Is it fair TO talk about the decadence of the
novel? Certainly not If we are to believe an
anonymous contributor to 1.-THE Author" In
his opinion 1t is open to question whether the
works of authors whose writings are adduced
to shame the labOrs Of their successors are in
all cases so perfect as they represented to
be-" OF course, we are told, this does not
apply to the very greatest to such novelists
as Fielding and CervanteS, but what of GER
tain other men OF genius, whose works are
popularity supposed to be superior to the char
acterstc novel of the present time?
Sir Walter Scott has certain Iongucurs. It
would be difficult entirely to eXOnerate Dickens
of exaggeration and playing to the gallery"
And will any one defend "her eyes were full Of
almost tears" different to" many opprobrious
epithets in the English and French language"
all which flowers of speech are to be found in
~Pendennis"? Is II possible to find the parallels
of these in the pages Of any novelist of 1903
who is careful about his style?
With these observations in his mind the con
Temporary novelist who is careful about his
style ought to be perfectly happy.

Another curious law passed at this
session of the legislature was an act
to prevent lying. 1t must have been
directed at private citizens and not
at newspapers for there were no
newspapers in Vermont at that time.
1t was as follows:

accounted fourteen years, who shall

and be thereof duly convicted before
any court, assistant or justice of the
peace, such person or persons shall
be fined for the first offence forty
shillings; or If unable to pay the
same, then such person to sit in the
stocks not exceeding three hours.
And for the second offence in that
kind, which such person shall be con
victed of, shall be fined double the
aforesaid sum; and if unable to pay
the same, shall be whipped on the
naked body, not exceeding ten
stripes.
And for the third offence double
the fine for the second; or if the
party be unable to pay the same,
then to be whipped not exceeding
twenty stripes; and yet if any such

assistant or juctice of the peace, be-
fore whom the conviction is had,
may sentence such offender to be

twenty stripes-respect being had to

But If any children, or servants,
not of the age of discretion, shall be
convicted of such proclamation or dis
turbance, they shall be punished
thereof, by their parents, or guar
dams, or masters giving them due
correction in the presence of some
officer, if the authority so appoint,
and in no other way; and if such
parent guardian, or master, shall
refuse or neglect to give such due
correction, that every such parent,
guardian or master shall incur the
penalty of ten shillings.
And that no delinquent, on this
act, shall be allowed any appeal to

And all and every assistant, justice
of the peace, constable, grand-jury-
man, and tything-man, are hereby
required to take effectual care, and

particulars thereof be duly observ-
