A Pessimist on Pessimism.

pessimist is one who believes that
all is for the worst instead of for the best
MIR. Edgar Saltus is handsome, pros.
porous, healthy young gentleman about
30 years old. All that modern ''culchah'
can do has been done for him. The
world, at least good portion of the
feminine side of it. is at his feet on ac-
count of his literary fame and achieve
ments
Consequently, the world going wet
with him, Mr., Edgar Saltus is very
proper person to amuse himself by tax
ing cold and diabolical views of life.
Knowing nothing of torture or misery.
practically it isquite to be expected that
he should take it up theoretically and
make fad of it. He is the American
apostle of pessimism.
In the April Lippincott Mr.. Saltus ut
tiers his views. He declares suicide is
an optimist, because he tries to abolish
his miseries.
The pessimist, on the contrary. is The
most contented of men, because he il
glad things cannot get any worse, beinl
as bad as they can be now. To min
pleasure is a swinging between boredom
and pain, like a pendulum. He expect
nothing but evil and malice; therefore
he is never disappointed and not oftel
surprised Wealth consists in the limi
/ tation of desires. The fewer the desire
the serener the mind. The narrower tn
circle of vision the greater the content
ment, etc. If all this is the case truly

euuency to warp when sawn into
