THERE is,possibly no remedy for tho
pcssimistic tone of modern literature
excepting in the one remedy for which
the world has long been looking-the
release from want and sin As long
as we sit in their tolls we must look
Tor their trail across the pages OF our
books. Much as We may profess 10
long for something different with which
70 divert our minds. we vet would
scott at the writer who painted us rs
much happier and better than we are.
We are subject to diversity of tastes.
and are prone to prefer 10 see vice and
virtue distinctly labeled in our story
books; the villain; very black indeed,
and the virtue OF a supcrine quality.
The writer who spreads these COM
modities out literally. so as to give a
little 10 each OF his characters, does
not please the average reader The
least Imaginative mind is the one
which revolts ut genuine realism.
