AN earthquake shock of consider
able force was felt in the eastern
counties of England Tuesday.
Chimneys and church towers were
tumbled down and houses rocked

memorable event in history If the
British isles should suffer the fate of
the lost Atlantis.

We f.ared she would miss us when she went away, and now, that she turns lovingly back to us, and breashes q solemn sigh across the surging deep. IS she looks bsck to America and sees ID imagination, our head bored aown upon our Jeff hand. while our right steers tce quill that sends broad fa t es of i ' abroad from Bloomington, we pity her. Poor girl! When the equinox is on end and the rain-drops batter on the tin roof that covers our fifth story sanctum, our heart goes out to her. and yearns for her return with one of Ella Wheeler's fiery yearns, and we treasure up the kissful depths of our fAthomiess love for her com ing. Cheer up, Mary, for ere the roses bloom again, you shall see us, even if we have to send you a tin-type. We are waiting and watching, and If you can hold out another moath, you may feast your eyes upon our classic features once again.

CHARMS OF A novELlsr.s LrrK.
James rzya, in css1hin MAss1ine.I

James Fzys, in CeTHhiii Hakzxinef
 The most popular novelist alive does not reaitz. per anDum what is every year pocketed by second-lA.e hasrisser. or a physician m moderate practice. His term Of prosperity IS also shorter, for the gift of imagination generally tails us long before those talents which are sufficient for ordinary intellectual toil And vel nothing IS more common than to hear other sise sensible people talk of the large incomes made by popular writers. Trollope and Scott were exceptionally quick workers, but there are few men who can write a three-volume novel. worth reading, under nine months; in the same time a popular painter can pro duoe at least three pictures, for each of which he gets as large a sum as the pop ular writer Tor his entire book. Nor does hts work take out Of the artist as is does out of the author. Indeed, if man looks tor wealth, the profession of li,era'ure is the very last would recommend him to embrace.
 On the other hand, such a guerdon as the novelist does receive is gained very pieas>ntly and accompanied by many Charming circumstances. He can choose his society where he likes, for all doors are open 70 him. If fool enough to pre- fer swelldom to comfort. he has no need to struggle for 1t, as men in other aliinps with ten times his income mus. needs do. Al the tables of the great he IS not placed according to the degrees Of rank tor heaven knows where he would bel put er1oys status of hIs own In ordin- ary society foo which IS more .par,,cu- lar" than the bes, circles T he Is re- garded with an exceptional charity. His position, indeed, among the mos. re- spectable people alwsys reminds me of a iuna'ic among the Indians: afhe Great Spint has sfflic,ed him with genus they think tor at ali events with some tntng of tha. natu,e), and 1t hehooves
 hem 10 wink at his l.t,le 6,mi,ies Nobody dreams of asking whether he IS High church, or los church. or even no church. However much he may DC at his ease in Z,on," nobooy accuses him of irreverence.
 It has been said of a certain parsonage that great many more people know f. F. - than I F knows; but the num- OCT of people who want to know your popular novel; is almost incredlble. h's photograph Is sighed for by literary maidens beyond the s-as. and by pro- fessaoral photogrA ohers (who take him for nothing) at home; his autograph is demanded from some qiarfer of the world by every poet Poems are written on him, books are dedicated to him. par agraphs about his failing health (often when he is quite well, which makes it more Pleasant) pervade the ne ~spapers, as though he were bishop who gives hopes of a vacant sec. If vanity is hts ruling passion-a circumstance not altogether unprecedented-se should indeed be a happy man. What, however. he is really to be congratulated upon is his work itself, which, always delightful to him, can be pursued anywhere and at any time he ;s tied to no place, and can take holiday when and where he will: while above all. the nature of his occu- patton brings him into connection with the p,easantest and brightest people.

Death of Robert Bryar.
Richmond Baton.

Robert Rryar, the gifted editor of the once famous Eitvaked Rafivay Journal during the days of it's greatest success, died in Alleghany, Pa, or the I4-h ult, at the residence of his father, in the ,6th year of his age. Poor Bryar's health had been failing for a year or more, but the saddest of all afflictions finally came to him in the form of an almost total blind- ness As showing his wonderful buoy ancy of spirit, in private leeter from him at that time, through his devoted wife, he says: "l am ssone-blind, but not halfs 20 unhappy as you may imagine me to be. My appetite is good, and if you were here 1 would cL illenge you for a contest in any direction" And with this affection on him he ~as enabled, through his wife acting as his amanuensis, to occupy for seTeral months a leading position on a newspaper of the city in which he died. May he rest in peace, and may he view those heavenly visions, vouchsafed even tn the blind, beyond the grave. And may the widow ind consolation in duty we'll performed, and in the expressions of universal regret for the deat, of genial gentleman and gifted iournslis..

 "Poor dear Gideon :" she sobbed. What will become of him and me? We shall be imprisoned for life; know ve shall.
