WHAT You READ.-A little boy was re-
Gently arraigned at criminal bar for
stealing some object which boy would
hardly be thought to coyet He was a
bright, intelligent boy, and awakened the
interest Of all who saw him. On question
ing him closely it was found that he had
been diligent reader of the lives of pi-
rates, thieves, highwaymen, and all man.
ner of outlaws, and a burning admiration
of their deeds was kindled in his breast
In his longing to initiate them, he had
been led to steal merely for the sake of
stealing. II was good day for him when
the law laid its hand upon him and taught
him that the way Of the transgressor is
hard.
Boys, if you wish to grow up outlaws.
Stunned or hunted down by society, make
a study of such books. The exploits of
thieves have a great fascination for youth;
but many lad has been led by them first
to admire, and then to initiate their career.
A milkman's boy once attempted to
murder an cid housekeeper, with no ap-
parent motive. His mind had become so
filled with the tales of crime he had read,
that he could not rest until he had put
into practice the information he had
gained.
How much better to have the life influ-
enced by great and noble characters. whose
lives you may read. Benjamin Franklin
says that little book, by Cotton Mather,
all tattered and torn, We him such turn
for thinking as to influence all his after
life. No doubt that little book tended
largely to make him the great man he af-
forwards became.
George Law read the story Of poor boy
who from small beginnings amassed
large fortune, and it made him restless
until he, too, could begin to lay the foun-
dation Of fortune. By steady, patient
industry he became at last the millionaire
OF his boyhood's dream.
There is something higher yet than mere
money making. Study the lives of those
who haye been benefactors of the world,
and try to initiate their example.
