there with the most liberal hand . One of his latest ifts was of two beds in the Children ' s
Home g * at Mineola , He has also been quite active in the affairs of the Methodist Church ,
and is regarded as a strong and valuable churchman by the leaders of that denomination . A comfortable fortune will enable him to pass x
his time as he may desire , and there seems to be no doubt among his friends that if his intended search for health shall be successful
he will soon again quarter himself at Hempstead . —Publishers' Weekly , New York .

What Becomes Of It?—It Is One Of The Pro...
What becomes of it ?—It is one of the problems with which a # ian may occupy his
X mind when , to speak paradoxicall * y , he wishes v it to be unoccupied , what becomes of all the
manuscripts which are rejected by the publishers . There must be an enormous quantity of them somewhere . A professional reader
told me once that out of the manuscript books which he read there were not 5 per cent .
which ever were published by the firm he read for or by any other ; and his estimate is rather a generous one , since there are so many books
that are too obviously bad ever to go to a reader at all . What is done with the battered and shabby manuscript whichafter it has gone
from publisher V to publisher X , , has been read KJ to all the sympathising friends who are available as audienceand been submitted to the
impartial criticism , of the author ' s dearest friends again and again ? Of course there must be instances where the heroic measures which
are so characteristic of the unsuccessful authors ofor rather inromance are followedand
the , ill-starred but , genius-fraught manuscri , pt is given to the devouring flames ; but it is to
be feared that these cases are less frequent than they should be . Probably in most cases
the parcel of shabby sheets continues to get shabbier , the leaves in time become separated
and the now author and has then lost , on and a visit the end in , house when - cleaning timeor gone has — removed — — to — another ___
