Good Books to Read.

GOO0 BOOKS TO Henu.
To the Editor:
I esteem Il q peculiar pleasure to comply with
the request Of d. Roberta to have some OF
your readers name q dozen books which would be
most useful and Instructive to q young man or
woman" Your correspondent makes q very
laudabls request. He asks for information upon
one OF the most pertinent and important themes
OF the age: a question which Bacon would re-
gard as coming home TO mems bosoms and busi-
ness" Fortupnately there are more than "a DOZEN
good books, although there may be myriads Of bad
ones. The books which would recommend to
Mr.. Roberts are those which have come down to
us with the approval and admiration Of centuries;
books which were written to instruct ages. whose
contents dwell upon almost everything useful 10
man. and which could be placed In the hands
of any rational or discerning person. as mediums
OF pleasure and instruction. They are the books
written by Plutarch. Montaisne Shakespeare.
Bacon. Milton. Pope. Gibbons. Macauiey. Scott,
Carlyle. Dickens. Emerson and Holmes. They
are designated a. standard authors" or them
Pryde terssiy declares: They form certainly one
Of the greatest blessings that have been bestowed
upon poor perpisxed readers. They are like noun
tains rising sheer In the midst OF . dat land
scape. and catching and presenting to the world
the imposing CLEANS and splsndors Of heaven.
They are like weli-ordered gardens, containing in
one romantic spot the choice vegetable produce
OF the whole cline. They are real nxed stare
in the abyss Of time. abaxe with heat and
splendor. and the other authors are but planets
shining with light borrowed from them. They are
kings by divine right the great representatives
OF the human race. endowed specially with a wis.,
dom from on high. and commissioned with an
authority which cannot be gainsaid. to sway the
hearts OF the multitude" The same writer con-
tnuing says: Having mastered them. we have
mastered in a concentrated form the whole Of
English literature" p. DE CASTfLLON.

procured. and a broth made for some
hollow-eyed woman or pale little child.

shoes that have been thrown aside 10

that claims to eradicate the trouble:
First wipe Off gently with a soft cloth
all surface water and mud: then. while
still wet. rub well with paraffine oil,
using flannel for the purpose. Set them
aside till partially dry, when a second
treatment with oil is advisable. They
may then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place. where they will dry grad
ually and thoroughly. Before applying
French kid dressing give them a final
rubbing with the flannel still slightly
dampened with paraffine and the boots
will be soft and flexible as new kid and
be very little affected by their bath in
the rain.
