LITERARY AND ART ITEMS. Tlic Night Ride. The following is one of the finest passages in Ouida’s “Under Two Flags," just pub lished by J. B. Lippincott & Co. : The errand on which Cecil went was one, as he was well aware, from which it were a thousand chances to one that he ever issued alive. It was to reach .a distant branch of the Army of Occupation with despatches to the chief in command there, and to do this he had to pass through a fiercely hostile region, occupied by Arabs with whom no sort of peace had ever been made, the most savage as well as the most predatory of the wander ing tribes. His knowledge of their tongue, and his friendship with Some men of their nation, would avail him nothing here; for their fury against the Franks was intense, and it was said that all prisoners who had fallen into their hands had been put to death with merciless jbarbarities. This might be true or untrue; wild tales were com mon among Algerian campaigners; which ever it were, he . thought little of it as he rode out on to the lonely plains. Every kind'of hazardous adventure and every variety ot peril had been familiar with him in this Afri can life; and now there were thoughts and memories on, him which deadened every re collection of merely physical risk. “We must ride as hard and as fast as we «an, nn& as/ silently ” were the only words he exchanged with Itake, as he loosened his gray to a hand-gallop.' j “ Alt right, sir,” answered the troopeiywhose Warm Dlood was dancing, and whose blue , eyes were alive like fire with delight. That he had been absent on a far-away foraging raid on that day of Zaraila had been nothing ' abort of agony to Rake, and the choice made of him for this duty was to him a gift of para dise. He loved fighting for fighting’s sake; and to be beside Cecil was the greatest hap piness life held for him. They had two hundred miles to traverse, and had received only the command he had passed on Rake, to ride “hard, fast and silently.” To the hero of Zaraila the general had felt too much soldierly sympathy to add the superfluous injunction to do his uttermost to carry safely and successfully to their desti nation the papers that were placed in his sahertasche. They knew well that the errand would be done, or the Chasseur’s main do Jeminc, main main dr fir, would be stif fened and nerveless in death. It was just nightfall; the after-glow hail faded only a few moments before. Giving their horses,which they were to change once, ten hours for the distance, and two for bait and for rest, he reckoned that they would reaeh the camp before the noon of the coming day, as the beasts, fresh and fast in the camp, Hew like greyhounds beneath them. Another night ride that they had ridden to gether came to the minds of both; but they spoke not a word as they swept on, their sabers shaken loose in their sheaths, their lances well grlpled, and the pistols with which they had been supplied sprung in their belts ready for instant action if a call should come for it Every rood of the way was as full of unseen danger as if laid over mines. They might pass m safety: they might any aaoment De cut down by ten score against two. From every hanging scarp of rugged” rock a storm of musket-balls might pour; from every screen of wild-fig foliage a shower Of lances might whistle through the air; from every darkling, grove of fir-trees an Arab band might spring and swoop on them;—but the knowledge.scarcely recurred to the one save to make him shake his sword more at loose for quick disengagement, and only made the sunny blue eyes of the other spar kle with a vivid and longing zest. The night grow very chill as it jvore on; the north, wind rose, rushing against them with a force and icy touch that seemed to freeze their bones to the marrow after the Jheat of the day and the sun that had scorched them so long. There was no regular road; they went across the country, their way sometimes leading over. level land, over which they swept like lightning, great plains succeeding one another with wearisome mo notony; sometimes, on the contrary, lying through ravines, and defiles, and gloomy woods, and broken hilly spaces, where rent bare rocks were thrown on one another in gigantic confusion, and the. fantastic shapes of the wild fig and the dwarf palm gathered a hide ous grotesqueness in the darknesß. For ’there was no moony anefthe stars were; often hidden by the storm-rack of leaden clouds, that drifted over the sky; and the only sound they heard was the cry of the jackal, or the shriek of the night bird, and now and then the sound of shallow water-courses, where tiie parched beds of hidden brooks had been filled by the autumnal rain. * * * id * * Every rood of the road was sown thick with peril:, no frowning ledge of rock, with pine-roots in its clefts, but might serve as the barricade behind which some foe lurked; no knot of cypress-shrubs, black even on that black sheet/ of shadow, but might be pierced with-the steel tubes of leveled waiting mus kets. ' * * * - . * * * Tiioy had reached the centre of the plaid when the sound they , had lohg looked for rung on their earSj piercing life heavy breath- Jew stiJ’ntßa of the night. It who the AUaJ.i- il-Allfth of their focs» the war-cry ofthcAlos lem. Out of the gloom— whether fronwong. Tjursuit or some near hiding-place they Sot toil —there broke suddenly upoiUbeui the fury of an Arab onslaught. ,Ih the darkness all they could see were the . flash of cut! the flame of fierce eyes against their owe’ the white steam of smoking horses, the •ireray of froth flung off the snorting nostrils, the rapid glitter ofithe curved flissas—whether vwo, or twenty, or twice a hundred were v.’;or. them they could not know—they never did know. AH of which they were conscious was that iu an instant, from the tranquil mel ancholy around them of the great,dim, naked space, they were plunged into the din, the firry, the heat, • the close, crushing, horrible entanglement of conflict, with out the power to perceive or to number their foes, and only able to follow the sheer simple instincts of attack and of defence. All they were sensible of was one of those confused moments, deaieniag, blinding, filled with violence and rage and din—an eternity in semblance, a Becond in duration —that can never be traced, never be recalled, yet iu wlio9e feverish excitement men do that whieh, in their calmer hours, would look to them a fable of some Amadis of Gaul. How they were attacked, how they re sisted, how they struck, how they were en compassed, how they thrust back those who were hurled on them in the black nightgyith the north sea wind like ice upon their fades, and the -loose African soil drifting up in clouds of sand around them, they could never have told. Nor how. they strained free from the aimed-ring that circled them, andj beat aside the shafts of lances and the. blades ot swords, and forced their chargers breast, to breast against the fence of steel, and through the tempest of rage, blows, and shouts, and W’indJ and driven sand, cut their way through the foe whose very face they scarce could see, and plunged away _ into the shadows across the desolation of the plain, pursued, whether by one or by a thousand they could not guess; for the gal lop was noiseless on the powdered soil, and the Arab yell of baffled passion and slaugh terous lust was half drowned in the rising of the wind-storm. Had it been day, they would have seen their passage across the level table-land traced by a crimson stream upon the sand, in which the blood o_f Frank and Arab blended equally. As it was, they dashed headlong down through the darkness that grew yet denser and blacker as the storm rose. For miles the ground was level before them, and they had only to let the the half maddened horses, that had as by a miracle escaped all injury, rush on at their own will through the whirl of the wind that drove the dust upward in spiral columns and brought icy breaths-of the north over the sear, sunburnt, southern wastes. For a long space, they had no sense but that of rapid ceaseless motion through .the thick gloom and against the pressure ot' the violent blasts. The speed of their gallop and the strength of the currents of ah were like some narcotic that drowned and that dizzied perception. In the intense darkness neither could see, neither hear, the other; the instinct of the beasts kept them together, but no word could be heard above the roar of the storm, and no light broke the sombre veil of shadow through which they passed as' fast as leopards course through the night. The first faint streak of dawn grew gray in the east when. Cecil /elt his charger stagger and sway beneath him, and halt, worn out and quivering in every sinew with fatigue. He threw him self off the animal in time to save himself from falling with it as it reeled and sank to the ground. “Massena cannot stir another yard,” he said. “Do you think they follow us still?” There was no reply. He strained his sight to pierce the darkness, but he could distinguish noth in tr; the gloom was still too deep. “He spoke more loudly; still there was no reply. Then he raised his voice in a shout; it rang through the silence, and, when it ceased, the silence reigned again. A deadly chill came on him. How had he missed his comrade? They must be far apart, he knew, since no response was given to his summons;or— the alternative rose before him with a terrible foreboding. That intense quiet had a repose as of death in it, a ghastly loneliness that seemed filled with desolation. His horse was stretched before him on the sand, powerless to rise and drag itself a rood onward, and fast expiring. From the plains around him not a sound came, either of friend or foe. The conscious ness that he was alone, that he had lost for ever the only friend left to him, struck on him with that conviction which so'often foreruns the assurance of calamity. Without a moment’s pause, he plunged back in the direction he had come, leaving the charger ou the ground to pant its life out as it must, and soufjit to feel his way along, so as to seek, as best he could,the companion he had deserted. He still could npt see a rood before him, but he went on slowly, with some vague hope that he should ere long reach the man whom he knew death or the fatality of accident alone would keep from his side. . He could not feel or hear anything that gave him the slightest sign or clew to aid' his search; he only wandered farther from his horse, and risked falling afresh into the hands of his pursuers; he shouted again with all his strength, but his own voice alone echoed over the plains, while his heart stood still with the same frozen dread that a man feels when, wrecked on some barren shore, his cry for rescue rings back on his own ear' over the waste of waters. « The flicker of the dawn was growing lighter in the sky, and he could see dimly now, as in some winter day’s dark twilight, though all around him hung the leaden mist, with the wild’ winds driving furiously. It was with difficulty almost that he kept his i'cet against then - force; but he was blown onward by their current, though beaten from side to side, and he still made his way forward. He hail repassed the ground already traversed by some hundred yards or more, which seemed the length of. many miles in the hurricane that was driving over the earth and sky, when some outline still duskier than the dusky shadow caught his sight; it was the body of a horso, standing on guard over the fallen body of a man. Another moment anil he was beside them. ‘ ‘My God! Are you hurt?” . He could see nothing but an indistinct and shapeless niaßS, without form or color, to mark it out from the brooding gloom and irorn the leaden earth. But the voice he Jiiiewsb weH übswered him with the old love anil fealty in it; eager with fear for him. “When did you miss me,, sir? I didn’t mean you to know ; I held on as long as I could: and when I couldn’t no longer, I thought you was safe not to see I’d knocked over, so dark as it was.” “Great Heavens! You are hurt, then ? ” “Just finished, sir. Lord! it don't matter. Only you ride on, Mr. Cecil; ride on, I say. Don’t, mind air.” “What is it? When were you struck? O Heavenl never dreamt- ” Cecil hung over him, striving in vain through the shadows to read the truth from the face on which he felt by instinct the seal of death was set. “I never meant you should know, sir. I meant just, to drop behind; find die on the quiet. You see, sir, it was just this way; they hit me as we forced through ' them. There’s the isjioc-head in niy Joins now. I TOE DAILY KVEWSG BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER U, 1867. pressed it in hard, and kept the blOod froin flowing, and thought I should hold out so dill the sun rose. But I couldn't do .it so long; IgOt sick and faint after aWhile, and I,knew well,enough it was ’death. So I dropped doWn while I’d sense left to Check the horse, and get but of saddle in'silence. I hoped you wouldn’t miss me in the'darkness and the noise the wind was making; and you didn’t heai’ me then, sir; I was glad.” Ilis voice was checked in a quick, gasping breath; his only thought had been to lie down and die in solitude so that his master might be saved, * * * * * Cecil sat motionless as though turned to stone. His eyes were dry and fixed; but ever and again a great tearless sob shook him from head to loot. The only life that linked him with the past, the only love that had suffered ull things for his sake, were gone, crushed out as though they never had been, like some insect trodden in the soil. He had lost all consciousness, all memory, save of that lifeless thing which lay across his knees, like a felled tree, like, a broken log, with the glimmer of,'- the’ tempestuous day so ,ch|ll and white ujion yie unturned lie was alone on earth; and the solitudes around him were not more desolate than his own fate. lie was like a man, nurobqr. and., stupefied intense cold; his ■ and his siglit could only see those features that became so terribly serene, so fearfully unmoved with the dread calm of death. Yet the old mechanical instincts of a soldier guided him still; he vaguely knew that his errand had to be done, must be done, let his heart ache as it would, let him. long as lie might to lie down by the side of his only* friend, and leave the torture of life to grow still in him also for evermore. instinctively he moved to carry out the duty trusted to him. He looked east ’ and west, north and south; there was nothing in 6ight that could bring him’ aid; there were only the dust-clouds hurled in' billows hither and thither by the bitter winds still blowing from the sea. All that could be done bad to be done by himself alone. His own safety hung on the swiftness of his flight; for aught he knew, at every moment, out of the mist and the chiving sheets of sand, lucre might rush the desert-horses of his foes. - But this memory was not with him: all he though); of was that burden stretched across his limbs, which, laid down one hour here unwatehed, would be the prey of the jackal and the vulture. He raised it reverently in his arms, and with long, laborious effort drew its weight up across the saddle of the charger which stood patiently waiting by, turning its docile eyes with a plaintive wondering sadness on the body of the rider it had loved. Then he mounted himself; and with the head of his lost com rade borne up upon his arm, and rested gently on his breast, he rode westward over the great plant to where his mission lay. The horse paced slowly beneath the double load of dead and living; lie would not urge the creature luster on; every moment that shook the drooping limbs, or jarred the repose of that sleep, seemed desecration. He passed the place where his own horse was stretched; the vultures were already there. He shuddered; and then pressed faster on, as though the beasts and birds of prey would rob him of his burden ere he could give it sanctuary. And so he rode, mile after mile, over the barren land, with no com panion save the dead. The winds blew fiercely in his teeth; the sand was in his.eyes and hair; the way. wiis long, jtnd weary, and sown thick with dan ger; but he knew of nothing, felt and saw nothing save that one familiar face so strangely changed and transfigured by that glory with which death, had touched it. Thus burdened, he made his way for over two leagues. The hurricane never abated, and the blinding dust rose around him in great waves. The horse fell lame, jie to dismount, and move slowly and painfully over .the loose, heavy soil, on foot, raising the (Sooping head of the' lifeless rider. It was bitter, weaiy, cruel travail, of an intolerable labor, of an intolerable pain. Once or twice he grew sick and giddy,- and lost for a moment all consciousness; but he pressed onward, resolute not to yield and leave the vultures hovqriny aloft their prey. He was still somewhat weakened by the wounds of Zaraila; he bad been braised anil exhausted by .the skirmish of the past night; he was weary and heart-broken; but he did not yield to his longing to sink down on the sands, and let his life ebb out: he held patiently onward through the infinite misery of the passage. At lasfhe drew near the car- | avanserai where he had been directed to ob- | tain a change of horses. It stood midway in | the distance that he had to traverse, and al most alone wliep the face of the country changed, and was more full of color, and more broken into rocky and irregular surface. As a man walks in a dream, he led the sinking beast toward its shelter, as its ir regular comer towers became dimly per ceptible to him through the dizzy mists that had obscured his sight. By sheer instinct he found his route straight toward the open arch of its entrance-way, and into the square court-yard thronged with mules, and camels, and horses; for the caravanserai stood on the only road that led through that district to the south, and was the only house of call for drovers, or shelter for travelers and artists of Europe who might pass that way. The groups in the court . paused in their converse and in their occupations, and looked in awe at the gray charger with its strange burden, and the French Chasseur who came so blindly forward like a man feel ing his passage through the dark. There was something in the sight that had a vague terror for them before they clearly saw what this thing was which was thus brought into their presence. Cecil moved slowly on into their midst, his ’ hand on the liorße’B rein; then a great daikncss covered his sight; he swayed to • and fro, and fell senseless on the gray stone of the paved court, while the muleteers and the camel-drivers; the Kabyls and the French, .who were mingled there, crowded around him in fear and in wonder. When con sciousness returned to him, he was lying on a stone bench in the shadow of the wall, with the coolness of the fountain water bubbling near, and a throng of lean, bronzed, eager faces about him in file mid-day sunlight which had broken through the wind-storm. • Instantly he remembered all. “Where is he?” be asked. • They knew that lie meant tlic dead man,' and answered him in a hushed murmur of many voices. They had placed the body gently down within, in a darkened chamber. A shiver passed over him; lie stretched his hand out for water that they held to him. “Saddle me a fresh horse; I have my work to do.” He knew that for no. friendship, or grief, or Buffering, or sqlf-pity might a soldier pause by the wayside while nip errand was still un done, his duty unfulfilled. • He drank the water thirstily; then reel ing Elightly still from the weakness that was still upon him, he vose, reject ing then- offers of aid. “Take me to him,” lie said simply. They understood him; there were French soldiers "among them, and they took him without question or comment across the court to the little square stone cell within one of the towers, where they had laid the corpse, with nothing to break the quiet and . the solitude, except the low, soft cooing of some doves that had their homes in its dark cornets, and flew in and out at pleasure through’the oval aperture that served as a window. , * - ’ , Hp motioned them all back'will! liis hand, and went into the gloom of the chamber alone. Not ofie among them followed. ■When he came forth again the reckless and riotous J'antassins of France turned silently and reverentially away, so that they should not look upon his face. For it was well know A throughout the army, that, no common tie had bound together the exiles of England, and the tcalty of comrade to com rade was.sacred .in their sight. The fresh animal, saddled, was held ready outside the gates. He crossed the court, movintr still like a man without sense of what he did ; lie had the'instinct to carry mu the mission trusted to him, instantly and accurately; but he had no distinct perception or memory of aught else save of those long familiar features of which, ere he could re turn, the cruel sun of Africa would not have spared one trace Autliora aud Authorship, [From “Huuey’rt” UuiiU-.J Some years since a great French surgeon — whether it was Larrey or Velpeau, does not matter —went down to the provinces. He had taken -a holiday from his profession, and was traveling in his own coach, with a sulll “I “7 "Tra* hiippehe'cC nadcast a shoe, and he §t6pfnj«.v »r a smithy to have the defect made good. While the shoe was being replaced the surgeon took a stroll in the neighborhood. The very first man he met had only one arm, the missing member having been amputated at the shoulder. The surgeon asked the cripple who had relieved him of the limb, and was told it was the blacksmith then at work on tho horse-slioe. The sur geon was curious, and obtained permission to examine the shoulder. He looked at it critically. Certainly it had been well done. A little farther on he met a woman with a scar bn her forehead. On inquiring lie learned that it marked the site of an enormous wen of which she had been relieved by the blacksmith. Back went the surgeon to sec the rural operator, lie found him intelli gent —a fellow with a large head, a keen eye, and the lines around his lip denoting firmness and coolness. He learned that, the smith had performed over fifty such opera lions. Here, thought the surgeon, is a man of genius and ability, who only requires edu cation to become at once a wonderful opera-, tor. I must take him, aud put him in his •proper sphere. So he urged him to go iu Paris, ottered him a sum of money suflicicn: to defray his expenses, and a letter Commend ing him to the attention of his colleagues 01 the faculty. The blacksmith consented, and the surgeon, his .horse being how shod, entered his coach and went on his way. * . The surgeon got back to Paris in due time, but forgot about his student in.the press of his professional duties. At length, however, lie was called in to couch a cataract for a high dignitary of the church who was too infirm to leave his diocese. On his way lie passed by the village where he had before found the surgical maker of.horse-shoes, and stopped a; the smithy to see who Tiad succeeded his friend at the anvil and forge. To his gre.it surprise, there stood, making the sparks Ily in showers around him, the identical black smith whom he had sent to the university: “Why, what do you do here, my friend?-'’ he asked. “You promised me to go to Paris.” _ ; - —1 “I went.” “And to study surgery?” " ' “I studied.” “But what brings you hack?” “I learned as much as I cared to know. I was there for two years." “That was rather ashort time.” “Long enough to learn what 1 ought to have known before.’’- “I do not understand you. Have you performed any major operations since you relumed?” “No, and shall not again, I promise you.” “Explain.” “Why, you see," said the. blacksmith, “I went to Paris, and I studied. I got quainted with the skeleton —with the bones and ligaments. It was very well. I mastered most ol'the muscles. It was better. They said I picked up everything marvelously quick. Then I began at the arteries. My faith, it was terrible I” Here the blacksmith passed his horny hand over his forehead, and wiped off a per spiration rising from horror, and not from labor. “I began to see that I had narrowly escaped committing murder fifty times. I remem bered my. uncle, whose crushed thigh I ampu tated within two inches of the hip joint. I used the actual cautery to the femoral artery. If it had failed he would have bled to death like an ox. Let who will operate, I will.not. I have learned enough to know that 1 know nothing.” But while we may, by showing the trouble-i before them, deter some from turning authors, such is not the purpose of our little treatise. We propose to show the path that all men may travel, with more or less success as they have more or less brains. If, after acquiring the knowledge we lay before them, they still have an incurable itch for writing, the pre sumption is they have something in them— something to write about. Without that they cannot write well. With that, and yet'ignorant of the rules of authorship, they may not write well, but yet not quite ill. Colloquially, an author is one who writes a book; and authorship is only another word for book-making. The writer of editorials, of fugitive poems, or even of a communica tion for a newspaper, or a letter, is neverthe less an author. The same general rules are necessary ih all cases, although there is special instruction, needed in special departments. To say something new, and to say it in a pleasing or original way, is the perfection of authorship; but the author who presents an old idea in a novel, and attractive manner, attains to a certain degree of eminence. Authorship is now-a-days a source of profit when pursued industriously by those who thoroughly understand it. The days ul starveling authors have past, except to those who are too arrogant to avail themselves of the teaching of experts, or too stupid to learn. For in this work-day ago, and in a country where the “almighty dollar” is a power, men and women do not write altogether for the honor and glory of the thing,' but because they receive money mliand. —There-are- few fields of labor where the rewards for industry and talent are so ample. At the beginning the young writer is apt to indulge in fancy flights—to pen tales of abstract sentiment, and poems of what he considers pure imagination. This is the callow stage. Ridicule brings his pin feathers; and in a little time his wings grow.. He bends his energies to a purpose—learns that authorship is a profession, and must please its. patrons— and finding what the people wants, becomes full-fledged and spars to the height of public approbation. That last sentence is in the style of the inchoate author, who will think it fine. ’When he gets older, and has more practice he will say—“ Why could not the fellow say at once that when the young author gets expe rience he learns that he must produce that which will sell, and docs it and so is popu lar?” The first requisite in authorship is to have | a purpose—lo -write in order to,convey some " thing to the reader, either Of amusement, in terest or instruction. If the young author be-wise lie will get into an untrodden field, or at least into a part of the field the least trampled down. When every one is.wnting Braddonesque novels, fiiled with murders and bigamies, let him produce one in which the domestic .virtues and pleasures are ex emplified; in a time when really interesting hooks for children are scarce —which is just now, by the by—let him try'his. hand on a fairy tale; when the town is agitated by a religious revival, and the theaters arc de serted, let him not produce a comedy; and if he discover tlie public have need oi some manual which he believes ho can supply, let him do as we are doing how, prepare, it for any publisher who sees the wuut, and is will ing to act as the middle-man between him mid the public. Above all things let. him not think the publisher a fool because he does not stand ready to buy Ids manuscript at first sight, Publishers generally know what, will sell —that is.their business. They may make mistakes—they sometimes do; but dealing with the public, they generally know what the public want. The.young author, however,-is very apt to set out with high ainiß. He does not wish to debase himself, and sell his brains for money, lie writes for a higher purpose than mere gold ami greenbacks. This is very fine and sk'f.tyv.bul. the okl stager, when ,he.. heavs-this, excjtums With Mrl Uwchelt in- the-“ Vicar of Wakefield" —“Fudge I” It is that winch has made so many suffering authors—it is that which has made so many bad authors. A certain amount of money is necessary to make a man independent; and inde pendence is generally necessary to efficient writing. There may be some who write vigorously in want and misery; but if so it is from tbe spur of necessity, or from the stimulus of the money they expect to earn, or . because . .they have a grievance which quickens their brain and impels their pen;-and the vigor is apt to die with its causes. And no matter how no ble tbe purpose that prompts tile writing, the brain of a man who has not means becomes, dull, or lacks tlia power of abstracting itself from the miserable wants of the moamut. Once a nuiii enters the arena, of authorship, hit never leaves it. The habit grows by use. .The writer feels like Aruauhl, who, to the query whether he were nut old enough to rest, answered —“Rest! have we not all eternity to rest in'.'" We do not urge authorship as a profession. Those who succeed are well paid, but there is a dark side to the picture.- The miserable life of Savage, and the equally miserable life ot Tee were due perhaps mainly to the lack of moral prineiple in the men; but there are instances even in modern days of the seantiness ot reward of modern authors. Alphonse K.trr wrote his first novel, popular in Frauee even yet. anu sold it to a publisher for ),200 franca (§210), and took promissory notes for die amount. The notes were never paid, and die costs of protest, amounting to as much more, tell on poor Karr. Another Trench writer oi reputation, Handeau, received for novels six hundred francs, one half in wafers. Beranger, from -whoso works his publishers netted a half million francs, received an an nuity of less than a hundred, and sixty dollars. How ever, Beranger had few wants,and was so content that it was with ditliculty his pub libbers could get him to take the money when they raised his annual pension to three thou sand francs. The elder authors suffered more than the younger. Thus, Spenser was_ in—want; Corneille- had an ohl.age of misery; Tasso had to bor row small amounts of silver at one time to procure food: Camoens, the great Portugese poet, died “in an hospital, without having a sheet or shroud to cover him;* Aldrovandus also died in an hospital; Ockley, the author of a famous History of the Saracens, passed a great par t of his life in a debtor's prison; Vaudel, the most illustrious poet of Holland, died in poverty; Cervantes was miserably poor; Xylander sold a manuscript work for a dinner; the fate of Chatterton is universally known; and Vaugelas, before he closed a life of wretchedness,left his dead body to the surgeons,for the benelit of his creditors. In the more modern day, insutlieient pay ment to meritorious.authors is not common. On the contraiy the profits are sometimes enormous. Charles I)ickens bus probably received a half million fur his works, and his income is about seventy thousand dollars per year. But he is a perfect man of business, owns all his books and . has them manufac tured for himself, although he sells them through Chapman A Hall, to whom he allows a per eeutage. Mrs. Stowe, for Uncle Tom, netted a small fortune. The emoluments of Cooper, Irving, and men of like rank, were considerable: even riylvnnus Cobb, Jr., and, Mrs. Kouthworth have accumulated fortunes; and the author’s per centages from the sale ot some of our popular school books have the air of fable. Noah Webster lived for the greater part of his life-time upon the profits of his spell ing-book. The sums obtained by some of the French authors for single works are still more startling. Victor Hugo was paid §+'(),Coo for Les v Miserables and $B,OOO for the copyright of a single poem; while the Xotre Dame dr. Parts brought him $40,000, and his other works similarly large sums. He is said to have retused $lOO,OOO for the copyright of his last book. -Yet b' 1 about his »br« iong time beTore he found a purcliasef'~ar three hundred francs; George Sand realized ten thousaid.dollars.on each, of her seventy five volumes of novels, and about .$80,600 additional on her plays. There is little doubt that Alexander Dumas, the elder, has made nearly a million of dollars, and 1 spent it. Miss. Braddon is rapidly acquiring a fortune. Sir don, the author of La Fannille Jienioton— a play produced in English in New York, under the title of The Pant - Family, has received for it, from the Parisian and pro vincial theatres, about $30,000. Paul Foval, another playwright, received for La Town, played here under the name el‘ The JQufcc's Motto, $24,000; and for La Fils du Liable, $22,000. Besides this, his an nual income from the copyrights of his novels averages $12,000. Porisard received $12,000 in advance for his last piece. Lamar tine lias received and spent a fortune, and complains now of poverty, not being proba bly worm $50,000 —a pitiable case of destitu tion. So Eugene Sue received 750,000 francs for liis Mysteries of Paris, nearly as much for the Wanderiny Jew, and realized a large fortune from his various works, and -si icnt -it- as-French- -authors—generally__da._ Scribe, the dramatist, left a fortune ot $BOO,- 000. The English and American authors ot repute are generally thrifty. They make less, but hold what they get. The fernalo writers have uot generally made as much money as the others, less because ot the unpopularity of their themes than trom tlieir absence of business tact. There need be no more weak writers among women than for there are pufyects to which leoiale genius is particularly fitted, and in which, they surpass the other sex. v Home ot them—- as in the case of Miss Bronte, Mrs. Craik and Mrs. (ivilihlback, have, along with womanly defieaWS force and vigor usually termed masculine, and a keen perception of human motives and feelings. Thu proportion of weak writers among" women is nevertheless greater than among men; but we hold not necessarily so It arises from various causes. Their read ing 1b generally less various, and their appren- ticeship to letters less vigorous. A boarding school miss produces a composition which ih the envy of her companions, and emboldened by this success, sends some “sweetie-pretty ’’ thing to the village paper. The editor, glad to have.a contribution from a local source, and perhaps himself with no very .well culiivatcd taste, speaks of it as an admirable .production. At length the young lady scuds a love story to a city weekly that has a club of subscribers in her neighborhood, and not being below the general average, nor above, the production is accepted. From that time forth the young lady author produces talcs of like character, aud poems of heart-breaking devotion to an imaginary Leander, all peas of one pod; and licr vicious, though innoxious style, becomes as firiuly fixed as, some un pleasant trick in a bfully-brcd horse. tenmtai.i-i spi es.

These agents did not confine tlieir labors to K un tuck) , but airn operated in Southern Indiana, visiting dm towns ibid hamlets,wherever any clue could be obtained to parties dealing in articles iioiitrabaiul of war. The female spies were generally disguised in male attire, and ,80 '.complete was the they visited tlie Louisville lintel, Galt House, thea tre, and -other public places,without attributing any particular attention or exciting the Mig il cst suspicion of their sex. They 'appeared like young men of eighteen or twenty years of age, and dressed in. the latest styles, twist ing their fancy canes and smoking cigars like young bloods of the first water. With the exception of, perhaps, three or four civilians, tlieir range of acquaintances was confined u the officers then on duty at this post. It was their custom to report at the Provost Marshal's office in female attire every day, and ns tie-re were women constantly at the office on busi ness, the presence of tiiese -spies never cave in-,-.; to any suspicion. * * • $ '■* * >it ¥ ' These females fiequeutly made incurs:-m' • through the finer, and penetrated the cento of tin-t otiledi-raey. gaining important intor maiion reg u\fiug the movements of me eiieliiv.

It w t-. me ' mt.liner in-which site was engaged a- a '-,»>* and the cunning plan by which she w-.« liveo d through the lines to the t.Viutrui'O-.;--.- as i'li ‘-enemy"'to the Union.- If we in:-; ike hot she wait playing .a part in the •••'Sewn v Si-teis ! 'win n it.oceiured m the Provost Mar, / sled that site, would lie just the "trick tor a spy. It was accordingly proposed To her, and .-he ."actepled the situation m good faith," agreeing to abide by and billow out the instiuctiuns laid down. In one oi' the scenes a banquet occurs, at which each of the performers gave a toast, in which they aim *1 to make a “local hit." It was understood that this actress shrink] advance to-the foot- , fights and drink “to the health of Jell'.-Davis and the Southern Confederady," when she was to be instantaneously arrested by thc- Provost Marshal, who was ofi band with bis guards for that purpose. The programme was carried out to the letter aud the result wuB a great sensation. The audience in, their "bewilderment","could scarcely believe-their- - ears, eyes or senses, and as she was a favorite on the Louisville boards, the sympathy foi .the supposed rash young lady was deep mid earnest, although her friends were, pow erless to help her, or save their pet from the impending doom. On the fol low ingxlay this incident (not set down iq the programme), was the topic of conversation, and many were the expressions of sympathy for this act of madness in llic very teeth of the blue coats and bristling bayonets. It will be recollected that at that time the theatres were under the supervision of a provost guard, wno'were ready to “snatch" the first one who committed, by act or word, a breach of loyalty. Tlie newspapers re corded the arrest of their fair actress anil in due time it was announced that she was be sent through the lines for disloyalty to the Government." This was considered a lenient sentence, but it was generally supposed that she was deemed a monomaniac by trie mili tary authorities. Of course, only the Marshal himscll unu two or the military were supposed to be in tlpMMßgft or had any idea that it was all premeditated on their part. When the day for her departure arrived, she was conducted to the outposts with the usual baggage allowed in such eases, in which were stowed away copies of the papers containing accounts of the affair. The guards who conducted her to the line of' Dixie were no doubt in total ignorance of the fact that she was on her mission as a Federal spy. The rase succeeded admirably, and . sbe had scarcely penetrated the Confederate lines until the much-abused young lady was received with open arms by a detachment ol the “enemy 1 ’ as a martyr to tlieir cause. Her career in the South with the armies of Generals Bragg, Morgan, and others, and her triumphant reception on the Rich mond boards as the persecuted ac .CawSkVof the North —together, with her subsequent detection, conviction and sentence of death as a Federal spy, are all matters of yellow-covered history. She was rescued horn prison at the fall of Murfreesboro, when / the Federate took possession, and sent to Nashville, .where she lmd a big reception and received some handsome presents from those who appreciated her trials and faithfulness to the Union cause. The Government afterward commissioned her as Major, and for aught we know she wears the rank to-day and receives pay, though we have not heard of her ever having been assigned to the command qf any department. The last we heard of lifer she was one of the attractions at llarnum’s Museum, New York. Here eudeth the first chapter of the operations of Federal spies in this c ity during the war. PKOfOSAIiS.
