Morg than this, our hablts of thought Inatinetively lead us to BET DUTY IN ANTAGONIAM TO PLEASURE, so that to tulk of a duty of enjoyment sounds self-contradictory, Many Influences faye combined in the past history of our race to produce this eonceptlon of tha relation of pleasure and duty, Unless this tdea hid Deen developed and fixed In. thelwuan mind, itis dificult to see how tha moral progress alrendy uttalned would have been possthte, Even that extrente form of this doctrine of the antagontsm of pleasure and duty In- volved in the aseatic renuneintion of all ens Joyment as slasul was doubtless a upefiil and neevssary belief in certain stages of soclut evolutloi. Lut it may be that this coneep- tion of pleasure has now lost ts willty, and will have to be displuced. by a view of life whieh sets a positive moral value on enjoy- ment, ‘The epleurien theary that nll good resolyos itself into pleasure has long been before.the world, and has won inany adherents, Sinee the revival of letters many writers linve con- tonded warmly against the meddicyal dispar- agement of pleasure, Of Inte years a niin ber of writers with a keen appreciation of the esthetle- resources nt our command haye {11 benutiful and: alluring language held up a refined hedouistle Ideal of life, aecording to whieh all irksome sense of duty: will melt away-in a rational cullivation of choice de- lights; and now a Jeading philosopher hay added the welcht of his naine to thls tendency of ethlenl thought by distinelly enforcing the duty of compnssing n pleasurable exist- ence, aduty wiich he thinks to be sadly neglected In these days, ‘The arguments put forth by Mr. Terbert Spencer in hls latest volume, The Data of Ethics," In support of tho provosition that i euttiyation of pleasurable consciousness 1s A PRIME DUTY OF LIFE, will bo sure to excite n good deat of attention, Tis fundamental idea fs that pleasure 18 goud, because It fs tho accompantment and mark of a healthy exercise of a useful or life-preserv- Ing function, — Pleasures and poling’ have been attuched to actions beneficial and injurious to the organism by the work- ing of tha laws of evolution, Since it is” an inevituble daw of our omental natuye ‘that wo should seek pleasure, and since, ton, itis a condition of self-pre: tlon and survival in the stroggle for ence that onr actions should tend to org eflicieney, it follows that the eoineldence of pleasurable and fife-serving activities must trom tho first have been a necessury condl- tion of permanent existence. Mr. Spencer thinks that people have altogether overlooked this truth, Even moralists who mizht be sup poa to know better have, he conceives, falted to recognize the function of pleasura- ble feelings as guides to sound living, Men are excused, If nat commended, when, ite pursuit of somo worthy distant object, Loy py, no heed to the bodily pain whieh should ave told tham that they were not fulAlling the first conditions of all eficient netion.

Mr. Spencer appears to feel a genuine abhorrence of the asvetle conception of pleasure, for he speaks of the “ taelt assttimption, common to pagan stofes and Cliristian ascetles, that wo wre fo dinbolically organized that pleasures are injurious and pains benetichal? edoes not attempt, as an evolutionist very well night have done, to aecount for the genesis ant survival of the nseetfe doctrine, Later on he dwells at some length on the enfoy tanee of rdne pursuit of Individual enjoy- ment as nv preliminary to an effective render- ing of service’ to others. In this way he would erect the eae of ploasure into a double obligation,—a duty to one’s self and to _athers, Most readers will allow that thera is much force In Mr, Spoucer’s reasonings, It may be doubted, however, whether the connnon neglect of pleasure as a good ihtug proceeds as inneh tram lingering ascetic dens as he supposes. In thelr severer fori these ideas are confined toa fow religious sects, anduven aniong thei they are not now enforced so tig- orously as formerly, [tis to be added that the modes of enjoyment more especially dls- paraged In this ascetic teaching are of VERY QUESTIONADLE VALUE, ft may bo doubted, for example, whethor much dancing, carried on into the smntl hours of the morning, or mich frequenting of hot and. badly ventilated theatres, con- duces to a really pleasurable and offictent life. On the other hand, it deserves to be re membered, perhaps, that, society distinetly | puts Its mark of approval on eijayment by | potually hposing the duty of pleastre-see' ing on {ts indlvidiial subjects, | Many a dull vente womnn will attend the social gnyeties of the season becnuse she is expected to enjoy Aserself in this any; and many buy man ‘WH take his month or six weeks’ hollday at a fashionable pleasuire-resort, not becatiae ho desires the kind of enjoyment offered, or even expects to realize it, but shyly beens soulety tells him to net thus.
