THEIR QUANpARY.

The passionate poets and novelists are
not thriving as they were a year ago.
They have reached the point where they
must do better or worse to attract atten-
ton, and they are in quandary. One
young woman who has lately outdone
Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Amelie Rives
and Saltus and all that group, evidently
decided that the better course was to do
worse, and the result of her effort has
not been laurel leaves by the bale 1t is
a perplexing condition of things for the
hnid lot, What are they going to do?
They must be "Frenchicr" than ever or
do something the merit of which is
real.
II Is difficult to make suggestion to
these authors Of the school of red, red
blood. The reading world has had
enough red, red blood to last 1t for
several months, and now 1t wants bread.
The reading world always gets round to
bread, in time, and to furnish the bread
requires brains Maybe some of the
warm writers have brains. Now is
tbeir time TO demonstrate It.

And wondered at the wild galore

Where sky and strident forest meet,
While waves from Martha Washington
In gladness kissed our pendant feet.
