"You know John Habberton," said one
i of a group of artists who were talking to-
gelher, "is doing the hook reviewing for
Godey'snow. A few mouths ago he had a
letter from nn editor an editor, mind you
I who ashed if Mr. Ilabln rton could possi
bly secure him a new novel hyOuorge l.hot
or one by Thackeray. Said he would be
willing to pay almost any price if either of
them would send him a new story."
"Oh, pshaw!'1 said the rest, with un
bounded contempt.
"Uh, it's a fact, upon my honor!''
"Well, perhaps it is," said the second
speaker, "for I know of a hook dealer who
wrote to a publisher here and asked that
ho would send him a new novel by Jane
Austen, for those he hud were selling very
well. Poor old Janet I guess she turned in
her grave at that."
Everybody laughed, and tho long haired
youth shook hack his bang! and ulluwed
himself to look renlly intelligent.
"Your stories are bad enough," he said,
"but they don't equal one which I have
heard vouched fur by good authority. It is
that 'As You lake It' was produced several
years ago on the stage of a New York the

author!"

The popes have been drawn from all
classes of society. Nineteen were sons or
near relatives of princes, and an equal num
ber came from illustrious families. Many
came from absolute poverty and obscurity.
Sixtus VII was the son of avery poorllsher
man; Alexander V was the son of very poor
and unknown parents, the future pope
spending ull of his young life in begging ou
the streets. Adrian, t he only English pope,
was abandoned early in life by a worthless
father ami had to subsist on charity until,
going as a tramp to llud an asylum in
France, he entered a monastery or convent
as a servant. His real worth was tcxin
manifested in his diligence, and his virtues
and Intelligence soon won for him the papal
tiara. Sixtus V had for a lather a poor
laborer, a common servant for a mother,
and a laundress of vicious habits for a sister.
('destine V was the son of a farmer of no
means and little intelligence. Benedict XII
spent his childhood in a bakeshop. Urban
IV learned the carpenter's trade from his
father, as did also (iregory VII. Five of
the popes studied medicine before taking
holy orders. Julius 111 wxis the son of a fa
