No MethsTs In Novels.

II
The fact has reeetlg been stated
by writer op modem novels and
nOveGsts, that few authorsaOf fiction
attempt to inttaduce into their works
the character Of a mother. Dickens
has very few in the many volumes
which he has written. None of Miss
Bronte's heroines have. a mother and
even Sir W alter Scott aad Blissf 3D.
geworth rarely introddee6 the char
acter. "The heFones .of. ftticp have
no mothers" There are exceptions,
bu they are rare. The simple. .natur-
al relations Of life furnish small cope
to the inventive geaihsOf.Kriters, who
ainT net 50 much tp,jRstrEE t-as- to +sfar-
tie ana amaze. No one can have
read novels without having had the
conviction forced upon the mind that
eeyPFHlplsundeuTFed uoAfo
say deception, Ugderie'every work Of
fiction, BY an outspohen word or
candid avOwal Of the truth, the long
drawn, torturing array of .'circum-
sE8n6eS Rdald mex I6Eo air, q ShA sfbe
romance be turned into the reality Of
daily life. This necessity of decep-
ton doubtless has much to dowith the
expulsion of mothers from the PAGES
6Eadfels LT6SI bsFoi6e h1sf Z fdmain
the Yictim Of attentions and suferings
from which no one has authority or
power to set her free 81
But a still stronger cause for the
omission exists in the fact that hero
inc must be sufferedItO act out, with
out restraint, those natural impulses
and Wild passions. Of her heart which
any mother, however worldly, grieyes
to behold exempliaed in d daughter,
Liberty Of speech and liberty Of ac-
ton are inseparEble. from the brilliant
heroine Of a. sensation novel. She
could never be. subjected for a moment
to the gentle check Of a mothers pre-
senee and loving glance. Thus the
mother is dispensed with as an ele-
ment quite toe duIHsaRd common
place to be eUUmp9tible with popular
taste. ---
