HUMoR IN ITrERATURE.

The most nearly immortal character
of literature is FaIstaff, and Falstah,
is a humorous character. The most
long-lived of all writing is humorous
writing. Great Libraries are filed with
the dead bodies of many books that We're
once famOus-bools that were written
by statesmen and powerful bishops.
They lie only disturbed by the curious,
untouched by any "Old Mortality. ."
who write names anew on the scroll
Of human thought What little ola
volume is that over which that gray
haired sage IS laughing?" 1t is a
humorous story written hundreds of
years ago.
What is it that keeps the "Vicar Of
Wakefield" so fresh? Not its quiet,
pastoral atmosphere, nor its plot. nor
its description, but its humor. Why do
we stroll with bombastic old 1L5calC6er?
Not because he is unfortunate, but be-
cause he makes his misfortunes humor-
GUS Humor is the most natural of all
literary qualities. In life fifty smiles
ring out while one tear Is falling.
Monday we smile at our tears of Satur-
day. The greatest of all philosophy
resignation, is itself a quiet smile.
The American newspaper Is the best
in the world, not because it has more
accounts Of murders and disasters than
any other journal, but because it brings
more good cheer into the family. / do
not say this in defense of the American
humOrist, but as a statement OF fact.
The newspaper humorist-and where
Is the journalist who has not tried his
paw in this direction ?-perhaps needs
defense. He writes a great deal of
that which is politely known as "rot, "
but so do all writer's. The humorist's
efforts may not please the gentleman"
who sips his coffee at morning with
tremulous blubber-Who the night be-
fore told old jokes over new whisky
but they may create q laugh at the
farmers breakfast table.
Addison thought that nearly all
writer's had at some time aspired to be
humorists, and I do not know but that
such an aspiration is Just as praise
worthy as the aspiration which nearly
every writer has-that of trying to
please.
HumOr should be Just as refined as
pathos. The newspapers that prints
an obscene Joke should not be admitted
into a respectable family. It is better
to be dull than vulgar. Premeditated
humor, like premeditated poetry, is
generally Of poor quality Incidental
