New York Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. j. T. Trowbridge is particular as to Tia
medium through which his work reaches thu
public. About FIVE years ago he received an i'm
portant-looking envelope which he found to CON
tain a communication from the publisher Of
New York weekly of little reputation, asking
him to write for that periodical Mr.. Trowbridea
went Immediately to MIR. Longfellow, with
whom he had the closest friendship and asked
him what he should do.
Mr.. Longfellow replied: "Give your price
and they will say no more about it
Mr.. Trowbridge consequently sat down and
wrote letter to the publisher, saying that he
would write short serial for his periodical al
the rate of $500 week. Then he rested, CON
tent that he had frightened at least one pub
Usher.
Again there came a 1etter-more important
looking than the first one When Mr. Trow
bridge opened it he found to his horror that hn
offer had been accepted. For the second time
Mr.. Trowbridge posted to his friend and asked
him what to do.
''Close the contract" was the reply
The story was written ard sent to the period
ical. 1t ran through thirteen Numbers aud
Mr. Trowbridge received So 900 for his work.
1t sometimes occurs that when a magazine
has accepted the manuscript of young author,
it keeps it until he has acquired fame This was
done, to the exceeding advantage of a we'll
known magazine, which bought manuscript
from Charles Egbert Craddock' some years
ago. 1t was religiously kept until Miss Murfree
made her appearance in Boston society as lion,
and then the magazine printed its story and
secured the envy of its rivals.
Most young authors believe that editors win
not read their manuscript This is something Of
mistake They not only read the work oil
young authors, but seek it when their produc-
tions have shown indications of future success.
Hugh Conway published his first stories in an
obscure paper in the south of England. He was
hunted up and given fame. E. W. Howe, the au-
thor of "A Country Town, published his first
stories in his paper, the Atkinson Globe. and was
found by an enterprsing publisher. Richard NAL
colin Johnston's first 'Dukesboroueh Tales APP
peared in Southern newspaper. DIR. Holland
noticed them, and since that time Mr.. Johnston
has published ten stories in the leading maya
zines. Mrs Burnett sold her first stories to the
Petersons of Philadelphia They were fully as
good as she has ever written since then. Frank
L. Stockton secured the prize of $500 for the
best story of humor, offered by magazine some
time ago. but man who then absolutely
unknown, E. W. Thomson, of Montreal, Canada
received Ike prize from the same magazine for
the best story OF adventure.

Let me add few notes as to Conway's career
His real name was Fargus. 1t is name well
and honorably known in the commercial circles
of Bristol. Out Of business hours he contrib
uted miscellaneous articles to the press and sent
many contributions to the magazines which
found their way into the waste-paper basket
The editor Of Blackwoods Magazine was the
first man of literary consequence to encourage
him. He accepted one Of his stories. and asked
him to write others. This was the beginning of
his literary career, and the success of ''Called
Back" which followed soon afterward. induced
him to withdraw from the firm of auctioneers OF
which he was a member and make literature the
business of his life. He has paid for it dearly
The tour of pleasure which he was taking when
he died was one of the dreams Of his life. His
change of occupation enabled him to make the
long-desired journey, and they have buried him
at Nice. JOSEPH HATTON.

Down gayly dancing river,
Floats my harque of golden Dreams
Mid musk from memry's roses,
And youths rejecting beams
Among the painted shadows,
Of thousand fairy isles,
Whose crimson blushing bosoms,
Are gay with primrose smiles.
The Shores like jeweled mirrors,
Bedecked by Natures hand,
Reflect the once loved faces
Of distant, silent band.

OF those voices sweet once more
Waited by perfumed zephyr,
From banquet hall of yore.
But now my barque is stranded,
And my dreams of long ago
Have vanished like the rainbow,
In heavens drifted snow.
The wierd wind seems to whisper,
Of all the once gay band,
That am left to walk alone,
Upon the cold white sand.
