Literary Labor.

II is an interesting study to compare
the different methods Of world-famous
authors in producing their works. Vir
gil, for instance, thought no toll too
laborious in order to perfect his verse:
bis Eclogues occupied him for three
years. his Georges seven, and the
Aeneid no less than twelve. Yet Dry
den translated the whole in less than
three; but then composition and
translation are not quite the same
thing Our great Shakespeare must
have been a very rapid worker, to
Judge by the voluminOus quantity of
his plays; while as for Sir Walter
Scott. he fairly takes our breath away
Or the other hand, there is Addison,

"Vathek" Beckford was the son of
an Euglishman, one Alderman Beck
ford, leader Of the Opposition Of the
city of London, in the stormy times of
Wilkes. Yet "Vathek" was written in
French, and written. too in the course
of a continuous sitting of three days
and two nights. the author sustaining

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.

"In most cases umbrellas are not
fairly worn out; they are ruined
through carelessness OF their owners"

man Of Boston, recently, at the Marl-
boro. when / see a man walking
with an umbrella tightly gTasped in

cause know that very soon that man
will be wanting new umbrella. There
Is no surer way Of making an umbrella
wear out quickly than this habit Of
carrying 1t about by It's middle. Again,
after being out in the rain you should
turn your umbrella upside down. and
let the water drain off, as it stands
with the handle downward. BY do
ing this you prevent the water from
getting In at the framework and
thereby protect the ribs from rusting.
Some men open their umbrellas before
they stand them up to dry, but that is
bad plan, because the umbrella may
stretch when it Is wet. Another thing,
too, never roll your umbrella up as to
