ROMANCE in REAL Lice

PAULINE DE- MEUtAE, a young lady Of good

having q taste for literature, made an attempt

pieces we're too long or too short-too grave,
or too Ight-anytbing, in short, bat entitled
to reception. Had Pauline not possessed ur-
common energies, as well az uncommon aba-
tiles, she would have found It impossible to
fight her way through the path that leads TO
literary success. Many a time and oft, in her
solitary chamber, she would cast down her
pen in despairing lassitude, but The difficulty
of seeing any better mode Of maintenance
made her always lift it anew, with revived de.
termination. Her efforts were at length re-
waided with something like success. Her
essays found favor with the managers of The
periodical paper called the pubEdciste, and
she became a regular contributor to its pages,
being paid for her labors in such a manner as
to maintain herself in comparative comfort.
She became even the object Of considerable
notice, and was occasionally an invited mem
