HAwTHoRN's FIRST NOVEL.
The Loss OF His Surveyorshtp stirred
Him to Write 1t. r.

Hawthorne was happier in these years Of
manhood than he had been in his youth.
1t might almost be said that his marriage was
the making of him; for that had brought him
back into the world before 1t was to iate-be-
fore the doors of solitude were closed behind
him forever.
Yet, these early years of welded life were
a time of struggle; for he had lost money, and
had little to live on. Knowing his need OF
an assured income to bring up his young fam
lily, some of his friends in 1876 secured his
appointment as surveyor of the port of Salem,
the town where he had been born about forty
House for three years. with increasing dis
like for the work; and then he was removed.
When he went home one day, earlier than
usual, and told his wife that he had lost his
place, she exclaimed: "Oh, then you can write
your book"
And when he asked what they were to live
on while he was writing this book, she showed
him the money she had been saving up. week
by week, out of their household expenses. u
That very afternoon he sat down and began
to write the more serious work OF hcton he
had loaged for leisure to attempt. 1t was
really the first book he had written since the
forgotten and unknown romance; the other vol
tales, while this was to be a story long enough
to stand by itself. Il
A broader experience is needed to compose
q fulhgrown novel than to sketch a story, and
the great novelists have often essayed their
first elaborate fctions when no longer young.
Scott was more than forty when he published
the first of the Wayerly novels; Thackeray wes
not far from forty when Vanity Fair was
finished; George Eliot was almost forty when
Adam Bede's appeared. and Hawthorne was
forty-six when he sent forth 1.-THE Scarlet
Letter" in 1S5o.-St. Nicholas.

R0sEBERY AS AN AUTHOR.
He Has Wade at Least One Valuable
Contribution to Literature.

Lord RoSebery has made at least one
considerable addition to English litera-
ture. I am speaking of his one-volume
life of the younger Pitt which was pub
lished three or four years ago. The book
makes but a small volume and belongs to
a series called Twelve English States
men," to which Frederic Harrison con-
tributed "Oliver Cromwell" and John
Morley gave '"Walpole" and Chatham"
The preface to Lord Rosebery's Volume
contains a touching allusion: .'This little
book has, been written under many disad-
~vantages, but with a sincere desire to as
certain the truth. My chief happiness in
completing it would have been to give it
to my wife; it can now only be inscribed
to her memory Since the death of his
wife. in 1890, he can hardly be said to
allow himself to turn long from his pub
lie work. The volume On Pitt was re-
ceiyed with something like a unanimous
cry of praise from the newspapers. The

Lord Rosebery is one of the most
charming takers I have met. The word
charming" pest describes the peen4iar-
}ity Of his talk. He has read an immen-
sity of literature. He does not profess e.
be a scholar, I suppose, in tfre strfctest
sense of the word. but he certainly has
read and appreciated a great variety Of
books. It would be hard TO find out the
book of our time or of others about
which he cannot talk. 1 can hardly nm
agine a conversation being started
among educated people N which he IS
not qualified to bear a leading part. One
can only wonder more, and more at the
fresh. keen interest which he takes in
everything that pertains to life near or
far, past or present The minds of most
of US travel steadily along 5ruts or
grooves n our minds, yes cast no
glance aside or abroad. The mind of.
Lord Rosebery seems TO glance around
