Content a Pleasure.

Inere are no Ills but what we make
BY giving shapes and names to things;
Which is the dangerous mistake
That causes all our sufelings.
O fruitful grief, the worries disease!
And yainer man, TO make it so,
Who gives his miseries increase,
BY cultivatirg his own woe!
We call that sickness which is health,
That persecution which is grace,
That poverty which is true wealth,
And that dishonor which is praise.
Alas! our time is here so short.
That in what SO e'er lis spent,
OIjoy Or woe, does not impart
Provided it be innocent
But We may make it pleasaot, too,
live will take orr measures right,
And not what heaven has done undo
By an unruly appetite.
The world is full Of beaten roads,
Hat yet 50 slippery witnal,
That where one walks secure lis odds
A hundred and hundred fall.
Untrodden paths are then the best.
Where the frequented are unsure;
And he comes soonest to his rest
Whose journey has been most secure.
1t is content alone that makes
Our pilgrimage pleasure here;
And who buys sorrow cheapest takes
An i'll commodity too dear.

Our Literary Corner
GEN CHARLES KING.

There are thousands of readers to
whom the name of Captain Charles King
at once suggests "reminiscences of de-
IightfuI stories of adventure, full of the
clash of war and the color of romance.
Indeed there are few American writers
who have made more direct appeal to
the hearts of their countrymen and to
the spirit of patriotism. Captain King,
who is known in military circles as Brig
adier-General King, can write stirringly
about his country because he has fought
for his country, and he can describe
army life because it has been his own
life. Born in Albany in 1914, he began
his career in 1856 as marker of the First
Regiment Wisconsin State Militia. After
his graduation at West Point, ne had ex-
tensive experience in the field and on the
plains. For many years he has been
writing stories of the army, and those
who are in position to know say that he
represents it, not only with interest and
vivacity, but with truth as we'll. Since
his retirement from the regular army in
1879, for disability resulting from
wounds received in line of duty" he has
served in several military capacities,
among them, as Adjntant-General of the
Wisconsin National Guard, from which
he retired few months ago, and he has
been hard at work with his pen. Hi:
latest work, Corporal Freds Commits
sion," which began serial publication il
Harper's Round Table of July 20. is de
scribed as an exciting tale of young
militiaman's adventures during the rail
road riots-a theme of great interest a

MISS MARIA LOUISE POOL.

The name of Maria Louise Pool has
become conspicpously identified with
that small band of New England women
writers who in the past few years have
done so much strong and original work.
Indeed, there are few novelists who can
be compared with Miss Pool for interest
of plot, for delineation Of character, and
for the delicacy of both her pathos and
humor. When "Roweny in Boston" was
first published, discr minating critics at
once recognized new and delightful
talent. The work showed surprisingly
skilful handling for beginner in novel
writing; yet, though Miss Pool had al
ready contributed to the press some hui
morous travel sketches, she had had
comparatively little experience as writ
err. In referring to her early work she
has confessed to very youthful literary
ambition, which, however, she did not
| for many years seriously attempt to full
fill. Born in Rockland, Massa she was
educated to become a teacher; but one
years experience convinced her that
teaching was too taxing for her health.
Nearly all of her life she has passed in
New England, and she has acquired,
through close observation, her familiari-
ty with the varied types Of New England
character that she has introduced in her
stories. Several visits in the South and
among the CaroliDa mountains greatly
interested her in the life there as well,
and gave her material for 'Dslly" and
others of her most successful novels.
Miss POOLS latest story, 1.-The Red
Bridge Neighborhood," recently begun
as a serial in Harper's Bazaar, is said to
be strong in plot, and marked by ORA
matte episodes and by striking character
| izations.
