Corrupt Reading.

Sir Thomas Chambers, at a meeting in England, stated that no boy was brought before the criminal courts whose fall is not due to impure reading. Mr. James T. Fields said that the Boston boy murderer had read sixty dime novels, all about murderous doings and all sorts of thrilling adventures. No wonder the nature of a fiend was developed in him.—Christian Statesman.
