ANEW SOUTHERN NOVELIST.

Some of the most notable novels of the
day are from the pens Of southern writers,
and still they come. The last to add his
name to the list is WILL n. HARDEN.
Mr.. HARDEN was born in Dalton, Ga,
just thirty years ago. In appearance he
is the typical Southerner; tall. slightly
built, with dark complexion, dark eyes
and a dark moustache. Mr. HARDEN was
a precocous infant, for he began writing
at eight years, when he read q compost
ton on Temperance which was thought
much too good to be original. About two
years ago he began to make translations
from the German, which led him to think
that be would like to try his hand at orig
inal composition.
Some of the first of these stories were
sent to the Atlanta Constitution, where
they We're accepted, and complimented by
HENRY W. GRADY and JOEL CHANDLER
HARRIS, both of whom assured the young
author Of success; Mr. HARRIS compli
menting him particularly on his Southern
dialect These stories were widely re
printed and circulated. Later his stories
met with marked favor at the hands of
the editors The Youths Companion, Inde
ptndent, Current Literature, and other
papers and magazines.
Last July story published in The
Youths Companion evoked hundreds Of
letters from all parts of the United States,
some taking one view and others another
of the argument, but all showing an in
tense interest in the tale. This story Mr..
HARDEN has made the foundation of his
novel. s'White Marie" which has been Sc
cured for publication by MEssRs, CAssELL
q Company.
Not only is the plot unique, but the
style is bright, and the character drawing
strong and graphic. 1t is needless to say
that the publishers are C; ntident that the
story will make "a sensation in the North
as we'll as the South.

In ITS EDITORIAL columns last week there
appeared in the Charlotte Democrat po
em entitled 'My Autumn" We take il
that it is from the pen of our esteemed
friend, Editor w. E. CHRISTIAN, who has
recently been sorely bereaved by the death
of his young wife who was the only daugh
ter of the great STONEwALI JACKSON. Th,
lines are most touching, beautiful, anC
expressive of the grief of bereaved ant
devoted young husband. They touched
Us strangely and filed US with sympathy
for our friend which we cannot put into
words. The poem is as follows:
MY AUTUMN.
Once there was a Spring for me,
When she was here;
With morning song for melody,
And blooming eyes for flowers,
And golden smiles for sunny hours;
The sky was happy toned with love;
Twas April chant around-above,
When sac was here.
The Summer came with fevered hand,
When she was here;
Her cheek w,s by a hot wind famed,
And her eyes went out of bloom,
And clouded hours died in gloom;
She walked not to her baby's cry,
Dark lashes o'er-swept tired eye
She was not here.
Nesting, lift your little head,
And call her here
Leaves are crimsoned, falling, dead;
Heart and bough grow bleak and bare;
Frosty spangles edge the air.
Call her to our Autumn nest,
For our warmth lay in her breast,
When she was here.
Then, then came my wlntered home,
With her not here;
Nor will another Spring time come,
For JOY now Quiyering, how Is dead,
My darling and my heart are wed;
Leave them-froZen into one;
Keep away-both song and sun;
For shes not here.
