ToIstoi's Literary Habits

The following graphic description of rol.
stoi's literary habits is given by the German
Journal. Die Woche:
Tolstoi takes the utmost pains with his
work. His manuscripts are written FIVE or
six times and sometimes he writes single
chapters ten times over before he is salts
fed with them His corrections are a tor
ture for compositors. since he ills page after
page with new words and sentences. and also
makes numerous erasures and other altera-
tons. The last proof shows az much evil
dence Of careful study as the first one and
II is not too much to say that avery line
which he writes is rather wrung from him
than voluntarily given to tho printer
Countess Sophie is the most severe critic OF
his works. and her judgment has much
weight with him. He has thrown aside a
completed romance because she did NOT like
Il. He also likes TO read his new works
before thew are published to few Intimate
friends. and the suggestions which he re-
ceives on such occasions cause HIM 10 make
several alterations. Thus. in the hope Of
obtaining some useful suggestions. he read
The Power OF Darkness" to a eroup OF
peasants. but he was most painfllly sur
prised 10 discover that the most startling

And hears a murmur musical riso from the
deeps and slopes.
The RatherinK OF centuries OF SONGS, and
prayers, and hopes.
The flush OF rose is on his brow. the bright
dawn in his eye
AZ he drinks all the glory in Of earth. and
air. and sky,
Above. sea Of molten blue. thu Reld tipped
temps spires.
And silyery mountain peaks CLEAN cut a
thousand beacon fires:
while on the shores that loom afsr his kim
ding eyes behold.
within the shsdOw-spleadurs spread. tie
promised day unfold.
Then how his hore the earth outbounds. his
thought swift time outstrpsi
And ali the Joy heart can feel makes slo-
quent his lips.
He speaks the promise he has seen. no sings
the SONG he hears
The song OF every human heart. the hope

when light shall lead TO perfect peace. and
love to brotherhood.
