Books and their Influence.

How many homes are destitute and void
of those treasmes-homes too, where are
displayed all the little gewgaws and trink.
cts to attract the eye. Often have we en-
tered the parlor of those in middling cir
cumstances. where every stand, side table
or shelf. some weak-minded PERSONS taste
displayed. but in the way of books not one
was to be seen. Parents, many of them
having large families, arc likewise bereft
ofthese valuable companions, save in many
instances, the family Bible, and the torn
and scribled school l-books of their chill
dren. Did they only know that by select
ing few or well chosen assortment of
books, and from time to time making ad
dition, handsome library might be form
ed, which should be within the reach of
all. and that many wild, rowing boy
might be kept from the streets, and from
mingling with the pernicious influences
which invariably must surround him.
Books, to an inspiring mind, have a
charm, facination that never tires; the y
take hold of thought and enchain you
within their precincts, and by cultivating
this taste it moulds and softens their
very nature, as well as adding information
at the same time. sr.al
Strange as it nay appear, we form an
opinion atonce Of a family where we see
no books around--it is to us like garden
where are no iowers--a space filed and
choked up with weeds; therefore, we saw

these invaluable ornaments. by all means
