t f- THE NEWS AKD OBSERVER, SUNDAY. EEB. 9. Three Prominent Authors Bead Rare Dooll Southern Novelists A" Dy DIU T. D. IUNCSpUIUY. . Three deaths among Northern au thors have ... occurred within a f year that I regretted to learn, for ; I had read good deal of their productions. They 'were Thomas f Bailey Aldricn. . Edmund Clarence Stedman., and Wil liam K Aldea, ; I wrote of the I first i mentioned when he passed away.Wlth ln a-year.-e had attained to about seventy-one years of r age. Hei-wa surely a writer of gifts poet, editor, a good novelist. I began to3 read his productions when he was probably not more than twenty years old, and in my own young manhood. I first knew him as a writer for thepopular New Tor "Home Journal.' the crea tion pf Nathaniel P. Willis and George P. Morris, a literary paper I subscrib imI to and read from myj sixteenth year until I was probably ! twentytClght. A Id rich had genuine poetic genius as his charmln lyrics and polished son. nets unmistakably evidenced.! He wrote a book of "European travfcK as I recall It from its distant past, ana iv title was either "Views . Afoot' or iTiirrtn -with My Knapsack." I am death, and where it occurred. I have only seen mention of his end within a few! days. He wrote Action, but of that part of his-, labors I have no knowledge. His last contribution pos sibly was that called "The Bohe mian,", that appears n "Putnam's Monthly" for February. It is anjacr count of "literary New York in j the Sixties." I expect to find It pleasant and informing. He was . for several years the London literary correspon dent of the excellent literary weekly, the New. Tork "Saturday Review." He was succeeded by 4 writer, name not given, who is Industrious and skilled. He is not so full of Individ ual ! opinion as his predecessor was. but Is a valuable literary newsgath erer. Northern Be- North Caroll- ("Chrlstlan rtf rin r which of those was uio hook as Bayard Taylor had written a book with on of these titles. Aldrlch wrote several very, popular and inter esting novels. ?1 He was skilful !n his narration and plots. Here are his chief productions -In i prose: "Bable Bell." "Majorie Daw and "The ht-ry of a Bad Boy." all of which were widely popular. His larger nov. la ,ere "Prudence Palfrey." "The Queen . Kheba" and "The Stillwater Tragedy." Ther' won fame for the author and were full of - excellence). His poems have been published in the volumes. Mv recollection Is that he edited the "Atlantic Monthly." the best of lit erary monthlies, for several years. He was born in New Hampsmre in He resided in Boston at the time of his death ' ' But a few days ago, a distinguished and superior American author passed into eternity, in his seventy-fourth year. .! I have read through his. superb and. celebrated work on "The Victo rian Poets," , and have read at other times portions of. this charming prtti cal work, so replete with subtle thought,, thorough Insight, and most felicitous English. For: twenty years " it has been to me one of the most fas cinating volumes in my library.! Its - charm Is such that It has led me since " to read almost every thing I ever saw from hi refined, elegant pen. He was horn-in 1811, and was a successful banker In New York.- He devoted a .portion of .each day to l literature. He steadily I - grew in fame as the years went by,- It mas In 1173. when his volume of collected .poems appeared. A Northern Jeditor wrote of them over twenty years ago that "they are mark ed by lyric beauty, and by a graceful , combination of satire" and pathos." The same writer said of his fine i vol ume on' The Victorian PoetT jthat it "contained excellent, ! though une ! qual criticism of modern English hls ! tory." ..That may be and still It re- mains the surest, most satisfying vol ume f critical discussion of the best ef the "Victorian Poets' that has i com from any pen. English or Amer 1 ' ican.Of tourse. opinions vary as to ! the greatest j1 writers, Tennyson, Brownlngand jothers, but it: Is a fas cinating volume and admirable In Us sanity; breadthr and judgment I! will not undertake to discuss him here, i although, feuC advise . aiL who., really love -letters ' to read caretuny nis work on the "Victorian ' Poets." ' I know of no literary critic of America 1 would place beside him but James Russell Lowell, both New Bnglanders l I think." He was not a poetic genius 02 a, high type like Poe, and perhaps ! Longfellow, but he had poetic endow ! menu that gave to the world verses - that deserve recognition and j preser vation. He was not read and enjoyed by the masses, but by the few who ap preciated high thinking and poetic art n2 a genuine' kind. He did not write .- tfor the million. ' I find in the " New L Tork. "Saturday Review" for January 1 25th a helpful study of Stedman. It 1 well says, and truly, that neither the ' matter nor the manner was adapted to ("careless and Interrupted listen ing. What was thus ; written at lei sure was meant to be read at leisure.. And leisurely readers are compara tively as few: as leisurely writers." r t He- was a fine' interpreter of : true genius, .and kind and hospitable to newcomers into the poetic domains. His style was 'clear, felicitous, choice and scholarly. He enjoyed deservlng ly a high place among American; crit ics in- prose and particularly In poet ry; He was unquestionably a critic of fine' skill, high sense of Justice and acuta appreciation. His s poetry; was not great, but virile often, and full of grace and elegance. The "Saturday Review" article says that nobody en joyed or more exercised what Mr. Swinburne calls -"the noble pleasure pf praising," so nobody more enjoy ed the rescue of a durable poem from the! threat of oblivion. t Probably he may, .secure perpetuation of fame more by his superior critical .powers .than by his secluded and sober Terse. .The "Saturday Review says truly , that h was. "the most authoritative of .our literary critics, especially of our "critics Of poetry." it particularly lauds his poem entitled "Mater Coronala and considers It very superior, a. truly 'wonderful exercise in high thought and diction of Miltonlc majesty." That Is high! praise Indeed; jit adds admir ingly: t 'AsMacauly Maid of Milton himself, 'the etylejs stiff with cloth of gold. To sustain such a strain through almost thirty stanzas without a lapse is a remarkable feat, a feat - which perhaps not one of the surviv ing singers could equal. But this is clearly i and exclusively ! verse for scholars, this admirable artistry. No body would- think of calling it popu lar poetry." ' At I have said.; I have been a reader of htm for quite a- quar ter of a century, and have held him to be one of the best equipped writers of this' country. I have never read a sketch of him, and. know nothing of him specially beyond his gifts and hirh vtandina as a man of character and influence. , His qualifications as an anthologist were high, w He had " special jrifts that equipped him thor oughly 'for such exacting work. r X make a parting selection from the article- I have cooled from already, that bears upon his special equipment for such exactinr toil.

One writer assures the NeW York "Saturday Re view" that no such person as Miss Fisher or , Mr4 Tlernan ever was born In Wilmington, and that no per son "with suchi a name." with either of the names mentioned "has achiev ed; distinction in the world of letters." Miss Agnes Rippliar, a well known woman of letters In the North, has published an article quite recently with the startling title, "The Devil In Literature In Man's Image and Like ness." She discusses "his Satanic Mai Jestys" influence in literature . from Martin Luther (to Bernard Shaw.') A fruitful theme If well handled. But through four times and am now quite half through again. I read on each Sunday four or five pages only, and It is meaty and healthful and helpful and stimulating. The more t read this precious volume the ! more point ed, enriching, satisfying, it seems. It Is indeed wonderfully r suggestive and helpful as It appears to me. I really wish that every Christian believer or professor would read this book every Sunday. It would be sure to benefit them, I think. To a believing heart, seeking prayingi soul It must prove full of hope and love and encourage ment. It is Indeed a practical, useful. encouraging, fostering, ever stirring book. , Try It, It may do you everlast ing good, and help you to attain to & higher, a more spiritual life. I say, again, that It Is the most practical religious book I ever read, and I have read many famous works by masters. among them Thomas A. Kempis' won derful book and Bishop Jeremy Tay lor's very unique and beautiful work, "Holy Living and Holy Dying. I think Spurgeon's book the most prac tical and helpful. I am sure that the prolific nineteenth century never gave to mankind a wiser, purer, more stim ulating religious work. It contains 277 pages, and (throughout It is rich in saving, common-sense wisdom and Instruction. It Is based upon texts drawn from twenty-two volumes of sermons "a mighty i , mountain of sound theology" says Spurgeon, and he had read them all by Rev. Thom as Manton. a great Puritan divin of England of some two hundred years ago, Spurgeon writes that "ministers who do not know Manton need not Wonder if they are themselves un known." Manton says: "A ministry that stayeth in the paint of words will beget that painted grace." Upon this Spurgeon thus comments: "If, it is not a real, hearty ministry of grace, inspired by the Holy Spirit, it will end in nothing. Fine . words neither wound nor heal. Oratory may amuse, but it can not convert: and rhetoric may astonish, but it will not save. We must have more than mere words, however striking paint will not do; we want living preaching, by men in downright earnest, attended by the Living Spirit, or else life will never be created or sustained by It, What is the use of coloring the cheek of the dead ? The hue of life 1s a mockery while death reigns within. That is not preaching which creates sem blance of poetry, but never Imparts the substance." My advice is read Spurgeon, and you will learn. Manton is wise . and fertile, and his metaphors are han dled by Spurgeon with ! skilfulness, point, wisdom and Illuminating pow er. Study him again and again. God help you to do it. .
