SIN Reading what SHAH we Avoid9"
EDITED BY THE W. c. T. Z.

The following article was prepared and
read before the Y. w. G. 7. U. by one OF
the young ladies, upon this topic
The press like many other gool things
has been subsidized by the devil. One tells
| you to read poetry, and then there are D ets
| las Byron and Swinebune) whom you should
not read; and Burns, for part of whose
works you will be better, for part worse.
Some novels are our teachers, some our de-
stroyers. History is commended to you;
and some histories are written in the in-
terests of superstition, iutdelity or vice.
What shall we do? Let us have some rules
for our guidance that we may not gather
poison. To begin then never read that
which instead of adding to, takes from our
M antal or spiritual strength. Do not let
your reading be a succession of examples in
subtraction but in addition to our inner
life. Never read book that robs you of
your earnestness nor that high quality of
reverence without which there can be no
truly elevated character. Never read what
You are ashamed to be seen reading, the in
stinct to hide is your hearts own condem-
nation. Keep your eyes open to danger.
Do not read from curiosity what good peo-
pie have condemned; the world is wide and
we cannot investigate everything, and last
ly do not read everything you see in all
insane desire to be called ii great reader,
be rather a thorough reader. Ruskin has
said, Il know many persons who have the
purest taste in literature, and yet false taste
in art, and it is a phenomenon which
puzzles me not little; but L have never
known any one having false taste in books.
and true taste i'll pictures" 1t is also of
the greatest Importance to you, not only for
arts sake but for all kinds of sake, in these
days of book de|uge, to keep out of the
salt swamps of literature, and live on e lit
tie rocky island OF your own, with spring
in it and a lake pure and gooa. 1-cannot,
of conrsa, suggest the choice of your library
to You, every several mind needs different
books; but there are some books we all
need. Avoid hat class of literature
which has a knowing tone; it is the most
poisonous of all. Read little at u time, try
ing to feel interest in the little things, and
rea,ling not so much for the sake of the
story as to get acquainted with the pleasant
psople into whose company their writers
bring you. A common book will often give
you amusement, but it is only a noble book
which will give you dear friends.
Are you deficient in taste read the best
English poets. such as, Thompson, Gray,
Goldsmith, Scott aud Wadsworth; in i'm
asination, read Milton, Burke and Shake
spear; in powers of reasoning. read Bacon,
Chiilingworth AID Locke; in judgement and
good sense in the common affairs of life,
read Fr4nklin; III sensihliity, read Goethe
and Mack enzie; in political knowledge,
read Webster and Calhoun: in potrotism
read DemDsthenes and the life of Washing
ton; i'll conscience, read some Of President
Edwards works. B.

Another View OF the pest"

To the Editor Of the Dispatch
| did not intend asking for space
again in your valuable paper, but can
not let this grass question be passed

said.

best grass for the droughty South, and

pay as hay crop.

To-Day's Convention.

The Agricultural and Industrial Con-
vention, which meets in this city to-day
will be noteworthy assemblage, and
promises important results. The call
for the Convention has been heartily
responded to throughout the State by
the election Of delegates from almost
every county, and the character of these
delegates is guarantee of intelligent
consideration of all questions that may be
brought before them. The body will be
thoroughly representative Of the agri-
cultural and industrial interests Of vir-
ginia, and necessarily its proceedings
will be fraught with interest to larger
class than were the proceedings of any
similar body that has ever before assem-
bled in the State. There is, in fact, not
an interest in the State that may not ex-
pect to be benefited by the Convention.

A Suit Which May Reveal the Story OF
Doc" wilson's Sudden Wealth.
A Providence Or. H. special to the
New York Times says 4 suit has just
been brought in the United States Dis
trict Court Of Massachusetts, by Levi d.
Wilson. Of this city. against Philip l..
Moen. of the firm of Washburn & Msen,
the millionaire barbed-wire msnufac-
turers of Worcester. The wrltiSreturn-
able May 18th. The sum sought to be
recovered is 100000, and through this
suit a mystery, which has resisted all
efforts at solution for three years, is 10
be unravellcd. In July, 1852, Levi d.
Wilson was arrested on two warrants
issued by hattie A. Engly and her
iather-the one charging a breach Of
promise to marry, the other the scduc-
ton Of Miss Engly. Both writS called
for $4,000 damages. They were set
tied very quietly.
For long time Wilson'S sudden &C
QUESTION of wealth caused great spccu-
lation, and the story of his ex-
PLOTS was detailed at length in the
Times in August, 1882. 1t was
said that he had but a short time
before this been a spinner in a mill.
and then a hostler. To the surprise of
his friends. he began to receive checks
each month for 10000 at a time,
/, II ,la -. Mr
MOen. Iii; possessions soon accumulated
to about $500. goo. He owned $50, 900
worth Of diamonds and gave SupperS
which cost $50 plate. When under
arrest Wilson was urged by newspaper
men to disclose his secret. but he de-
clined. One assertion III explanation
of the mystery was that while a poor
spinner he started to walk from North
Uxbridge to Worcester. and on the way
discovered a hut, in which was sick
man. who was Moen's son, and that
Wilson was given piece of twisted
wire by this person, which he took to
Worcester and delivered to Washburn
d Moen. who made fortune out of
the device under the named Of barb
ed wire also that Wilson went to
Europe with the young man, who was
said to be a fugitive from justice.
Neither Wilson nor WaShburn 4 Moen
would deny or admit the truth Of this
or any other statement concerning their
business relations. The story that
Wilson had wealth galore was proved
by the fact that he gave trust deed Of
100000 worth Of property to his
bondsman, and had $4,000 worth Of
securities with him at the county Jail.
This present suit hinges upon the pay
ment Of money to Wilson, and will ex-
plain Why he, poor young man. was
so suddenly made rich. Developments
are promised later this week which
will be very sensational.

was shown . report to-day that he was
not going to enter upon his duties until
the question of his disabilities was set
tied. lie acknowledged that his par
don from President johnson was not re-
inforced by special act Of Congress, but
he denied that he was allowing that
fact to interfere with his movements.
lie intends to present his credentials to
President Disz on May 18th, and rest
content under the senatorial confirma-
ton of his sppOintment.-Spocia' TO
New York World.
Mr.. JACKSON has a good endorse
msnt in the vote Of the Senate con-
frming bis nomination. But if Mr..
GARLAND, q member Of the Cabinet
and the Presidents official adviser,
should find that Mr.. JACKsON's disa-
bilitics disqualify him for holding office,
what then would be the new Minister'S
status?
The fact that Mr.. GARLAND has not
been able in two weeks time to come
to a satisfactory conclusion upon this
question of disabilities is pretty good
evidence that the question is one Of
great difficulty.
