well as by training she was fitted to appreciate
the glamour of Italy-that embodied romance OF
nature, art and history. In these sketches
marked by humor, discrimination and Womanly
grace and gentleness. she does much to draw
the reader under the spell which she herself has
felt so deeply. Her records of domesticities in
Rome and of rambles in rural Italy are set
forth partly in the guise of family letters and

style. There more ambitious books of the

delightful than in an old Roman palace. with a
fowery terrace looking out upon the Campagna

writer cleaved to the Eternal City. She knows

A SONG.

By THOMAS CAMPION
Beauty is but painted hell
Ay mel Ay mel
She wounds them that admire II.
She kills them that desire 1t.
Give her pride but fuel,
No fire is more cruel
Pity from every heart is fled
Ay me! Ay mel
Since false desire could borrow,
Tears of assembled sorrow;
Constant vows turn truthleSs,
Love cruel, Beauty ruthless
Sorrow can laugh, and Fury sing.
Ay me! Ay mel
My raving griefs discover.
l lived too true a lover.
The first step to madness,
Is excess of sadness

ObSSN
rity, inglorious if not mute, are offered their
chance by a London publisher He has opened
First Novel Competition" and he offers
prize of f1O0 to the author Of the best book
submitted. Incidentally, he stipulates that the
successful novel shall become his absolute
property According to 1.-The London Daily
News" the proposition is not so bad. Even
those who are accounted successful seldom
make from first novel, the half of the f1O0
which Mr.. Unwin offers . i. The winner
who will presumably be very clever writer
barriers the probability of making $50 or f40,
plus the remote possibility of making $1,000,
for the certainty Of f10O. plus small credit
to his name-an exchange certainly TO the adj
vantage of the novelist as viewed before the
event" We wonder where the advantage to
literature comes in; but then perhaps
old fashioned in cnging to the idea that even
the young novelist, just starting on his career,
ought to have some little thought of the inter
ests of literature when he gets to work with his
pen. The competition aforesaid may bring
forth good book. 1t seems also that it could
not but be responsible for great deal of work
done in a hopelessly commercial spirit
LITERATURE" says the wise man to the novice
sis made of life. Study life and then write"
The advice is precious, but the novice profits
most, we fancy, when a concrete example is put
DeIOTe ullI here is one from the history or
Thomas Hardy which Mr.. Neil Munro has late
iy brought to light 1t seems that when the
novelist was boy he went to school in Dor
chester, and In that town made the acquaint-
ance of an innkeepers wife. She was beauti-
full, good and kind, but her husband was
dissipated and unfaithful, and his conduct one
day so reused her passion that she killed him
with knife. Hardy and another boy wit
messed the execution from a tree overlooking
the gallows yard The story continues thus:
He never forgot the rustic of the thin black
gown the woman was wearing she led
1orth by the WarderS. a penetrating rain was
womans head than it chung to her features
and the moose was put around the neck of what
looked like a marble statue. Hardy looked at
the scene with strange Illusion of its being
unreal, and was brought to his complete senses
WREN the drop fell with a thud and his COM
panion lower branch of the tree fell faint
ing to the ground. The tragedy haunted Hardy
and, at last, provided the emotional inspiration
and some of the matter for Tess of the Dur
berVilleS."
The episode belonged to his boyhood. We
know when Tess" was written, late in his
prime, when years of experience and reflection
had bathed the squalid tragedy in new light
and had fitted him to draw from it an inspira-
ton of profound and far reaching significance.
There the novice has his lesson. 1t is not the
spectacle of life he observes with so much
care notebook in hand, that alone counts. 1t
is what his own resources enable him to make
of the spectacle and to strengthen them he

The London ''Bookman" publishes a reflection
which has already been made in this country.
1t says that Mrs. Humphry Wards new story,
The Marriage of William AShe," now running
in ''Harper's," "is supposed to turn on the I'M
fortunate marriage between Lady Caroline Pom
sonby and William Lamb afterward the ia
nous Lord Melbourne" If this suppOsitiOn,
which was raised in mind some months ago,
when the earlier chapters of the tale were is
sued, is really correct, it shows considerable
daring on the part of the novelist, for Lady
Caroline, wild, beautiful, brilliant, and erratic
to the point of insanity, is not character easy
to portray. She is pitiful little figure in the
literary history of the nineteenth century, and
will in the future be oftenest remembered as
the occasion-and the recipient-Of the most
foolish and artificial letter that Byron ever
wrote. A relic Of Byron, by the way, was sold
