The critics are all agreed in re - ng wit and humor as two sep s ate and distinct things, but :they have never been able to agree upon any satisfactory definition of the dif- ference between the two. Perhaps the: difficulty may be explaiped, in. part by the fact that there is a good neal of mirth -provoking matter in both 'literature and life which is neither wit nor humor, a fact which is overlooked in almost every at- tempt to define the respective limits of these. Indeed our heartiest laughs are at precise'.y this kind of thug ; at ludricous incongruities of thought or expression which are ir- resistibly funny, but are neither: wit or humor, they are oftenesl. found, perhaps, in- the company of one or the other, or both of these, andare closely akin to both. Te define this kind -of ;thing, to describe it or to separate it from it%.. better recognized cousins (would be impossible, and it is sometimes 'equally impossible for anybody to. discover just what- it is that makes us laugh in things that do` Blake us laugh whether we will or not. We readily recognize the character and distinctive qualities of a witty remark, ar of a bit of humor, or of a pun, lout the merely laughable thinly which is ' not a play upon words, and not wit, and not humor, seems beyond the grasp of analysis. We experimented littI nut long siu.ce with something of this kind: It was a newspaper paragraph with no real point whatever in it, and yet every ..friend to whom we read. it laughed heartily at it, merely be- cause it said something about a young Japanese " writing home to his." Why we should laugh ,at such a thing none of us could possi- bly say, but we did laugh neverthe- less. The kaughable thing in the bur- lesque school -boy -compositions, that ao: the rounds of the newspapers every now and then, is of this un - discoverable sort. These compo- sitions ompositions are irresistibly funny, no doubt, but why or wherein they are so:9 ane of -us .;an tell. We know thM•y are neither witty nor humor - oris at the very moment of our laughing at them, but we lath for all that. We may say that we laugh at the absence of any proper relationbetween the ideas grouped together in them, but when one stands in a crowd and hears broken bits of'half a dozen conversations, he has this same reason for laughter in still greater farce, and yet he feels no temptation even to smile. The thing which, for want of a better name, we are accustomed • to call American humor is largely com- posed of this very elemeit. We smile at the remark that " a Chicago poet begins an apostrophe to the ocean with Prodigious Dampness hail 1' " And we discover 'a similar- ly amusing incongruity in -Abe! fact that an editor in the scarcely born town of Duluth, called the aspiring village " The Zenith city of the un- salted seas." Stonewall. Jackson bimsef, with all his seriousness of dispositicn and habit, is said to have laughed immoderately when a drunk- en pri,Tdte toasted him with,- " May I live to see you stand on the highest pinnacle of Mount Ararat, and give the command, ` By the right' of na- tions front into ern' res ! Worlds, right face 1' 'r A lecturer once convulsed his audience with 'an incongruity of which he seemed at the moment al- most unconscious. He was talking of affectations, and particularly of the one which induces people to sign the initial of their first with the whole of their middle name. Some- times "' he said '" this sounds welt enough, but these cases are excep- tional, We all like ' E. PTuribus Unum .hut, who could stand = P. Jonathan Pillsbury 7'" Artemus Ward was full of this. incongruity. When he spoke se- win Loan lone EST, either on riously of " G. Washington," he was Parties requiri the only man in the house able to to keep his countenance, an • even the dreariness .of Pitncft was broken when, in a letter to that paper, he spoke of Shakespeare ' as a " Boss Poit," and pronounced his tomb a success." And when he went oti to remark that " Mr. S. is now no ring his stay in London_ in�st.ie: in terests . of the 'American Literary II Bureau,.. concluded an `agreement -with Mr. Wilkie Collins, and Mr. Collins will sail for" America in. August, under engagement for a Jong series of lectures. Charles Bradlaugh, a leading reformer and a lecturer of vigor, is:also coming. Charles Reade made a conditional arrangementand may come next year. "You Atnerir .nos," he ,re- marked to Mr. Elderkin, " can never understand that a man at ti, time of life, comfortably settled in Lgriclon, and with Plenty to do, should not be' longing, to cross the Atlantic and visit an 'unlown country." Spurgeon answered that no money inducement, would call him into the lecture field.
