PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.
The passions, when rightly directed,
are the wings and sails of the human
mind.
Genius cannot exist in mind in
which there is no passion to serve as
fuel to feed its flame.
Cold hearts and dull heads usually
are found in company with each
other.
Reading is the most instructive,
entertaining and lnoffensive amuse-
ment we can follow. 1t withdraws US
from vice, dissipation and low COM
pany, and ipsures us a more lasting
pleasure than any other pursuit Is
able to communicate.
Books are never surly, quarrelsome
and out of temper. They neither
tlatter nor abuse US, slight nor back
bite us, nor grow sick and petulant.
If young men wish to command es-
TEEN and respect, and to occupy a
higher rank than dandies and dudes,
they must devote every spare moment
to the reading of useful books. The
mind will grow till sixty.
There are minds, which grow, sens.
IDLY, up to sixty, because they are en-
riched, plOughed, bowed and cultivat-
ed by reading, for the sake of amuse-
ment and knowledge.
Again, there are minds that make
no more progress than blind horse
in tread-mill. They are stagnant
and stationary-taking no new IDEAS,
and catching no new glimpses of old
ideas, simply because they are too
lazy to read book.
Lord Bacon remarked that "read-
ing made full man." it may have
done so in his day, but at present
beer and whisky make "lull man."
There is no other breed of full men"
left-they are plentiful.
Nine tenths of the citizens of San
Antonio are Ostraclsed from office

consider an oligarchy of wire workers,
intent only on perpetuatIng itself in
