DICKENS AS A NOVELIST.
Chiefly Remembered by Certain Char

The glory of Charles Dickens. says
Frederic Harrison in the Forum,
will always be in the ''Pickwick, "
his first, his best, his inimitable tri-
umph. It is true that 1t is novel
WITHOUT plot, without beginning,
middle, or end, with much more of
caricature than of character, with
some extravagant tomfoolery, and
plenty Of vulgavity. But its orig
inality, its irrepressible drolleries,
its substantial huzhsn nature, and
It's intense vitality nlsee it quite in
class by itself We can no more
group it, or test itbV any canon Of
criticism, than we could ''Panta
CRUEL or Faust - There are some
works OF genius which seem to trans-
cend all criticism, OF which the very
extravaganees and incoherencies in
crease the charm. And Pickwick
ought to live with Gil Bias and iris
| tram Shaw. In a deeper vein, the
tragic scenes in ''Oliver Twist" and
In 'Barnaby Rudge" must long hold
their ground, for they can be read
and reread In youth, in manhood,
In old age. The story OF Dotheboys
Hall, the Yarmouth memories Of
Copperfeld, little Nell, Mrs. Camp,
Micawber, Toots, Captain Cutie,
Picksniff, and many more will long
continue to delight the youth of the
English speaking races But few
writer's are remembered so keenly
by certain characters, certain scenes,
incidental WITNESSES, and SO little
FOR entire novels treated strictly as
works of art. There is no reason
whatever for pretending that all
these scores of tales are all to be
compared with the best of them, or
that the invention of some inimita-
BILE scenes and characters is enough
to make a supreme and faultless art
ist. The young and the uncritical
make too much of Charles Dickens
when they fail to dis stinguish between
his best and his worst. Their fas-
} tidious seniors make too little Of
him when they note his many short
, comings and fail to see that in GER
tain elements of humor he has nc

Charles Dickens to live we must f1

They were dead when day was done
Summer came in emerald dressed
Gave me flowers bright and fair
When pinned them TO my breast.
Soon their beauty persisted there
Autumn lavished fruits on me.
When the hills with splendor burned
Dead sea fruits they proved to be.
Which to dust and ashes turned.
And told my heart with sorrow.
Nothing lasts beyond day,
New gifts come with each new morrow.
With that morrow pass away.
Winter came and one gray morning.
When the winds were blowing wild.
Love came to me without warming
Looked into my eyes and smiled.
And I said: Love. too. will leave me.
Perish like all other things,
It comes to me but to grieve me-
Leave me to my Borrowings.
But the love that came unbidden.
Staid and each day grew more dear,
Till within my heart twas hidden,
There to brighten all the year.
Then told my heart with gladness,
Earth's best gifts howe'er soon gone.
Leave behind them naught of sadness
Love will ill their place alone.
