A strange Ambition.

We know OF some young people who
hay. a strange ambition to be consider
ed great readers" They do not use
the word great in reference to what
tury ! 4arn by reading, but in regard to
the number of books and pages they
re a. They are not careful as to the
quality Usually this class of readers
select the poorest quality, because they
eau get though with il quicker. Indeed,
they will some time boast of the rapid
ity with which they can read book, as
toough it were an occasion OF honest
lrid read whole volume at one
sitting. They forget that it is not the
amount Of reading which benefits one,
tu the quality and the manner in
VII ch the, book is used ,-some get more
good from page than others from a
volume.
What would be thought OF one who
should boast of eating everything set
before him without any reference to the
wholesomenes of the food To eat
large quantities of even wholesome food
would be very unwise; to eat all sorts
OF food is a greater folly still. Somt
would call such man glutton or ;
gormandizer: others would call him ;
pig.
Be select in your reading; read only
what will do you good, and try to ge
all the good out of it you can. Hav
an ambition to be a thorough reade
rather than rapid ones. 5. Class

A New Version.

When Damon, who was red-ribbon
man, had the ague, Pythias used to sit
up with him all night, and take his
bitters for him. And Damon used to
lend Pythias his razor to cut his corns
with. They borrowed money of each
other 'measureless times For nearly
two years they belonged to the same
choir and never had a row. They used
to meet at Darling's grocery and tell
each other funny stories about the
neighbors whilr they browsed out of
the cracker barrel. They were always
careful of each others feelings. Py-
thia, had foot like snow plow, and
his boots used to trighten the cattle,
but Doman always prof-ssed to admire
it, and used to sigh and say, "Oh, Py-
thias, if only had such foot as that
I'd marry some girl that could support
me out of her own income But Py-
thias would smile and say he was not
proud if nature had built so much Of
him on the ground that he always fell

A Suggestion in Regard to the Bay
ara Taylor PrOpe ty.
West Chester News.


In conversation with a gentleman
from Kennett Square, in the course OF
remarks upon the Bayard Taylor prop
erty he said that he feared the estate,
when sold would go at sacrifice. He pro-
posed the following disposition should
be- made OF the dead poets home:
That a popular subscription should
be taken up over the entire country fol
the purchase of the property and the
endowment of home for the education
and care of the orphans of literary peo,
pie. The house would afford comforts
for at least fifty children, while the ex.
tensive farm would 60 far toward pro.
viding sufficient support.
No part of the country is treer from
hurtful influences than the neighbor
hood of Kennett, and, if this plan is a
all feasible, it should receive care
full consideration. The property EN-
braces over 200 acres of land, ant
more could be joined to it if needed.
The location is a beautiful one, anc
the handsome residence and grounds
surrounded as they are by the memo
ries of one of the greatest literary work
ers any country has ever known, seen
to add to the propriety of this PROPOSE
tiOn.
