grand times, now that she has left the
Academy. And she doesn't spend her
time ioolishly, either. She reads all the
new books! "
81 don't know about that said an
old gentleman. hla eIDia ~ 3sA iup
20 it's true, sir" said the school
girl, flushing; that is, mean she
reads as many Of them Csssbe possibly
can" M ro{ vel
Just so, my dear, said the old gen
tleman, kindly " But I'm not sure
about the wisdom of the lady who reads
all the new books. IL seems TO inc that
she often must spend her time very
foolishly-very foolishly indeed, my
dear"
The old gentleman was right. 1t would
be better to read no new books at all
than TO read too many Of them, A man
might live To be as old as Methuselsh,
and read a good book through every
week--yes, at the end OF few centuries
become really we'll read man, without
once locking into new book. Ever
since the days OF grand old poet named
Chaucer, books have been coming and
going Fortunately, that careless say

to live do live; and it would be quite a
safe thing for our Methuselah. to look
only at twenty.year old works.

True, my dears, and very knowing of
you to say it. So, to save you from such
a fate, we shall try now and then to
point out as they appear, the new books

of advice. Do not read only the new
For hundreds of years great
and good souls have been saying beau
tiful things to US all-those who come
early and those who come late-and
their words are as precious now as ever
they were. 1t is good rule for young
persons not to read any two new books
in succession. Always put a good,
standard work between them; some
thing that has stood the test of time
and that lives. which your new book may
not. There Is such long list OF these
that you must ask your parents and
friends to help you make a suitable
choice, according to your age and tastes.
