From on appreciative paper on "George
Sand," by Justin McCarthy, we quote the
following:
But in truth we shall never judge George
Sand and her writings at all if we insist on
criticizing them from any point of view set
tip by the proprieties or even the moralities
of Old England or New England. When the
passionate young woman, in whose veins ran
the wild blood of Marshal Saxe, found herself
surrendered by legality and prescription to a
marriage bond against which her soul re
volted, society seemed for her to have re
solved itself into its original elements. Its
conventionalities and traditions contained
nothing which she held herself bound to re
spect. The world was not her friend, nor ttie
world's law. By one great decisive step she
sundered herself forever from the bonds of what
we call society. She had shaken the dust of
convention from her feet; the world was all
before her w hero to choose. No creature on
earth is so absolutely free as the French
woman who has broken with society. There,
then, stood this daring young woman, on the
threshold of a new, fresh, and illimitable
world; a young woman gifted with genius
such as our later years have rarely seen, and
blessed or cursed with a natire so strangely
uniting the most characteristic qualities of
man and woman as to be in itself quite un
paralleled and unique. Just think of it try
to think of it ! Society and the world had no
longer any laws which Bho recognize I.
Nothing was sacred; nothing was settled.
She had to evolve from her own heart and
brain her own law of life. What wonder if
she made some sad mistakes ? Nay, is it not
rather a theme for wonder and admiration
that she did somehow come right at last ? I
know of no one who seems to me to have
been open at once to the temptations of
woman's nature and man's nature except this
George Sand. Her soul, her brain, her style
may be described, from one point of view, as
exuberantly and splendidly feminine; yet no
other woman has ever shown the same
power of understanding and entering into the
nature of a man. If Balzac is the only man
who has ever thoroughly mastered the myste
ries of a woman's heart, George Sand is the
only woman, so far as I know, who has ever
shown that she could feel as a man can feel.
I have read stray passages in her novels
which I would confidently submit to the
criticism of any intelligent men nnaoquainted
with the text, convinced that they would
declare mat oniy a mn could have thus ana-
1t7.P(1 . . n Att -lt a rP man Virrr1 T hava in
jyzeu Vie emotions of mannooa. l nave in
toy mind just now especially a passage in the
novel "Piccinino" which, were the author
ship unknown, would, I am sxtisfied, secure
the decision of a jury of literary experts that
the author must be a man. Now this gift of
entire appreciation of the feelings of a dif
ferent sex or race is, I take it, one of the
rarest and higher dramatic qualities. Espe
cially is it dillicult for a woman, as our social
life goes, to enter into the feelings of a man.
While men and women alike admit the accu
racy of certain pictures of women drawn by
such artists as Cervantes, Moliere, Balzac,
and Thackeray, there are few women indeed,
perhaps there are no women but one by
whom a man has been so painted as to
challenge and compel the recognition and
acknowledgment of men. In the Galaxy
some months ago I wrote of a great English
woman, the authoress of "llomola," and I
iipressel luy conviction thai on the wholo
she is entitled to higher rank as a novelist
than even the authoress of "Consnelo."
Many, very many men and women, for whose
judgment I have the highest respect, differed
from me in tnis opinion, l sua noia it,
nevertheless; but I freely admit that George
Eliot has nothing like the dramatic insight
which enables George Sand to enter into the
feelings and the experiences of a man. I go
so far as to say that, having some knowledge
pf the literature of fiction in most
countries, I am not aware of any woman
but this one who could draw a real,
living, struggling, passion-tortured man. All
other novelists of George Sand's sex even
including Charlotte Bronte draw only what
I may call 'women's men.' If ever the two
natures could be united in one form, if ever
a single human being could have the soul of
man and the soul of woman at once, George
Sand might be described as that physical and
psychological phenomenon. Now the point
to which I wish to direct attention is the
peculiarity of the temptation to which a
nature such as this was necessarily exposod
at every turn when, free of all restraint and a
rebel against all conventionality, it con
fronted the world and the world s luwf aud
stood up, itself alone, against t he domination
of custom and the majesty of tradition. I
claim, then, that when we have taken all these
considerations into account, we are bound to
admit that Aurora Dudevant deserves the
cenerons recognition of the world for tho
use which she made of her splendid gifts.
Her influence on French literature has been
on the whole a purifying and strengthening
cower. The cynicism, the recklessness ,'the
wanton, licentious disregard of any manner
of principle, the deoatsing parade of disbe
lief in anv higher purpose or nobler restraint,
which are the shame and curse of modern
irencn fiction, una no sanction in tne page.
of George Sand. I remember no passage in
her works which gives the slightest encourage
ment to the "nothinff new, and nothing true.
and it don't signify" code of ethics which
has been so much in fashion of late years.
find nothing in George Sand which does not
do homnge to the existence of a principle
and a law in everything. This daring woman
who broke with society so early and so con
epicuonsly, has always insisted, throigh
every illustration, character, and catastrophe
in her books, that the one only reality,
the one only thing that can endure, s the
rule of right and of virtue.
Mark Twain, in his "Memoranda," knocks
the bat over the eyes of a sometime Phila
delphia pulpit celebrity in this manner.
In a recent issue of the IiuUpenfant, the
Rev. T. De Witt Talraage, of Brooklyn, has
the following utterance on the sabiec. of
"Smells": . '
I have Rood Ctirigtlsn friend who, If he sat In the
front pew in church, and a worktneman should
enter the floor at the other en, would smell
him inRtADtlT. Mt friend Is not te 4lame for the
Hf-nRltlvenia of hi none, any more than yon would
nog a pointer for being keener on the scent than a
ntupld watch-dog. The fact Is, Jf yon had all the
churches free, by reason of the mixing np of the
common people with the uncommon, yoa would
keepone-hnlf of Christendom sick at their sto
mach. If yon are going to kill the church thus with
bad smells, I will have nothing to do with this werk
of evangellztlon.
We have reason to believe that there will
be laboring men in heaven; and also a number
of negroes, and Esquimaux, and Terra del
Fuegans, and Arabs, and a few Indians, and
possibly even some Spaniards and Portuguese.
All things are possible with God. We shall
have all these sorts of people in heaven; but,
alas ! in getting them we shall lose the so
ciety of Dr. Talmage. Which is to say, we
shall lose the company of one who could give
more real "tone!' to celestial society than any
other contribution Brooklyn could furnish.
And what would eternal happiness be without
the Doctor? Blissful, unquestionably we
know that well enough but would it be dis
tingue, would it be recherche without him ?
St. Matthew without stockings or sandals; St.
Jerome bareheaded, and with a coarse brown
blanket robe dragging the ground; St. Sebas
tian with scarcely any raiment at all these
we should see, and should enjoy seeing them;
but would we not miss a spike-tailed ooat
and kids, and turn away regretfully, and say
to parties from the Orient: "These are well
enough, but you ought to see Talmage of
Brooklyn." I fear me that in the better
world we shall not even have Dr. Talmage's
"good Christian friend." For if he were sit
ting under the glory of the Throne, and tho
keeper of the keys admitted a Benjamin
Franklin or other laboring man, that
"friend," with his fine natural powers infi
nitely augmented by emancipation from ham
pering flesh, would detect him with a single
sniff, and immediately tuko his hat and ask
to be excused.
To all outward seoming, the llev. T. De
Witt Talmage is of tho same material as
that used in the construction of his early
predecessors in the ministry; and yet one
feels that there must be a difference some
where between him and the Saviour's first
disciples. It may be because here, in tho
nineteenth century, Dr. T. has had advan
tages which Paul and Teter and the others
could not and did not have. There was a
lack of polish about them, and a looseness
of etiquette, and a wont of exclnsivenoss,
which one cannot help noticing. They
healed the very beggars, and held inter
course with people of a villainous odor
every day. If the subject of these remarks
had been chosen among the original twelve
Apostles, he would not have associated with
the rest, because he could not have stood
the fishy smell of some of his comrades
who came from around the Sea of Galilee.
He would have resigned his commission with
some such remark as he makes in tho extract
quoted above: "Master, if Thou art going
to kill the Church thus with bad smells, I
will have nothing to do with this work of
evangelization." He is a disciple, and makes
that remark to the Master; the only differ
ence is thai lid m?keR it in the nineteenth in
stead of the first century.
Is there a ohoir in Mr. TVs churju ? And
does it ever occur that they have no hotter
manners than to sing that hymn which is so
suggestive of laborers and mechanics :
"Son of the Carpenter! receive
This humble work of mine?"
Now, can it be possible that in a handful of
centuries the Christian character has fallen
awny from an imposing heroism that scorned
even the stake, the cross, and the axe, to a
poor little effeminacy that withers and wilts
under an unsavory smell ? We are not pre
pared to believe so, the reverend Doctor and
his friend to the contrary notwithstanding.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have
received the April number, of The Sunday
Ma a zinc, Good Worth, and Gcod Words for

any extended mention of them, and we can
only recommend them most cordially to the
attention of tho public.
