How to Read.

| Thomas Wentworth HgginRon says, in
q recent number of the W0n,a2s's Joan'nal:
I was once called upon to prescribe intel
! leotually for q young girl of fair abil 5ics
who showed no want of brains in converse
ton, but had perfect Indifference to books.
She read dutifUllY and torpidly whatever
was set before her-novels, travels, history,
all were the same; each page drove out the
previous page, and her memory was a
blank. Her parents asked me to teach her
to read; she joined in the request, and |
consented to the experiment, on condition
that she would faithfully read single book

be pronounced; but at least there must be
one sentence of remark per chapter From

s4o* Judge Davis sscame ejch.

Judge Davis, OF Illinois, is a rich man
The public may not know how he became
wealthy Abont thirty-tive wears ago.
when Judge Davis was a practiciug law
Yer IN the West, he was empoyed rs 4
Connecticut man to collect $500 Davis
went 10 the place where the debtor livne.
and found him to be rich in landed pos
sessions, but without q spare dollar IN
money. He finally settled the bin by giv-
ny deed for a tract Of lant!-a fiat,
moist and undesirable piece OF land IN
appearance, lying close bY q sheet oi
water, and consisting Of perhaps 90 acres.
Davis subsequently met his Connecticut
client in st. Louis, when the latter (who
seems not to have possessed the usual
Connecticut shrewdnessl fell to aud rave
him regular blowing up for taking
the land rather than insisting upon the
$500 in cash; he didn't want any OF your
Western land, and he told Davis that hay
ing accepted il in payment for the debt,
he had better keep it himself. and pay
over the money out Of his own pocket
10 this Davis agreed Stepping into ii
friends place OF business he borrowed
$500, took the Connecticut mans receipt
for the land, and held the land for q rise.
That piece of land now forms part of one
OF the suburbs OF Chicago. Judge Davis
| has sold two or three hundred thousand
dollars worth of it, and has nearly mil
lion dollars worth left. 1t is q striking
| example of what the possession of West
| ern property has done for its holders; and
| as the story has never before been printed
| we thought it would be interesting enough
to publish. Hartford Times

Palestine

The Jewish Times bears important testl-
mony as to the manner in which the Hebrew
people now regard the land Of Palestine.
There has been a loosening Of old ties, o dis
caraIng of old beliefs, among them, and they
no longer stand ready at any moment TO 60
as pilgrims into that land. The hope OF an
ultimate restoration has died out The Time
was when all their property was portable
such as at short warning could be sold. AT
present there is no hesitation among them 10
investing In real estate. Three prominent
Isrselltes-Professor Gratz and Messrs. Levy.
Potzln and Gottschalk-have just returned
from the Holy Land, and, says the Times
their report is "an additional argument
against the folly OF encouraging the emigra-
s,lon of the Jews 10 a country which has no
ssother claim than that of a valuable monu-
.sment of the past" There are now about
sixteen thousand Israelites living in Palestine,
and .stheIr average state OF culture Is much
'.below Thai of their Acknowledgements IN
sEurope. They have no visible means OF sup
"port, and spend their time In idlenesS, pray
sing and Talmud reading" The report further
suggests "lhe general elimination from all
"JewIsh prayer-books OF the portions refer
ssrinp to the hopes Of Israel 10 the restitu-
s.tlon of the Holy Land to the possession OF
.sIsrael, and the rebuilding Of the temple by
s.the Divine Providence" On the other hand,
four hundred rabbits have rendered a decision
that the omission of the prayer for the advent
of The Messiah and the restoration Of The
sacrifices would be equivalent to a denial OF
tho faith

The Poems and Life OF the Late Henry
TImrod.

a complete edition OF Timrod's Poems,
with an interesting Biography by Paul H.
Hayne, Esq, will be issued about the lst
of December next, from the firm OF +. J..
Hale & Son, New York.
The work will be published by subscrip-
ton, and an active canvasser has, We under
stand, been already engaged for this city.
1t seems hardly necessary to urge upon
our community the claims of such q writer
as Henry Timrod. He was q MAJ OF deli
cate yet vigorous genius, OF high culture as
an artist, and, more than all, he was a
genuine patriot, in whose verse the fame OF
our South is embalmed forever.
For this reason, il for no other, let our
people show that they appreciate bis ser
vices, and are determined to reward them.
Although the poet himself has passed
from earth, his widow and sister still sur
yiye; but in circumstances so Strengthened
that ALL the proceeds Of the present edition
of his works should the edition prove q
success) will be given to them.
Impoverished as 80 many OF the citizens
OF Charleston are, they will not hesitate,
we trust, to extend their aid in a case which
appeals at once to their sympathies and
pride.
