A gentleman in India, as he was searching for a book, felt a pain in his finger, like the prick of a pin. He took little notice of it; but soon his arm began to swell, and in a short time he died. A small, but deadly serpent was afterward found among the books. There are many who receive in a bad book a wound that may seem slight but proves fatal to the soul. Be careful what you read.
