and then sold at e. rate Of $1o0 to $40 and
The field dropped 10 $50. Presently the

How Hancock FcD1n Love.

After Hancock graduated from West
Point his first duty WAS in connection
with an exploring party Ill the West. On
his way there he stopped for short time
at ST. Louis, and it was his custom there
to take horseback ride every morning.
AS he rode down one Of the streets one
bright sunny day, when it was still early.
he saw at the window OF one OF the finest
looking houses OF the city q very beauti-
full young lady. His eye caught hers as
he passed, and he inyoluntarily raised his
hat The young lady blusAed, waved her
hand at him, and then stepped back into
the shadow. AS the story goes, it Was q
case of love at first sight on Hancock 8
part.
Morning after morning he rode past
the house, hoping to see her again. AT
last one day he passed by on foot just as
she was leaving the house Oh the arm OF
q tine-looking old gentleman. The lady
recognized him again, as he could sec
from her bushes but she did not bow,
and just rs he passed she entered a car
riage, The old gentleman followed her,
ana the two drove rapidly away, I shall
not describe how Hancock took a cab and
kept the carriage III sight, nor how graft
fed he was when after short ride he
saw it draw up at the door OF one Of his
old army comrades. a moment later he
had dismissed Che cab, and knocked at his
friends house. His friend met him in the
hall, and in &. stanmerjng way he asked
for an introduction to the young lady.
A moment later he was taken into the
parlor AID introduced to Miss Almira
Russell and her father. Old MIR. Russell
was one of the rich merchants of St. Louis.
Ee took quickly to Hancock, and before
he left the house that afternoon, the
young officer received IL hearty invitation
to call, which, by the way, the young lady
seconded. Hancock did CALL and he called
often. The pretty young lady seemed to
be as much attracted to the gay young
lieutenant as the lieutenant WAS to her.
After short courtship they became
engaged and a short time later We're

STANDARD WORKS.
The Production of Much intellectual
Exertlon and study.

| Exerllon and study.
| A writer in that excellent literary
monthly, Queries, says: Pope published
nothing until it had been year or two
before him, and then even his printers
proofs were full of alteratieas, and.upon
one occasion his publisher thought 1t
wiser to have the whole reset, rather
| than to make the necessary corrections.
Goldsmith considered four lines a day good
work. and was seven years in writing the
Deserted Village" Hu1ne's ''History OF
England" was written on a sofa, and
every edition was corrected by the author
himself: until his death.
Robertson used to write out his senten-
ces on slips ofpaper, round them and polish
them. then put them in book, which in
turn underwent revision. Burke had all
! of his important works printed two or
three times at a private press before they
went into the hands of publisher.
Akenside, Gray, and even Thomson, lazy
as he is said to have been. were indefatig-
able correctors. johnson and Gibbon
| were the least laboriOus in arranging their
copy for the press.
Dryden generally wrote hurriedly to
| provide for the day, but his s.Absalom
| and Achitopher' and the "Hind and
Panther show painstaking in correction.
'Paul and Virginia was copied nine
times by the au utnor, St. Pierre. The
amatory epstles In "Heloise" Rousseau
wrote on fine gilt-edged card-paper, and
having folded, addressed, and sealed
them, he opened aud read them in the
solitary woods OF Clairens, with the
mingled enthusiasm of an author and

| Sheridan worked hard, and waited for
Judgment and taste in correcting, and
wrote In the open air, "the SUMMER the
better" A rapid composer was Lord
Byron, and he made good use OF his
''pruning-knife. Sir Walter Scott under
took the revision of the whole of the
"Waverly Novels" which showed his
liking Tor literary labor.
Wordsworth, Southey Coleridge and

| Canlpbell's alterations showed thought,
and generally were decided improve

very little.

son above, will add that the author Of
