"NO TIME TO READ"

| We occasionally hear the remark iron
head Of families, in relation to the ques
ton Of taking religious and literary fam
ily newspaper. SIT is of no use for me Il
take a paper, for ! have no time 10 read
This remark is sometimes made BY ayoung
husband and father, and sometimes by a
Young wife and mother. Il have no time
to read" What gloomy prospect this
presents for the young growing family
Here are tender inquiring minds, ,hrsling
for knowledge as the tender plants thirst
for the dews and rains, under the care Of
parents who have "no time TO read" or, IN
"ther words who haso no desire for sefim-
provemen,, omind for seeking information,
no thought for the higher nature and its
wants For this is true state Of the case
with those who have no time to read
There is no person who has "mind' /"
read, a mind 10 this respect essentially
above the brute, but who has opportun-
tiles for good amount Of reading, and thai,
without any interference with the other la
bors OF life. The characters we refer to
waste time enough in vacuiiy to store their
minds with much useful knowledge if they
"had minds" TO be thus enriched.
Do parents realize their responsibilities
IN that sacred relation? Would they think
Of taking charge Of garden, or nursury.
withou, any knowledge Of the nature and
wants ofplants and fruit trees and the
science Of their culture? But now they
are assuming the care and guardiance Of a
garden of"mind.," minds capable Of vast
acquisitions in knowledge, virtue and hap
piness, or deep degradation and wretch
edness. And how much depends upon the
influence OF early parental converse and
instruction.
No time to read! 1t il false. You have
time to read and to think. And the i'm
provement of here and there half hours
rest in reading and medi,a,ing on impor-
tant subjects Of information, instead Of in
terfering with your own interests. will in
vigorate the body through the mind, and
will furnish the mind with themes Of pleas

and bless the walks Of life.
