WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 13, 1873.
The Habit of Reading.
The following, which we take from
.•Horae and Society” in Scribuor’s fer
August, wo commend to all —particular-
ly our lady readers:
“I have no timo to read,” is the com
mon complaint, and especially of women,
whose occupations are such as to pre
vent continuous book perusal. The)’
seem to think, becauso they cannot de
vote as much attention to books as they
are compelled to devote to their avoca
tions, that they cannot read anything.
But this is a great mistake. It isn’t the
books that we finish at a sitting that do
us the most good. Those that we de
vour at odd moments, half a dozen
pages at a time, often give us more sat
isfaction, and are more thoroughly di
gested than those wo make a particular
effort to read. The men who have made
their mark in tho world have generally
been the men who have in boyhood
formed the habit of reading at every
available moment, whether for five min
utes or five hours.
“It is the habit of reading rather
than the time at our command that helps
us on the road to learning. Many of
the most cultivated persons, whose
names have been famous as students,
have given only two or three hours a
day to their books. If we make use o
spare minutes in the midst of our work,
and read a little, if but a page or para
graph, we shall find our brains quicken
ed and our toils lightened by just so
much increased satisfaction as the book
gives us. Nothing helps along the mo
notonous daily round so much as fresh
and striking thoughts, to be considered
while our hands are busy. Anew idea
from anew volume is like oil which re
duces the friction of tho machinery of
life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as a
stimulus to action, and becomes one of
the most precious deposits iu the treas
ury of recollection. All knowledge is
m ade up of smdl parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which, taken together, are valuable wea
pons for the mind and substantial armor
for the soul. ‘‘Read anything continu
ously,” says Dr. Johnson, “and you will
be learned.” The odd miuntos which
we waste, if carefully availed of for in
struction, will in the long run, make
golden hours and golden days that we
shall be ever thankful for.
Modesty.— The Rev. W. B. Spragno,
in some advice to his daughter, has the
following paragraphs, which it will not
injure young ladies to read and treasure
up:
“There is one point, my daughter,
which is too important to be omitted; I
refer to the deportment which it becomes
you to maintain towards the other sex.
The importance of this, both as it re
spects yourself and others, you can hard
ly estimate too highly. On one hand it
has too much to do with forming your
own character; and I need not say that
any lack of prudence in this respect even
for a single hour, may expose you to
evils which no subsequent caution could
enable you effectually to repair. On
the other hand, the conduct of every
female who is of any consideration, may
be expocted to exert an influence on the
character of every gentleman with whom
she associates, and that influence will be
for good or evil, as she exhibits or fails
to exhibit a deportment which becomes
her. So commanding is this influence
that it is safe to calculate upon tho char
acter of every community, from know
ing the prevailing standard of female
character and that can hardly be regard
ed as an exaggerated maxim, which de
clares that“woman rules the world.”
“Let me counsel you then, never to
utter an expression or do an act, which
even looks like soliciting a gentleman’s
attention. Remember that every’ ex
pression of civility to be of any value,
must be perfectly voluntary; and any
wish on your part, whether directly or
indirectly, expressed td make yourself a
favorite, will be certain to awaken the
disgust of all who know it. ”
Beaetttci. Sentime-vt.— -One pound of
gold may be drawn into a wire that
would extend around the globe. So one
good deed may be felt through all time,
ard cast its influence into eternity.
Though done in the first flush of youth,
it may gladden the last of a life, and
form the brightest and most glorious
spot on it
Key "West receives a mail every thirty
days.
What mi Old .Man has Noticed.
I have noticed that qll men are hon
est when well watched.
I have noticed that purses will hold
pennies as well as pounds.
I have noticed that merit is always
measured in the world by its suc
cess.
I have noticed in nearly all tilings
money is the main object in view.
I have noticed that in order to boa
reasonable creature it is necessary at
times to be right down mad.
I have noticed that some men arc so
honest that necessity compels them to
bo dishonest in the end.
I have noticed teat whatever is right,
with a few exceptions—the left eye, the
loft log and the left side of plum pud
ding.
I have noticed that he who thinks ev
ery man a rogue is very certain to see
one when he shaves himself, and he
ought, iu mercy to his neighbor, to sur
render the rascal to justice.
I have noticed that the prayer of ev
ery selfish man is“ Forgive us our debts,”
while he makes everybady who owes
him pay to the utmost farthing.
I have noticed that all men speak
well of all men's virtues when they are
dead, and that tombstones are marked
with the epitaphs of tho good and vir
tuous. Is there any particular ceme
tery where bad meu are buried?
Taut. —Love swings on little bingos.
It keeps an active little servant to do a
good deal of its fine work. The name
of this little servant is Tact. Tact is a
nimble-footed and nimble-fingered ser
vant. Tact sees without looking and
has always a good deal of change on
hand; tact Citrries no heavy weapons,
but can do wonders with a sling and
stone; tact never runs against a stone
wail, but always finds a sycamore tree
up which to climb when things are be
coming crowded and unmanageable on
the levol ground; tact has a wonderful
way of availing itself of a word or a
smile, or a gracious wave of the head;
tact carries a bunch of curiously fash
ioned keys, that open all kinds of doors:
tact plants its monosyllables wisely, for
being a monosyllable itself it arranges
its own order with all the familiarity of
friendship; tact, sly, versatile, divining,
flying tact,governs the world, yet touches
the big baby under tho impression that
it has not been touched at all.
A writer in the New York Financier
says that the difference between the cost
of narrow gauge railroad and ordinary
four feet eight and a half inch gauge is
rather more than most people imagine.
There are now fifteen narrow-gauge rail
roads in operation in the United (States,
having seven hundred miles of track,
and there are no less than twenty or
ganizations and 1,250 miles under pro
cess of contraction. The roads have
been planned and constructed in the
past two years. The cost through a lev
el country is about SIO,OOO a mile, in
cluding equipment of rolling stock,while
the broad guage costs from $35,000 to
$40,000 per mile.
Refined Homes. —Bays the New York
Nation : “Refined homes are the end of
civilization. All the work of the world
—the railroading, navigating, digging,
manufacturing, inventing, teaching,writ
ing, fighting, are done, first of all, to se
cure each family in the possession of its
own hearth ; and secondly, to surround
as many hearths as possible with grace
and culture tml beauty. The work of
all races for five thousand years is rep
resented in the differences between a
wigwam and a lady’s parlor. It has no
better result to show.
The New York Commercial says ; “A
morning paper publishes a Boston sen
sation relative to the failure of H. I.
Kimball, containing a list of his cred
itors. The failure referred to occurred
about two years ago.- In the list, the
house of Henry Clews k Co.,is stated to
be a creditor for $1,000,000. This is an
error, as the amount involved is only
about SIOO,OOO, and this is secured by
abundant collaterals. The Pittsburg
Locomotive Works, mentioned in the
same article, are also amply seemed.”
Dr. Edward Warren, late professor in
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
Baltimoi’e.Md., has been selected by the
