How to Read.

The first step to be taken in self-im-
provement is to try as. hard as the self
teacher can to understand every word
he reads, and, asa consequence of this,
to put aside all books and all writer's
that he cannot understand. Such books
burden and fill the mind with useless
lumber. Such writer's themselves, too,
it may be added. do not always express
clearly what they wish to convey, and
therefore are obscure, wordy and dry
to the humble student. The duty of
the self-educator, therefore, is to seize
eagerly that which he does understand,
and to nourish his mind with it, and to
reject that which he cannot compre-
bend, to defer it till he shall be able to
master it. How to read book is a
much heavier task than many take it to
be. From careless readers we have now
many careless writer's but where the
book is good it deserves to be well
treated. One may take it also as fact,
that the reader really takes up a book
to use it, not to gallop through it. 1t is
well he should know what he is about ;
that he should read and think over the
| title-page, acquaint himself if he can
with some little history of the author,
some hint as to whether he is trustwor-
thy or biased Then he should carefully
read the preface and master the idea
that the author had when he wrote the
book. He should then glance over the
contents, look at the subdivision of
chapters, and finally read the book if he
choose to do so. This, which may seem
roundabout way to some, is in reality
the shortest way. Some books, says
Lord Bacon, are to be tasted, some read
and digested. Suppose the work is of
the common class, without any thought
in it. The self-improver will save all
his time by preliminary study often
times the title will tell him all he
wants to know; more often, the title,
the preface and table of contents will
assure him that he has little to learn,
and he will put aside the book and pass
on to worthier food. For books are
like men, sometimes their prefaces and
addresses are by far the worthiest parts
of them. AS the reader progresses in
his studies and gains in experience, he
will find that there grows up to him al,
most an intuition, by which, he can tell,
in very few pages at least, bad, emp.
ty and pretentious book from one that
will inform and render him. wiser.

Agricultural Colleges.

It is well-known that connected with
Harvard university is a department. of
agriculture, magnifcently endowed,
known as the Bussey school. This
school has been duly organized, having
it's corps of accomplished instructors,
with lecture-rooms and laboratories, and
all accessories for imparting instruction,
but it is without students. During the
young woman have "thronged the
there seems to be no decided indication
of an increase of students at present
The corporation of the university are
puzzled to know what to do with this
foundation. It has means enough, and
room enough, but where are the stu
dents? To teach agriculture or horti-
culture after any of the rules of the
schools is a difficult undertaking, and
must result in failure. Why shall we
deceive? why shall we cover up? why
shall we not tell the truth? Our agri-
cultural colleges are failures all of
them. The difficulty lies not so much
in the honesty and capability of those
who are endevoring to conduct them !;
the plan, the idea, the claims, are
founded IN error, and the sooner this IS
acknowledged, and a revolution effected,
the better it will be for the interests of
practical agriculture. We clearly I'M
derstand that in thus taking decided
ground against the schools of agricul-
ture, so called, which have been estab-
lished under congressional and state
aid, we disaffect a considerable number
of highly esteemed friends but while
we are sorry for this, we cannot smother
our convictions, or hesitate to declare
the truth. The colleges are not failures
from a want of students in all cases, but
from the fact that they do not aid or
promote the great interests of practical
husbandry in any sensible degree. AS
educational institutions they may be
well enough, but as agricultural col
leges' they are failures. Boston Jour-
nal of Chemistry.

The Relation of Worship to the Inter
1act

Tt is certain that worship stands in
some commanding relation to the health
of man and to his highest powers, so as
to be, in some manner, the source OF
intellect. All the great ages have been
ages of belief. | mean, where there was
any extraordinary power OF perform
ance when great national movements
began, when arts appeared, when heroes
existed, when poems were made, the
human soul was in earnest and had fixed
it's thoughts on spiritual verities, with
as strict grasp as that of the hands on
the sword, or the pencil, or the trowel.
It is true that genius takes its rise out
of the mountains of rectitude that all
beauty and power which men covet are
somehow born out of that alpine dis
trict: that any extraordinary degree of
beauty in man or woman involves a
moral charm. Thus, think, we very
slowly admit in another man a higher
degree of moral sentiment that our own,
a finer conscience. more impressionable,
or which marks minuter degrees an
ear to hear acuter notes of right and
wrong than we can. I think we listen
very suspiciously and very slowly to
any evidence to that point. But once
satisfied of such superiority, ives ct no
limit to our expectation of his genius.
For such persons are nearer to the Sc
cret of God than others, are bathed by
sweeter waters they hear notices, they
see visions, where others are vacant.
We believe that holiness confers a GER
tain insight, because not by our private,
but by our public force, can we share
and know the nature of things.-R. ".
