BRUSSELS MIt/-0OANOCS' IIIBRARY. To the Editor of Two Poem. ROAR Sm.—I desire through the midi• um of your widely react paper to give my impressions, and thoughts (oncoming the above Institute, of which, by the way, I have been a member, with few intermis. sions, for the past fifteen years. Tho membership fee of one dollar a year I consider a mere nothing in oomparisou with what can be gained by reading, dur- ing spare time, one or another of the many hundreds of books that are in the library. A great writer has said "That there is nothing more wonderful than a book." In hooka he says "lion the soul of the whole past." With him we quito agree, for all that mankind has done, thought or seen is found in the pages of books. I sometimes wonder why it is that the membership roll is not very much larger. Why is it that people for Miles around, even suppose they all had libraries of their own, do not take advan- tage of the Institute which affords so many benefits for so little money ? There is no reason why Brussels should hot through her library become a eeoond Boners. We Rresumo you often think so too, Mr. Editor, as you have brought the library before the notice of the public on two or three different occasions of late but your means of still furthering thio end we do nob agree with. 'You want to be too aristocratic at the beginning, al- though perhaps not intentionally. We will now take a section of Grey and Mor- ris, within a reasonable distance of Brus- sels, all of whom are much closer than I live, together with Brussels, and I ven- ture the 'statement that there are not more than one in ten who know 1st, That there is a library in Brussels ; 2nc1, What building it is in ; Brd, The days and hours it is open ; 4411, Whab the 'membership fee is : and 5th, How many oar loads of good and rare books there are in the library. Here is where a grave mistake is made all along in not keeping the Institute prominently before the people. The section of Grey that I speak of should furnish at least 75 members, Morris the same, and Brussels as many as both, if the merits of the library were placed be- fore thein. A number of periodicals and magazines might be placed on the tables. I know whereof I speak when I say the library is not a money 'snaking scheme for anyone. New books are purchased from time to time and the Salary of the librarian is not exorbitant. We would like to neo our neighbours, our cousins, and our aunts) become members, as we feel certain they would be more than pleased. There ie reading matter there to suit the tastes of every one. Now is a good time to join, and now is a good time to let all people know kiln whys and the whereabouts of the library. Yours, &n„ A ME;nnnn 01O\l 'r,u, UOUNTnr. None uv EmTos.—We aro pleased that OM above subject is once more brought before the public and we cheerfully give place to the following facts ooncorning the Brussels Mechanics' Instituto Li- brary :—The Library is over Mrs. F. O. Rogers' store, entrance by hall imme- diately south of above mentioned store. Miss Shaw, the a000mmodating Librar- ian, inay be found there from 6 to 8 p. m. on Wednesdays and from 5 to 8 p. m. on Saturdays of each week, the extra hours on Saturday being for the spode' a000mmodalion of persons outside of Brussels. 21.00, in advance, pays for a whole year's reading without any extras. On the shelves are 258 volumes of Biogra- phy ; 219 Fiction ; 173 History ; 300 Misoellaueous ; 48 General Literature ; 45 Poetry and Drama ; 99 Religious Literature ; 221 Science and Art ; 187 Voyages and Travels ; and 32 works of Reference.
