What did our fathers read? On ao little shelf near the fireplace lay the Bible, hymn book, prayer book, a few religious and ecieutifical or biographical works, with per- haps a poet or two—and who will say they were not better than we? As the world grows older it grows worse, and when in ihe viden time one youth forsook the path of rectiinde, we now see scores following him, until the roads of sin are well beaten. “hy so many defaulting cashiers, so many failing firms, so mavy lunatics, so many murderers, so many losing themselves in the sloughs of the eity? Cannot much of it be directly traced to the sensational mat- t-r parents permit their children to read ? Yellow-backed novels form the staple read- ing matter of some happy home. The son becomes enamoured of them, and seeks in city life the pleasures thus conjured up in his mind. Step by step he falls. They fascivate the daughter; she eees the phan- tour, Fame, beckoning her before the foot lights; and in imagimation bows her thanks to the applauding multitude. She, too, seeks the city, and finds her pleasant dream was but a chimera. Disappointed and cejected, the fall from virtue is easy. Tuere were none of these dark pictures m the ‘‘good old days gone by,” when flash literature had not been called into exis- t nGe

What shall we read? There is such vast range of standard werks in every depart ment of literature, thet it is not difficult to make a selection of choice books, and he who has a few volumes of esch, with some first-class periodi cals, possesses a library of which he may well feel proud, and by adding to it year by year, he need never turn for plea- sure or amusement to questienable liters- ture.

We shovld peruse attentively standard biegiapliies, and learn from them some thing of the good and noble who have left behind them

* Footprints on the sands of time.”

It is there we may find medels after whieh ty mould oer own characters, examples we may wellimwitate, and thus become better men, and when we, too, “shuffle off this mortal coil,” leave a name that will not be forgotten.

Do we wish to know more of fereign lands? Then we can take up the travels and adventures of brave men who have penetrated to the very heart of those coun- tries, and whose works have a charm that we cannet resist; that carries us through strange scenes, and under strange skivs, with a delight that goes straight to the soul, and a'most unconscieusly we become fami- liar with the wonders and beauties of nature and art.

Do we prefer history? There is not the lenst Oificulty tn providing ourselves with. truthful mirrers of the past, with works that lead us, step by step, from the dark

shades of the night of barbarism, through

the morning light of chivalry, into the hright and glorious day of civilzation. Throngh this faithful lens we see the cur- tains of the past unrell, and gaze upon the men and deeds of bygone ages, and make them our own.

Do we delivht in the mysteries of Science? How many u di-puted au horities are there to introduce us to this region of wonders, to show us a world in every atom, @# nation in cvery leaf and blessom, to throw open to

Spencer, Milton, Shakspeare. Seuthey, Wordsworth, Byron, Moore, Tenvyson, and hundreds of other true poets, have all appealed to sume chord of the heart. What more sublime than ‘* Paradise Lost”? What more chivalric than the strains of the ‘f Treubadoure” ? W bat grander than the pages of the immor- tal Shakapeare,—‘‘ Sweet Will of Avon” ,— uhose dramas shall survive the lapee of coming centuries? What more delightful then ** Queen Mab?” What songs have gone deeper into a netion’s soul than the nel dies of Moore? What more dear to the hearts of Scots than Burns’ gems, and what contsins a more wonderful wealth of wit and of human nature than his ‘‘ Tam O’-henter”’ ? What more fascinating thar.

Dickens,Carleton, WasLington Irvine, Hawthorne —** the sweet and fascinating’ — Lytton, Brooke, and a bost of others, we need never dream of reading the questionable literature pro- duced by obscure writers, and which is more suitable for the gamins of New York than for the intelligent young men and women of this new nation. If the wild and miraculous is sough®, the rich oriental imagery of the ‘Arabian Koishts,” and the marvels of * Dim Quixote” can supply the want; but that is the limit te which oue shou'd trust hi: self in «orks of fieti n, if he does not wish his lit. rary tastes to be- come vitiated.

Open debating societies in every drstrict, improve yourselvea in every possible way, and in a few years it will lie said that the farmers of P.

A new coal drift has been opened at Edmonton on the south bank of the Sas- katchewan river. The seam is iventic with one worked last winter, and about thirty-three inches thick. It is in the face of the bank of the river, eighty or one han- dred feet below the surface. The seam underlies the more thickly settled part of the town, so that the residents can be cer- tain of having fuel for at least the next one thousand years.
