NewsDoDers.-A correspondent of the
philadelphia COmmer iai Herald, writes

Few parents know the importance of n
newspaper to their children. The inclna-
,on had To read, | well recoilcct. was
brought about by hearing the trial of Colo-
mel Burr for treason, talked of, aud seeing
that trial rcpurted in the newspaper which
my father then took. Having hcconc in
terested in the affair, | always seized the
newspaper on i,s arrival with avidity aud
read the continuation of the trial. But few,
perhaps not another, paper was then taken
in the neighborhood in which lived, and
th, consequence was thar | soon found !
knew much more Of what was going on in
the world than my school and playmates,
and consequently became the oracle ot our
little circle. This gra,fird me, and saw
at once the advantage of reading, though !
was then but 10 years old. From that day
To this have never been without u news
paper, and may attribute my success in life
To that circumstance"
