ByrOn's Marriage.

"Childe Harold" was tremendous SEC
cess, as Byron himself indicates in an en-
try made in his journal at the time. Other
equally successful poems followed, in re-
gard TO every one OF which the poet was
treated By Murray, his publisher, with the
utmost generosity. Never in the whole
history of literature have relations between
author and publisher been more cordial
Byron sent for Murray one evening, and,

Blayne wandered steadily on through
the list of fashionable visitors" till he
came to Victoria Hotel: Sir Robert and

paper, saying: "Well Nellie, III go into
Stonelay with you tomorrow morning to
have look at the fashions. Here is Aunt
Sarah coming to see after u.s." as that re-
spectacle lady entered the room.
And there goes Mr.. Martins visitor"
said Nellie, as woman hastily closed the
door of the next house and hurried away.
''She must be late"
Rather" said Blayne.
The next day the detective and his in
tended walked into Stonelay, and after a
few minutes private conversation with the
manager of the Victoria he astonished
Nellie by insisting on buying her different
trash III all the shops that commanded
view of the hotel. At length, on his offer

a groom had been leading up and down III

LOOK OUT FOR IT!
Overcome by JOY.

In 1899 Philip H. Gosse, afterward so
well known as a writer upon natural his
tory, and the father of Mr.. Edmund Gosse,
was in London in a state of downright
poverty. He had Just returned from Amer
lea, and had but few shillings in his
pocket. His only immediate resource was
the manuscript of book which a cousin
of his. Mr.. Thomas Bell, who had already
achieved a reputation as a naturalist, had
offered to read and pass judgment upon.
The anecdote is related in Mr. Edmund
Gosse's biography of his father.
The manuscript was 1.-THE Canadian Nat
uraIist," and it pleased Mr. Bell so much
that he recommended it strongly TO Mr..
Van Worst, the distinguished publisher
of scientific works.
Philip Gosse's pride made him conceal
his real state from Thomas Bell, and
though the latter knew his cousin TO be in
need of employment, he did not suspect
that he was in such bitter straits.
Mr.. Van Worst appointed day for the
young author TO call on him. Meanwhile
the shillings, nursed as they might be, were
slipping, slipping away. The practice Of
going once day to small eating house
had to be abandoned, and instead IF IL a
herring was eaten as slowly as possible in
the dingy attic in Harrington street.
At last the day broke on which Mr.. Van
Voorst's answer was TO be given, and with
as much of the gentleman about him as he
could recover, the proud and starving au-
| thor presented himself in Paterncster row.
He was ushered in TO the cordial and cour-
teous Mr. Van Worst.
He no longer had hope, and expected in
a few moments to be out again in the
street, with his miserable roll Of nisnu-
script in his hands. The publisher began
| slowly:
81 like your book; / shall be pleased 10
publish it; l viii give you 100 guineas
| for it,"
| One hundred guineas! 1t was Peru and
| half the Indiesl
| The reaction was so violent that the de-
mure and ministerial looking youth, close
| ly buttoned up in mis- worn broadcloth,
| broke down utterly into sob upon sob.
while Mr.. Van Worst, murmurng. MY
| dear young mani my dear young man"
: fastened out 70 fetch food and minister TO
wants which it was beyond the power OF
pride to conceal any longer.

INSOMNIA.

Quiet. with weary limbs relaxed, lie,
And weary eyelids closed, awaiting sleep.
That holds aloof for thronging fancies keep
Cnwearied watch, and restless phantons ny
About the empty mind. Within the eye,
Instinct with memory. dead summers steep
Forgotten scenes with light; dead faces leap
To light again. But now, with querulous cry,
A sparrow breaks the silence; gathering feet
Of early toilers echo down the street;
The frosty light grows warmer on the wall,
And dims the luminous visions of the night.
Over the drowsy watchers swimming sight
Relenting slumber draws a dreamless pail.
