A Novelist of the Past.

A correspondent of New York pa
per asks where he can obtain George
Lippard's works. He has looked far
and wide and has failed to find them.
And yet only yesterday, so to speak,
George Lippard was famous. In tho
last generation he was one of the most
popular American novelists. He
wrote book after book, and everybody
read them and called for more. OF
all the sensational and lurid story
writers that this country has produc-
ed he was easily the first. His Inn
agination was boundless and riotous.
His style was blood curdling.
Lippard leaped into the MONDAY
blaze of notoriety at once, and became
as popular in his day as Rider Hag-
gard is In ours. He was no penny-a-
liner for the slums, no dime novelist,
no hack writer for the blood and
thunder weeklies He was a master
of the mysteries of sensational story
telling, and he wrote good English.
Daniel Webster was certainly man
of good literary Judgment. If he
could find Lippard's romances fasci-
mating 1t is fair to suppose they had
merit. The great statesman was an
enthusiastic admirer of the novelist.
He pronounced him a man of genius
and predicted enduring fame Tor his
works.
But where are these once popular
novels today, and who knows any
thing about their author2 Even In
New York, city full of bookstores,
one has to appeal to the newspapers to
answer the question. Just what hap.
pened to Lippard will befall many a
man who Is now working like a slave
to win fame and fortune. Today a
mans name is ringing through the
land; tomorrow it will be remember
ed by few, and day after tomorrow
men will write to the newspapers ask
ing whether the man really lived Oh
was only a myth. Such is fame
in ninety-nine cases out of one hun
dred. But men will long for it, fight
for it and die for it to the end of The
world.-Atlanta Constitution.

A trial involving circumstances of
an exceptionally romantic character
will come before the tribunal of Ra-
gusa this month. About twenty years
ago peasant of the neighborhood of
Ragusa, being unable to support his
wife, emigrated to the United States,
leaving his better half in charge of the
village priest From the first luck
smiled on him, and he was able TO
send the priest fifty forms a month
for his wife. As his position improved
he increased the amount of his month
ly remittances. But the rascally rev.
erendo only handed five florins a
month to the woman. This went ON
for fifteen years, when the worthy
clerical gentleman forged certificate
of the husbands death, and PLACED it
in the hands OF the wife, whose death
he likewise certified in forged docu-
mept and sent to the husband in
America. Shortly afterwards he pious-
ly betook himself to Corfu, where he
hoped 10 spend the remainder of his
days in peace, rejoicing in the remem-

Did you ever ask man the time
just after he had inspected his watch
and put it in his pocketa If so, did
you ever receive an answer before the
man pulled his watch out and took an
other look at it2 Just why it is that
this is done would be difficult to ex-
plain but if you will ask your friend
to tell you the time the next time you
observe him scrutinize his watch and
snap the lid, you will find that he will
take another look at the dial before
giving an answer.-Cincinnat Times

Young Men.

The most anxious moment in the
history of a young man is that mo-
ment when he forsakes tho parental
roof and goes forth in the wide world
10 seek u livelihood. The interests of
life are crowded into that period. The
tears of mother, the counsels of a fa-
ther, consecrate that eventful mo-
ment. Away from home, old associ-
ations, and settled in some new home,
how apt the former restraints are to be
cast olfi The trial Of virtue now
comes. The test of the principle is
now applied. If he holds fast in his in.
tegrity, the prayers of his mother and
father, rising up when the still dews
are falling, will bring blessings, thick
as mamma that fell around the camp OF
the Israelites, down upon his path.
But If he proves faithless, then will
his memory embitter his life, then
will his parents welcome the grave,
that they may hide their dishonor in
the dust-Lewiston Journal.

decided otherwise. The unfortunate
woman, his victim, was forced to get
her living by begging from the pas
sengers OF the Lloyd steamers that
touched at Ragusa, and her husband
sought consolation in remarriage with
a rich American lady, by whom he
had two children After twenty years
absence he resolved to make a tour in
Europe with his family. He visited
Paris, Vienna, Trieste, and finally Ra-
gusa. On landing at that harbor a
beggar womaIiaccosted him and asked
for aims. They recognized each other
simultaneously. The beggar woman
was his wife, whom he believed to
have been dead several years. The
priest has been arrested, and will be
tried, when, in all probability, the
second marriage will be annulled.-
