Q" fc - 10 THE MORNING OREGON IAN, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1900. THE GOLDEN AGE (Copyright, 1D0O. THE OREGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE XIX. ADDISOX AXD THE AGE OP PROSE AXD REASOX. (Concluded.) BY JOSEPH VILLIERS DENNEr. A M. Addison "was born in Wiltshire In 1C72. his father being dean of Lichfield. In schooldays, at Charter House, he began the long friendship with Steele, of which Thackeray writes so charmingly: "Dick Steele, the Charter Houee gown boy, contracted such an admiration In the years of hla childhood and retained it faithfully through his life. Through the school and through the world, wh.thcrso evcr his strange fortune led this erring. waywaTd, affectionate creaturs, Joseph Addison was always his head boy. Addi son wrote his exercises. Addison did his best themes. He ran on Addison's mes sages; fagged for him and blacked his shoes; to be in Joe's company was Dick's greatest pleasure, and he took a sermon or caning from his monitor with the most boundless reverence, acquiesence and af fection." From the Charter House Addison passed to Oxford, at the age of 13, distinguished as a boy scholar. His residence at Ox ford as etuden., scholar and fellow lasted 10 yeart; In fact, he did -not resign his fellowship until 1711. During bis university career he attracted the attention of Mon tagu, afterward Earl of Halifax, by Indi cating In poems that he wrote his admira tion for "Whig leaders and doctrines, Montagu dissuaded Tilm from entering tho church, and Induced him to fit himself for statesmanship. Pro curing a pension for Add.son, Mon tagu sent blm to travel In France, Italy and Holland. He remained abroad three years studying political Institutions, meet ing famous men of letters- and observing the manners and tastes of the peoples he visited. The chief literary results of his travels were a metrical letter to Halifax in which he expresses delight at finding himself In places made dear to him by hia studies in the class cs and the famous hymn beginning: "When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys. Transported with the view I'm lost In wonder, love and praise." This clings to the memory like the lines of another hymn of his, written of the stars: 'Torever singing as they shine. The hand that made us is dhlne." , Addison's work as an essayist appeared In the Tatler, Spectator, Guardian and Freeholder, periodicals which followed one another in rapid succession during the years from 1709 to 1716. The Spectator contains his best work. The first number was Issued March 1, 1711, and the paper appeared every weekday. It was eagerly rtad at the clubs and coffee houses, as well as In the homes, arid when the essas were collected Into volumes numerous edi tions were necessary to supply the de mand. Nearly one-half of the Spectator papers were written by Addison. The va riety of topics treated Is very great, but the professed purpose of all the essays was to Improve the public taste, to make lit erature attractive, to Instruct while en tertaining, "to bring philosophy out of closets and libraries to dwell in clubs and coffee houses." Party po.itlcs was ex cluded. The first Spectator sas: "I never espoused any party with violence, and am resolved to observe an exact neutrality between Whigs and Tories, unless I shail be forced to declare myself by the hostili ties of either side. In short, P have acted in all the parts of my life as a looker-on, which Is the character I intend to pre serve In. this paper." The Spectator hoped "to banish vice and ignorance out of the territories of Great Britain"; It? attacked w.th good-bumored satire the minor vices and follies of the time, and made them ridiculous. To women readers the Specta tor gave the first hearty recognition ac corded them In the history of our litera ture. It brought a new interest into their lives by its minute observation on man ners and quiet ridicule of extravagant fash ons. Addison's humorous satire is sn at its best In the descriptions of Sir Roger de Coverley, the typical coun try gentleman of the time. In the por traits of Sir Roger and the other members of the famous club contemporary life is pretty completely described. Taine finds in these sketches the beginning of the rea'.istic novel which appeared full-formed before the ISth century was half over. The critical papers in the Spectator are char acterized by great moderation of judg ment, the moral essas put forward a reasonable and cheerful view of duty, and the influence of both is plainly to create a sentiment against narrowness and ran cor in the discussion of subjects on which men are likely to differ most stron;lj. 3t has been said that Addison's greatest "work was a work of reconciliation. Ma caulay refers to this when he speaks of AddLson as "the great satirist who alone knew how to use ridicule without abusing it; who, without Inflicting a wound, ef fected a great social reform, and who reconciled wit and virtue after a long and disastrous separation, during which wit had been led astray by profligacy and virtue by fanaticism." The Spectator did not speak in denunciation of Intolerance; John Dryden. It spread abroad a spirit of urbanity and good humor. Instead. It created a healthy and sensible public opinion on. matters of religion, literature and life. The mistake Is sometimes made of assuming that Ad dison entertained no intense convictions because In his character of Spectator he wrote without intensity. But Addison had a higher art than argumentat-on and In tense diction by which to effect his pur poses. There had been more than enough controversy on all the subjects which Ad dison touched with evident calmness n the Spectator. There was need of a re spite from fierce contention, and Addison's prose came as a relief. The prose of the preceding century shows two extremes. That of scholars like Milton, writing for scholars, was based on the Latin model and was characterised by long, involved and comprehensive sentences. That of the journalist, whose number greatly In creased toward the close of the century, was coarse, colloquial and Intentionally slovenly. It is caricatured in the Tatler for September 2S. 1710, from which a sen tence or two will serve to illustrate: "Tls ?ald the French King will bambooxl' UR agen. which causes many speculations. The JnckH and others of that kidney are very up pish and alert upon 't, as you may see by their phlzi's." Addison's prose Is free from scholasti cism, but in becoming popular it remains pure. It loses no dignity by its sim plicity. "In Addison's hands," says the historian Green, "this popular writing became a part cf literature. "While Jt preserved tho free nwi-- jf$E 'SG?

Instead of the ine-e wit of the coffee-house, men found themsolvKi Emilias' with a humorist who came nearer Jha.i ony iran before or since to the humor -f bhakopeare. It was thus that Addison oecun ths tjpical representative of the revolution vb!ci passed in his day over English litera ture.' IKJfij Ohio State university. SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY. BT CHARLES P. M'CLUMPHA. PK. D. Addison and Steele builded greater "than they knew. It was certainly impossible for those two essayists, from their point of view, to understand the latent forces JOXATHAX centered In that new project about to be Issued in the columns of the Spectator. For our point of view we can explain why tho Spectator was given to the world in March, 171L We can understand why tho half-century preceding the reign of Queen Anne resulted In the great political struggle between two radically opposed parties, one desiring government by con stitutional methods, the other govern ment by an absolute monarch; and why tho periodical under such conditions be came a powerful weapon in the hands ot party leaders. We can also unravel the social fabric and study the influence of the political struggles on the social life of the times. We know that party spirit, yea hatred, ran high. Society was" actual ly at war. Tories attacked Whigs; the es tablished church, the dissenter; the Mod crate Tories, the. Non-jurors, and the Catholics were hated by all parties. Such religious and political animosities caused social divisions, and It was necessary for something to step in and reason with and ridicule such an Impossible state of so cloty. This was the Spectator. This all needed something was the Sir Roger de Coverley pppers. Those papers served the age of Queen Anne in that capacity: they r.erved all time in a much higher degree. They contained the germs, kindly germs, of the novel of the eighteenth century. The Spectator was started as a distinc tively literary periodical, and It adopted a distinctly personal tone. Around "Mr. Spectator" the limginary members formed themselves into a club, and it was their dally reflections and actions that were to be imparted in a tete-a-tete fashion to the public This personal Intimacy is the keynote of the literary tone of the jour nal. This note Is struck with the very first article on "The Spectator's Account of Himself." and it Is sounded In the sec ond contribution where Steele describes "Sir Roger and the Club." The Sir Roger de Coverley papers. 33 in number, do not form a novel, according to the accepted definition of the word; but they do contain many qualities that afterward, in the work of Richardson, in 1740. became the definitive characteristics of the full-fledged novel. This srle" of c-iys. while possessing all the traits of the essay, gradually unfolds the life, hab its and environments of Sir Roger, a per sonage fictitious, yet Incorporating the jctflly recognised characteristics of a coun try knight. Associated with this familiar figure are other lesser figures, drtlcately, yet definitely, traced, such as Will Wim ble and Will Honeycomb. Moreover, this character sketch Is not without a plan. It Is devoid of plot, as the word is employed In defining the novel. -The plan is. simple enough. It Ip as unnecessary to the char acterization as the tracery of scaffold'ng 1j to Michael Ancelo's conception of the biblical scens. Sir Roger's presence In the club, his household, his ancestors, neighbors, country life. etc.. are so many separate canvases on which are deiplctcd the manners of the man and his rural surroundings. Sir Roger in London, fur thermore, presents the manners of the man against the perspective of city life, and the writer has the opportunity of contrasting country with city life. Sir Roger In London means a series of views of London's show places In the last cent uryto wit. Wceitmlns-ter Abbey, the the ater. Vauxbell. etc And this plan con tained one further episode that pained many a reader besides Dr. Johnson Ad dison had to kill Sir Roger "that nobody else might murder him." In this simple exposition of a noble character was hid den tho ed from which should spring the mightiest product that literature has ever known the novcJ. It was the im mediate begetter of Richardson and Fielding: the ancestor of Dickens, Thack eray and George Eliot. University of Minnesota. Xot for the Oregonian to Answer. GRESHAM. May 2. (To the Editor.) The covenant of redemption, as Inter preted hy Calvin, provides for the redemp tion of lost mankind through the crucifix ion of Christ. You have explained a great deal about this matter in your excellent editorial on the Westminster revolt in tile Sunday Oregonian. and now will you kind ly answer the following questions suggest ed by its perusal? 1. Why did God decree some asgels and men into everlasting life while others were foreordained to everlasting death? 2. What has become of those who were thus foreordained into everlasting death who died during the period between the fall of Adam and the crucifixion of Christ? 2. Was Christ's mission retroactive on earth and had he the power to save those who died before he came? If so, why did he not postpone his coming until the &'j0-zfBf. "last great day"? If not. why did not God sent him among mankind immedi ately after the fall of man? It may be asking too much of you to answer these questions; if eo let some of the learned theologians furnish the reply. E. I. THORP. FIGHTING THE FROSTS. Secretary of Aicricnltnre lasses Booklet on. Snbject Free. The Secretary of Agriculture, through the Weather Bureau, has recently Issued a farmers' bulletin, called "Notes on Frost." It is a free publication, and may be had by applying to Forecast Official B.als. of the Por.land Weather Bureau, cs scon as he gets in a new supply, his first be ng exhausted. A fatur cf the book which shoull b cf csreciai Interest t6 Oregon farmers are ths hlt on protection from fro3t. These lie direct ors 1 ow to prevent rap'd rad a t'oa; 1 ox to add moisture to the air, and a oj how to charge the air wi h mo s ture. The use of glass cloth, lath screens and other devices for preventing the rapid racial ion of heat are recommended. Smudge fires made of damp straw and stable manure, sacks of damp manure, bales of wet straw and prunlngs are the SWIFT. suggestions given for adding moisture to the air. An excellent method of making portable smudge fires Is described. This method has won much favor in various parts of the United States. The air can be charged with moisture by spraying and sprinkling. Irrigation 'a also successfully employed for the same purpose. In conclusion the book says: "It is Impoit3nt to remark in this con nection that rone of the artificial advices described should be employed during the tr owinjr season, extent on th !mTnifMritf ' eve of threatened frost. The necessity for j observing this precaution becomes appar ent wnen tne tact is considered that any appliance for protecting plants from cold wi'l maintain abnormally high tempera tures when average weather condltons prevail. The effect of this process would b to force the growth of the plants and lender them the more susceptible to dam age by the late frosts of Spring." DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Real Estate Transfers.

Loomis, of Ilwaco, who Is largely interested in railroad and steamboat prop erty at that point, is at the Perkins. He expects a heavy Summer traffic this year, as indications already point that way. He says there are already nearly- 10.0 neat Summer cottages strung out along the pen insula between Ilwaco and Nahcotta, and that mone art to be bul'.t this season, showing that interior people realize thi necessity of a few weeks' change for them selves and families during the heated term. He thinks, however, that more healthseekcrs should remain at tho sea side through the month of September, as that month Is the roost pheasant of a'l on Long Beach and vicinity, while in th Interior towns it is still hot dry and dusty. The fishing season, which has begun so auspiciously, he thinks will be of great benefit to Ilwaco this year, as the run x fine, while the prices paid fishermen 64 cents a pound will enable that class of laborers to make good wages. The sam? price Is paid for steclhcads as for Chi nooks. though there are not man- of the former being caught at present A few years ago, he says, it took four steelhends to represent one Chinook, at the canneries, but this season all discrepancy has dis appeared. He remembers when he bought chinooks by the boatload at 15 cents each and sold them to the Indians at Nah cotta for 0 cents each; but these same fish would run as high as $3 23 each this sea son. "If the present 25-cent rate is kept up between Portland and Astoria," Mr. Loomis says, "we will see such a rush to the coast this year as has never been approached before. The railroad and steamboats cannot afford to carry people so cheaply, but as they do so without complaining, the public nas no cause to kick." CarneBle's Contribution. NEW YORK. May 2. Andrew Carnegie, who refused to contribute to the Dewey arch fund, has given $1000 to the fund for the widow of Sergeant Douglas, who was killed at Croton Dam during the recent strike.
