Reading.

Reading seems TO be the life Of the
age. tits INDUCED by all ranks of
society. 1t is passtime for The un-
occupied; recreation for the mind,
and company for the lonely. 1t is
the great thoroughfare of life. Yet
we often hear the question asked:
Why is it that We have SO few good
readers2 We do not intend to give
what we think the only reason, las
there are several but what we think
is one of the reasons why we have
no more good readers. When we
consider the amount Of time devoted
to teaching reading in onr common
schools, the question becomes one of
easpropriety. Nearly, if not quite,
one half of the time allowed teachers
is devoted to reading. The higher
classes in reading recite twice, and
sometimes mere, each day, while the
lower classess read, read, from be-
ginning to end. Bat it Is the higher

Presid ent Grants Message.

We publish this important docu-
ment in Supplement. We like it.
From beginning to end it bears the i'm
press of an honest heart, and, in a
plain, practical manner, discusses the
great questions of Finance, Recon
struction, new Indian Policy, &c.
There is no doubtful meaning about it.
1t is clear and vigorous, and its views
will meet with a hearty and cheerful
response from every true lover Of his
country.
Upon the Tariff question the Presi.
dent is eminently wise. lie does moi
favor reduction at present. 1t is an
easy way 10 raise revenue, and, though
it might be proper TO modify the tariff
in instances where unjust or burden.
some determinations are made, still a
general revision, with the aim of lower
duties, should not be undertaken until
our financial wants are better appre-
hended. The tariff is needful to both
our industrial interests and for revenue,
and self interest, if not self preserva-
tion, admonishes us against any radical
change in that direction.
The President does not favor an i'm
mediate resumption of specie pay
ments, as he thinks it would work a
great wrong to the debtor class. Here
in he is wise and practical. He has a
thought for the individual as well as
for the Nation, and, while working to
place the latter on the high road of
progress and solyency, still he would
do it in a manner so as not TO leopard
ize the material prosperity of the for
mer. The country viii thank him.:for
his wise suggestions on this important
subject.
So, throughout the whole message,
in every question discussed, in every
suggestion made, there is found evil
dence OF true craftsmanship, in that ev
cry thing is clear, wise and practical.
Read it. and we think you will agree
with Us, that the country has reason to
rejoice that we have such man as Gen.
Grant at the head of the Nation.

F The celebrated French priest,
PERE HYAcINTHE, lectured in New
York. last week, in aid of the French
Benevolent Society. His subject
was "the Government of Life" He
concluded his address with these
true words:
s.In modern society celibacy exists
for the sake of God, but these excep-
tions, if you make it rule, are
against God and against nature.
Celibacy is cowariice if it does not
glorify marriage. The Apostles
have said marriage is honorable.
Marriage is spotless before God and
men. The great object in view is
the reconciliation of heaven and
earth, and of the present life with the
future, and to secure union Of earth,
union in the city, in the nation and
in humanity, was the thought of Je
sus Christ The foundation of your
people is the Bible, the book that
speaks Of God. the living word of
Jesus Christ In an admirable man.
ifesto from your President there
shines through his words the Chris
tian faith. A belief in Jesus is at
the root of this nation. May Jesus
Christ protect your country, and de-
velop it. Old Europe is preparing,
amid strife, for unity and religious
and material prosperity; and when l
return l shall tell Europe that have
found liberty associated with Chris
tianity, and have been among peo-
pie who do not think that to be free
they must be parted from God"

~ Kentucky elects U. S. Sena-
tor this week, and there are a number
of gentlemen seeking the position. One
of them, Mr.. Golladay, presented his
claims for the place. one evening last
week, in an extended speech TO the
Legislature. AS Kentucky is what is
called Democratic, and as this candi-
date for Senator is of that stripe, his
utterances are valuable for reference,
and as showing the drift Of that party.
Upon the question of debt be said:
The present national debt was dis
honest, and therefore without moral OBJ
legation. 1t was unconstitutional,
therefore without legal claim. The
bonds were on par with debts due
the faro dealer Neither was there
any principle Of law justifying the
transfer of our immense debt to pos
terity.
That is clear and explicit. We like
the mans candor, but We abhor his
doctrine. But Democracy in Kentucky
has another hobby:
He considers the party in power as
having repudiated the value of two
hundred millions of dollars worth ol
slaves due Kentucky. He would never
vote a dollar 10 pay the bonded debI
so long as Congress refused to pay the
stealage from his State. He believed
that three-fourths ofthe people of Ken
tucky were with him in his views oi
that.
How do you like that kind of De-
mocracv?

per has been guilty of allowing the
pencil of Mast to show up the ridicu-

therefore, in consequence Of the
immense circulation Of the Weekly,
these artistic sketches are to be

is accused of coarseness-the same
accusation was hurled at him and

it is the coarseness, so often found
associated with a bold, blunt, and
fearless delineation of truth; and the
truth embodied in q picture has SO
disgusted the ecclesiastics Of the

him the "nasty sketcher." Such Z
miserable pun is worthy only of one

weaver has only to change the Pins in the
Treadle Wheel to make the different kinds OF

of this Loom, that no other has, the weaver
can make as much or as little of the Shed

goes back; or, it can all be made as the Baton
comes forward, for the purpose OF weaving

By this arrangement, the filling is always
beat up after the cross is made, making Det-

by the open shed, because. it prevents the e.

taken offense at the Uereldnd Herald
for its stern rebuke of the course Of
the late A. ID. Richardson, in his in

the murder-it does not directly
