READING In these days, all men aud
women read something, but the trouble
is that by reading in single vein, which
so strongly appeals to their individual
tastes and personal indosyncrasies that
it is not study at all, they lose their
power to study anything else. The rule
for successful and profitable reading
would, iu the light of these facts, seem
to be to read only what one does not
like to read. That reading which costs
no effort and necessarily dssipates the
power of study, is that which we should
indulge in only for recreation, while that
which we know to be important in itself,
and in its bearings upon broad knowl-
edge and culture, should most engage our
time and attention. The trouble is, not
that we do not read enough, but that
we read so much Of that which simply
pleases us as to destroy our power to
read that which will edify and enlarge
us. There are many aspects in which
newspaper reading is preferable to much
that is considered essential to high cul-
ture. II is undoubtedly dissipaIing to
the power of study, but so is any other
reading which is pursued as passion.
1t has this advantage that it never de.
taches the mind from a supreme interest
in the affairs Of to-day. There are
studies which separate a man from hi,
time, which shut off his sympathies
from the men and the movements around
him. There is kind of dilettanteism
which 'rejoices in mousing in dark cor
ners for the curiosities of history or art,
which is wise about great nothings---
wise about bric.a. brac, wise about an
tique gems, wise about coins, wise about
classical antiquities, wise about old books
of whose contents it knows little, wise
about dead and useless things, and fool
ish enough to plume itself upon its wis
