William Dean Howells might be d
little discouraging to the young wo-
man seeking advice about a literary
career. He does not believe apparently
that good writers are made as good
cake is-by carefully following a given
recipe. TO the young woman wish
ing to write" he said recently to a
reporter, my advice would be-write
/ do not believe in choosing the pro
feSSlon of literature. One must wait
for the impulse to write, and that
comes only after much reading Con
sequently, my only advice to tine young
woman with literary aspirations is to
read the best authors until she feels
the impulse to write, and then to write
Let her keep trying. Let her send her
writings TO the editors, and keep on
sending them. Let her criticise her
work as compared to the work of The
great authors She has read. Let her
keep on until either the editors sue
cumb or she grows tired"
After Mr.. Howell's advice to Young
writer's, it is interesting to know what
woman has to say. This is what
Gertrude Atherton once said regard
ing advice to young girls: do not
initiate any one. 1t is Il short road to
success, but fatal to position. 1t is
better TO be bad original than a
commendable reproduction Avoid
Ouida as you would the plague. Every
other girl writer is a second edition of
her Study people--everyb you
come in contact with No one is too
humble to teach you something YOU
did not know before. for human ma
ture is as intricate as the human eve
and as mysterious as speech and
thought. Cultivate an interest in all
the great questions Of the day Even
if you never use them they devotion
the intellectually and purge the mind
of sentimentality and sensationalism
Aim, above all things, to be an artist
Purpose novels are merely the refiec-
ton of popular thought. They are
not creative and are, therefore, not
permanent. Literature is. primarily
an art-the greatest of all arts-and
should be approached in no other
spirit. II | thought you would listen
to me ! would add: Don't write fiction
before you are thirty. One more sug-
gestion: Take fling of few years in
newspaper work. There is no train
ing so thorough If you stay not in
journalism too long"

THE PATRIOTS MOTHER.
Oh! no l cannot let thee go,
My dear, my gentle boy,
! cannot lose the last bright link
That binds my heart to JOY;
There's gloom enough around our
hearth,
My heart is full of woe,
And none are left me now but thee
Then, dearest, do not go.
My selfish sorrow clngs to thee,
For who have | besides
TO chase the dismal gloom that came
When thy brave father died:
That look of patriotic fire
Recalls the dear ones gone.
And yet tbs hard to quench its light.
Tho | should be alone.
! will not chek thy ardent soul,
Or dim its high career;
That lofty brow and eye of love
Ne'cr knew a towards fear
This land is ours thy father sleeps
BY sad Potomac's wave:
Thy brother found at williamsburg.
\ hero's honored grave.
Then go, my son, ! win not weep,
I'll hush my sorrows vail
he trumpet notes of martial strife.
Are swelling on the gale
Beside that flag thy brother bore
There proudly take thy stand,
Now go, | give thee up, my boy,
TO God and native land
| will not weep when thou art gone,
My beautiful and fair;
But sit beside this lonely hearth,
And weave thy golden hair
With theirs that died, into one chain
OF doubtless memory:
And keep it round my broken heart,
The fond shrine of YOU three.

THE PATElo7's MOTHER.
A Forgotten Southern Poem of Real
Merit.

To the Editor: Reading a Richmond
newspaper few days since, published
in April, 1862, | saw the enclosed poem,
which / do not recollect to have seen
in any collection of war songs and
Southern poetry.
1t seems to me to possess too much
merit to be consigned to oblivion, and
that now, during this memorial day
season, is an appropriate time to let it
again acquire the light of publicity.
1t seems to have been written from
Bellevue Hospital, but it was evidently
conceived in a Southern home,~ and
penned by a Southern hand, for it pur-
ports to have been written for a paper,
the Richmond Enquirer, which. at that
time, was on of the great opponents
of Secession
/ offer it to you for what it is worth.

COUNTRY COFFEE AS 4 DRINK.


In the country, coffee is counted best
at its weakest, and there is fancy
for drinking it over curiously- shaped
stone wall, which the country people
call cup But when one can breathe
good air what difference does it make
about the coffee? Whether it is, after
the German fashion, black as night,
sweet as love and strong as the devil,
or whether it is from Sevres or the
other thing? You don't care much
about your coffee or your tea in the
country You can sit in the shade and
get great draughts of sweetness, the
result of the farmer cutting down
something, we ignorant city people
don't know what, but we do know it
is healthgiving
Country people who don't appreciate
their blessings, wonder at ms because

that don't trouble them. and even

Walter Wel'man in the Chicago
Times Herald:
I asked Mr.. Carter what sort of
financial plank would he regarded
by the silver republicans as suffici-
emily concilatory to hold them in
the party. "Spraking for myself, !"
he replied, with his usual caution,
81 believe this is what the party
should do. Pledge itself to every
thing in its power to bring about
the rehabilitation of silver as a
money metal just a. soon as that
can be done without destroying the
parity between the two metals, but
that until such opportunity might
present itself the existing standard
must be maintained. The meaning
of this would be that the republi
can party would exert itself in
support Of policy calculated to
leao to he international remoneti-
zatlon of silver, and mean while
would maintain the existing or gold
standard. Of course, this is not
all the silver republicans would
like. They believe in free coinage.
But they also believe in the repub-
lican party, and do not want to be
driven out of it. Such a platform
would fold many of them in the
ranks. 1t would contain a promise
for the future. 1t would give re.
publicans who believe in protection
chance to 60 home and tell their
people the party was not an enemy
of silver, that policy had been
adopted which might lead to great
results in the future, that most re
pnblicans have ag 'eed that some
day silver must be rthabilitated,
that the only difference of opinion
were as to the method by which il
was to be done, and that the silver
a en- must exercise patience anG

closing the season for catching
certain fish named in the act was

Instead of trying to knock out
some republican official who has
made first-class record, why
don't some of the numerous candi
dates aspire to the places held by
populists and democrats 1t is
the policy of the republican party
to reward with a denomination for
the second term, those persons
whose administration has been
satisfactory to the people. And il
an attempt is made to turn down
a tirst,class officer for no tetter
reason than someone else wants
his job, this someone should be
given the cold shoulder by ali true
