CHE4P LLTERATURE.

The Saturday Review
People may say that cheap literature
can provide the antidote as well as the
bane SiXpenuy editions of Tom
Brown Of MaTyats novels, and Of
Scott's can be found everywhere. We
confess to doubts as to whether the
great unknown world of readers cares
much for these masterpieces. Wedoubt
whether they penetrate much below the
middle of the middle class. 1t is cer-
tain that the highly educated girl Of the
day does not, and apparently can not,
read Scott any more than she can Gp-
preciate Dickens. She prefers the
thinuest twaddle of the mob Of modern
tinually and Of descriptions of things
which, being perfectly familiar, require
no imagination in the reader. Probably
the large public Of the lower middle
class and the less intelligent members
of the working classes also like fiction
that deals with the commonplace or the
purely fauciful adventures Of persons in
their own rank. There are wild, cheap
novels in which the heroes are noble
hearted burglars, and there is a kind of
converted penny dreadful, for family
reading, in which adventures, stolen
wills, wicked guardians, and the like
abound, while a general air Of evangelical
piety prevails among the virtuous heroes
and heroines. In these classes Of cheap
literature there is a lack of humor
which may be felt, and an entire abb
sence Of diyerting dialect and OF we'll
drawn and discriminating character.
The whole interest turns either ON
cSimo or on the sudden acquisition of
fortune by the lowlv but virtuous. A
successful claimant, who had been left
as q child on the steps of q workhouse
and has developed into an exemplary
and bible-loying maid-of-all-work, is the
fayorite heroine of the converted penny
dreadful. Her lover is a wicked baro-
net, who, like King Easter and King
Westor in the ballad, loves her "for her
land and 'Ior her fee, which he is
aware that she is to possess, while q
young man of the class of Sam Ger,
ridge is a disinterested and finally sue
oe7slul adorer, The close of the novel
leaves the happy pair in the enjoyment
Of wealth beyond the dreams of ayarice.
This sort of cheap literature is not pos
itively harmful, but it encourages the
eternal day-dream Of the poor-the hope
Of sudden wealth coming in from some
unexpected quarter, the expectation of
impossible uncles from Australia or San
Francisco. These dreams are preferred
TO all the human art and pathos ofreal,
ly good novels which require some dis
interestedness, some fancy, and some
education in the reader Itispro5ahle,
however, that Dickens is still immense
ly popular with many members of the
class which absorbs cheap literature,

"What Of his record at college?'
Gle was recognized leader

On AN EMPTT 8TOMlCH

Man is the only animal that can be
taught to sleep quietly on an empty
stomach The brute creation resent all
efforts to coax them to such violation
Of the laws of nature. The lion roars
in the forest until he has found his
prey, and when he has deyoured it he
sleeps until he needs another meal.
The horse will paw all night in the
stable, and the pig viii squeol i'm the
pen, refusing all rest or sleep until they
are fed. The animals which chew the
,ud have their own provision Just before
dropping off to THEN nightly slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit
Of sleeping without preceding
meal, but only after long years
of practice. AS he comes into the
world nature is too strong for him and
he must be fed before he will sleep. A
eild's stomach is small, and when PER-
fectly filed, if no sickness disturbs it,
sleeps naturally AS digestion goes on
the stomach beginsto empty. A single
fold in it will make the little sleeper
restless; two will waken it; II it is
hushed again to rcpose the nap is short,
and three folds put an end to the slum-
ber Paregoric or other narcotic may
close its eyes again, but without either
food or some supplying drug it will not
sleep, no matter how healthy it may be.
Not even an angel who learned the art
1i minstrelsv i'm q celestial choir can
sing baby TO sleep on an empty
stomach.
