The Rustic Ahead.

DR.. John Brown of Bedford told good
story some time ago at a reception given
him by Boston gentleman. He said
that the English rustics are sometimes re-
garded as rather feeble-minded, and no
very promising persons for ministers to
work among, but they once in a while
show native shrewdness by no means
TO be despsed. One of them one day,
leading his donkey, was met by sports
man, well dressed and equipped, who
halted him with the request:
"Nhat shall 1 give you to have a shot
at that donkey ?"
ION, don't shoot the donkey" drawled
the rustic; "let brotherly love continue.''

The book fetch is worshipped by
librarians Of the smaller Libraries.
They exert themselves to preserve their
books invioate, and TO repress whatever

Of the larger ones, that make them
Golgothas to real book lovers. Every
body knows what it is, and how it chills
the intellectual marrow of all but the
most determined and the most callous.
Suppose ahbrary was handled in such
manner as would give its substance
the most freely to the people; the books
respected only for what they are
capable of giving, and compelled to do
their full duty. Such library, though
small, might easily be made the con-
trolling fluence in its town or village.
The true librarian has two-fold duty:
to force books To perform their part, and
to force mems minds open TO receive the
message of the books. The Office should
be filed by man or woman intent upon
this duty, and subordinating The care Of
books wholly to it.
Books should not be covered, but their
individuality emphasized. They should
be free OF access. kept in close touch
with readers. Railings and counters and
bars OF all kinds should be abolished.
The Librarian ought TO be able, and it
ought TO he his chief duty, to introduce
books to readers; to exploit them; 10 talk
about them apprsciatively; to inspire
people with their spirit; TO aid TO their
understanding; TO fuse their message
with the readers appreciation and needs.
1t ought TO lie the librarians Office to
