Is tn utillre the slimmer nc.1tl0n te catch up

HfT I don't mean te tnlk nbeut sumincr sumincr

want te say en the subject some ether time.
I li A vr just loon reading m hat purports te
be a roinance or Moravian life infilled " A
Ictorleus Deleak" The name et the author
given en the title page, Wolcott Italestler,
has by seme been regarded ns s. inore nei
ile pfniir, nud various guesses have been
inadeas te the triiouauieef the writer. It
was suggested, nineng the rest, that It was
Airs. Cioergo Parsons Latbrep, the daughter
el Hawthorne, though en what possible
grounds I cannot understand. It Is true
there are se nuiiy marks of femininity In the
style, lursle or thought, mid oxpresslons, that
l don't wonder it should biM) been ascribed
ten weiuau. Hut why te Airs. Latbrep?
What tits she ilone te doservo the charge?
She writes n unirermly pure and gracelul
style, with a hkilllul and practised touch
characteristics which are markedly lacking
in tills little book. I nm much mero In
clined te holievo the assertion mom recently
made en geed authority, that Wolcott lidos lides lidos
tler is the real name of'the author, who "is u
young journalist of New Yerk, editor et
7'ii-ir.i." It is also said that he wrete the
story when but twonty-eno years or nge.
which no doubt accounts Inr tlie Irequent
deles ts of sty,e and grammar, and the net
Infrequent slipshod manner and expr s'ioue.
Ir you can overlook theso, and will nt the

It anything truly representatlve or illustra
tive et .Moravian lire, you Mill lie able te
enjey what Isiiiuorwise .1 very clever, lutor luter
estiug, nud nltogether fresli mid pure story.
Indie, I I consider ft n reinarkntiln porfor perfor porfer
niatiio rorayeuug man of twenty-one. At
thosime time even in such an one it Is inex
cusable te lie continually putting Inte the
mouth or bis characters, rellned and cultured
Miepp, such expressions as "Its a pretty
eutbuslasin," ' Its only fair," nnd such bir
barlsinsHS '"l wish you wouldn't,' 'I won't
if you ask inn net:'" or ' "Yeu was asking,
was you net V " Perhaps this last gramma
tical outrnge was Intentional, as it is put Inte
the mouth of a young Moravian brother of
llttle culture. Hut why should It be ? The
brother wns a (ienium, "Hen rati, and certainly
spoke only (lerin.ui ; nml if he then certainly
only the very host (ermaii, the Saxen as
Nsikpii in lis purity at HerrnbuU There nre
many similar instances throughout the book
net only of such gross grammatical errors,
but of cireless literary workmanship nud mi.
pardonable Inelcgancles el style.
Tin; plot, houever, has the lare merit or
being novel and ingenious. The only trouble
Is that It hinges altogether upon n historically
untrue mid impossible representation of life
