than that there is no excuse for them. They are deliberate and wilful misde
meanors. How any man or woman can get his or her consent to publicly ac
knowledge some of the novels appearing these days, is beyond our compre
hension. And there is truly no end to the making of such books.
The entire purpose of fiction has changed in the last fifty to seventy
years. It is but natural that a change should occur, but it should have been
for the better instead of having seemingly lost all aim and motive whatso
ever. As an instance, consider the novels of James Fenimore Cooper—partic
ularly the Leatherstocking Tales. It may be true, as some one has said, that
his Indians “belonged to an extinct tribe, which never existed,” —but the
books are clean and strong, and afford pleasure as well as instruction. Com
pare the style and beauty of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s work with the best we
have to-day, and note the falling off. We forbear the opportunity this gives
of making the comparison stronger by mentioning Washington Irving. All
these books were worth while and afforded some nourishment to the reader.
Most of the reading matter of to-day yields just about as much permanent
results for your time and pains as chewing gum does.
In the realm of the sentimental novel, E. P. Roe and Augusta Evans
Wilson satisfy our every yearning until we are eighteen to twenty years
old. Their heroines are beautiful women, and move in the light that never
shone on sea or land—but they are possible. Their men have red blood in
their veins, and are your true dashing, cynical, athletic heroes of romance.
Life lost for love, ruin risked for a rose, w'as a mere matter of routine with
them. (I am proud of that sentence.) A duel before breakfast and a couple
of dozen of wine after supper were happenings so ordinary as to be monoto
nous. If we only had such stomachs now as they had—and their nerve—
goodness me, they were built like the one-hoss shay!
The stories in Gody’s Ladies’ Magazine in the fifties, are a fair sample
of the best fiction of half a century ago. Compare the characters and the
plots with those of the stories of to-day. Then the heroines were ladies—
real ladies—and the heroes were men—a little chivalric and sentimental, but
sure-enough men of decent habits and character. Those stories had no cigar
ette smoking, no runing after actresses, no borrowing of others’ wives and
no morbid or degenerate views of life played up as being attractive and be
coming. Even then the course of true love had its bumps and failed to run
smooth. Sometimes the wicked rival caused all sorts of trouble by intercept
ing the correspondence; sometimes Mamma wanted Gwendolin to marry weal
thy Percival Langdale who parted his hair in the middle, instead of poor,
but honest, and oh! so deserving Bill Jones, who wore overalls and had a cow
lick, but in the end love triumphed and Bill came into his own. Names were
different then. Alice was never known to be spelled “Alys,” and Mamie
rarely attained to “Mayme.”
Authors were more considerate of the welfare of their characters then than
now. Not a one was ruthlessly hurried to the jail or the cemetery to enable
the author to reach a conclusion of his tale. Pestilence, famine, sudden death
and sword play were instruments resorted to only in the extreme cases, when
the stage had to be cleared and the curtain rung down quickly. If the vil
lain became so unpleasant that he could not be endured a minute longer, he
