Job a Locke: Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company und reflection must complete him Those who have read of everything, are thought to understand everything oo it iu not always so; reading furnishes the mind only with the materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what are read orer. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load collections; unless we chew them over again, they will not give us strength and nourishment.

Among the English eooentnos of the first part of the century, was one Thomas Wlrgman, who, after making a large fortune as a goldsmith and silversmith, in Si. James street, London, squandered it all as a regenerating philosopher. Ue had paper made specially for bis books, the same sheet consisting of several different colors; and as he changed the work many times while it was printing, the cost was enormous; one book of 400 pages cost £2,170. He published a grammar of the five senses, whieb was a sort of system of meta physics for the use of children, and maintained that when it was universally adopted in schools, peace and harmony would be restored, to the eaith, and virtue would everywhere replace crime He complained much that people would not IbVon to him, and that, although bad spent nearly half a ecuturj in the propagation of his Ideas, he had asked In vain to be appointed professor in some university uolluge, "Nevertheless," said he, "while life remains I will not cease to communicate this blessing to the risiutj woild," Library Lecture.

Tho place will linger in the memory as well as the date. The time of meeting was 7 o'clock the chivalrous knights composing the club left business little earlier than usual in order to arrange their toilets and digestive apparatus for a glorious banquet.

Arriving at bis own domicile each masculine wae a trifle surprised to find that the partner of his joys and sorrows was net at home. Inquiry only served to elicit the statement that she had gone to A neighbor's to take tea. The respective benedicts made the beit of the situation In preparing for the rfcthering, hunted up their collar but- xms, neckties aud handkerchiefs, themselves, (or went without) and all reported on time at the home of their host, not, perhaps, as faultlessly tttired as hey would have been under witely supervision, but in good spirits and with that sense of independent importance that characterizes the benedict when escaped from domestic control. The reception room looked inviting; six square tables tastefully arranged, ready first for the banquet and then for the curdtf. The gentlemen seated themselves awaiting the advent of the viands and (doubtless) wishing that their better halves were enjoying as good a supper as they themselves were about to partake of.

All was serene and loyous, no hint of surprising revelations was in the air, when suddenly the doors opened and in marched a long procession of blooming matrons each one bearing a component part of the banquet; one brought tbe oysters, another the salad, a third the coffee, until twenty-four ladies had filed In and surrounded the tables, and strange to say each one of the unexpected guests was easily recognized by her husband. The efieot can be imagined if not described. Surprise and amazement overwhelmed the jolly benedicts. They had evidently been playing at a game they did not understand, and with the usual they rallied from their syncope they wel- eorued the ladies in such phrases as they could command, and humbly acknowledged that they bad been euchred at their own game. The game, however, was rather too sadden to be properly Well, matters quieted down after awhile.

The ladies bad already bean served with supper by Mrs. McKmney, and were now ready to serve their husbands, which they did with a grace and deftness never surpassed at the home tttble. After supper came cards in which, of course, all joined, "round" tables having been arranged in the opposite purlers to accommodate the Increased number and the evening was a merry one. Or. Garvin won the first prize, an elegant carving set, and Louis Haagen was awarded the consolation price, a.
