Moral Influence OF Literary Taste
To young men away from home,
friendless and forlorn in great city,
the hours of peril are those between sun
set and bed. time; for the moon and
stars see more evil in single hour,
than the sun In his whole days circuit.
The poets visions of evening are all
composed of tender and soothing ima-
ges. II brings the wanderer TO his home,
the child 10 its Inother's arms, the OK tC

rest. But TO the gentie-hearted youth
who is thrown upon the rocks of a pitt
less city, and Stands homeless umonH
thousand homes" the approach oJ
evening brings with IL an aching sense
OF loneliness and desolation, which
comes dowhlnpon the spirit like dark
ness upon the earth.
In this mood, his best impulses be
come u snare to him, and he is led
astray because he is social, affectionate,
sympathetic and warm hearted. II

friends OF friendless, and that library
is the home of the homeless. A taste
for reading will always carry you 10

YOU by their wisdom and charm you by
their wit, who will soOth you when
