A NashY Wall.

We had occasion, during the can
vass, to allude to the SHANKLIN Boys
several times as jokers. We regret to
have to announce that their season as
clowns in the VAN RIPPER Ring was
not paying one. The receipts fell
far below the disbursements. The
concern has gone into liquidation. The
Boys have since turned their atten-
ton to the study and imitation of
Massey. In this they are making
commendable progress. Close appli-
cation, We think, added to one or two
more political defeats, will make them
excel their patron saint. We copy
the following wall from their paper OF
yesterday, as sample of their pro-
gross in their new role:

morning to record the decisive defeat
Of the entire Democratic city ticket
At the moment of writing the returns
are net all in, but enough Is known
to indicate that the Radicals have
carried the entire city ticket, witt
perhaps seven out of the nine Coun
| cilmen
We are IN no mood now to enlarge
upon this disastrous result of the city
campaign. The people have decided
that the Radicals shall resume contro
of the city government, and we respec
that decision, although we believe
that it will be regretted In the future
We thought, and we still think. tina
the issues upon which the Democratic
candidates asked for the support o

ably effected the humiliating event o

only to say that we have met tn

Novel Readlng-Is 1t Sinful .


The Christian Standard. published
at Alliance, Ohio, and Campbellite in
lis religious profession, replies to the
question of correspondent. " Is the
habit of novel reading sinful?" as
follows:
The objects had in view are: First,
to obtain information. Second, to be
awakened to reflection and investiga-'
ton. Third, to be warned against
evil and strengthened In the love OF
shat which Is good. Fourth, to form
and cultivate a correct taste-tO min
lister to the I'VE of the beautiful. 1t
is evident a. a glance that novels, If
allowable at all, cannot properly form
the staple OF our reading, as they can
not minister to the more important
ends sought. Novels do not convey
information. Neither is it their prime
object to awaken reflection and inves-
tigation. They may warn against evil
and encourage goodness, and they may
aid us to cultivate a pure literary
taste. They are chiefly valuable,
when valuable at all, for deineations
of character and for unmasking and
satirizing the follies, or vices, or
| crimes of the age. We can no more
condemn all novels, therefore, than
we can recommend all books that are
not novels. A thing may be as valu-
able on page of fiction. when true TO
nature. as when furnished on the his
torian's page as true in fact. The les
sons taught in the parallels of Jesus
are as valuable as if they had been
conveyed In homily, and great deal
more pleasant to study.
But as it is not the chief end OF
reading to crafty the imagination or
please the fancy, novel reading must
hold a subordinate place. As a lit
| erary recreation, as pleasant change
from severe mental toll, as a pleasant
and not useless way of spending an
| odd hour not otherwise devoted, as a
pleasant trent to an overtaSked stu
dent or a relief to a morbid state OF
mind. It may be desirable occasionally
to read q good novel. But when this
becomes the chief object of attention
| It absorbs time from more valuable
nurposes. enervates the mental pow
ers units for severe study, and emas
| culates the whole intellectual anC
moral nature.
The Waverly novels are, in the
| Judgment of competent critics, much
better and every way freer from OBJ
lection than most works of fiction
About once a year, it may be, one Of
the Waverly novels might be read By
almost anybody for the benefit o
mental recreation. But to have nov
els lying about the house to De reaC
by children at will is about as bad a
having whisky about the hous'
to be drunk by them at will
especially such trashy books a
most popular novels are. As Il
the proportion of time to be allottet
to novel reading, we know nothing
better than the hint in st. Paul's ad
vice to Timothy about wine" TAX
little" just little.
