Genius Another Name For Work.

F. L. Stanton. in Chicago Times-Herald:
William Dean Howells said recently that
hard work in literature made what the
world called genius a brain, of
course. TO begin with ; >, that recalls a
little story.
In conversation with j. Chan It Har-
ris a friend said: You are one CT the
fortunate authors; everything you Iouch
turns to gold. Life must be very smooth
affair TO YOU
'.On the contrary was the reply. life

you see it flowing pretty fast you say:
That's geniusr Go to work. my brother

you'll win.
A youthful literary aspirant who was
present said:
Il shalt practice what YOU preach"
And away he went and got him roller
top desk and q fine revolving chair. and
a ream of paper and all other helps TO
literature" And he nailed himself to
the chair and bent over that desk for
two weeks: but when he next made his
appearance, haggard and worn. he said;
well, I've been there for two weeks. but
the work won't come. It's no 60 tell

THE FOLD.

When God shall ops the gates of gold.
The portals of the heavenly fold.
And bid his flock pastures wide
Upon a new earth's green hillside.
What poor strayed sheep shall thithe,
fare.
Black-smirchsd beneath the sunny air,
To wash away in living springs
The mud and mire of earthly thingsl
What lovely ewes with eyes forlorn,
With weary feet and fieeces torn,
To whose shorn back no wind was stayed
Nor any rough ways smooth wers made;
What happy little lambs shall leap
To those sad ewes and spattered sheen.
With gamesome feet and joyful eyes,
From years OF play in Paradise
The wind is chill. the hour is late;
Haste thee, dear Lord, undo the gate
For grim wof-sorrows prowl and range
These bitter hills OF chance and change.
And from the barren wilderness
With homeward face thy fiocks do press;
Their worn bells ring a tangled chime
Shepherd. come forth. It's eventime.
