He denounced all composed histo4es as lies, and referred the origin of this partic i ular Eger aliteratnre to the Father. of Lies. ,It was batrare. ly - that Deacon Piescott had patience A toMason with any one on the subject. To him the truth of his position was so clear, that he felt irrktateid when others atten?tpted to _sustain an opposite oPinion.— Knock don arguments were his weapons in deal ing with this monster . of iniquity, as he *as pleas. ed to call it. / Unfortunately for the peace of Deaccni Preso tt's household, hie sons and daughters by noans agreed with him as to the sinfkdnees of .fiction4 mle In spite of his most watchful care, novels and tales were obtained and read by them in secret, with i an avidity increased by the fact that the pleasure was a stolen ope. Mary, quiet, thoughtful, loving Mary Prescott, who, from the time her sweet young mouth could take a kiss from her father's lipd, up to the period when the bud of girlish beauty expanded in to the lardy young woman, had 'been acknowledg ed by the Dear on as his most precioua gift from Heavensaving, always, her.mother—even Mary, in the solitude of her little. chamber, long after fill the household had retired % - r the night, would often losalterseif for hours in the deep speltthat lies in Ivanhoe, Waverley, Kenliworth, and other master-. pieces of fictitious history, from the pen of gifted novelists. Often; as the lien of moping came stealthily in, and blending with, at length destroyed the dim rays of the feeble lamp, has Mabr starter witty surprise to find that the night was past! and hiding avai tie fascinating book, that had caused her take no note of time, thrown herself upon the bed to catch an hour's sleep before joining the family, and entering into the regular duties of: the ;..day. • Sometimes. Deacon Prescott would discover a 4 stray volume of romans, and then came trouble to the guilty one who had dared to introduce the I " moral poison." But it all did not dcC Mrs. Rade liffe,..SFott, Cooper, and dozens of others , were fa milar names among ,the members of the The evil resulting •• from Deacon Prescott's rigid views and practice on the subject, of fiction, was that he ceased to be the rational guide of his chit= drent.: •Had he wisely discrimivated on this sub jeet,e •would have understood that there was a wide difference between a mere fictitious history, in which imaginary characters are made to appear and a,et out their ultimate consequence certain good or evil principles, and deliberate falsehood uttered with the end to deceive. He would have seen that there was a power in fiction that might be made to • subs.erve' good as well as evil purposes-; and in stead of interdicting light reading, as it is called, altogether, have introduced that which was elevat ing to his children, and thus been their guide where one was so much needed. But, instead of this, he condemned all as bad ; and the inevitable conse quence was, that his children, unable to see that he was right, obtained novels and romances, and read them in-secret. Two evils were the result. In the first place they disobeyed their father, and loam •spect foi-his judgment; and, in the second place, with -no guide to a selection of books, read the good and the bad indiscriminately. Nor was a per version of taste, so far as bad boeks were read, the 'only consequence. Mary's health—she was of a delicate constitution—from sitting up late at night, and often - at a cold room, to devour, rather than read, the fascinating works of fiction that she was able to obtain from one source or another was se riously injured ; and her parents remarked, with atiiety, her altereik appearance, without the least suspeCiing the rause: Thus matters amid on until Mary, so deeply loved by her haiu, was addressed •by a young man for whom Deaccin Prescott entertained a dislike al most equal to what be felt for novelis and tales of fiction. The rigid, uncomprotnising old Puritan, the moment he saw what was going on, acted with his usual decision. Thole was no • tempt - lazing in hie policy. " Mary, if that ycrang man comes here agita, shall request him not to repeat the visit," said the .father on the occasion of Edwards Baldwin's that formal visit to the lovely maiden. Team came in the eyes of Mary, and a bright flush to her cheeks. Her head drooped, and heir bosun heaved strongly ;:hut she made no answer, 'and aesoon aff it was respectful to do so, arose and left her fathers presence. peac4n Prescott considerd the matter as settled. 4 1!* had alWays been a loving, obedient child, and he thought that she would go directly counter to his wishes, did not once cross MS mina. — But he erred. The very• fact of opposition to the young man caused lierto think of hint with more favor.— She could not understand the objection as anything but an unfounded prejudice. Baldwin mile again, and the Deacon true to his purpose, desired him norte - repeat the visit. The -manner in which this was done was giffensive, and the young man was-indignant; but-it tlid not in the least touch his regard for Mary, to whom he wrote a long letter, fully declaring, the nature of his feel ings for hut, atid begging him to give him an in terview. • They met according to his wish, when pledges' of affection were exchanged. From that hour, Edward' Baldwin was all the ,world to the true-hear ted Mary. They met frequently, at.the' house of a friend : In dne time thoughts of marriage came; and thelovers began to look , forward to a union.— The desire, on both isides, to conciliate the fo4er and gain his consent, Was very ;• , i , so' t- .. • , . . ••' .„. ...„,,,,,,,,-, ~ 2 4,1, ..., ... ,, it , {7V ,,, , ,, .4;... ;r:: -.' .:7 :'''':. : ''''''''W A...
