Writers who Live in the Country.

Writers Who Live In the Country.
''See for moment how the matter OF
residence affects Literary people, with
whose work, naturally, / am familiar"
writes Edward Box in Ladies' Home
Journal. "Pick out the successful
writers of the day and see where their
homes are. Scarcely in a single instance
will you find one OF them living in the
city. On the other hand, look at the
work done by your literary denfzen OF
the city and see how 1t suffers in compari-
son with that of the man or woman whose
mind rests on Gods handiwork. Such
writers are like pygmies compared to the
men who with fresh minds look over
Gods landscape and reflect the deepest
and truest thoughts of real men and
women.
"See how an author--and this is q con-
slant occurrence--living in some remote
country place does a great piece of work,
ana then, allured by false prophets, re-
moves to the city and continues his work
there. Is the work the same? Verify, 1t
is not. Degeneration takes place as soon
surroundings. And what is true to-day
Of men in literary work is equally true of
men In the kindred arts. The great
work Of the world is being done to-day
by men whose lives are spent away from
great Cities"
