Of two young then of equal capacity, suppse the one occupies himself for a cer tain period in light readimg of a miscella neous character, and'tlre other devotes the same time o die vigorous study of one or two works, ventsiring close attention and continuous thought, such as Butler's Anal , ogy, Smith's Wealth of Nations. Lock's ! Essay nu the Human Understanding, or Mills' Logic, the amount, of intellectual lbenefit derived by the two will be greatly in favor of the latter. The former will have gained merely a crowd of heterogene ous impressions, lying'in confused masses in his memory, like thothreads and patch es of a rag bag, while the other will have been through au athletic course of mental discipline, by which every faculty is invig orated. Beware of the wan of one book, says the Latin proverb. He knoWs no more than that, but that he 'knows thoi= oughly. Let me. commend to every young !min who hears we, to fetal, the habit of reading with a .. delinite object, and with concentrated attention, and Hot to 'roam over a library as one strolls through a garden, pitching upon books beeauso , there is something taking in their titles, or beettusetheir •contentslave:an look as we turn over, the leaves. Be con tent to be ignoraot ,in'soure things, in or der that you may know other things. well. It is better to know everything. Study, says Cicero : and no man ever had a bet ter right to define study than he,. for no one over studied harder ; it is the intense and assiduous occupation of the mind, up plilM to some sunjeet with earnest good will. One hour of such study is worth day of listless dawdling over a shell of books.—Hillard. Ancient Costume.

All. -at once ahp went, towards a lounge, but had. , hardly seated before she wag seized I with a lit Of trernbliiii,"so Violently that she Was alarMed. 1 She immediately hurried to the cham ber of her little' son,where, %be air. seemed } 1 clearer, and sat down with him until: she; ' felt better. She then' 'returned to the . room, thinking she' wodi4 merely rasa on the outside of her bed, brit no sooner had she touched it than she again encountered a shock of, the nerves, Added to a horror that altneit overpowered liar. Scarcely krictiVing what she did, she Bent fora male friend (she Was alone.) Two . persons came. immediately,' and 'going 'to the chamber the door. was found fastened on thb inside., It was burst open. Marks of great hurry wore observable, a long sharp bladed knife lay under the couCh. and the search ended in the discovety of a huge , . murderous negro, who had ooncoaled himself to rob, perhaps to kill. The. I.oly had in hor room a largo sum of money. • 'rids second case was related by a gen tleman : ' A friend who had notbeen for ye,arit nut of his own house later than ten, was in duced .to stay with him till after twelve. His 1640 bad also left fur his inpeetion a very curious knife which he huff bought at auction, and on which ho had just mark ed ttie, initials of his name. After he had gone, our narrator. pondered on the strange netts of the circumstances. He tholikht how singular it was that a Man so gener ally punctual sbotild so fur infringe upon his unvarying rules. But soon he • grow drowsy and sought his bed, but tbo• meat he laid down• he seetned to hear the click of a pistol, and started up wide awake. Ho searched every parr ef the room.a.s . ho thought, and again lie esssuyed to lie down. Clicking he imagined, went the pistol again. Covered with perspirafiotid for the feeling was very vivid nod horrible, he sprang upon the:ffoortbe second time aud.stood then, viten there Caine such a terror over him that he hurried from the chamber, calling for. help. Ina moment help came: No one was there but a pistol had fallen, by the win dow, which was thrown' open. . and groans were heard. outside. Looking down a height of forty feet, a quivering body could be seen by moonlight. The would-be as sassin bad sprung, therefrom father than to betaken, probably not ostiniating ' thou distance. Now,' but for this impression, so strong as to defy even the most minute search, (the thief was hidden between tho bed and the wall,) the gentleman would prob ably have been murdered, tho knife left by•bis friend idontified, and (the einem-. stances of his habits universally known.) considered sutfcient proof of his guilt. and he :► most estimable gentleman and citizen would-in his innocence have expi ated his evident crime by a most violent and disgraceful death. • • A Mts'ABLE Niuoutt.—My friend ask ed Autheny [to; a superb engine driver, on the Ohio river, how he pante to . gut trek? “Why. llassa Vincent, my health was very bad when I was in Kentucky ; could'ut do„no kind of work; I was very feeble ; 'twits jes.as wuch as I could do to hoe my oWn. garden and eat the, sass ; and the miscue' that' Tined we see that I was a mis'able uigger 7 .one of the wisa'ble kind.
