The Value OF knowledge.

knowledge better than houses
and lands is the title of one of the
first books presented to children, and
it is the substance of ten thousand
precepts which are constantly dinned
into their ears from infancy up
wards. 1t is a truth that should new
er be forgotten.
Those who most constantly bear 1t
in mind and who purchase books
with an eye to future benefits, accu-
mulate more than fair share of
this worlds goods.
With the single exception of a
good conscience, no possession can
be so valuable as a good stock of
general information.
When we speak of information we
do not mean that merely which has
direct reference to ones trade, busi-
ness or profession. A thorough
knowledge of ones business or pro-
fession is not enough in itself to con-
stitute what is called a well-informed
man.
On the contrary, one who possess
es this kind of information only, is
generally regarded as a mere ma
chine, unfit for society or rational
enjoyment.
A man should possess a certain
amount of liberal and scientific in
formation, to which he should always
be adding something as long as he
lives.
Keep a thing seven years and you
will find use for it. is an old motto
which will apply admirably well to
any branch of knowledge.
Learn any branch of science, lam
guage or art and you will find 1t of
use to you.
Employ that leisure which others
waste in idle and corrupting pursuits,
in the acquisition of those branches
of knowledge which serve to amuse
as well as instruct, and you will new
er regret it. Natural history, chem
istry, astronomy, electricity, or any
of the kindred branches of study,
will be of practical benefit to god,
and the knowledge gained By their
study gives one quiet self-confi-
dence, an ease and self-possessi IN
that stamps him as a person OF good
breeding in any society.
If asked what book we considered
best for the general reader, we would
unhesitatingly recommend the fire
side University" by John McGovern.
We would recommend 1t for the pow
er and beauty of its language, as
we'll as for it's practical value to the
reader.
