ON TASTE. Taste is the power to perceive tho beautiful. Experience is needed for this, and, therefore, the formation of taste is not only varied, but gradual. No one would be content to adhere to his childish judgement, for in most cases it would be but an imperfect one. In tho period of youth all is novelty, and the estimate of everything is naturally exaggerated. A young man goes to the theatre for the first time ; the actors are by no means talented, the scenic arrangements are anything but realistic, but it is of no consequence, the youth is enchanted — it is a new world to him and he is, therefore, so carried away that he is absolutely incapable of forming a sound judgement ; it is not that his taste is bad, but it is simply uninformed. But besides experience, cultivation is required. To acquire a good style in composition, and, therefore, to thoroughly appreciate the best writers, it is by no means sufficient to nave written a great deal, experience is not enough here ; (here must be a careful study of the best authors, and this study will be a great assistance to the acquirement of a sound literary taste.
