A GOOD EXAMPLE.
How Beecher Gave an Author
Start
(The National Magazine.)

(The National Magazine.)
Few. indeed. there are of those inter-
ested in American literature who will
not feel sense OF personal loss in the
death of Charles Dudley Warner. He
was an inspiration to more young
Americans than will ever be recorded
to his credit. Who has not felt the
glow Of his cheering good nature while
reading those charmingly simple
sketches. MY Summer in q Garden"
first published in the course of his
newspaper service.
This again emphasizes the close alli-
ance between newspaper work and lit
erary effort, for Charles Dudly War
ner. from his editorial work, attained a
prominence in American literature.
An interesting story is told of how his
newspaper sketches were gathered to-
gether for q book and refused by a
number of leading publishers. Henry
Ward Beecher, then in his prime,
read them and remarked. 1--WE will
see about it," He wrote q preface
publisher and an edition Of 10000 was
soon exhausted.
Mr.. Warner was n neighbor and
friend of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
through her met her distinguished
brother. He was also a fellow towns
IieA Vi it1i Mdlu. EeTSOn1lly, r.
Warner was charming man, and
never can forget his kind words. when
he remarked in reference to 1.-THE Ma
tional Magazine" Keep right at 1t,
you are on the right track and have
right purposes. Remember it Is a
hght--always fight" An then
came the story of what Henry Ward
Beecher had told Charles Dudley War
ner, You have the genuine stuff in
you, You only need to be born, and
1 will be present at your BIRTH Give
me those newspaper slips, and I will
write a preface for them, and the pub
fishers will take them from me if not
from YOU" Mr.. Beecher was indeed
present at the birth. and Charles Dud-
ley Warner never forgot the great
preacher for his kindness.
