flushed to the 'color of roses, her eyes
.1 . sparkled witi 'an intehsity of excite
ment, the sailoi. hat svuig carelessly
over l er shouldr, and her, hair,,loosed
from its usual stylish bounds, fell

It would have greatly siiprised qa,ny
e.0s1 r'rIt itg sae 9,tse;tog ave en
-ne 'estidious Miss J'essaimine Mauro
that September afternoon. Her
ghi -record for - irreproachableness in
the natter of proprieties would have
been considerably damaged, and grave
doubts would have arisen concerning
the .:sincerity of certain sentiments ex
pressed in the widely read "Odeoto"the
tiblne in Nature," of which she was
the distinguished author. flow this
usually.demure person, if truly gifted
with a soul for "the sublime in nature,"
could so far neglect the grand old
woods about her, now radiant with all
the glories of early autumn, as to stoop
to so frivolous amusement as that in
which she was then engaged, would
} ' have passed all comprehension. But
Miss Jessamine Maure, secure in the
s.olitude of the forest, and animated
with the sense of freedom which can
only be appreciated by those wvhoso
lives.are mostly spent in the confines of
a city, little heeded the sublimity of her
4surronndings, and not inCrequently
broke the solemn stillness wvith a peal of
'laughter so merrily musical thati the
very birgs wvere hushed into envious all..
'Such vigorous exercise as that, how
ever, must of a necessity soon out wind
one so little accustomed to it, and Miss
Jessamnine presently settled down to a
*walking pa'ce, relinquishing~ the stick
entirely to the dog, much to his evident
chagrin.
They soon reached a spot in) which
any one blessed with an Iota of poetic
-or artistic feeling must have halted. A
small 'stream; that doubtless had its
source in some swampy lake buried.in
the very heart of the woods, here flow-..
ed softly by, almost hidden, save whore
the road crossed it, by the growth of
bushes on either hand, A bridge form
ed of rude planks, which had.in its day
been sturdy if not particularly ornamen
tal, siihned the stream. T wo slender
poles, made fast to posts piaced at each
corner of the bridge, were the only
guards on the sides of the structure,
and against one of them Miss Jessa
mie leaned, partly to fully recover her
still scant breath, and partly to. enjoy
the calm beauty of the icene.
It was glorious. Tall trees of every
species lifted their heads above her,
through the foliage of which the sun
k.. .beams glanced, subdued and golden.
.Thie birds, flitt,ing to and fro among the
branches, chattel:ed merrily to each
other in their mysteriously musical dia
lect. The soft murmur of the stream
sounded like the faint echo of a far off
strain, sung by the breeze which faint
ly stii'red the tree tops-,as it journeyed
toward the north. liere, indeed, was
"the subimity of nature"' personified.
-~ 'The recent excitement eidmed dlow,,
Miss JessahYnine stood wrapt in med ita
t4ye enjoyment. A distalnt look in her
byes bespoke the boundless realms to
which her poetie soul was soaring; So
* cety, witLh Its many mockeries, Its fol
il'~ es an~d frailties, was forgotten. The
(nemory of the home in which her or
phaned childhbod had been alient, full

made a fairy .tale'of Londoi pov rty
by inyqnting a kind- of happy Aiand 'in
which. deserving poverty always fottud
its. rewnrd, 'while the wrong-doer vas
invariably punished. After ]3ulwer's
extravagant idealism and Dickens' ex
travagant realism. It was time to tale
up the phase 'of London life which
neither of these had touched, an.d the
idea suggested itself to Thackeray.
He. saw ' a'. world 'in' the West End;
lieople with yetty'tioubles and emotions
t"odi which .ire otly a memory to
morrow. As the tendendy of each k faid
of ietion is to find imitation before re
action, Diokens and Thackeray foLund a
host of Imitators. QOri of these, An
thony Trollope, followed Thackeray, but
in a fashion distinctly his own, discard
tng all Thackeray's romnantic feelitig
and1( pathos. The next development.
was the sensational story, with'its muri '
ders, mysteries and fearful disclosures.
Some of these novels were written after
the manner 'of conundrums, and they.
left the reader fio time in which to take
breath to criticise or to make observa
tions. Then people became disposedi
for a sudden and new departure, and
the school represented by Mr. Howelis
and Mir. James came to us from.Amuer
Ica. Their aim is to make a story in
teresting out of xnaterials.entirely with.
~out interQgt to chai-m 'or fascinate the
unwilling reader. With: the next reac
tion arose a kind'of Imaginationi the
like of whibhbad niot'been seen before,
and Mr> Haggard' " IKing' olombn's
Minos," "She," etc.,'are the resuln.
In all works of fiction It is impossible
to discern Whete the real and the Ideal
begin and end; everywhere they" are
b)lended. Strikinlg examples are tO be
found In "Don Quixote." 'Again,
Scott furnishes his hdimorpus 'pietures
of. life.and caricature, bold and daring
adventures and thilling tragedy. He
has idealized by the touch of sympathy
and genius the htimble,Jlte of the comn
pionest jeople. . Anld It Is so with the
novels of realism, such as , tiloae of
lFielding and Mr.. Howells. Mr. George
iMeredaih, who has only lately .come
bt isO fame, has '~ught .tpgether
th,ieland.the reai perfeotly. The
'Fretich enisafd *chool o.f 'Zolo Mr. Mc
