Owning Books.

In a newspaper was recently printed
letter from a book.lover asserting that
books were OF little use to those who only
borrowed them or received them as gifts.
He objected, as Rnskin also did, to cheap
books, and said he was "almost" convin-
ced that II the cheapest books cost five
dollars or more. the world would be better
or
No doubt, says the editor OF st. Nicholas,
this is an extreme statement, and would
have to be expressed more cautiously to
be true. Yet there is some truth In the
idea that books may be too plentiful and
too easy to buy. There is, possibly, Ike
ness between libraries and schools In this
respect. The boy or girl In big school
is not so likely to form friendships as II in
a smaller school. Where there Is too wide
a choice, there is less intimacy. So In the
library. A large library is not so likely
to become familiar and valued as smaller
collection well chosen.
The very company OF books is educating.
As one sits before the bookcases and
glances at his fsvorite volumes, it is as IL
each said word or two or suggested
thought. Thus boys eye may fall upon
his copy OF tom Brown at Rugby" and
In his mind rises the remembrance OF the
great hare-and- hounds run in which Tom
aud East and the TadpoIe struggled so
pluckiiy, and at last held that delightful
little interview with DIR. Arnold; or visions
OF East's tricks ON Odd Martin. There is no
need to open the book--one breathes Its
healthfui ain at the mere sight OF Its title.
So from each old favorite there comes q
friendly greeting, and we recall the pleas
ant hours spent in Its company.
A great orator said; Books are the
windows through which the soul looks
out. A home without books Is like
room without windows. No man has a
right to bring up children without books
II be has the means to buy,books.n

Dear M. B. Friends:

Dear M. B. Friends:
Have you any old scrap books that you
cherish with care and occasionally look
up and look over7 l turned to such a
one tonight, begun in the early days of
the war of the rebellion. In turning over
the leaves saw the poem "Rain in Sep
tember," and as the rain was gently fall
ing-the rain so much needed to freshen
and brighten the face of nature--I copied
two stanzas of the poem as given above.
Then took down another scrap book
of later date, and as opened it there were
reports of soldiers reunions that caught
my eye, and | realized how long the time
had been since the picture OF the soldier
with the red, white and blue in coIors,
was the first thing pasted into the old
scrap book, and following it were pa
triotic poems and letters from the soldier
boys at the front or in camp-some of the
letters being from those whose graves
