Taste of Reading

 Amongst all the sources of amusements which are available for a hard-working man, after his daily toil,there is nothing like reading an entertaining book.It calls for no bodily fatigue,of which he has had enough.it relieves him from the dullness.It transports him to a livelier and more interesting scene and while he enjoys himself there ,he may forget the evils of the present moment .Nay,it accompanies him to his days next work,and if the book he has been reading be anything above the very idlest and lightest,it gives him something to think of besides the drudgery of his everyday occupation.



If I were to pray for a blessing, Which should stand me in good stead under every variety of circumstances and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness through life ,It would be for a taste for reading. Give a man this taste,and the means of gratifying it and you can hardly fail to make him happy,unless, indeed you put into his hand a most perversed selection of books.
