What Campbell Made From HIS roe"

What Campbell Made From His Poem
After forming many projects ana
failing to find coDgeDial occupation,
Campbell determined to devote all the
time that he could spare from bread
winning to complete poem for puoh,
cation. How he made living then ana
what he hoped to accomplish may De
learned from the following passage:
Il lived in the Scottish metropolis by
instructing pupils in Greek and Latin
In this vocation / made comfortable
livelihood as long as | was industrious.
But The Pleasures of Hope came over
me. took long walks about Arthur
Seat. coming over my own las !
thought them magnificent lines, and as
my Pleasures Of Hope got on my pu'
pills fell off. "
He was 50 fortunate as to become IN
innate with many whose names are
written 10 the book of fame, among
them being Francis Jeffrey and Thomas
Brown, Henry Cockburn, Henry
Brougham, and Walter Scott.
Campbell found in Thomas Robert
son a friend such as seldom falls to the
lot of young. ambitious, and impecu-
NOUS author. Robertson had read The
Pleasures of Hope" in manuscript, and
he said to the author: Campbell. II
you need money for the printing OF the
poem my purse is at your service" a
sum was mentioned. and Campbell said
MY dear fellow. God only knows when
| may be able to repay you" Never
mind that was Robertson reply, as
he handed the sum to Campbell.
Messrs. Muudell & Son published the
poem. Like some other authors, Camp
bell was dissatisfied with his bargain.
More than one version has been pub
lished of what occurred, but the agree
ment between the author and his pub
fishers. which was printed after DR..
Beattie had given to the world version
based upon the poet Is recollection. leaves
no doubt as TO the facts. Campbell wrote
to Nessrs. Mundell & Son on July 10.
1899. in reply to an offer made two days
before: II acknowledge to having
sold you the copyright OF The
Pleasures of Hope for two hundred
copies in quires." His complaint in
afterlife was that he had parted with a
work for a small consideration which
ought to have yielded him 1900 yearly
for life. Yet he does not deserve pity
If the results are duly weighed. The
200 copies produced e57. while for
every edition of 1000 he received from
Messrs. Mundell & Son ESQ as a volun'
tary gift. He quarreled with them.
and then they ceased to be generous.
However, be was allowed the whole
potts Of the seventh edition, and the
poem returned him goo. Many poets.

Whiskers on the Minister.

don't like to see the face covered
with whiskers, especially when it is the
face of minister.
Much of the power of public speaker
depends upon the expression of his
face. OF course one may argue that the
beard has hygienic value, but the beard
has no aesthetic or Evolutionary value.
The smooth face. too. represents a per
manence of personal appearance which
the beard does not.
Many people like to change their
boards. and change Of beard changes
them. TO minister who changes his
beard feel somewhat as did dog
whose master told him TO guard bis
clothes while he went in swimming
when the master came out of the water
and wanted his clothes the dog did not
recognize his master, and would not let
him have his clothes.
To the deaf the beard has a special
objection. Not few in every congre
CATION hear with their eyes.
l shall be glad of the dawn of the day
when every minister has smooth
face.-Chicago Advance.
