another blow, when fortunately the ship took q

we'll remember the time when Motley came
to this city poor and aud ambitious author
with a catch-penny novel under his arm, look
ing for publisher. The Harpera got the book
out, and the writer Of this had the pleasure of
selling it behind the counter of a Broadway
book store. 1t was called 'Morton's Hope"
and, like many other hopes, proved severe dis
appointment. Such was Motleys beginning in
1883. Almost every literary man was then a
failure.
Willis had failure on the Mirror, Greeley had
failed on the New Yorker, Park Benjamin bad
failed on the New World, Edgar A Poe was a
failure, and so were snch lesser lights as NJ. NJ.
Noah, George p. Morris, Charles r. Briggs, l.,
g. Clark and other Bohemiana of greater or less
degree Hence Motley failed in good company.
BRYANT was the only editor who was saving
mon y, though few were making a living,
wen considered doing we'll MIR. Motey'r
dime novel is now forgotten, and his subsequent
success shows how much writer can improve
with study and practice.
1t il well known that some of our best authors
commenced in manner 80 feeble as to after
ward surprise themselves. Cooper's first novel
''Precautloni was failure and is not printed
in the regular edition. The poet Shelley ast
published two-novels in his youth which art
never seen in his worka. Byron's Hours of Idle
ness of ldleness is another illustration. Hat
its author never written anything else, hoy
quickly he would have sunk into oblivion.
Even Dickens, in his life, wrote an opera, Il
which lie afterwLrd refused place in his work.
Motley learned that fiction was not his forte
aud hence attempted something Of more valu
and importance. Greeley also learned at tina
time that 10 try was not his forte, and therefor
discharged the muse which tends on that line q
business. Greeley's poetry and Motey's tictio

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY By
Ia RAILWAYS not ABANDONED.

The idea that the American people have
abandoned and condemned the further develop
ment Of the country, and that they mean to stop
building railways, has probably not seriously en-
tered any sanes mans head, or il it has, he only
entertains it during the whirl of the Panic. The
country has gone somewhat too far in the con-
struction of lines which were not yet really re-
quired, and which, therefore, hang an unpro-
ductive, dead weight upon its invested capital.
but even this serious error will be reotihed in
time and that not very long period.
The recuperative forces of the country are
known to be very great They have been put
to the test, and have shown their strength.
They will be exhibited, again, and we shall have
fresh cause for congratulAticn in the promptness
with which all general business operations will
recover from the present shock. The crops Of
the country are immense; the product Of bread
stuffs is nearly three times the need Of our pop
ulstion and we have q prodigious surplus for
sale at the very moment that the grain yield OF
Europe lie unusually deficient. Is it to be
supposed that when we have this grain for sale
when Europe wishes to buy it, when there ars
ships to carry it across the Ocean, that it will
OF supply and demand will carry it there, viii
enlarge all cur canals and increase the carrying
capacity OF our railroads, and will construct new
ones. We may expect to see. in the next ter
years, a great addition to our railways, simply
because the business necessities of the country
aud our commercial relations with the rest oi
the world require such further development
But while railroad building Is certain to con
tinue, the recent squall will warn projectors ant
and managers to proceed more cautiously, ant
to adopt more careful and economical methods
Roads cannot be entirely built with bonds, an,
the ratio Of the cash subscriptions to the borrow
ed money will have to be greatly increased. Tn
result will be sound and wholesome, roads wi
be built where business really demands then
and where they are likely to pay fair dividen
on their cost, while the surplus earnings OF tn
country will prefer investment in Real Estat
and real estate securities, or will be used in tn
legitimate operations of trade and product iol
at fair rates OF interest.
