Appreciation Of Novels.

There are people who speak with
thoughtless contempt OF the ordinary novel
reader, and consider him being for whom
no fiction Is too crude, no plot TOO absurd
or unnatural. Yet there are moments
when one is inclined to fancy that the stu.
dents who read novels steadily, end read
them all, must be the great unconscious
poets OF the human race. Nothing is a
more certain mark of the poet than his
power of bringing beauty and order to
every thing that he coniemplates. He de-
tects harmonics and contrasts, subtle tones
and fleeing charms, invisible to the eyes
of others. " don't see that In Nature,
some one said, who was watching Turner
at his easel. mo, but don't you wish
you did 2" replied the painter. And just

shadows more evanescent than appear to
ordinary mortals, the novel reader must
somehow out of his own abundance bring
life TO the most wooden characters and
consistency to the most incoherent plot
