Premature Reading.

When I was young ! remember my

suppose, that he ought to do something
positive for my mental and moral good
and general aesthetic cultivation, made
me learn Pope's "Messiah" by heart,
and number of other masterpieces of
the same character. He might just as
well hsve tried to feed a sucking baby
on roast and Scoth alel Without I'M
derstandfng q word of it learned the
messiah" by note and have hated it,
and its author too, from that day to
this, and hate them now. So also
remember well when / was boy of

siderable devourer of books-being in
cited to read Hume's History of Eng
land" Rlbertson's .''Charles w." and
Gibbons ''Rome" even, and l am not
sure / might not add Mitford's
ssGreece." can't now say 1t was time
thrown away; but it was almost that.
The first thing in trying to stimulate q
lover for reading is TO be careful not
to create disgust by trying 20 do too
much. The great masterpieces of hu-
man research, and eloquence, aud
fancy, are TO boys pure nuisances.
They can't understand them; they
don't appreciate them If they do.
When they have grown up to them,
and are ready for them, they will come
to them of their own accord. Mean
while you can't well begin too low
down. The intellectual, like the phys
real, food OF children can't well be too
simple, provided it is healthy and nour-
ishing.- Ckas. Francis adams. Jr.
