TRR ETHICAL VALUE OF THB
NOVEL.

All the world kno VS., the writing and
reading Of that particular form Of fc
sion known as the novel have deveI-
oped prodigiouslY in the present cen
fury, and show no signs Of diminish
ing. The novel as an institution has
pretty thoroughly broken down all the
barriers raised against it. 1t consti
tutes far the ma n part, not only of
our public libraries, but of evangelical
Sunday school libraries. 1t has be
come the vehicle of social reform, of
history, philosophy, religion, politics,
cience,- of every is ard every ology.
The conquest has been speedy and al
moss complete. No treatise on slavery,
however eloquent, has sold like "Uncle
Toms Cabin" no temperance work
has sold like Ten Nights in a Bar
Room; y no financial work, like "Coin's
School," no socialistic treatise, like
Looking Backwards" no theological
discussion, like Sheldon's 'Ln His
Steps. New Voice.

Nothing gals the natural pride of
the true blue sc0tchman than
to have Scotland overlooked. A strik
ing instance of this feeling is said to
have occurred at the battle Of Trafal

bosom cronies, happened to be sta

When the young mar called to ask
for the old mans daughter the latter
naturally thought it necessary to put
up a good bluff. that being the usual
method of procedure. Consequently
he looked solemn, coughed once or
fwice as a sort of preliminary, com
muued with himself a minute or two,
coughed again and asked:
Can you support her in the style to
which she hes been accustomed"
IF I COULDN'T" returned the young
man, promptly. "Iought to be ashamed
of myself"
The old mans bluff was called."-

Evil OF MODERN LITERATURE
The Writings of Pessimists Stand as
Barrier to Happiness.

The Writings of Pessimists Stand as q
Barrier to Happiness.
"Ole barrier that has helped to hold
back the happiness that ought to sweep
over our land like an advancing food
is found in modern literature" writes
the Rev. Newell D wight Hills, D. D.,
of The Secrets of a Happy Life" in
the Ladies' Home Journal. Mans
mental mood must needs reflect the
books and philosophy he reads. If
former generations were happy in their
garrets it was because their favocite
authors were opSimists, who saw life's
good, in3e2d, yet also saw that evil, in
it's heart, was also good. The great
authors, from Homer and Paul down
to Shakespeare, have been the children
OF exuItent joy IS we'll as genius; all
we're large natured, sweet, wholesC me,
healthy and happy. The giants are
optimists because they are conscious Of
enormous reserves and are equal to

resources. Indeed, pessimism my be
defined as mediccrity, coniessing itself
unequal to lis task, and exalting it's
