BOOKS AND READING.

Reading is to the mind what exercise
is to the body.-Addison.
A home without books is like room
without windows.-Beecher.
To read without rejecting is like eat
ing without digesting.-Burke.
Books are the best things well used;
abused, among the worst.-Emerson.
Next to acquiring good friends the
best acquaintance is that of good
books-C Cotton.
Some books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested. Bacon.
Half the gossip of society would per-
ish if the books that are truly worth
reading were but read.-Dawson.
What is great love of books? 1t is
something like personal Introduction
to the great and good men of all past
times.-John Bright.
The three practical rules have to
offer are: u Never read any book that
is not year old; (2) never read any
but famed books; 81 never read any
but what you like.-Emerson.
