40 TURNWOLD, GA., OCTOBER 27, 1862. To a Young Correspondent. I am reluctantly compelled, to decline your article, but return it to you. Take it, and keep it carefully until you are older, and you will thank me fer rejecting it.— Your fault is that of all >oung writers : you employ too much language to convey your ideas. Your article contains some very goed ideas, but they constitute only about one fourth of your piece, while the othei three fourths are mere words. The only use in the world ) ou have for words, is to serve as a medium for conveying you 1 ideas, and the fewer words you use the bet ter. Your language should be the plainest and simplest possible.—You have an exu- herent fancy. Curb that, and cultivate your judgment. Above all, study simplic ity, and artlesness of style.— I do not in tend this for rebuke, but for instruction. I am doing you a kindness, and would be treating you with great injustice, were 1 to publish your article.—Do not let what I gay discourage yon. I have been rejected hundreds, if not thousands of times, by pub lishers, but never allowed this to overcome b p, .Tolin Bunyan, Waiter Scott and the author of Jane, Eyre, met with just the trouble you have met with. But they were Bunyan, Scott, and Bronte still..—You have a talent fer writing, and I advise you to cultivate it. r J here is a glorious field just ahead of you for Southern writers.—1 publish this instead of writing to you pri vately, so that all my young friends and correspondents may profit by it. Beautiful Extract. “ There lies in t lie depths of every heart that dream of our youth, and the chastened wish of manhood—which neither cares nor honors can evei extinguish—the hope of one dav resting from the pursuits that ab sorb us ; of interposing between pur old age and the tomb some tranquil interval of re flection, when with feelings not subdued but softened, with passions not exhausted hut mellowed, we rna-y look calmly on the past without, regret, and on the future with out apprehension. But in the tumult of the world, this vision forever rcceeds as we approach it ; the passions which have agitated our life disturb our latest hour ; and we go down into the tomb, like the sun into the ocean, with no gentle and gradual withdrawing of the light of life back to ihe source that gave it hut, sulle.i in its beam less descent,with all its fiery glow, long after it has lost its power and its splendor.” “Affected simplicity is refilled imposture.” THE COUNTRYMAN Sadness. “ There is a mysterious feeling that fre quently passes like a cloud over the spirits. It comes upon the soul in the busy hustle of life, in the social circle, in. the cairn and silent retieais of solitude. Its powers are alike supreme over the weak and iron heart ed. At one time -it, is caused by the flit ting of a single thought across tl*e mind. Again a sound will come booming across the ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the death-knell, overshadowing all the bright hopes and feelings of the heart. Who can describe it, and yet who has not felt its bewildering influence 1 Still, it is a delicious sort of sorrow : and like a cloud dimming the sunshine of the river, although causing a momentary shade of gloom, it en hances the beauty of returning brightness. y * ADVERTISEMENTS.
