Annoyances of an Anthor.

1t NAV surprise the uninitiated tn
know that authors labor under any di--
advantages whatever, it being popularly
supposed to be all glory and c01ilel0- re
rose with the fraternity, that their plots
thicken as readily as their ink, their
treatises spring into existence without a
throe, and their fancies sing themselves
into measure and rhythm as spontane-
ously as roses blow or ferns unfold.
Schoolgirls fill their day-dreams with
visions of authorship. while to see their
name on the title-page Of anovel seems
to them the apotheosis Of mortal bliss;
that any one should be willing to give a
consideration for the privilege of read
ing their thoughts suggests q fate which
should lift one above the petty ills and
vanities of everyday life, and they envy
an author accordingly, and regard him
with as much interest and yeneration as
q naturalist would bestow upon some
unslassified fossil of the pre-Adamite
world. But this admiration can b.
hardly looked upon as disadvantage,
except when it assumes the shape of n
chronic request for autographs. Every
one seems to feel that an author is q sort
of public edifce which he or she ha-
helped to erect, and consequently said
author is deluged with letters begging
not only for photographs and auto
graphs, but for recommendations OF
people of whom he never heard before
for positions of which he is equally ig-
norant. This one applies to him for in
fuence to get a son into West Point

man in the grocery line; another, tr

the Mayfiower, if the heroine of his
novel married after her lovers death, il
he borrowed his plot from an old Italian
play, if he was educated at Harvard OF
self-made, whether he believes in pro-
toplasm or revealed religion.
All this may be amusing to the recipi
| ent, and may show what deep hold
| the author has upon the public mind
bnt it is none the less annoying. He
has neither the time nor the inclination
/ to answer them all, but he he>itates T.
defradd them of the inClosed postage
stamps. 1t would require quite an out
lay to supply each of his admirers witt

of sameness in writing ones own name
over and over, however distinguished
the name may be, which no flattery car
disguise, and yet to refuse an autograph
seems churlish-some invalid or some
gushing girl may have set her heart up
on it. But perhaps his greatest annoy
