WHAT DO VOU BEAD? Thero were published in the United States in 1888, 5,621 books, and in the year just past 4014 books. Certainly we are a reading people But all reading matter, is not comprised within bound vol umes. There are more periodicals and newspapers published in tho United States than all the rent o! the world. W'c have books in end less variety, ranging in price from the penny pamphlet to the seven hundred dollar volume of Audu bon. All this amount of literature, it is commonplace to Bay, exerts a powerful influence in forming am' reforming the character of our civi lization. It is evident thatonecan read, even in a life-time, but a small percentage of a nation's liter aturc; indeed it is not necessary to compass this vast body of literature in order to be what the world calls accomplished. The bulk of the publications in this and perhaps other countries is of tho sensational type. Society generally speaking, no longer reads for edification, but for relaxation A morbid craving of tho intellect for stimulants has created a demand for condiments, rather than for solid food. This unnatural appe tite when once acquired unfits tho mind for grappling the weightier problems of sober, practical life, and tends toward effeminacy, if not imbecility. It was long ago pointed out by Hitchcock jn "The wonders of science compared with the wonders of romance," that Nature is far more bountiful than we think. The great Creator has endowed us with mental faculties capable of wonderful and illimit able expansion. He has likewise piacea us in narmony with our surroundings. The Almighty hand has been as bountiful in giving us an environment in which scope is given and limits arc set for the gratification of our faculties. a i liti-t A -Dook tnai uoes not euity or refresh tne mind will not pay for the reading. The mind is a vast storehouse and must be fed as well as the body. It is the opinion of metaphysicians that no. idea once lodged in the mind is ever forgot ten. now important that we store our minds with knowledge that will never call forth unpleasant memories. One of the best cduca tors in ihia country said, in .speak' ing of a theological course of study, that "twoyears spent in a scmina ry was of great advantage, if the student learned only what books to read." This is what is wanted; not an increased capacity for gath ering and retaining knowledge, but the faculty of selecting only such books as will enrich and strength en the mind. Be in no hurry to read every book that is published, regardless of its merits. It is not what one eats, but what one assim ilateH, that makes bone and tissue. A few cardinal principles well di gested and interwoven with the very texture of one's being, are better than the superficial gleanings of a lifetime. Reading merely for diversion or pastime will never add the cubits to your intellectual stature. . HOTICK.
