There is perhaps no greater wonder
than a book, lty the help of charac-
ters and figures, placed upon some
available material, men have been
able to transmit their thoughts to
succeeding generations through many
centuries.
The names and history of things,
the deeds and events that occurred,
as fur back as the time of Adam,
have come down to the present time.
Even those abstract and invisible
thoughts, whijh inspired the writer,
and have since inspired others, are
put down in letters or figures, and
thus made eternal.
The song of David, the sublime
grievings of Job, the speculations of
Plato, the visions of Homer, have by
these means, been faithfully trans-
mitted and distributed among mau-
kind.
Every reader, who holds a book in
his hand, is free to the inmost mind
of the writer. He needs no intro-
duction to the greatest; he stands on
no ceremony with them. Without
permission from any one, he may
hear Rtirke perorate, Johnson dog-
matize, Scott tell his border tales,
and Wordsworth muse upon the hill-
side.
The first intellectual task of our
age, is rightly to order, and make
serviceable, the vast realm ol printed
material that four centuries have
produced.
To organize our knowledge, to
systematize our reading, to save out
of the relentless cataract of ink the
immortal thoughts of the greatest;
—this i a necessity, unless the pro-
ductive ingenuity of man, is to lead
us, at least, to a measureless, and
pathless chaos.
A Welsh triad gives the three
final intentions of literature:
Incieasc of goodness,
Increase of understanding,
Increase of delight.
There is an art of reading. It is
! not enough that people should be
I advised to read, but they should
know now to read and what to
!read.
We often speak of reading, as if it
were always the same thing, but, no
one, after consideration, will main-
tain, that it is possible, or even nec-
essary, to read "The Proverbs of
Solomon," and, "King Soioman's
Mint s," in the same way.
Always read the preface to a book.
I You thus see the point of view,
| from which the writer takes his pic-
I lures, and are placed on vantage
ground, which enables you to survey
more completely the contents of the
|i, l.o >l<.
\\ e should read with a clear, un-
I prejudiced mind, with candor and
industry. Truth lies deep and must
be diligently sought. A school-boy
may know that Bohemia is not on the
sea-coast, but, it requires a reader of
i, [ line mind, and, cultivated intellect,
j. i to appreciate the vernal beauties,
that lie scattered about in Shake-
speare's "Winter's Tale."
We must not read to waste. Pho
bee docs not overload himself with
the nectar of (lowers, but, takes what
he can carry away, and stores up for
future use, considering quality rather
than quantity.
To read any and every book that
a complete scheme of education.
A life-time will not suffice to know
the gieat masterpieces of man's geu-
ius. Do not shut the eyes to them
for the sake of the straw and litter,
that the multiplication of books has
thrown across our paths.
The great books of the world we
have once read; we take them as
read; but, to how few are they the
daily mental food! For once that
we take down our Milton, and, read
a book of "that voice" as Words-
worth says, "whose sound is like
the sea," wo take up Itfly times a
magazine with something about
Milton's grandfather, or a book Idl-
ed with curious facts about the
houses in which he lived and the
trivial infirmities of his first wife.
When I see persons forgetful of
the perennial poetry of the world, 1
think of that wonderful scene in
"Pilgiim's Progress," where the
Interpreter shows tliu wayfarers, the
old man, raking in the straw and
dust, while he will not see an angel,
who offers him a crown of gold and
precious stones.
'l'heie is an exltilaralive in the
thorough study of noble literature,
which gives tone and courage to the
mind. The famous novelist, Oeo.
Kliot, said it was her wont to seek
inspiration for her writings, by dally
intercourse with the good and great
writeis of the past.
"The modern univerisity," says
Mr. Carlyle, is a well selected libra-
ry." It Li a university in irhicli all
man (ii'iuluate. It is a home which
stands above the pain and stress of
misfortune's hour.
For the reading of good literature
is its own reward, and, none but
those to whom that reward has been
given, can properly appreciate tlic
priceless influence of tliu habit of
daily communion with the great and
good of all ages.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG-
According to a decision of tin
Court of Errors and Appeals uf tin
State of New Jersey, property owners
need not permit telegraph poles,
telephone poles, and electric light
poles to be placed on the highways
In front of their property without
due compensation. Corporations can-
not set their poles in the night time
or at any other time when they can
take property owners unawares and
thus secure n right of way. They
must obtain the consent and agree
with the property owners as to the
rate of compensation, or, if they cai -
not agree, they must go to court and
have the issue adjudicated there.—
Scientific American.
During the next Confederate re-
union will you publish iu tho Post
this "In Meinoriam" of the flag fol-
lowed so bravely? Though written
more than thirty years ago, as it is
sublimely true now as then. Its au-
thor was Harry L. Flash, of Galves-
ton :
Four stormy years we saw It gleam,
A people's hope—ami then refurled,
Even while its glory was the theme
Of half the world.
The beacon that, w ith streaming ray,
Da/zled a struggling nation's sight —
Seeming a pillar of cloud by day,
Of lire by night.
They jeer, who trembled as it hung,
< 'omet-llke, blazoning the sky —
And heroes, such as Homer sung,
Followed it to die
it fell -but stainless as It rose,
Martyred, like Stepcu, iu the strife;
I'assing, like liiiu. girdled with foe*.,
From death to life.
Fame's trophy, sanctiflcd by tears!
Plauteil forever lit her portal,-
Folded, true what then ' Four short years
Made it immortal.

The next time a traveling peddler
calls at your door and tries to sell
goods sensibly remarks 1111 exchange,
ask him if he will take your butter,
and other farm products; a*k him if
when your neighbors get ready to
build a new road bridge over the
slough, if he is willing l" donate a
few dollars to help it along. Tell
him of a poor family down the road
who would be thankful if he would
donate a few provisions. Ask him
if lie wiil contribute to an enterprise
just starting. If lie agrees to all
these tilings patronize him. Your
home merchant will do this an 1 much
more.
