cheap trash in literature in the market.

cnedp CraSh In literature in the market.
The fact is, they read everything pub
Iished, but forget it.. The reader is
responsible for ali this cheap trash, for
it is ordered to his or her tastes; ethics
in literature are a secondary item.
More style, more rhetoric, more sensa-
tion is what they crave for, and they
get it. The inevitable result is, that
the standard literature and the ethics
of all good literature is comprehended
by only few, who look upon the work
from an intellectual standpoint, and
drink in the good and bad with the
same thought; which is, that the book
contains not only an interesting story,
but q mass of facts. moral lessons, and
above all, a book to dissect and masti-
cate by the aid of your brains, so that
once digested mentally, it will never be
forgotten.
Another example of wanton disre-
gard of literary digestion, and one that
can put no just claim forth for such a
course, is practiced 10y goodly num-
Der of ministers of the gospel. Just why
these ministers should show such a
dislike for one portion of the scrip
ture, has never been explained satis-
factorily. And right here 1 might
state that the reason the late d. L..
Moody could hold his listeners to the
end, was, that he opened his Bible
without looking at the book; anywhere
everywhere his sermons were preached
from, it made no difference to him if it
happened to be Genesis or Revelations,
Nehemia Or Ezekiel, he found one
theme one style, the rhetoric looked
the same to him. And why? The
reason is plain. He had one pur-
pose, and that was to know that book
in its intirety, he digested in mental
sense everything it contained, He
did not select choice bits of rhetoric
here and style there because it suited
his aesthetical nature, oh no; he saw
good style in preaching the sins of
oOOOtu dtlO dill dS well DIS DrGdCn-
ing the history of Bethlehem, all be-
cause he digested that book. Now
what is trne about the study of Divine
History is true of all other literature:
it should be read as a healthy man eats
his food, slow and we'll digested,
(rather masticated) and so with litera-
ture, read slow and try to grasp the
full meaning. Do not hunt choice bits
for the sake of satisfying taste; 1t is
bad, it is, in literary sense, decidedly
vulgar, for it shows the mind and
thought of the reader is dwelling upon
a touch of immortality.
Read only the best. and study them
don't crowd your faculties with non
sensical literature and you will be able
to enjoy and appreciate with clear
mind, good literature, for you are edu-
eating yourself and advancing your
prospects for the future. j. g. d.

1t was early in tie morning
Just at the dawn of day;
The Yankee squadron hove in sight
Off grim old Cavite;
The men alert and at their gurs
The ships for action cleared
And never man among them
Was timid or afeared.
The fleet in column streamed ahead,
Olympia in the lead;
The Baltimore and the Raleigh;
And Boston,; so were read:
Then came the natty Petrol with
A gallant crew aboard
And last but not the least of all
The schooner rigged Concord.

In substance; much like this:
Capture or sink the Spanish feet
Defeat would be amiss.''
How we'll the orders we're obeyed

What happened on that day.
That Spanish feet has disappeared,
Twill sail the seas no more;
Well drubbed by Admiral Dewey
On that far eastern shore
Then here's luck to our gallant ships
We know what they can do
One more-boys; for our jolly tars;
And one for Dewey tool
