Last week we noticed in o summary vav All.
inessimable little volame, and are glad sb..
the Publishers, in issuing new edition. S;,.
ms another opportunity Of drawing publio =,
tention thereto. A great deal Of the unb,,,;
ness OF our days proceeds from the nepls,t :,
reading good books-mind, we say good =.
goody books, such ss those insipid menOir -
travels, or letters, OF "interesting kilograms,
Of some sleepy, "saintly," harmless Nsno.
who are, in the words Of our Holy Father a.

form our minds, instruct our hearts and an
tighten our faith such books, in o word. a. A..
offered to MS by Manning, Wiseman :.
Newman, q Faber, Woninger, Marshall. A
Catholic family supplied with. and taught 70
read, such books as these, may be sure of "A.
curing the respect of their neighbors a. val, J,
retaining their own eslf-respeot, aud the accom-,
plishmert of this should be prime consider.
tion with every conscientious Catholic psrsn.
Every one knows the destructive tepdencyf
bad books, and still more Of those that are oo,
Indifferent as to any inoulcations Of virtue and
morals; and the good effects of devotional
works are just as we'll known. Why then, il
it that SO many intelligent Catholics ALLOW
their tables and libraries to become crowded
with this moral poison, and take 80 little care
to provide the antidotef
Oftentime the reading of single good cen.
tence leaves lifelong impression on mans
heart. Ia the book before us, the wise Cardi
nal, showing how great results Aow from little
incidents, Gays: "There have been turnine.
points in the lives of Saints, which have ben
determined BY @ word spoken by child. q
Augustine tells MS, when he was ponderiu
upon the truths Of Christianity before yet b
became Christian, that one day, when he wa
meditsting in o garden in profound grief and
doubt, he heard, as it were, the voice of ashiN
saying in Q neighboring garden, '1olIs leg.

laid his hand upon q role that was beside him,
and opened it, and his eyes lighted on d..
words, Let us walk honestly as in the day !;
Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christi From that
moment he turned to God"
We conclude with the hope that every Cath
Ole family will keep itself we'll supplied with
the really serviceable books that are being q
plentifully and cheaply provided by cathOl'
publishers.

Here We have even q third American edisa|
Of this, the latest work from the pen Of ID
great English Cardinal!
This competition 10 very pleasing, becsuAI 4
proves that the taste for sound Catholic lin .
ture 10 increasing, and that our publishsa
prompt to notice and crafty that taste
But the most gratifying thought that am
in this connection is, that this beneficial res
ton is indefinitely multiplied, like that Of n
fex mirrors; for, as according to the CONNIE
cial axiom, Consumption stimulates prOdu
tion," just so in literature, good suthou a
spurred on in their work by an increased Dc
mand for their books.
Taking little lower view, We 6nd still - Z
other cause to rejoice in the fact that as t' :
sales increase the prices are reduced; 90 N
conclude by encouraging our Catholic publish
ers to continue on the work they have
vigorously begun, and thus every family ml
soon have beneath its own roof its own GIRO
lating library Of fret rate books
