AN Speeches, IUiymci, Sketches and Lectures Written te Order In a Hurry Te Whom Sold and for What Purpose The Price. New Yerk Sun. In Blccckcr street, in the tliinl-stery back room of what was once an aristocratic private dwelling house, the public in need of brains can find the same at reasonable rates. A reporter who recently climbed the creaking stairs and knocked at the deer of this back room was invited te enter by a deep-toned, pleasant voice. Stepping across the threshold, the visitor found himself in the abode of Brains. The room was bare and cheerless, containing only a bed, a washstand, three or four wooden chairs, a stove and a large pine table, which was littered with manuscripts, newspapers, pens, ink bottles and a well thumbed dictionary. The owner of the deep-toned voice was seated in one of the chairs, with his feet resting en the top of the table, and a newspaper in his hand. " Mr. Brains, I believe, " said the re porter. " At your service, sir. " The reporter drew from his note book a slip cut from the advertising columns of one of the dramatic journals, and read it aloud. It was as fellows : "Dramas, sketches, songs, burlesques, lectures, speeches, poems, &c, tfcc, writ ten te order en the shortest notice. Terms low. Applv te Buains, Xe. Blccckcr street." "That is my caul, hir, " said the occu pant of the room. " Is there anything I can de for yen:' "I should like te get a little sentiment in the poetical line, te write in a young lady's autograph album," responded the icpertcr, with .some natural diflidencc. Ah. yes, I see. Yeu can furnish the autograph yourself, but you would rather 1 would de the sentiment. Exactly. And about hew lenjr would veu like it .' I can make it an aero-tic, if you prefer. Ac rostics come a little higher, but they are just the thing, you knew, for albums. " The leperter decided en an acrostic, and gave Mary as the name of the album owner. " Hew much will it be.' "Well, I'll turn you oft a four-liner, while you wait, for fifty cents." These terms proving satisfactory, the visitor took a chair, while Mr. Brains turned te the table and at once set himself te work en the acrostic. 'Shall I make it tender?" he asked. "Tolerably se." replied the customer. By actual tuning, the poet occupied just mx minutes in the production of the acrostic. Then he threw down his pen and submitted the work te hi visitor. The virtues of the supposititious Mary were thus embalmed : te :iai:y. May all tliy days as -petlc be As was tin- page, ere marred by tin.-; Re-e-tinted niiiy tliy future gleam, Yet i osier still ilie present seem. De you iind work enough in this line te make a living'.''' inquired the reporter, when he had expressed his satisfaction with the stanza, and paid the half dollar therefer. " "Well, yes," was the cheerful response. I manage te live along after a fashion. The worst thing about it is that my income is. extremely uncertain. Sometimes I don't get live dollars' worth of orders in a month. And then, again, I have turned out twenty dollars' worth of work in a day. Averag ing it the year round, I suppose I earn eighteen or twenty dollars a week. That, however, includes an occasional lucky sale te the magazines and story papers. In order weik that is, jobs which arc done under centiact I make my rates, as a liilc considerably lower than I get for pieces sold for publication. I can afford te de this, because, you knew, the chances of having a article rejected by an editor arc always larger then the chance of having it accepted. Jeb work, en the contrary, is sure pay, although small." " But, wheic de these orders come Hern '.'' "Oil, from all sei ts of people. I keep a standing advertisement, like the one you cut out, in three or four of the dramatic and Sunday papers. These bring me a considerable number of orders from varie ty performers for new songs and sketches. Occasionally, tee, some variety actor, who is ambitious te become a star, calls en me te write him a play adapted te his special line. Yeu knew that is the way Emmet, Gus Williams, Bichmend, Harrigan ami llait, Den Thompson, and a number of ethers have come te the front. Then there arc the words of cheap burlesques, for which there is a fair demand, and which I adapt te some well-known airs. Then, again, song-writing affords a fair field, and I have done a geed many pieces for Teny Paster and ether popular singers. But I didn't count the theatrical custom my best, by any means. A sketch for va rietur hall use takes two or three days, usually, te put together, and if I get twenty dollars for it I am lucky. A full llcdgcd drama might return me one hun dred dollars, but orders for these arc rare. My bonanza comes when I strike a bob bin. " " And what is a bobbin'."' "Well, it is a name of my own which I have given te a certain class of customers. I call them bobbins because the thread of their vanity is se long that it will keep un winding indefinitely. And for me it often turns out a golden thread. Here, for example, is a speech that I have just finished for a highly respectable old gen tlcmau te deliver at a society dinner next week. He is one of the very best bobbins I ever found. I have been writing speeches for him new, en and efT, five years. He is rich, has retired from busi ness, and has developed a great taste for after-dinner oratory. I don't believe he could speak a dozen words himself with out committing some ridiculous blunder. But I have floated him along, until new he really enjoys the reputation of being always prepared with a neat speech. I charge him a geed round price, but he pays it cheerfully. Then I have another bobbin in the person of a young man, who lives in Fifth avenue, and who drives down here frequently in his own coupe. He is a mild, inoffensive j'bung chap, who, with a fortune of a quarter of a million, wants te be considered a poet. He never stmng together a rhyme in his life, and yet within the past two years he has read, at various up-iewn gatherings, net less than half a dozen occasional poems. Of course they are supposed te be original, and I can as sure you that some of them arc extremely original. I charge him anywhere from five te fifteen dollars, according te length. It is one of the conditions of all work done in this way, that the person who buys any thing from me shall have the right te lay claim te its authorship. Perhaps you will recall the mental albun, se called, which made its appearance a few years age. There were a number of printed questions, the answers te which were supposed te indi cate the tastes and character of the person writing them. Well, I did a thriving busi ness with these albums. Yeung clerks and bookkeepers and school girls applied te me usually, by letter, te write the answer for them. I charged fifty cents for each char acter which I thus delineated. That was cheap enough, certainly, even if the char acters were net very geed. One day a very young man, with weak eyes, entered my room in a state of towering rage. He told me his name, and said that he had mailed me half a dollar, the week before, for a set of answers te the mental album questions. ' Well,' said I, didn't they turn out satis factory?' 'Satisfactory?' he shouted. 'They caused me te make an ass of myself, sir, arid you,sir, are responsible.' I thought nature was mere directly responsible than I, but I asked the young man te explain himself. 'Why he answered, 'I took these answers you sent me and wrote 'em down in the album of a young lady who has heretofore held me in the highest esteem. Well, a day or two afterwards I was in her house, and, looking ever the album, I found en another page, written before mine, the same set of answers, word for word, which you had sent me. ' It was hard en the young chap, for, you see, being in a hurry, I had sent him a duplicate of the answers which I had previously sold te somebody else. But, as a rule, I am very careful net te dispose of the same wares twice. In the way of lectures, I have written a great many of them en all sorts of subjects, from travels in Europe te tem perance. I recently did an address ier a Sunday school superintendent, and I have furnished any number of prize essays and graduating orations for the school and college boys. On a few occasions I have even furnished ministers with sermons, and I think I get a geed deal of spiritual geed from listening te one of my own discourses preached by a young clergy man. " " De you have a fixed schedule of prices for ycur work?' "Xe. The charges arc made te depend en the ability of the customer te pay. I once received ten dollars for what made three lines in newspaper print. But that, of course, was net in my regular line of work. 1 he most amusing client l ever had was a newly-fledged alumnus from a Western college. He had come en te New Yerk te adept the profession of journal ism, as he put it. The height of his ambi tion was te get a place en the Tribune te de the sentimental editorials. His father was a rich drover, se the boy was net troubled about money matters Then he had letters from well-known men, vouching for his eminent respectabil ity. After persistent application, they finaly told him at the Tribune eflice that he might write up a half-column article en any subject that he pleased, and that if he passed muster they would print it. Straight- I way upon this premise the'ceHegian came te me. 1 cud the joe ler lum, charged nun ten dollars, and the article waspriuted. The Tribune paid him two dollars and a half. He was net ever bright, but he reached the wise conclusion that the profession of jour nalism wouldn't pay en these terms. Se lie went back te his home. I sincerely wish he had remained here."
