gentleman, being luckily found al home, soon made

utter astonishment, Sir Walter recognized Scotch

ShoddH Literature.

In considering the shod dy element in lit
erature, the first thing which arrests the at
tention is the romance of rascality and the
novel of sensation. The authors Of these
seem TO plunge into the record Of the criminal
Courts in search of their plots and characters,
and such -swells" as Pelham and Pendeunis give
place TO rufians Of the swell mob. The two
chief elements of interest are bigamy and muir
der. In the old sentimental novel the heroine
went through three volumes Of difficulties to get
one husband now, as in Miss Braddons aurora
Flovd she begins with two, and devotes her en-
egies through the three volumes to the getting
nd Of the superhuous one. And then the indif-
ference Of human life displayed by these romano
ers really demands the attention Of the literary
police Thus if a character is in their way, or If
they get tired of him, they cody run him through
the body with goose-quill and literally blot him
out o. existence thus furnishing new proof
that 1.-The pen is mightier than the sword" All
their power is of the bood-lettiDg, brain-shatter
ing. teeth-gnashing and inte1ectional sort.
Strange that in war so prolific in heroism as
that we have gone through, with the newspapers
crammed with incidents that exceed in interest
the marves of fiction, there should be found any
class Of our society that should 90 10 such borri-
bic trash as the literature of yellow covers for
mental excitement! Nothing lives in literature
but that which has in it the vitality Of creative
art; and it would be safe advice to the young to
read nothing but what is old. In this way they |
would at least avoid being swindled by the per-
ishsble shoddy OF the mind, which now woos
their attention in the slop-shops Of letters. The
stuff will not wear; and If person could only
see his own mind, with the rags of these suits
hanging loose on his thoughts and affections,
be would start back amazed at the intellectual
he was made to appear. But we fear
the term "shoddy" cannot be confined to this
kind of literature, but must be extended to many
weak though well-intentioned volumes which
propose moral and religious aim. These books
have a painful childish and ''do-me-good" air
and, while they evince parrot-lke. memory Of
moral truisims and religious phrases, are without
IN atom Of moral vitality and spiritual might.
They shperfcialize the most important princ-
pies, are the mere shoddy covering of common
place morality and lip religion, the textbooks
whence are drawn the ethics of weaklings and
he theology of hypOcrites. Good books are
never written by goodies; )" and great ideas
which represent the deepest facts in life and t
which, when welded by strong souls, communl. c
ate inspiration to the heart and power to the I
will, are soon shorn Of the vitality, and dwindle a
INTO mere mOckeries of spiritual experience, c
when manufactured mechanically for the religious t

WHAT GOES IN YOUR STOMACH p" have
often wondered what the stomach must say to
itself while an ordinary meal is coming down.
This stomach knows perfectly well what it needs.
1t asks at breakfast moderate piece of steak, a
slice or two Of good bread, and baked potato.
Now, just stand by and see what goes down.
First, great mass Of greasy buckwheat cakes,
now swash Of scalding hot coffee, again buck
wheats, more coffee, sausage, hot biscuit saturated
with melted butter, buckwheats, coffee, sausage.
hot biscuit and so on and so on for half an hour
And here we have an enormous mass of hot
greasy, dOughy, indigestible stuffs swimming in
hot coffee. The stomach asks at dinner roast
beef or mutton, with bread, potatoes and other
vegetables Now, what is the conglomeration
that comes rushing down that red canal. Turtle
