purpose Of
driving away the thought altogether.

ii The House has passed the amend
msns to the Tax Bill, reducing the tax
on whisky to fifty cents per gallos, in
stead of 81 90 per gallon as heretofore.
The new revenue law abolishes the
Bonded warehouse system, and en-
forces the collection Of the tax on whisky
at the distilleTy. All whisky now in
bond must be removed from the ware
houses within six months, and in ad-
dition to the tax Of so cts. per gallon
must also pay tax Of $4 90 per barrel.
