The first class of readers may be compared to an hour-glass, their reading being as the sand; it runs in and out; and leaves not a vestige behind. A second class resembles a sponge, which imbibes everything, and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third class is'like" a jelly-, bag, which allows all that is pure to pass away, and retains only the refuse and dregs. The fourth class may be compared to the slave of G-olconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless; preserves only the pure gems.—Coleridge.
