VALUE OF FICTION
FEIEsDs OF TIE c. c.: There are two reasons
thai may be given for the study OF fiction: /. Be
cause o. tle moral historical or descriptive iHstrno-
ton TO be derived; . Because ii IS relief nom The
heavy duties Of life. There Is method by which
might gain more information OF the above
kinds thar! by Incorporating with fictitious plot.
The customs, manners, dress etc, OF a certain
period might be written out, and few would read
and fewer remember but who would not enjoy
reading and remember the customs of Queen
Elizabeth and her court followers as they are de
saTibed IN SCOTS novel, Z" kcniiworth." Who
would not enjoy reading the Tale of the Christ }.
in Ben HUr, and feel benefited by il Many OF

more o. ga slii-Svery sentiment than Mrs stowe
in Uncle Toms Cabin "? Who could read Ra-
mona without sympathizing with the Indian and
his wrongs? II j. hardly necessary to add Dick
ems, Buluer, Triton, Buuysn and others TO support
these views Life ) too short 20 read fiction that
Is intended for pleasure only. Thanks, Soldiers
