Too Much READING.--1 never
knew but ono of two fast readers,
and readers of many books, whose
knowledge was good for anything.
Miss Martine"u says of herself that
she is the slowest Of readers, some
times a page in All hour; but then,
what she reads she makes her own.
Sir Erskine Perry said that, in coM<
versaticn with Comte, who was of
the most profound thinkers in Eu-
rope, Comte told him that he read
an incredibly small number of books
these last twenty years-I forgot
how maryland scarcely a review
But then what Comte reads lies there
fructifying, and comes out a living
tree, with leaves and fruit. Multi
farious reading weakens the mind
more than doing nothing, for it be-
comes a necessity at last, like smok-
ing, and is an excuse to lie dormant.
while thought is poured in, and runs
through clear stream, over unpro-
ductive gravel, on which not even
moss grows. I do not give myself
as specimen, for my nervous ener-
gies are shattered by stump oratory.
lis excitement and reaction. But |
know what reading is, for I could
read once, and did. | read hard,
or not ut all-never turning aside to
more inviting book and Plato, Aris-
tottIe, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne,,
and Jonathan Edwards has passed
like atoms of blood into my mental
constitution.--F. ". BobertSon.

SmY1NG HoRsEs.-L. A. D. in the
Scientific american, says, that horse.
man should never "shy" himself,
when his horse SHES, or show tho
least nervousness. nor notice it in
the horse, and far less, punish him
for it. and adds:
Allow me, having had great deal
of experience in managing horses,
to add another bit Of advice to nerv-
ous horscmen. Whenever they
notice their horse directing his ears
to any point whatever, or indicating
the slightest disposition to become
afraid, let them, instead Of pulling
the rein to bring the horse towards
the object causing its nervousness,
pull it on the other side This will
instantly divert the attention of the
horse from the object, which is ex-
citing his suspicion, in ninety nine
cases out of hundred, the horse
will pay no more attention to the
object. from which he will fly away
if torcibly driven to it by pulling the
wrong rein.

INGENUITY OF A SPIDER.-I lately
saw wonderful sample ofingenuity
displayed by spider. One of my
friends used to shelter number of
garden spiders under large veran-
dah, and was much interested in
watching their habits. One day a
violent storm arose, and tho wind
beat SO furiously through the garden
that even though protected by the
verandah, the spiders suffered terri
bly,. In onc case one or two of the
guy ropes were broken, so that the
web tapped about like loose saili in
a storm. The spider did not attempt
to make new guy ropes, but had re-
course to remarkable eXpedient. It,
crawled along the ground to a spot
where were lying some fragments Of
q wooden fence that had been blown
down, the wood being quite decaycd.
On on one Of these fragments it at
tached its line, reascended, and
hauled the piece of wood after it to
Il height of nearly five feet, suspend
ing it by a strong line to its web.
The effect was wonderful tor the
weight of the wood was sufficient TO
keep the net tolerably tight, while it
was light enough to yield to the wind
and 80 prevent further breakages.
The wooden weight was just two
inches and halfin length, and about
the diameter of a goose quill. On
the following day Il careless servant
struck her head against it, and
knocked it down; but in few hours
the spider had found and replaced it,
thus proving that the occurrence was
not accidental. After the stormy
weather had ceased, the spider
meuded the web, cut the rope. and
let the wooden weight fall to the
ground.
WHERE THE MONEY GoEs.-The
Washington Digest publishes a list
of names, among which are Grant,
Stevens, Sumner, Wade, Schenck,
Sherman Sprague, Butler and other
leading Republicans, whose aggre-
gate wealth is assessed at $734, ,660, 900.
Before the war, the wealth of these
same Radical patriots was 81 OPT 900.
The Digest says:
"They commenced the Radical
war with million of dollars. They
have run tho Government into debt
two thousand six hundred millions
Of dollars, and have pocketed for
themselves over R1- six hundred
million dollars -Isa which they
hide from taxation, and demand pay
