The roof is broken by bold projections of

good effects by casting strong shadows.

gabled extension, porch and small dorIner

From the dining room you pass through

in the attic, which gives the appearance of

The essay was written in so admirable
style. as were his letters and papers
generally, that his friends strongly
urged him to enter literature as offering
more inducements and higher rewards.
Having for some time had secret bias
i'll favor of letters, he decided on fiction.
and wrote "a Laodicean'-he was then
thirty -fivc-which, though clever and
interesting, had but moderate success. .
The next year he brought out "Under
the Greenwood Tree" followed by "a
Pair of Blue Eyes," which demonstrated
his fitness for the career he had chosen.
Far From the Madding Crowd" placed
him in tho front rank, and in "Tess" he
has clearly surpassed himself, as well as
his contemporaries. 1t has had an enor-
nous sale at home, and, believe, in
America, and has already been trans
lated into French, German and Swedish.
and continues in great demand 1t is
thought that he will make at least $780,
600 from the book; not unlikely much
more, as its fame is steadily growing.
Hardy's soul is in his profession. Heis
constantly studying and preparing him
self for the work he has in hand. Nearly
every one of his novels describes par
ticular part Of England, and it is his
custom to spend some months in that
part, observing nature, human and ex-
ternal, before beginning to write. He
writes, too, with extreme care, and is
very methodical in his labor, giving
usually five on six hours day to it.
He is reputed to found most of his
characters on actual persons, filing up
the outlines with differences and imagin-
inSs of his own. He is an ardent lover
OF and in earnest sympathy with the
common people, as his stories attest,
and he spares no pains in depicting them
faithfully. His opinions, social and
political, as is obvious from 'Tess" par
ticulary, are very liberal, if not radical.
He is opposed to most of tho prejudices
and conventions of the upper classes
and is not, therefore, in favor with
them-a fact to which he is entirely in
different.
AT the same time he is bright con-
versationist, has pleasant manners and
is fond of congenial society, Of Ameri-
cans especially, who, as a rule, are fond
of him. He is on intimate terms with
many of your cultured compatriots of
both sexes who are frequently in Eng
land, and finds their society delightful.

LONDON, Oct. l-.-Thomas Hardy has.
by his latest novel, 'Tess Of the Dur

the first living British novelist, many
readers regarding it, indeed, as the
greatest work of English fiction.
He is said to be distant kinsman of
Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, who at
the battle of Trafalgar was Nelson's flag
captain, and received the hero's last
words, that have become famous:
