Edward Everett Hale wrote New
Years article on how to read books.
He has been investigating libraries and
he finds that the first volume of Sc
ries on history or science is generally
pretty well worn, the second less so, the
third not so much damaged as the Sec
Ond, the fourth in better preservation
still, and the last volume generally as
good as new. Mr.. Hale detects in this
state of things a series Of good resOlu-
tons broken. Many attempt the course
of study, few are faithful to the end.
The suggestion given in this article is
for a club of say three to take up, for
instance, one of Macaulay's Essays.
Each is to read the essay and jot down
on slip of paper any thing that is not
understood, and these jOttings can be
conned over and discussed at weekly
meeting of the three.
Every town has its mean man, and
ours was no exception to the rule. Enus
Smuggs, our next door neighbor, was
remarkable for his closeness and invent
i've genius. The other day he wanted
to purchase a ton of egg coal, and, bor-
rowing the morning paper from us, he
read it till he found out where it could
be bought for the least money. The only
thing that troubled him was how to get
it into his back yard without any labor
or expense. There was large alley
way between our houses which led to
Enus's yard, and when the coal ar
rived he opened the door, and walking
up few feet he drove an old broom
stick into the ground and put large
bottle on the top. He was waiting in
the yard with shovel in his hand when
three small boys came along and opened
fire on the bottle with the pieces OF
coal. In half an hour the sidewalk was
cleared and the coal safely slowed away
in the shed, and then old Enus, grinning
from ear to ear, sold the bottle to q junk
man.-Danbnry Ne,cs.

Advice to n Young Man.

My son, if you have fallen into the
custom of the land this January, and
-" sawed off =" on all your bad habits; if
you have "dropped on" all manner of
fermented or distilled conviviality; if
you have made up your mind that you
will be good boy this year, and pay
less for billiards and more for pew rent,
and that you won't have any but ''hOn-
est" headaches; if you have determined
to cultivate taste for good reading and
elevated conversation, and a hatred for
shady stories and peep-O'-day parties
you can do it in the simplest and easiest
way in the world. There is nothing
complicated or intricate or difficult
about it. To paraphrase Horace Gree
ley, the way to do it is to do it. Don't
s.swear off," my son. That won't help
you bit, and you will want to break
your oath every time you think of it
and all the time you don't think of it.
Don't rush out with public and private
and social confessions. Don't pride
yourself on your Observation-Disclosures
the world is so full of better men that
you don't count for a cipher on the right
hand of the decimal. But Just simply
quit. just stop it. just be honest
with yourself. and then you will be hon.
est with the world. And when you get
to be honest with yourself, my son, you
will be surprised to find what good
fellow you are. You will like yourself.
You will want to shake hands with your
self and pat yourself on the back, and
call yourself "old boy" and be on
familiar, friendly, "Tom and Bill !"
terms with yourself. But so long rs you
are not fair and candid and honest
with yourself, so long as you make q
promise on the first of January, and
break it on the second, you will hate
yourself, you will be ashamed of your
self, you will seek any society to avoid
the rebuke of your own presence. So,
be good to yourself, my boy. Be honest
with yourself. and if you made any
promises on the first Of January, stick
to them if you have to go out Of society
and live in a cave. Keep them, if you
break trace a hundred times day.
Be honest with yourself, and by the mid
die of June you and your conscience
will be so satisfied with each other, that
you will want to run yourself for Presi-
dent.-Buriington HaUkeye.
