MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Written for Moore’s Rtiral New-Yorker. 
A WORD ABOUT BOOKS. 
Colonel Mobley, in Bulwer’s story of “What 
will he do with it?” tells Lionel Haughton that if 
a man would always keep up with his century he 
should, in youth, associate with his elders, and, in 
age, seek the society of the young. What if we 
adopt a similar rule in our reading, and study the 
best authors in youth, leaving juvenile and second- 
rate productions for the entertainment of our 
old age? 
One of the greatest injuries a habit of reading 
ordinary and inferior books does us is to make us 
afraid of better ones. “A great writer no doubt; 
but his words are not for me—too deep—speaks to 
a higher class of minds than I belong to”—is a way 
we are apt to fall into of depreciating our own un¬ 
derstanding and excusing ourselves for neglecting 
authors whose thoughts, whether from their unu¬ 
sual reach, or their quality of close concentra¬ 
tion, or from some oddity of expression are not 
instantly intelligible to us. Shall we, then, read 
only such books as we can easily understand? That 
would often be to shut ourselves out from associa¬ 
tion with the first order of minds. Let us, rather, 
take courage, and study carefully the book that 
seems so formidable, and understand what of it we 
can, (it cannot happen that any book will be wholly 
impenetrable,) then read it again, when we shall be 
surprised to find how much clearer our insight 
into the author’s meaning has become; and if, on 
finally leaving it, we have the satisfaction of only a 
partial acquaintance with the writer as revealed in 
his work, we have gained far more than if we had 
spent the time in devouring a dozen ordinary books 
the contents of which are level with or beneath 
our capacities. 
One whose judgment on such subjects is above 
all question, in answer to a request for advice as to 
a course of reading, says, among other things:— 
“Read every book that you feel a real desire to 
read.” But shall we never read books for which 
we have no decided inclination? Do not persons 
who successfully cultivate a taste for oysters and 
tomatoes finally enjoy them as well as they who 
relish them on a first trial? Many of us can re¬ 
member when it was a task to read Poetry, or His¬ 
tory, or Philosophy, or some other branch of Lite¬ 
rature; and if we had indulged our dislike, never 
making any effort to overcome it, what a source of 
pleasure and profit we should have rejected! It 
happens, in many cases, that authors to whom we 
are most indebted for improvement repel us on 
first acquaintance. Perhaps we accuse them of 
intellectual haughtiness and self-sufficiency because 
they merely offer their ideas, descending to no 
jockey arts to persuade us of their justness; or, we 
pronounce them cold and unsympathetic because 
we miss, among the effects of their words on us, 
the fine exaltation that the eloquence of our favor¬ 
ite writers excites. When we grow wiser we learn 
to be aware of conjurers’ tricks—to distrust au¬ 
thors who create in us artificial states of feeling— 
aud we no longer give them credit for doing us a 
great deal of good when they have only beguiled 
us into a transient glow. After this we shall pre¬ 
fer writers from the perusal of whose books we 
can rise as cool as we sat down—writers who are 
too conscientious to try to win us from our sobrie¬ 
ty, and who, if they strengthen, do it without 
stimulating. a. 
South Livonia, N. Y., 1858. 
A WORD TO YOUNG TEACHERS. 
Repeated observation has proved conclusively, 
that too much ardor is a common fault with young 
teachers, more particularly, perhaps with lady 
teachers. The young lady has looked forward 
through many years, to the era when she may be 
prepared to take charge of a school. The happy 
time has come, and her dearest wish is to be a good 
teacher,—to gain a high place. She engages in her 
duties eagerly—laying many fine plans, without 
even dreaming that she may not with resolution 
make them effectual. She must be a first class 
teacher—nothing less will satisfy her ambition, and 
in her innocence, she deems that all is pending on 
her “first school;” that will decide her reputation. 
So she commences, ardent and hopeful, and if the 
improvement of her pupils were proportionate to 
her ardor, in one short term they would pass almost 
from the alphabet to fluxions, or through what it 
has taken her many years to acquire. But very 
soon ardor becomes impatience because her schol¬ 
ars do not learn. She is anxious to see their im¬ 
provement from day to day, and as she cannot, she 
tires of her employment, and perhaps abandons it 
after one or two terms, though she may have pos¬ 
sessed all the elements of a good teacher save pa¬ 
tience and perseverance. Now to such teachers 
we would say—let your ardor be well-tempered 
with patience, and perseverance be united with 
energy, remembering that it is steady, persevering 
effort that will insure success. Look for the im¬ 
provement of your pupils back through weeks, 
in some instances through months of time, if 
you would have it perceptible. The All-wise has 
so ordered that education enters the mind slowly, 
very slowly it seems to our short sighted vision; 
but it is good that it should be thus. And oh! 
teach patiently, constantly, and the reward will 
certainly come. The improvement will be evident 
after many days. 
Learn a lesson from the rain of heaven. The 
soil of the earth is dry and parched, but the sun’s 
rays are now absorbed, and the darkening clouds 
promise rain. But comes it down violently—at 
once? Oh, no. The shrouding mist first comes, 
then very small drops, so finely and gently that you 
can scarcely see that the dusty soil is even damp¬ 
ened ; but look again after some hours—the surface 
is so thoroughly impregnated with moisture, that 
it will absorb large quantities of water—then heavy 
rains falL So with the youthful mind. After much 
gently falling instruction it is prepared for deep 
draughts of knowledge. 
Let your leading motive be, then, a sincere desire 
to benefit your scholars. Seek for them the 
gentlest, plainest, pleasantest pathway up the rugged 
hill; and be assured your reputation will not suffer 
in consequence. And be not discouraged though 
you may repeat the same to a school for forty-nine
