On a Taste for Reading.

THE old adage, "Tell me what friends you
keep, and will tell you what sort of man you
are" can be paralleled by one which asks
what books you read, and then from the
answer presumes what manner of man you
are. That was, indeed, the triumph of mind
over matter, when Cadmus, the inventor o
letters, discovered the noble art of arresting so
subtle, volatile, and invisible a thing as
thought, and impaired to it an existence
more durable than that of brass or marble.
The feeling which man Of liberal educaT
ton naturally entertains yards the gre.t
minds who have written imperishable books,
has been SO eloquently stated by one who has
himself left works which are likely to exist as
long as the English language itself, that we
cannot forego the pleasure of transcribing this
writer's remarks:-"The debt which he owes
to them is incalculable. They have guided
him to truth. They have filed his mind with
noble and graceful images. They have stood
by him in all Observation-Disclosures in sor-
row, nurses in sickness, companions in soli-
tude. These friendships are exposed to no
danger from the occurrences by which other
attachments are weakened or dissolved. Time
glides by; fortune is inconstant; tempers are
souIed; bonds which seem indissoluble are
daily sundered by interest, by emulation, or
by caprice. But no such cause can affect the
silent converse which We hold with the high
est of human intellects. That placid inter
course is disturbed by no jealousies or resent
ments. These are the old friends who are
never seen with new faces who are the same
in wealth and in poverty, in glory and in OBJ
scurity. With the dead there is no change.
Plato is never sulen. Cervautes is never petu-
liant. Demosthenes never comes unseason-
ably. Dante never stays too long. No differ
ence of political opinion can ALLEVIATE Cicero.
No heresy can excite the horror of Bossuet."
1t is no detriment to the noble writer whom
we have just quoted, to say that the same
thoughts can be found in one of our particular
favorites, Montaigne. 1t detracts not in the
slightest degree from his originality, for old
Montaigne got his ideas from the ancents, AMI
| the modern writer has merely expanded the
sense of the Frenchman. How true is every
line and how the advantage is shown TO be
possessed by those who read the best produc-
tions of all ages, to the ephemeral trash which
the Minerva press is constantly producing in
such abundance. Charles Lamb said in his
own quaint, delightful way:-"At the hazard o.
losing some credit, | must confess that dedi-
cate no iRcOnsiderable portion of my time to
other peoples thoughts. | dream away my

mitted that such a course will suit many who
can read and think too but of the numerous

1t is Shakespeare's comparison of pouring
water into sieve Good old Charles Lamb
was only indulging in his mischievous vein
when he said he could not think he was right
in saying that he had no repugnances, but he
had for all that. 1t almost provokes us that
he did not like Byron; he must even quote
Shakespeares line to confirm his distaste "I
love you not my Lord Biron; but why stop
to point out spots on the SUM-" Honest,
admirable Lamb His care for his parents
his noble devotion to his sister, his essays in
more than one respect unequalled, his
genuine taste for literature Then his COM
panions Who ever tires of thinking Of such
friends as Colerdge, Hazlitt, Wordsworth,
Hood, and Tafourd What memories do such
names conjure up Then we too remember
that if we had not their personal acquaintance,
that their works are as we'll known in this
country as in England. How every scrap Of
their writings and letters has been treasured
1t is by the study of such authors as these
that genuine, wholesome love for literature
is attained. This is part Of the company that
the late Mr.. Thackeray recommends his young
friends to keep. Keep the best company. By
that phrase he meant read the best authors.
Do not imagine you can always obtain access
to such company. You must early have been
introduced to them, if you imagine that you
can plod at money making up to certain age
and then sit down to enjoy such acquaiutances
You may find too late that the taste for such
society is wanting. 1t is only by cuItivating
this faculty at the age "when the heart pro-
missed what the fancy drew" that a store of
pleasure is laid up which lasts for life, peren-
nial source which will never fail.

WISE PREcAUTIoNs.-Th Sanitary Committee
Of the Board of Health on Wednesday reported
in favor of the appointment of two inspectors,
whose duty it should be to visit the drove
yards of our city and examine all the cattle
brought to our market. This is wise pre-
caution. Already there is becoming preva-
lent a feeling of uneasiuess which is not
warranted by the circumstances, but which
can only be allayed by the assurance that the
people can have none of the diseased cattle
sold to them by reason of official protection.
The money expended in this matter is Well
laid out, and if il gives conf ience and also
prevents danger, the people will not complain
t double the sum be spent.

ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-THE Senate took up the
message of the governor regarding the action OF
the Senate in declaring the seats OF the colored
members vacant. The governor protests against
the action Of the Senate as Unconstitutional and
in opposition to the spirit OF the convention which
frained the State constitution under the recon

the best judges Of the qualifications OF persons
elected to represent them, assuming that II all
