The Art Of Seeing

In every day life it is much more i'm.
portant to be an acurate observer than
a mere book learner. | have frequent
iy seen the latter made to blush for
her deficiencies by the most unlearn-
ed, says a correspondent in an English
contemporary, for in a contest be-
tween eyes and no eyes, eyes have
generally got the best of it. Nature
has given us such an inexhaustabie
store of interest that those who go
through life without .'seeing" lose
much of the zest of it. The savage
who necessarily depends on his keen
eye and his quick ear, c~ultivates those
faculties in an extraordinary degree;
for does he not sec indications and
hear sounds which to an observer
would be utterly unintelligible? SO
also with all persons who live neal
the heart Of nature. The English
shepherd, while perhaps ignorant OF
the very formation of the alphabet,
stores up a fund of interesting know
ledge derived entirely from observa-
ton. He a give you simple, inter
esting astronomical facts which might
astonish n scientist, as well as trust
worthy information on natural history
ant even botany. One may possess
everything in the way of scholarship,
buff she or he have that alone, those
who are unlearned but observing will
often make them feel very small. i
would. therefore, urge my readers to
cultivate the art of seeing or obserrias e
there is nothing like seeing things toI
ourselves. Our ideas become fresher,
more natural and moro in unison WIN
latter-day tastes when they are forn,'
ed from observation. Natures bo0s
is the one wherein we find the richest,
the most varied and the most ines.
haustible subjects for thought.
