Rider Haggard on American Novels.

Rider Haggard on American Novels.
 Alex N. De Menil, in St. Louis Magazine.
 H. Rider Haggard's conception of the superlative in dullness is "an American novel,"
 Dorothy asks Ernest Gin The Witch's Head") what is the dullest thing in the world in his estimation. 'I don't know" he answers her. "Yes, I think I do; an American novel '" Dorothy coincides.
 Perhaps, if MT. Towels would not write so deprecatingly about flag gard's novels, the famous English man might not deem American nov els quite so dull as he says they are.
 At any rate, it is satisfaction to know that the time in which MT. Ri- der Haggard's views and his novels will excite any public attention, is very limited. A few more such per- formances as "A Tale of Two Lions'' would bring oblivion to the door of any writer, no matter how wide- spread his popularity.
 Haggard was born in 1856, at Bra denham Hall, Norfolk. From 1877 to 1870 he was master of the high court in the Transvaal.
 He is at present practicing law in London. Two hundred thousand cop- ies of "She" have been sold in England and the United States.

A SOUTHERN MEMORY.
BY WILL HuBBARD-KERNAN.

To, when o'er purple sunset seas The old day sadly drifts afar,
 watch the first faint yellow star urn through the oleander trees. think of those who loved me here, And marvel will clasp their hands Once more within these lower lands, Or in some vague, mysterious sphere. I see the light of laughing eyes, And hear the tender tones once more That thrilled me in the days of yore Like lost song from Paradise. We never know happiness
 Until it lieth stark and sweet Within it's white, white winding sheet, Beyond the power our lives to bless. O, friendsi wherever you may be Within this weary world today In gilded cities far away, Or green woods mirrored by the sea, Think not ye are forgotten yet.
 For, till my pulses cease to beat, Thy lives, so gracious, pure and sweet, My heart will never more forget. And thou for whom my harp is strung Upon these mountain heights to day, Know that the love will live for aye That from our brief acquaintance sprung love thy liberal mind-it takes No swift misjudgment from the crowd, But or ltselI, dll pure anu pTOuup Its own and honest verdict makes. And, if within the years to be
 One act or utterance of mine
 Can tighten any load of thine, pray that thou wilt call to me. For, if held it in my power,
 Der thee the bluest skies should bend, Undarkened to the last, oh, friendi By any storms that ever lower.  The roses with their hearts of fire Should stoop and kiss thy very feet, And life with rapture be replete In every fond dream and desire. Out of the passions and the strife And hatreds crowding round my way, Confronting me from day to day, ind the one sweet light of life. In knowing that have a crown
 In fond and faithful hearts that dare Defend me from the spear and snare Of devil foes who hunt me down; In knowing that have place
 In true and tender hearts like thine, Has glorifled this life of mine With one sweet attribute of grace.
