Perhapsthe worst of all is to b i found in^some ot our met oral papers and prints,^that are published in gieat numbers and^detailed in all our news offices throughout^the countrv. These are displayed in shop^windows and sn arranged as to attract the^atttntinn of the passer bv.
'Ihesethree kinds of publications ought^to be avoided liv all. Then influence is to^make vice familiar and attractive: their di^reel effect is to instil into the minds of^those who read and examine them,^wrong thoughts, ideas and desires.^Their undoubted tendency is to^increase that flood of immorality, sin^and crime which now seems to be sweeping^over the land. Yet yon may enter the Bar-^low of many of our best families, not here^in this city merely, but all over the land,^aud nud this kind of literature on tin ir^tables and in their l.braries. All this may^^be productive ol very great harm. Child^^ren must read in this age. Let them, by all^means. But it is just as easy to provide^them with sule and healthful reading as^any other. There are plenty of authors^whose writings can never do harm. Tbara^is an rbundnnt supply of literature of all^kinds for children and for adults, pnplished^from month to month and from weak to^week, whioh will be just as as attractive as^this sentimental, deceptive kind.of which we^have been speuking.nnd be w ithout itsstmgs.^Give them good books and form taoir taste^after pure models and they will help to^keep the springs of life pure, and to fulfil^the injunction of tbe wise man.
