TALES AND NOVELS.

George W. Curtis recently delivered 4
lecture, on literature, in which he took oc-
casion to speak in the following terms on
fiction:
Objection to Gcture is objection to the
most instructive play Of the human mind
Fiction is no more to be explained or defend
ed than the sunset or the rose. If anybody
objects to novels in the abstract, he objects
to man. 1t is no more waste OF time to read
good novels than to read Il good poem, or
look at fine sunset, or yield to noble
instinct. I have heard sad.eyed clergymen
publicly denounce fiction as such to young
men, and then preach croaking sermons on
the parallels. But Sir Walter Scott himself
could belle his art. He ays:-We are
inclined to think that the worst evil to be
apprehendcd from the persual Of novels is,
that the habit is apt to engender distaste
for real history or useful literature, &c.'-
But is it to be supposed that Scott sincerely
believe that mankind were to be more im-
proved by reading the real history of Mes
salina or Cleopatra, or Of Catharine, than by
reading the history Of Rebecca! Did he
prefer as Il moralist that his daughters should
read the memoirs of the Duo dc Grammont,
or Charles the Second, or any other King,
rather than the fictitious history of Sir Roger
de Coverly? Did he not know that the ex-
cellence of novel is the excellence of ia
ture, Or any other great work of art, and that
his own Jennie Deans is as real in herself
! and as influential on the human mind as

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.

People are often subjected to extreme NOR
tifcation by indulging in disparaging re-
marks of strangers, and learning subsequent
ly that the persons themselves, or some of
their intimate friends were within hearing
of the remarks. Such unpleasant occurren-
&c. rarely have so pleasant termination as
the following singular recounter between Dr.
Dwight and Mr., Dennie:
Az Or. Dwight was travelling through
New Jersey, he chancel to stop at 4 stage
hotel, in one of its populous towns for the
night. At late hour of the same, arrived
also at the inn, Mr. Dennie, who had the
misfortune TO learn from the landlord that
the beds were all paired with dodgers, ex-
cept one occupied by the celebrated Dr.
dwight. "Show me TO his apartment" ex-
claimed Dennie; "although am stranger
10 the Rev Doctor, perhaps can bargain
with him for my lodgings" The landlord
accordingly awaited on him to the Doctor $
room, and there left him to introduce him.

with the literary physiognomy of his COM

Of Washington, Franklin, Rittenhouse, and
Il host of literary and distinguished charac-

their conversation, until Dwight CHANGED to
mention the name of Dcnnie.
"Dennie, the editor of the Portfolio, (says
the Doctor, in rhapsody is the Addison of
the United States-thc father of American
Bellies Letters. But, sir, continued he, sis
it not astonishing that a man Of such genius,
fancy and feeling, should abandon himself
to the incbriate bowl, and to bacchanalian
revelS?"
"Sir," said nennie, II have been init

EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.

The following is the most graphic delinea-
ton of the miseries and effects Of intemper-
ance that we have ever scent is from the
arguments advanced by certain citizens of
Portage county, Ohio, in memorial to the
Legislature on the subject:
And yet, its march of ruin is onward still!
1t reaches abroad to others-invades the
family and social circles-and spreads woe
and sorrow all around. 1t cuts down youth
in its vigor-manhood in its strength and
age in its weakness. 1t breaks the fathers
heart-bereaves the doating mother-extin-
guishes natural affection-eroses conjugal
love-blots out flial Observation-Disclosures
parental hope-and brings down mourning
age in sorrow to the grave. 1t produces
weakness, and not strength; sickness, not
health; death, not life. 1t makes wives
widows--children orphans fathers 6ends-
and all Of them paupers and beggars. 1t
halls fevers-feeds "Reminiscences
gouts-welcomes epidemics-invites cholera
-imparts pestilence, and embraces consump-
tions. 1t covers the land with idleness, pov-
erty, disease and crime
It fills your jails-supplies your aims
houses-and demands your asylums. 1t en-
genders controversies quarrels--and
cherishes riots. 1t contemns law-spurns
order-and loves mobs. 1t crowds your
penitentiaries-andf furnishes the victims for
your scaffolds. 1t is the life-bood of the
gambler-the aliment of the counterfeiter
the prop of the highwayman, and the sup
port of the midnight incendiary.
1t countenances the liar-respects the
thief-and esteems the blasphemer. II "io-
lates obligation--reverence fraud-anu non-
ors infamy. 1t defames benevolence-
love-scornsv virtue-and ISLANDERS innocence.
1t incites the father to butcher his offspring
helps the husband to massacre his wife
and aids the child to grind his parricidal
axe. 1t burns up man-consumes woman
detests life-curses God-and despises Hea-
ven.
1t suborns witnesses-nu purjury-de-
files the jury box-and stains the judicial
ermine. 1t bribes votcs-disqualifes voters
-corrupts elections-pollutes our institu.
tions-and endangers our government. 1t
degrades the citizens-debases the legislator
-dishonors the statesman-and disarms the
patriot. 1t brings shame, not honor; terror,
not safety; despair not hope; misery, not
happiness. And now, as with the malevo,
lence of fend, it calmly surveys its fright
full desolation, and insatiate with havoc, it
poisons felicity-kills peace-ruins morals
blights confidence -slays reputation-and
wipes out national honor-then curses the
woodland laughs at its ruins.
