Literary Reputation.

A good illustration of the partiality
shown to literary persons of reputation
was given not long since in Boston.
Jam( Russell Lowell, a favorite con-
tributor to the atlantic, and one Of the
brightest of all our magazine writers,
concluded to play a Jest upon the pop
ular monthly. He accordingly wrote a
very clever article, which he called the
"Essence of American Humor," and
read it to number of his friends, who
said it was one of the very best of his
compositions. He employed some one
to copy it, and sign it W. Percy Paine,
and send it to the Atlantic with the re-
quest that, as it was a maiden effort,
the editor would give an opinion in
writing to said Paine. He waited a
fortnight, bu. heard nothing from his
paper, when being in Boston he drop
ped into the office of the Atlantic, and
meeting James S. Field, adroitly turn
ed the conversation upon Humor, and
remarked it was singular SO little was
written npon it.
Fields replied, ave get good deal
of manuscript on HumoE, but it is SO
poor we can't use it. threw the other
day into the waste basket long screed,
christened the Essence of American
Humor,' which should have been styl-
ed the Essence of Nonsense,' for a
more ridiculous farrago of stuff l have
never SEEM"
Lowell much to the surprise of the
editor, burst into a roar of laughter,
and informed Fields of the authorship
of the article. The editor turned more
colors than ale shown in a prism, and
swore it was one of LowelPs jokes.
"1ndeed it is" he responded, "and the
best one ever played. l never thought
very highly of my scribbling, but by
Jove, l didn't believe it was the most
ridiculous farrago of stuff you have ever
SEEM"
Field has been bored to death since
by the Cambridge set, and, by way Of
self-defence, declares he never read the
thing, but he didn't believe any man
who signed his first name with the in
itial and the second full, could write
for the atlantic. This is about as in
genious an excuse as he could make for
his partiality, but the story gives just
idea of how magazines are edited and
contributions regarded,

FREMONT sANDDSKY COUNTY, OHIO; FRIDAY FEBRUARY H.

"Praise your wife," These words
were before the eyes of his mind, and
he could not look away from them.
But he was not ready for this yet. He
still felt moody and unforgiying. The
expression of his wife's face he inter-
preted to mean Immature, for which he
had no patience. His eyes fell upon
the newspaper that was lying spread
before him, and he read the sentence:
"a kind, cheerful word spoken in
gloomy house is the little rift in the
cloud and lets the sunshine through"
Lee struggled with himself for a
while longer.
His own ill-nature had to be con-
quered first, his moody, accusing spirit
had to be subdued.
He thought of many things to say,
and yet he feared to say them, lest his
wife should meet his address with a
rebuff. At last leaning toward her,
and taking hold upon the shirt bosom
at which she was at work, he said in
voice that was carefully modulated
with kindness:
"You are doing the work beautiful,
Mary"
Mrs. Lee made no reply. But her
husband did not fail TO notice that she
lost, almost instantly the rigid erectness
with which she had been sitting, nor
that the motion of her needle had ceas-
ed. u
"My shirts are better made and
whittier than those of any other man in
the work shop" said Lee, encouraged
to go on.
care they?" Mrs. Lees voice was
low, and bad iu it slight huskiness.
She did not turn her face, but her hus
band saw that she leaned little to-
ward him. He had broken the ice of
reserve, and all was now easy. His
hand was among the clouds, and a
feeble ray was already struggling
through the rift it had made.
ayes, Mary" he answered softly,
'and I've heard it more than once what
good wife Andrew Lee must have"
"Did you9" was all she said.
"Yes, darling" was his warm spok-
en- answer; and he stopped down and
kissed her. "How strange that you
should ask me such question:
"If you would only tell me so, now
and then, Andrew, it would do me
good" Mrs. Lee arose, and, leaning
her face against the manly breast of
her husband, stood aud wept.
What a strong light broke in ,on the
mind of Andrew Lee! He had never
given his wife even the small reward of
praise for the loving interest she had
manifested daily, until doubt of his
love had entered her soul and made the
light around her thick darkness. No
wonder that her face grew clouded, or
that what he considered moodiness and
ilI-nature took possession of her spirit.
"You are good and true, Mary, my
own dear wife. am proud of you, and
my first desire is for your happiness.
Oh, if coald always see your face in
sunshine, my home would be the dear
est place on earth"
Chow precious to me are your words
of love and praise, Andrew" said Mrs.
Lee, smiling up through her tears into
his face. with them in nv ears, nv
heart can never lie in shadow"
How easy had been the work for An.
drew Lee! He had swept his hand
across the cloudy horizon, and now the
bright sunshine was cleaning down
and flooding that home with JOY and
beauty.

boat. Seeing officer Gordon on the
other side of the gap, he called out,
"Here, catch this baby" and tossing
the infant through the air, distance
of twenty or thirty feet, turned to look
for his better half. Gordon, being an
expert base ballist, caught the baby in
his hands, and the young one reward
ed him by smile of thankfulness. He
waited ten or fifteen minutes for the
father to come for the little responsible
ity, and began to think he would have
to adopt it as a juvenile Metropolitan,
when the father, having found his wife,
came and reclaimed the little one.
The ice continued to move, and the
stage plank was kept in position until
the ice was pretty well cleared of its
passengers.
One lady, who, in the confusion, had
drifted down for three or four blocks,
was left, and seemed unable to help her
self A gallant lrishman in the crowd
exclaimed, "Be Jabers, it'll niver do to
let a femsil go down in that way, at all,
at ALL" and throwing off his coat, he
ran to the lady, seized her in his arms,
and ran with her to the edge of the ice,
and tossed her over to the crowd on the
shore. His act was loudly applauded
by the multitude, and the police patted
him on the back, and called him a
'good boy"
There were three dogs on the ice, and
two of them reached the shore by
leaping the chasm, but the third fell a
little short, tumbled into the water, and
mass of ice striking him in the back,
he went down with yelp.
A thousand amusing incidents occur
red during the stampede on the ice and
among the crowd on shore. 1t was a
lucky escape for the travellers, all of
whom, no doubt, will vote for the i'm

across the Mississippi,
