WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO READ ?


The long winter nights are coming. Towns
and cities are full Of young men whose educa-
ton has been very limited-youug men of
good manners, of fair business capacities--
who are seeking their fortune, but who have
not learned that intelligence aud integrity are
the indispensable conditions Of influence, Of
happiness, and Of success.
What plans have you, my friends for this
winter2 Business will be attended TO Of
course. Perhaps, in addition, the prospect Of
several parties, a ball or two, the skating
rink, give a cheerful perspective. Or you
may be Of a sober turn and you have a win
ter laid out in which your leisure time is TO
be filed with meetings and benevolent labors.
In either case what do you propose in re-
gard to reading or study2 Are you educa-
ting yourselves ? DO you regard books as
uecessaries Of life or as luxuries
A young man ought to arrange as SYSTEM
atically for reading as he does for eating.
Every year there ought to be the account Of
books finished and mastered
Newspapers and magazines have their own
place, and indispensable uses-but they are
not substitutes for books. And books them
selves are to be classified and wisely chosen.
Novels and light literature, taken sparingIy,
furnish wholesome recreation and sound
knowledge, But history, travels, biography
works on science criticism, arts, mechanics
should be the staple Of your selection.
1t ought to offend the respect Of young
man to spend whole year without having
mastered single new book. He may be i'm
proving in business tact and in that knowl-
edge which comes from miugling with men
he may be growing in wealth and skill tC

I in far enough. They do not touch where

TEA IN TARTAR TINT. - had taken
the procaution to bring an empty bottle, and
paper of needles. which we Immediately
presented to the good woman Of the tent
We had not long to wait for gratitude to
show itself Putting large eauldron over
the fire, she threw in some tallow, and after
this had melted, poured in a quantity of wa
ter, to which, as soon as it had begun tc boil,
was added a liberal quantity of tea with salt,
aud small pieces of the fat of sleeps tail.
When this was done and handful of parehed
millet sprinkled over the surface, the good
woman served it up in wooden cups, putting
into each one a lump Of cheese about the size
of an egg. We stood almost aghast, fright
ened at the hospitable offering which our
presents had called forth and, indeed, de-
cooton of tallow, tea, fat, salt aud cheese is
certainly formi liable compound for west
ern palate. But Notwithstanding the epithets
with which we reyiled the mixture, in Lam
guage fortunately uninteligible to our host
ess, the cups were repeatedly filled, and as
often emptied. Before we had left Mongolia
this Tartar tea had become favorite bever-
age with all Of us.-Prcf Pumpely.

ANSExArIoN or BRIrisn NoRru AMERICA.
1t is understood n project is on foot look
ing to the appointment OF joint commission
by Great Britain, the United States and
Canada, to consider aud report upon equitable
terms for the annexation Of all British North
America to the United States. The adyan.
tagcs which would accrue to ourselves from
such a union are too obvious to need recapitu-
lation; and no serious opposition will arise
from Great Britain. The principal difficulty
in the way will come from the feeling excited
across the border by the scnseless and patron
izng tone in which too many American dema-
gogues on the platform and in the press speak
of Canada. The Canadians naturally do not
relish the idea of annexation by brute force
the way an anaconda annexes a rabbit, the
way the Romans annexed their Sabine wives
but our friends in the Dominion may be
assured that such thought is as foreign to
the minds of all genuine Americans as it is
unsupported by precedent in the history OF
this country. Since the United States were
a nation they have purchased Florida, Louis-
ana, California aud Alaska; but they have
conquered no territory, Texas, the apparent
exception, having come in voluntarily aud be-
longing to tham by right, with its existing
boundaries. Every American statesman breads
the expense of a war; and moreover, forcible
annexation Is contrary to the principles of a
government which proclaims that its just
powers arc derived from the consent Of the
governed. Other objections on the part OF
the Canadians are--the unsettled finances of
this republic, its elective Judiciary, its want
Of responsible Cabinet, aud the fear that
Canada would not got its due share Of the
patronage Of the general government. All
these matters are proper subjects for the con-
sideration of the commissioners who may be
appointed by the three Powers Interested
