Relative to lectures and lecturers, we would say that as a rule we do not like itinerant gabbists. We are of those who are of opinion that to be a good lecturer soll‘lctlling more is requisite than mere gift. of the gab. A tougucy fellow is oftimcs a rattlcbraiu, whose chief recom- mendations are good lungs to act as bellows, or he is like a full blown bladder which is fillet] simply with smoke. To our mind the great re- quisites to a really useful lecture are, first, that the lecturer should tl‘it'lrol‘lgllly understand the subject of which he tr3uts; and, second, he should be able to explain and elucidate his theme in an attractive l‘rlanuer. \Vllel‘c ' both these are col’rlbilled we say we have a good lecturer. As to the subjects to be treated. of, they are irluull'tcrable.~â€" The earth under our feet, and the ll ‘avcus above us, and the wide and populous ocean, are all full of in- struction; so that a lecturer can scarcely fail of selecting interesting subjects to discourse on; so that those who wish to instruct us have a Wide field to select. from. But, in col'lncctiuu '~.‘»'ilh this subject, we would urge upon all the necessity of attending, for there is nothing more provoking than to talk to empty benches; and not only so, but we must remember that own if some of u are. not young men, still we have much to learn. The. exâ€" cellency of wisdom is very far from abidinlr cvcn with the oldest or a: best of us.

Knowing the value of standard works, we frequently wonder that so many should waste. their time in the perusal of what an. eminent writer has styled “drivilliug non- sense without end.” if the proper study of mankind is man, the last places to applv for .examples are in novels and ro- mances!

Fictitious works are in a great measure perused by the young. As men grow older, they lose that relish for them which they had in their younger days. They have learned by experience their entire wortlllessncss, and forsake them, but the danger is that by this time the mind may be so Vltrated ,thut it has no inclination to a higher standard of literature.â€" Having, while young, perused so many fancy sketches whilst. the I mind was unfurnishml with ideas, the principles unfixed, and before judgrrleut had begun to extend its sway the effect has been injurious, and the mind remains unsettledâ€"â€" low much better would it. be to store our minds with knowledge which will be of advantage to us l in afterlife, rather than tracing an imaginary hero through imaginary scenes, and then as is often the case, have to depend on our own imagiâ€" nation for his finale. The plea is sometimes urgeddbat light reading is necessary to relax the mind after the fatigues of the day.

A sage once said, that “ a great book was a great cull.” \Vhen works of il’nll‘loral tendency are in question, we would go further and say, a multitude of books are a multitude of evils, of the making of such there seems: to be no end. Happy would it, have been for this generation if the millions of fifty- cent novels, which are scattered broadcast over the country, had shared the fate of many better works. in the selection of reading mat~ [or let (ltll youth choose only such as combine instruction with en- tertainment; and if novels are read at all, let them be of the best stamp, by authors whose aim is to raise the standard of morality, and to be- nefit. their readers.
