MR.. DANA ON THE BIBLE.

What books ought you to read
There are some books that are indis-
pensable-a few books. Almost all
books have their use, even the silly
ones, and an omnivorous reader, if he
reads intelligently, need never feel
that his time is wasted even when he
bestows it ON the flimsiest trash that
is printed, but there are some books
that are absolutely indispensable to
the kind of education that we are con-
templating and to the profession that
we are considering, and of all these
the most indispensable, the most use
full, is the Bible. There is no book
from which more valuable lessons can
be learned am considering it now
not as a religious book, but as a man
uel of utility. of professional prepare
tion and professional use for jour
nalist. There is perhaps no book
whose style is more suggestive and
more instructive, from which you
learn more directly that sublime sim
plicity which never exaggerates,
which recounts the greatest events
with solemnity, of course, but without
sentimentality of affection; none
which you open with such conf
dence and lay down with such rever-
ence. There is no book like the Bible.
When you get into controversy and
want exactly the right answer, when
you are looking for an expression,
what is there that closes dispute
like verse from the Bible? What is
it that sets up the right principle for
you, which pleads for policy, for
cause, so much as the right passage
of the Holy Scripture From Lee
ture on 1.-The Art of Newspaper Max

THE MOST HORRIBLE MOMENT.

We were discussing moments of su-
| preme terror, and each of us had CIV
en- his most thrilling experience, when
his heart had come the nearest to
standing still-getting off its beat, as
it were-and it had got to be Cooper's
turn.
Almy had told of the time he fell
over the precipice, and was only saw
ed from being dashed to pieces by
clutching dandelion which grew ON
the brink, and Bowen had related how
he drank from bottle, the gift of
New Jersey friend, in the dark, and
for Il moment thought that he had tax
en- nitric acid through mistake. Acer
had given a graphic description of the
cold chills which had run over him,
and the sudden, awful faintness when
he went out to dinner in full dress, and
discovered as he entered the dining
room that it was only $50; and l had
lived over for their benefit my expert
ences of jumping from a locomotive
just as it crushed into the side of a
swiftly moving train.
Cooper had sat silently smoking I'M
til the last, and after his turn had
come he remained for some time ap-
parently deep in thought. At length
ne said: "Gentlemen, l have no
doubt that each of you has given,
thoughtlessly, perhaps, what he con-
siders his supreme moment of terror,
but knowing all of you as l do, the
joys of your home lives, and the trials
of the head of a family, you will par
don me if l say that think that you
have made mistake Is it possible
that none of you have ever been
aroused at two o'clock in the morning
by your wife's solemn statement that
there were burglars in the house, and
that while you were cropping your way
nervously across the room through the
horrible darkness to light the gas, you
have none of you ever set your bare
foot suddenly ON the baby's little hol-
low rubber doll, which whistled when
compressed?"
For moment there was solemn
silence, and then we guilty wretches
bound together by the common tie of
fatherhood, arose, shook hands SYM
pathetically with each other, and took
Cooper out and bought him some
thing.

SATURDAY, AFTERNOON,

/ love to look on scene like this,
or wild and careless play,
And persuade myself that am not old,
And my locks are not yet gray:
For it stirs the blood in an old mans heart,
And makes his pulses fly,
To catch the thrill of happy voice,
And the light of pleasant eye.
have walked the world for four score years
And they say that am old
That my heart is ripe for the reaper death,
And my years are well-nigh told.
1t is very true-it is very true
am Old, and "bide my time -
But my heart will leap at a scene like this,
And half renew my prime.
Play on. play on ! 1 am with you there,
In the mist of your merry ring;
/ can feel the thrill of the daring Jump,
And the rush of the breathlesS swing.
/ hide with you in the fragrant hay,
And whoop the smothercd call,
And my feet slip up on the seedy floor,
And | care not for the fall.
l am willing to die when my time shall come
And | shall be willing to go
For the world, at best, is u weary place,
And my pulse is getting low
But the grave is dark, and the heart will fail,
In treading the gloomy way
And it wiles my heart from its WEAKNESS
To see the young so gay.
