Ours is called a reading community, and as far as news papers and flishionable periodicals and journals are conceded it is unquestionably so. lids of impor tance that we have our newspapers, by Winell We obtsCn the current intelligence of the day; and the light reading and novelty of fahcy Magazine! and pamphlets ton certain extent. is of unquestionable utility. But surely it must be acknowledged:gen erally, that this Is not enough—that something More Fetid and endurinf,eught to be induced . lrl form correct morals and habits, and to fit the mind forusefulnes4. To balance this defect, 'mini mixing us have, at consid.;rable expense, made an approx. : heath] towards a library and realized . the benefit thereof to ouraelreq and families, while we behold our means too liinited to 'coruplete the enterprise; an eliferprke which no:4g but social libraries eninple!e: Eeery township 'ought becattise its mor al and intellectual intore4s, demends it; have its wail a:sorted and hell regulated library..

Allow me tollmw a picture for your contempla :. tion. Suppose one hundred persons should each pay the moderate sum tif three dollars makingliai round sum' of 5300; with this suns from 150. to 200 volumes might be obtained. Let each pro prietor make - a draft for the specified •tim; and when the volume is introduced into his family, let 'him make it a - rule inviolable, to spend one hour at /east out of every t wentsdhur, in reading that vol. nme. Yes, let The labors;of the day, without doors and within, be so arranged, that the family circle may be formed at !m t. oue hour before retirement to rest, and let the volume be read by * some.one of the family, or by several in turns; while thecotheri hear. And I would propose that the hearers should at the samerime r net as cmttii isaeuraor prompter, to-correct the readers for nay defect or fault, that may be committed, either irrOcentuation, pronun: cation, emphasis, cadence orienunciatten ; togeth er with the freedom of remark and commentary on the subject, at the close of the exercise.
