Notwithstanding the good prices he re-
ceiyed for his book, Fielding was always
more or less in difficulties from his reckless
mode OF living. "Iom Jones'" however, was
nearly being sacrificed IN one of his impe-
cunious fits for the sum Of twenty-five pounds
The publisher fortunately asked for a day to
consider if he cOnd risk such a sum. and
Fielding in the meantime met ThOmsoB, the
poet. 10 whom he told the transaction.
Thomson sc0rned the idea of Fielding parting
with his brains for such a sum and offered 10
ret him better terms, but Fielding felt him.
self partly pledged. Never did author wait
more anxiously on a publisher hoping to be
accepted than did Fielding hoping TO be re-
fused. He was refused.
Jovfully he carried his manuscript 10
Thomson to fulfil his promise. The poet
introduced Fielding 10 Andrew Miller, who
handed the book over 10 his wife to read. She
discerned its merit and advised her husband
10 keep it. Over pleasant dinner, given by
Miller to Fielding and Thomson, the bargain
was made which secured Fielding, TO his
great delight, 600 for the story Miller is
said 10 have cleared 9lS00O by Tom Jones. "
out OF which he laid ieding, from time TO
time, various sums TO the amount OF $1,000,
bequeathing him also a handsome legacy

UAnd this virtue my Christian friends,
was a peculiarity which God bad given the
dear deceased. and ran like a red line through
his lifev Thus spoke minister lately, In Il
funeral Grafton. / always get IN BAD humOr
when / hear such Olt-repeated tgures OIL
enaeeb which mean nothing. This red line"
has suffered much ever since Goethe used 1t
in his elective Aflisities" n red line Is
spun into every rope used in the British
navy Goethe used that fact as an lllustra-
lion of the passions which Dermeate every
fibre Of the human body and every thought OF
the soul.
ORIGINALLY il was a good figure and eX-
plained the poets idea admirably, but now
fhe people do not know its meaning; hence 1t
does not convey any definite thought Our
literature is fall OF figures OF speech and eX-
praseiOns which have been used so often That
thew have lost all point and significance.
Figuratiye speech originated with the
pOets The great originals created them rom
Their intimate relations with nature, but
their followers merely initiate them. An IL
lustration Of this may be found IN Danish lit
erature in the beginning OF the century
Oellenschleger and GrundtOlg Transformed
our native tongue by interpretations Of IDEAS,
figures and forms from the Morse. The re-
generation was complete; the new fOTm6 OF
speecb were understood by the people. But
the present generation has inherited those
ideas, figures and forms as only so many eX-
pressiOns. The magic OF the language Is
gone The nut has been eaten, the husk re-
mains. The language, which was so express
eive TO the fathers, is virtually dead, because
the new generation no longer commune with
the old Morse genius.
An endeayor is apparent, which hunts for
new forms. At present there Is danger OF
running into absurdity and mannerism. This
applies not only TO the Danish but to all
literatures. The latest eXtrayagant use l
have seen is this OF Leon Cadet: "lhe moon
gradually passed into one of those blood-red
streaks. which the setting sun had left be-
hind and swan at last in that purple SEA-
deadly pale and bewildered, like head cut
of by the eXecutiOner."
Parallels, proverbs, figures and poetical
expression are meant 10 make our dry
languages more luminous. FiguratNe
language, is as Goldsmith said, the language
OF the gods; therefore, If IL cannot be used
correctly, it ought not to be used al all.

CHAPTER 1.
No NAYS LAND.

It was the twentieth Of August, eight
cen hundred and sizty-two. Corinth had
been evacuated more than two months
before. The Army of the Ohio had moved
eastward into northern Alabama. The
president and eminent Union generals
were anxious as TO east Tennessee, where,
it was rumored. the Confederates were
preparing for some new move.
High in the Cumberland mountains a
soldier IN the blue and yellow uniform
Of a private Of cavalry sat on his horse,
looking down ON the valleys Of the Sc
quatchie and the Tennessee. A carbine
was slung over his shoulder; Colts re-
volver was at his hip. He was long and
1.-the and graceful. About him was an
air Of refinement seldom found under a
private's uniform except during chat
war which called out men from all
classes, both in the north and IN the
south. His hair was light; his blue eve
was restless and denoted its possessol
to be man Of great mental and phys
ical activity.
While there was something statuesqua
in the appearance of the man and the
horse, they presented a marked contrast.

"Go, aud God bless Your' he said.
As the soldier gazed down upon the
expansive view different expressions
fitted across his face. At one moment
there was a serious look, such as men
wear on the eve of battle; at another a
shrinking expression; then dreamy one.
He saw territory that lay beyond the
Union lines. He wondered what war
ike scenes were hidden down there
within the blending Of rocks and rivers
and undulations, lying calm and sweet
before him that summer afternoon.
Were clusters Of white tents there:
Were brigades, divisions, army corps
marching;
Now he thought he could hear dis
tant creaking Of caissons and gun car
riages. But he knew this could not be.
If they were there, they were too far to
be heard The sounds never became
real The young mans fsncies were al
ways broken by the actual rustic Of the
leaves or some sound from the furred
or feathered inhabitants Of the noun
tains.
Then a scene he had passed through
the previous evening came up before
him.
He stood in the presence of a general
of division-the finest specimen of phys
ical splendor of all the generals Of the
Union army-one who was a year later
70 achieve the title Of 1.-The Rock Of
Chickamauga. The general was speak
ing while his subordinate was listening
respectfully and attentively.
Il am ordered by the department com

The general paused; then looking the
soldier IN the eve said impressively:

Tie GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, AID with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try, and its usefulness has been de-
monStrated and appreciated during
the NINETY ONE YEARS of its exist
ence. In its columns has always

events and the careful chronicling
Of the history Ct what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house

and work shop it has become in.
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is 90
close to Washington, the great GEN.
tire of news, enjoys daily the bane-
fit of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part CT the
world; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion of the United States as
well as from every part of the hab-
liable globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every sactlon of
the State is published regularly,
and all events Of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants is its after.
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
in its history and is steadily increas.

consult its advertising columns be-
fore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that of the daily.
This edition is sent out three times
