stood. 1t was as If they brake through
the sky" or rather as If the earthly atmos-
phere grew thin and revealed them ON the
outskirts of the heavenly place where 1t
touched the earthly Then they glided in
70 the chapel but whether with wings or
without Edric could never remember, the
stranger leading the host, and there, with
litanies and genuaexions, the celestial
convoy dedicated it to the service of the
Highest.
Edric had heard the monks singing both
at mathis and at vespers as he threw his
lines and pulled in his fish day by day, but
never had he listened to such TIE Deums
and Glorias as thes ethat shook the monas-
terry like a mighty wind. He was creeping
cautiously 40 the threshold Of the door,
throbbing with curiosity and wondering if
1t were lawful to enter or even to look up
on the altar, when there came rustic, a
sweep of vast wings and sudden darkness,
and out Of the darkness the voice of the
stranger:
"Give me to eat Edric," it said
But Edric replied, cap in hand, II have
toiled all night and taken nothing"
'Where learnedst thou those wordsY"
the old man asked, and as Edric's pupils
expanded in the starlight, which was the
only light now that the chapel stood a
black heap against the sky, he saw that
the stranger smiled, apd sudden fash of
thought made the fisherman catch his
breath.
''Be not afraid" the stranger said be-
nignly II am Peter, and feed my Lord g
sheep as he commanded me. Thou remem-
berest the words in Holy Writf And hold
the keys Of heaven; they are even now in
the pocket OF my robe-and open to whom
will. must be gone, for a great multi
tude Is even now waiting at the gate. BE
not afraid, but hearken."
II fear naught, said the fisherman
"that Is, naught but the devil" But his
teeth chattcred as he crossed himself.
$50 then TO the bishop" commanded
Peter, "and tell him what thou hast seen
and heard this night. And hereafter thou
shalt find good fishing, save only on a sun
day. Promise me thou wilt not drop line
on the holy day and that thou wilt give
food TO my poor.
Edric promised quickly, for indeed he
could not we'll do less, knowing that he
was Keeping souls out of heaven, and as
the saint vanished, with much jingling Of
keys, he made clumsy haste TO put the
river between himself and the chapel
Next day, when the bishop arrived with
inter and crOzicr and n great retinue, the
fisherman met him on the farther river
bank with noble salmon in his hand, the
gift Of Peter, and told him in many words
the tale of the night just past
And so 1t befall that the chapel had no
further conservation, for even the bishop
was not sure that hc could surpass st. Pc.

dent. They met with such favorable reception that he took up the writing of poetry seriously. Two books of his poems, Cup and Bells" and Rings and Love-Knots," have gone through several editions, and third volume, "Rhymes and Roses, :" will appear this fall. Some of his best known poems and songs are: "My Little Girl" "A Little Knot of Blue" favorite Yale song, Bessie Brown, NJ. D." 1.-The Captains Feather, and series Of home songs, very popular in the south, among which are Aunt Marthas Spinning Wheel" "The Grapevine Swing" Where the Apple Blossoms Blow and Ny Grandmother's Turkey Tail Fan" Many of his songs have been set to music by half dozen com posers.
 Meeting Mr. Peck in New York, it seemed good chance to learn some thing of literary conditions in the south at first hand from one competent to speak as resident and observer un- hampered by any business or journal istic connections. He seemed to think oiito ohe Oi euS BIedI uilstIdHSeS bO literary progress in the south was the lack of books-of library facilities. 'In New England" he said, "almost every village has its library of some sort, subscription or public. It is not so in the south. There are few public libraries outside of the cities. There is little chance, either, outside of a few cities like New Orleans, Savannah, Atlanta and Louisville, for writers to get together and compare notes. Each ore must work out his or her salvation alone Another drawback is that the young men, through poverty, have to go to work very early in life. If they attend one of the state universities their completion of the course depends on the success or failure of the cotton crop"
 The women, Mir. Peck said, have more leisure to cultivate literature, and take an active part in establishing the clubs and societies for literary culture which are springing up throughout the south. His own town of Tuskaloosa was fair
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-08-25

example, there being the Woman's Lit erary club, consisting of married ladies, which meets fortnightly at the mem bers houses. and at which the usual pro- gramme of papers on literary subjects, evenings with authors, discussions of papers read, etc., is followed; also, clubs of the young women, who get up courses of study, and perhaps engage some experienced person to direct them. The men are too closely devoted to business to be able to give much personal attention to these matters, but supply financial assistance in get ting up lyceum courses and other en- tertainments Much is accomplished by these clubs in a general way.
 The writers of the south depend very largely, Mir. Peck said, on their own newspapers as means of gaining foothold. 4 number of the papers in the larger cities pay reasonable prices for accepta ble articles and poems, thus giving ambitious authors q chance to try their skill without directly compet- ing with already successful authors in the magazines. Joel Chandler Harris, Kate Chopin, Frank l.. Stanton, Pearl Rivers. Mrs. Mollie Moore Davis, Mrs. Julie K Wetherell Baker, whom Mir. Peck considers the best essayist of the south and many others whose names have been known for a dozen years, first gained recognition through their local press. Some of these writers who have met with success prefer to con tinue their work for the papers, while others confine themselves to syndicate and magazine work.
 Mir. Peck said that writers of verse also are apt to get foothold through these papers, which welcome and en- courage anyone who shows promise. Besides Mir. Stanton, Mir. Gordon Noel Hurtel and Mir. Edward N. Wood are doing good work for Atlanta papers. Charles Bayne. of Savannah; Aubrey Harwell, of Birmingham, Ala; Robert Loveman. of Dalton, Ga.; Marion Ham. of Chattanooga; Hamilton Jay, of Jacksonville, Fla, and Mrs. Belle k. Harrison and Mrs. Clara Jamison, of Tuslaloosa, he thought, all were malx- ing their way as writers of verse Ill local papers, and would gain wider field ere long. Some of them already con 1 tribute to Boston and New York papers. 1 Mr. Peck did not think it necessary to
 mention in detail better known writers,
 such as Burns Wilson, Will H. Hayne
 and Madison Cawein.
 | Mobile, in his own state, he said was I quite little literary center in it's way. Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson. whose
 books sell widely throughout the south I. lives there, and also Mr F. c. De Leon, I who publishes his own books and is. sues special literary paper for Mardi

 and sketches, is also resident Of Mo 1 bile.
 ] As to the recent efforts to establish 1 a magazine in the south, Mir Peck

easy to recognize the active, alert men who come from busy centers like Bir- mingham, Atlanta and Louisville.
 Then there are the quiet fellows who peg away at their work in dreamy old towns, gaining name and fame in am other way, and who put III an appear ance while their books are going through the press-sometimes not oftener than once in two or three years.
 But the fact is, they all.come north to get their books published-to Boston or New York or Philadelphia. It is really surprising how absolutely the book publishing business of the United States is centered in these three cities, and especially in New York One is led to wonder why English capitalists do not combine and buy up our pub- fishing houses, as they have bought up the breweries and cattle ranges, and consolidate them in one great trust. 1t would be a simple matter, think, if enough money were offered.
 One of these quiet fellows from the south is Samuel Minturn Peck, whose dainty volumes of verse are among the most popular in the country to-day. At a time when there is a discovery of new great author here every week (tri- weekly in London), it is comforting to think that nobody discovered. Mr. Peck, that, like Topsy, he seems sim ply to have ''growed." It is about ten years since his lyrics and songs began to appear in the newspapers, and were quickly copied from one end of the country to the other. His reputation as poet was fully gained before he thought of publishing a volume, and when he did seek publisher he found that his wares were welcome.
 Tuskaloosa, where he lives in the old family homestead, is the university town of Alabama. The new movement has scarcely struck the place as yet, though there are signs that it will do so ere long. The village is at the head of navigation of the Warrior river, which

ON THE LANDLORD.
His Exaspersting Experience with Non-
 Pa Ing Tenant.

His Exasperattng Experience with NOn-
 Pa Ing Tenant.
 A good story is told of well-known landlord who has been having any amount of trouble during the hard times to collect rents from his tenants There was a certain man with large family who had occupied part of one of his houses in the suburbs for num- Der of years. The man was thorough ly honest, but down on his luck. The landlord bore the loss of his rent with considerable fortitude until he thought it was some one else's turn to help the fellow little; then he went to him one day and told him, with all seriousness, that he was intending to give the house going over, it was out of repair; and he had decided to expend a little money on 1t and make some important altera- tions, and as it would be some expense for the man to move, he generously of fered to order team for him and settle the bill himself.
 The matter was arranged with the utmost friendliness on both sides, and the landlord went his way, feeling quite like the celebrated Pharisee. A week later he asked his agent about some flats that had been empty for a month or two. "All rented" said the agent, and he named the parties, whereupon the landlord immediately descended to the plane of publieans and sinners. When he had recovered himself sufficiently to talk English, he proceeded to inform the astonished agent that one of his acquisitions was the man he had just moved at his own expense out of the house in the sub urbs.

GOOD BIRD STORY.

How Couple of Orioles Obliged g Mock
 ing Bird Family.
 Mrs. Cason, the wife of an Oconee river (Ga.) planter, relates tie following in- teresting episode:
 Early this spring" says Mrs. Gason, "a pair of mocking birds built their nest in slender young elm tree just outside my window. Before single egg had been laid therein violent wind came, tossing the tree hither and thither, utterly destroying the nest With patient perseverance the bir1s went again to work and soon had the nest rebuilt in the selfsame crotch, and this time the female deposited two eggs within. One day. but a short time thereafter, during q pretty severe blow of wind, observed the two mock ing birds in considerable commotiop, and suspected that they feared another catastrophe to their domicile. Feeling particular interest in the result of the storm for them, I kept pretty close outlook, and by and by saw the nale bird fly away, leaving the female sole protector Of the home.
 Wondering considerably at this, and feeling an intense sympathy for the poor female, l went out to see if I could not devise some way to assist her in her distress. Before I arrived at any definite plan of action, however, the male bird came fitting back, bringing with him couple of orioles that l had seen from time to time in the orchard behind the house. Perfectly familiar as I was with the in- genulty of the oriole, I was not pre- pared for what l now saw this pair ac- eomplish. After hurried consulta- tion with the mocl1ing birds, the two yellow fellows began to cast about for material with which to operate in their friends behalf, and one of them soon found twine string near five feet in length, which had left out in the garden after twining my sweet peas. As soon as he lit upon it he called his mate, and the serious difficulty of the rescue seemed solved, for they went to work with a dispatch that would have done credit to greater intelligence than theirs is supposed to be. Each one of the orioles grasped an end of the string in his mouth and few with it into the tree, deftly looping it over the swinging limb just above the nest. This done, they took the loose end and flew with it to the rose lattice, about three feet distant, and soon had it bound hard and fast to the frame, thus holding the limb securely in position ]" Philadelphia Times

north, perhaps at the expense of the west. At the same time the young southern writer must still take as his motto the Spanish proverb: Blessed are they that expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed. Southern poets, he said, get discouraged about sending verse to northern magazines. He presumed the space at command was small and the applicants numerous. He felt that the many who achieved success under such adverse conditions were deserving of sympathy and re- spect. ARTHUR STEDMAN.

When they 1oosed Blonde Mag's un- certain clasp from the neck of the pu- gi1ist there lay upon her face the in- effable serenity of that peace which passeth the boundaries of the dreams of men.
 Soldier Jennie staggered when she rounded the corner of Pen street into the Bowery an hour later. The growler had mercifully given her temporary oblivion of eontumely. She hummed b1ithely in cracked falsetto, as she zig-zagged up the Bowery:
