AMERICAN LITERATURE.
Healthful Tone Suggested to New
Writers.


One may be allowed the shrewd suspi-
cion that some of the decadent work of
England in art and letters-for which
such men as Oscar Wilde, George Moore
and Aubrey B~eardsley are responsibilities
the result of a self-consciou pose, not of
a reasoned conviction or an impulse of
the blood. The negative spirit in England
is bad enough and sufficiently incongru-
Gus. but even if fit for one of the lead
ing n of Europe, would be particu-
larly out of place here in the United
States, forelooking to a great future. For
American literature-makers to adopt
either consciously or unconsciously- the
pessimism and dry rot Of France, Spain,
Norway and England, is an anachronism
analogous to that which Greece might
have furnished if, in the day of Pericles,
she had taken of p sudden to the pensive
idyls Of Theocritus and the erctic epi-
grams of Meleager. Our land, entering
into its young heyday of national matur-
ity, must develop a literature to express
and reflect its ideals, or we shall display
to the astonished world the spectacle of a
vigorous people, hardly out of its adol-
escence. whose voice is not the big, manly
instrument suiting it's years, but the thin
piping treble of seni,sty. Common sense
n patriotism alike forbid such an abb
surdity.-April Forum.
