The marks of first class literature.â€" There is here the concrete standardâ€"the model and principal together as practieal guides in the art of writing. _ There is necâ€" essarily a great variety of styles, but there can be be no Philistiniam among the writâ€" ers of first class literature, inasrouch as there is in their works the absence of oy. erything which constitutes ths essence of ‘ Philistiniem, What, then, are the mrhl of first class Itterature, which carry in themn the evidence of this fret ? Among such marks in first clase literature, whiehl show the absence of Philistinism, there is the unbiassed enquiry into the natnre of I things, a comprehensive grasp of things, and the processes of expansive thought in ' regard fothings. There is pertinent illnstraâ€" int Philistinism, as it thns appears, is a term ’nf frequent nse and pregnant significance in the current literature ot the day. There ?is contained in it an expressed opinion on Phe intellectnal qnalities of a writer and on the literary work, which he produces. ‘There is, moreovor, implied m conciete standard, according to which the aforesaid opinions are formed. What, then, is the ‘ concrete standard ? In answer to this question, there are three things which show the ahsence or the presence of Philis tinism in all literary prodnctions. " tincluded thost ot the German posulation. l:e ; He said of Gottingen : The inhabitants are t divided into students, Professors, animals * and Philistines; but the four classes are by «* no means distinet. ‘The Philistines «re as hâ€" t numberlees as annd, or, better, as mnd, in _z the ser. When I see them of a morning :: gathered with their begrimed faces nnd“ if white tiles before the ncademic gates, I , Wonder how such a tribe of uuerdomalionul k chanced to be creat»d." In fact the term Philistine, is, in a broad sense, bestowed Z nowrdays npon all individuals and cluseu’ | who are ignorantâ€"or narrowâ€"minded or self. | | arsertive or pretentious. Hence, Matâ€" | _ | thew Arnol defines Philistines as "humâ€" | y drum people, slaves to rontine, enemios to | , light, stupid and oppressive, but at the' same time very strong ;" "inaccessible to i ideas and impatient of them," governed / ; by precedent and convenience, and "with | \no readiness to move or alter at the bidding |â€" â€"of (real or anpposed) remson:" dogmatie | and unintelligent, Among â€"literary folk || everywhere, Philistine is very freely and |! flippantly employed. Any writer who is | dirpleansed with another writer is apt to | ® ’pronmmeo him a Philistine; but some authâ€" | © ors seem rery juastly to come within the cateâ€" | | gory, as Tupper, Poliok, and Robert Mont |r lgn.mery in England, Engene Scribe was, | 1 during the middle period of his life and | ¢ labors, regarded in France as n Philistine; | C so were Dennery and many other Parisians. | it Philistiniam, indeed, interpreted by our | © proper egotism, is anything we do not apâ€"| l prove or happen to like, and Philistines | t are they who do not belong â€"to the mutuai 3« admiration society of which we are promi. | la nent members. if, l sre oniste barbrariana, undeserving of conâ€" sideration or respect.
