SEASONABLE OBLIGATIONS.

ave may shut our eyes, but we cannot help
knowing that skies are clear and grass is grow
ing" sang Lowell on day in June. We may
shut our almanacs at this season, but we cannot
help knowing that Christmas is in the air. And
not only in the air. Houses shops and streets
are full of it. Everywhere in hundred ways
it is appealing to love, to compassion and to con-
ventionality. While yet, since most of us are
improvident, majority OF holiday purchases ne
main to be selected, there may be some advan-
tage IN suggesting that more intelligence ought
to be applied to the task of choice and allotment
This is the season of gifts; it ought also to be
the season Of graces, of which discrimination is
certainly one, and certainly too little cultivated.
We are frequently told, partly by way of ex-
hortation and partly by way of apology, that cost
and kind mean nothing that the remembrance
is the main thing. Perhaps it is, but all the
same the gift that fills long-felt want is the
gift that is most welcome. Some persons, to be
sure, have no wants, either long-felt or new,
which Christmas presents can supply. But most
of us are enough in need of many things to hail
with satisfaction the bestowal of any one OF
them And this is precisely where observation
and forethought find their opportunity.
Reflection suggests another obligation which it
is still harder for many to discharge and that
is the obligation to refrain from unsuitable and
burdensome expenditure. We do not refer to
deliberate and joyful sacrifices which are their
own reward, but to the unwilling and unjust
outlay which is prompted by false pride in
obedience to convention. The demands of GUS
tom are often oppressive and unreasonable, and
generally acknowledged to be so. But often
they are not easily refused. Generosity is a
noble trait, but false pretences are to be de-
spised, and the weakness which prefers to be
parsimonious in one quarter that it may be pro-
fuse in another is not admirable. An alert con-
science and strong mind are needed to draw
the line between that which is mean and that
which is essentially ostentatious. The Lord
oveth cheerful giver not giver who regrets
his gift, and least of all the gver who reckons
upon material Iecompense.
These observations are trite, merely as OBJ
servations but the practical application of them,
especially at this season, is not SO common as it
ought to be.

Prince Edwards engagement to Princess May
Of Teck appears from the dispatch from our Lon
don correspondent which We publish to-day to
have been the all-absorbing topic Of the week
in England. The match seems to be. a pop
ular one, not only in consequence OF its being
VIGOROUSLY one of inclination rather than Of
policy, but also because of the entirely English
birth and education of the Princess. 1t is no
secret that the people are heartily tired OF the
numerous German alliances contracted by the
reigning family, which have had the effect of
infuSng foreign accent into the speech both
of Queen Victoria and of every one Of her chill
dren and grandchildren. Princess May, how
ever, is free from this failing, and, in the words
Of her future father-in-law, the Prince of Wales,
is in every respect ga thorough Englishwoman."
As such the comedy young Princess bids fair to
become eventually very popular Queen May.

SOAP.

A prominent Philadelphia clergyman has recently
been preaching a series Of sermons the equality
Of men, with the general head of "There is no
difference lie appears to have dwelt particu-
arly on the iniquity Of dividing men into classes
This is not Of course, a new idea by any means
it only suggests once more that the notion may
be carried too far Men fall naturally into GER
tain classes. Perhaps the two most obvious grand
divisions into which men are divided are those
who use soap and those who do not use soap.
We mentioned the case not long ago of an co
centric St. Paul man, who had left provision
in his will for placing piece of soap in the hand
of every American Indian in the United States.
Where is the philanthropist who will bring o
piece of soap to every white person in the United
States? We do not need in this place to dilate
on the virtues of soap; all readers of The Trib-
une belong TO the class who use soap; so do the
readers friends but the readers, alas, meet q
great many OF the class who do not use soap.
They meet them in the elevated cars Everybody
meets them in the elevated cars. We know not
why it is, but for man who does not use
soap, the cars Of the Manhattan Elevated Rail-
road Company seem to have . strange fascination.

MIR. HOWELLSS MEL UENCE as d CRITIC.

AIR. HOWELLSS NFLUENCE as a CRITIC
Its business u.s." said Matthew Arnold, speak
ing OF the function of criticism, simply to know
the best that is known in the world, and, by in
it's turn making this known, to create a current
of true and fresh ideas" The announcement
that Mr.. Hovells has severed his relation with
the Editors Study of &" Harper's Magazine" aud
is henceforth to exercise his talents as editor
and critic in the service of The Cosmopolitan"
makes timely brief inquiry as to the extent
and character of the influence that he has ex-
erted when measured by this high standard.
There is touch Of grim humor in this "sim-
ply,n as Mr.. Arnold uses it in his statement Of
the purpose of criticism as if it were thing of
no great difficulty to "know the best that is
known and thought in the world" and to be
sure that ones knowledge is not playing him
false. But if one asks how criticism is to be
certain that what it thinks is the best that is
known and thought in the world really is such,
the answer is by no means clear. And if we
turn from general considerations to individual
cases the way out of the difficulty is no palmer
than before. For Mr.. Howells, in one of his
Harper papers, asserts, in defence of realism
in fiction, that fidelity to experience and prob
ability of motive are essential conditions of a
great imaginative literature" and that in life
the true realst " finds nothing insignificant; all
tells for destiny and character; nothing that
God has made is contemplate"
Contrast with this definition Of the point of
view of the reaIists Mr.. Stevenson's character
