The lazy voung man grinned largely and
felt much joy. Next morning things did
not look quite so bright. A. late supper
the night before had left him a trifle rocky,
it was raining dismally and the times were
•at of joint. At least, thev re lined very
mack that way to the lazy man as he
thoughtfully wended his way in a horse-
ear toward the Garden. Now the circus is
the jolliest place in the world at night,
with gn u -jcts flaring and electric lights
sputtering white, hut in the morning it is
draughty and cheerless,and fullof uncouth
smells Old women in a state of chronic
melancholy were dusting the red-cushioned
boxes when the visitor entered, and men
were sweeping the spaces around the high-
backed reserved seats with that air of pa
tient resignation common to those who
«wecn the same place day after day.
The lazy young man had made up his
mind while walking acrossMadisonSquare
to let Tody lie the throwee in the knife act,
while he would study his synnitoms at a
convenient distance. He asked lor him,
and was imformed that Tody was at’ that
moment in Baltimore and on his way still
further south. That was a sad disappoint
ment. The visitor suddenly wanted to go
home and get a forgotten book, but ayoung
man in'the office said: “Ah, Mr. Bailey is
waiting for yon. Come right along.” Tho
lazv young man came right along about as
cheerfully as he would prance towards a
dentist's chair to the pleasing whirl of the
merry-go-round drill. Mr. Bailcv shook
hands with him cheerfully and said: “Fine
morning, isn t it? Miss O’Brien has been
waiting lor you over a quarter of an hour.”
By tliis time the two were halt way down
the hippodrome track, going towards
Fourth avenue, and Mr. Bailey sang out:
“Bring up that knif,-board 1” Two grin
ning men came trotting out from the
ghasiiy depths beneath lite amphitheatre,

and was up against the board in about
tho space of two and one.half seconds.
Reliable citixens who were present state
that all this occupied ten minutes, but
the young man sticks to his assertion. A
score of circus people stood around and seem
ed full of sympathy. They were evidently
quite prepared to laugh and jeer if the
young man were merely stabbed in the

Shakespeare. There was in Stratford an
excellent grammar school, to which they
were certain to have sent their son when
ho reached the age, about six, at which
boys were usually entered there. Vliat
the course ol study pursued at this and
similar schools was is well known, and was
pointed out in an admirable series of pa
pers by the late Mr. Spencer Baynes on
“What Shakespeare Learnt at School,” in
Fraser’s Magazine in 1789-90. It was very
much the same as that ol the Edinburgh
high school in the days of our youth and
brought a boy up, by the time lie reached
the age ol 12, to the reading ol such
writers us Ovid and Cicero in Latin and
the New Testament and some of the ora
tors and tragedians in Grcbk. To send
their children to the school was within the
means of all but the poorest, which John
Shakespeare and Mary Arden were not;
and nil that is known of them justifies the
conclusion that they would not have al
lowed tlicir son to want any advantage
common to boys of his class. Desperate,
indeed are the straits to which the Baconi

voice speaking the truth sternly to the
young writer, who so sadly needs It. The
letter spoke in part as follows:
It appears to me clearly altogether im
probable that any book seller, in these
times ol tlio book trade, would so much as
consent to publish your MS. at liis own
cost, far less pay down any sum of money
for it. Nay, I am not at all sure, harsh as
it may seem, that it were for your own
real good to have it published, to have it
what is even called “succeed.” There is
undoubtedly sign of talent in it; but tal

abroad, is precisely tlie fatalest failure for
a youth ol any merit—the sweetness in
the mouth which in the belly becomes bit
ter as gaii. You will understand that bet
ter, I hope, some ten years hence, and
twenty years hence better still. • *
This is my sincere verdict. A much po

If theso examples, though of the same

of onr own histoir. The record is scarcely
aught else than the record of the achieve

Declaration when he was but thirty-three.
Madison was hut twenty-eight when he
entered the Continental Congress. Ham-*
ilton was thirty when he sat in the Fed
eral convention and but thirty-two when
Washington made him tlio first Secretary
of the Treasury. John Randolph was
twenty-six when elected to Congress, and
he served Virgu la in the House and Sen-
ato for thirty years. Clay was not yet
thirty when he was sent to the United
States to represent the State of Kentucky,
and he was only thirty-fonr when elected
Speaker of the House. Calhoun was twen
ty-eight, WebstCr thirty, Conkling twenty-
nine anu Blaine thirty-two when first elect
ed to Congress, nnd young Mr. Wa»h-
liurne’s father was but thirty-six, precisely
the youthful culprit’s own age, when lie
commenced his long Congressional career,
serving until be became the “Father of the
House.”
indeed, it is doubtful if any person at
all entitled to be called a statesman can be
named who did not commence his public
career before middle age. T he distinguished
Senator himself, and bis friend, the prat
ent Representative from the Fourth dis
trict, are certainly no examples to the
contrary, and it will be difficult to find
any, either in the present or in times past.
True enough, Mr. Farwell might say,
what he has not said, that Hemp Wash-
burne does not class with the youths whose
names have been mentioned above. That,
indeed,^properly substantiated, might bo
reason sufficient to exclude him from the
race. But youth? Never. We must have
grounds more relevant than this*
Meantime. Mr. Washburne remains in
tlie lists, and tlie well-known family
friendship for Bismarck, the late Emperor
William, and Unscr Fritx is being made to
do duly in everv beer cellar and gaiden
“by der Norel 8eid.” The combat deepens
unci beer flows freely. If the German"res

There is admirable counsel in this for
the whole guild of vonng writers. Not!
ing can be more fatal, as the letter say
than success under certain condition
Thebcgiunor who might Iearr. by failure,
or what is still better by holding himself
to repeated efforts to reach a high stand
ard, is in danger of being ruined by suc
cess, or that half success which is so easy
to mistake for the genuine article. Ilfs
mannerisms aro confirmed. He mistakes
his vicious tendencies for tt e merits that
have won himsuccess. Probably the unin
formed and unthinking praise him for the
Very qualities which the judicious critic
would condemn. He loses his standard of
comparison, and sets out on the sea of I
ten without a rudder. In this way there
may often be more dangers in failure than
in success, nnd in fact the dangers of fail
tire are apt to b > exaggerated. We all
know now that the critics did net kill
Keats. Certainly it would be
under exceptional conditions that
a_ man having tho ‘divine lire
within him would allow himself to he
beaten into silence even by the. harshest of
adverse judgments. The writer is sadly
lacking who caunot learn something even
from a critic who is his enemy, because
there will probably bo some truth in what
ho says. \
There is a good deal of virtue in tlie si
lence Carlyle was always talking about,as
he admits with some humor in this very
letter. Most young writers would gain by
not being in so great a hurry to write, or,
having written, in so great a hurry to pub
lish. There, is unlimited virtue in hard
work. Robert Louis Stevenson, the most
brilliantly successful English writer of the
younger generation, says that it was bv
“slogging away” that he accomplished
what he has “with smaller gifts" than any
other literary man of the time. We may
not accept his modest estimate of himself,
but we recognize the sincerity of his trib

TION, 6Ui Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y.:
Gentlemen—For several years I have felt it
to be ray duty to give to you tho facta in rela
tion to tho complete euro of a most nggrn-
rated case of taU-rhcum, by Jbe weef your
, , Golden Medical Discovery. tAn elderly lady
relative of mino baa been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for
upwarus of forty years. Tho disease was most distressing in her
i,'*‘Quaint? the «ktn to,pn*ek open on the inside of tho fingers
gtho jojnts and between thojn>n*r8. Shewii.obUgvd to protect|
bandaves, and during the winter months had to have her hands
divssc'; daily. The imln was quite severe at times nnd her general
health was badly affected, paving tho way for other diseases to
ctwO in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a great deni of suffering
in addition to tho salt-rheum. She had used faithfully, und with
the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed
by her physicians, tint without obtaining relief. She afterwards
begun treating herself by drinking tens made from blood-nurify-
ing roots and herbs. 8he continued this for several years but de
my fancy, nnd seeing that it was essentially a blood-purifler. I im
mediately recommended it to the old lady who had been so long a
sufferer from salt-rheum. She commenced taking it at once, and
took ono bottle, but seemed to bo no better. However, I realized
that It would take time for any medicine to effect a change for tho
better, and encouraged her to continue. Pho then purchased a
half-a-dcscn bottles, ar.d before these had a!! boon used «ho tmornn
to notice nn improvement. After taking about a dozen bottles site
was entirely cured. Her hand) were perfectly well and aa smooth
and healthy ns a child’s. Her genera) health was also greatly
improved: the rheumatism entirely leit her,and the catarTh was
almost cured, so that it ceased to bo much annoyance. Bho-nos
enjoyed ezeellent *»«»«***» fmm that ilnv to this, and lias hml no
return of cither Halt-rheum or rheumatism. Iko ’Discovery*
seems to haw entirely eradicated the 6ult-rheum from her system.
She Is now over eighty years old, and very healthy for ono of such
extreme age.
I have written this letter, of which you can make any use you
see flt, hoping that some sufferer front sait-rheum might chance to

CONSUMPTION, WEAK LUNGS, SPITTING OF BLOOD.
Golden Medical Discovery
cures Consumption (which Is Scrof
ula of the Lunjrs) by Its wonder
ful blood - purifying, Invigorating
and nutritive properties. From
Its marvelous power over this ter
ribly fatal disease, when first of-
feriug this now world-famed rem
edy to tho public, Dr. Pierce
thought seriously of calling It his
“Consumption Core," but aban
doned that name as too restrict
ive for a medicine which, from its
wonderful combination of tonic,
or strengthening, alterative, or
blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pec
toral, and nutritivo properties, Is
tmcqualed, not only as a remedy
for Consumption, but for all
Chronic Diseases of the Liver,
Blood, and Lungs. For IVeak
Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short
ness of Breath, Bronchitis Chron
ic Nasal Catarrh, Severe Coughs,
Asthma, and kindred affections,
It Is a sovereign remedy. While
It promptly cures the severest
Cough' ft strengthens the system
and purities the blood.
The nutritive propert> . of ex
tract nf mult and cod liver oil
are trifling when compared with
those pOfcM ssed by the “ Dis
covery.”
It rapidly builds up the system,
and Increases the flesh ami weight
of those reduced below the usual
standard of health by “wasting
diseases”
Mrs. Rtrrn A. Sickles, of Octan Port. Monmouth
