Some of the Trials of Authorship.

To be known as writer is to become
public property. Every book a writer
publishes say, rather, every line he
traces-is an open sesame as good as a
latch-key for some one it may be some
score, or hundreds, or thousands. The
already recognized author, with whom
his afhnities may be more or less strong,
takes his hand as a brother-after the
public has accepted him-sometimes
before. The unsuccessful authors,
whose efforts find their natural habitat
in the waste baskets of the maya
zines and newspapers, seeing that he is
atlOat, struggle to the surface through
the dark waves of oblivion. and grasp at
him, in the vain hope that he can keep
their heads, as well as his own, above
water. The hitherto undiscovered TWEEN
tieth cousin starts up in the huckleberry
bushes, and claims him as a relative
That citizen of the world, the borrower
whose remittances have failed to reach
him, is at hand to share the good fortune
of his literary friend, whose works, as
he says, have been his travelling COM
paniOns from China to Peru. The poet
with his manuscript, the reader with his
larynx, invade his premises, and he
must read and listen, perhaps to his OVID
verses. until
He back recoiIs, he knows not why,

Rejoice, o man of many editions!
You have sold your books-yes, and
you have sold your time, Jour privacy,
your right hand, if that is the one you
hold your pen in, and slice of yourim-
mortal soul with it! For if you do not
sooner or later explode in all the mall
edictions of Ernulphus and Athanasius,
you are gifted with patience that Job
the all-enduring might have envied.
There is one more trial which touches
the finest sensibilities of an author. The
reader who has adopted him as his favor
tie, or his object of admiration, has
formed an ideal of his person, his ex-
preston, his voice, his manner. How
rarely does an author correspond to this
ideal picture! How often is the visitor
who has made pilgrimage to the shrine
of his demigod disappointed, Olsen
chanted, and sent off regretting that he
has exchanged his false image for the
real presencei Let every pilgrim on his

THE GOLDEN LAND.


Lonely Ger Life's desert dreary,
One broad waste of glarIng sand,
Roam i, weak and worn and weary,
Searching for my Golden Land"
For they told me when started
On That journey, years ago,
Hopeful, blithe and happy-hearteds
Ignorant OF pain and woe,
That, beyond the line of brightness
So this desert looked to me
Dazzling in its silvery whiteness,
Like the foam on summer sea
Was the Golden Land enchanted,
known TO youth OF every ayei
by the hand of artist painted;
Sung by poet, sought by sage;
Land where hopes have glad fruition;
Land where dreams are dreams no more;
I'LL, before my longing vision,
Seemed to rise its glorious shore.
Sense enraptured with its beauty,
Soul enraptured with its bliss;
What cared that life meant duty
1, who owned estates like this?
So, from childhood's happy valley.
Out upon that sparkling sand,
Eagerly stepped and gayly-
All! that was my Golden LRndI
But left it, little guessing
AlLthe wealth left behind:
All the beauty and the blessing
That no after-search can find.
That wild landscape stretched before me,
Swift sped, the goal was nigh,
While like furnace walls, bent Ter me,
Quivering with white heat, the sky.
OF the happy future dreaming,
OF the glOrieS just before,
On the fair horizon cleaning
That enchanted, smiling shore.
And saw, as L came nearer,
waving trees and sparkling streamsi
Fairer shone the scene and clearer,
Brighter than my brightest dreams
Groves and gardens softly shaded,
Stately mansions snowy white
But the vision slowly faded,
Faded from my ravished sight.
Then grew so faint and tired,
That only lOnged for rest;
All my glowing hopes expired
And despair my soul possessed
NowI know the land enchanted
That cleaned fair before my eyes
Was but desert mirage, painted
On the braZen, blazing skies;
And my feet shall wander ever,
On this scorching, burning sand;
1shall faint and fall but Recsr
Shall find my Golden LandP'

THE CASES.

The Supreme court of the United States
has rendered decision in the five civi-rghts
cases submitted on printed arguments about
year ago. The titles of these cases and the
States from which they came are us follows:
No. l. United States against Murray Stanley,
from the United States Circuit court, District
of Kansas; No =, United States against
Michael Ryan, from the United States Circuit
court, District of California; No. 3, United
States against Samuel Nichols, from the
United States Circuit court, Western District
of Missouri; No. 26, United States against
Samuel ID. Singleton, from United States Cir
cult court for the Southern District of New
York, and No. %, Richard A. Robinson and
wife aganst the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad company, from the United States
Circuit court for the District of"Tennessce.
These cases were all based on the first and
second sections of the Civil Rights act
Of 1875, and were respectively prosecutions
under that act for not admitting certain col
ored persons TO equal accommodations and
privileges in inns or hotels, in railroad cars
and in theaters The defense set up fl every
case was the alleged unconstitutionality of
the law. The first and second sections of the
act, which were the parts directly in con-
tnOverSy, are us follows:
SECTION l. That all persons within the juris-
diction of the United States shall he entitled TO
the full enjoyment Of the accommodations adj
vantages, facilities and privileges OF inns, pubic
conveyances on land and water theaters and
other places of public amusement subject only
to the conditions and limitations established by
law, and applicable alike TO every race and color,
regardless OF any previous condition OF serv-
itude
The second section provides that any person
who violates the first section shall be liable TO
forfeit $500 for each offense, TO be recovered
In Il civil action and also to IL penalty of from
$500 to $1,000 fine, or imprisonment from
thirty days TO one year, TO be enforced by
criminal prosecution. Exclusive jurisdiction
Is given TO the District and Circuit courts of
the United States In cases arising under the
law.
The rights and privileges claimed by and
denied to colored persons in these cases were
full and equal accommodations in hotels in
Indies cars on railway trains, and in the dress
circle in theaterS.
