The Castle Near the window Seat.

There's castle here near the window seat, a
castle made of wood,
Where dwells full many wondrous wight,
some very bad, good
On the tiptoD floor lives Crusoe bold, and Mr.
CULVER, who
Once sailed afar the broad salt sea: and
there's Columbus too;
And next to them lives Robin Hood and all of
his merry band.
With his little namesake. Riding Hood, upon
his strong right hand;
And funny old Don Quixote too, lives way up
there with these.
With his battered helmet on his head and tin
caps on his knees.
On the lower floor is a fairy store-Titania and
her fays
And Brownies by the dozens who are pranking
And Cinderella lives near them, with her good
old fairy friend,
And close to her Aladdin dwells, with stores of
gold to spend.
Hop-o my Thumb lives up there too, and Jack
with his bag of beans,
And Alice of the Looking Glass, with her queer
old fussy Queens;
And all the BARRIERS dwell therein, of the old
Arabian Nights,
And strewn about heroes of at least thou
sand fights.
IT'S wondrous band of persons grand that
nursery castle holds;
With fearful beasts, and fearful birds, and
witches, too, and scolds;
And you'd almost think it would frighten me to
know, when l so to bed,
That all these creatures live Close almost at
my very head.
But it doesn't you see for 1 am King, and 1
hold the castle keys;
Not stir from his settled place within
unless | please.
And, after all, they are safe enough. in spite of
their wicked locks
For the castle walls of which speak make the
whore I keep my books.
Carlyle Smith, in Harper's Round Table.

our attention has been called to an ar
ticle on Prices Paid to Authors" which
was published short time ago in the New
York Sun and in which the writer says of
Mrs Humphrey Wards Sir George Tres
sady' now running in the Century Maya
zine for the serial rights of which $4,000 is
said TO have been paid, that. large as the
sum may seem at first thought it is rela-
lively small; it is much smaller than the
other sums paid for the product of other
literary workers. Thus, Scott got $4,000
for Woodstock and Moore got 5000
guineas for 'Lalla Rookh; Anthony
Troliope received in al $3.50. 900 for
his various works" Forty thousand
dollars is more than $4,000 to
be sure. bat $4,000 Is not all that Mrs.
Ward will receive. For both serial and
book rights she will probably be paid
nearer 100000 than $4,000 h has been es-
timated that for three novels, Robert
Elsmere," David Grieve" and Mar

to this writer, received $50 60
for his works. There are few more prolific
writer's than Anthony Trollope. Harpers

his name as author, and 10 have been paid

woman can afford to be capricous as long

A correspondent gives the history OF
the Lougee morass in Sangerville, Me,
where 40 years ago there was but a
small mudhole in the road, which grew
larger until the whole width of the road
was sunk, and a log was laid along
the side for people 10 cross on. At
last the mud became 50 deep that it
kvaS difficult for teams TO cross, 50
rocks were put in, until at last the
town was obliged to build a bridge so
feet long. All went well for awhile,
when it was observed tGst this struc-
kure was sinking. Again the town had
a bridge laid upon this. which was then
sunk in the mud and water, extending
several feet more in length than the
first. As the years passed this bridge
sank in like manner. and then the town
took a vote to see whether IL would
build road around the swamp or lay
another bridge. 1t was decided 10 build
the bridge. which is 80 feet long. but
this bridge also Is constantly sinking,
and Will soon have 70 be covered by an
other, and lengthened 100 feet or more
