2 THE "tVEEKli r ME8SEH&23R, TSUIiSIAY J?AjSf IEALB Y TO 1695. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1835. ANOTHER GLANCE AT A PARTED GENIUS. DE- Ther Qeath of Robert Louis Stevenson has amkened a very profound regret all around the orld of letters. No writer Las died in a long time, save the great Tennyson, whose departure has excited more interest and sympathy J iand whose gifts have called out more Hiearty and generous praise. -We have v read many tender and adrairahla arti- cles upon him. "We have up to now .seon nothing more elaborate and inter - 'esting than! the three column article sent from London by Mr.Gk. W. Smalley, J3iQ yery- able correspondent of the New ork Tribune. 1 'Xym Crinkle," a bril-( " "iiant writer; and original who is em ployed hy the N. Y. World, had an in teresting 'and discriminating paper apon the dead author, but its tone was something depreciatory. It failed to do justice in some particulars, we think, - to fchciQsan of genius no longer of the ' m;rld only as he may survive in Nhis writings. That the final Judgment may not be so high as con--temporary estimate may be probable, but that he was a genius with a mar velous style is what we can not see now wlry any man should question; even though it "be a realistic worshipper of v Howell s type, who is so far gone he de preciates every great master of fiction vcel the Pantheon, and bows down before the shrine of Tolstoi and worships him bs the stipremo fiction. deitv in the realm sjf The striking peculiarity of ty& many Knclish and American n-otices of Stevenson is the almost Uniform ex pression of personal loss'and of "affec tionate regret," to qupte an expression of Mr. Smalley. It is felt that a friend, a most lovable, attractive man of genius, has departed -never to return. . Mr. ; Smalley sayf-of him that "he had an attaching personality, and he .put so "much of it into his books that one who fcnew his books well felt that he knew -the man well.- I have no other title to say anything about him than that which springs from this kind of distant intimacy. I never knew him personally, nor ever saw him. I wish I had. But I have known those who knew him, and they, one and all, spoke of him in away -which men very seldom use to ward another man." They wrote -of him with that marked affectionate. ness that characterize the criticisms of Sir Walter Scott, io us tbe most lova ble, manly man in all literature. There was so much of gallantry, oif nobility, of courage, of hope, of sympathy, of genuineness in Stevenson that it ap pears thai; all men who came in contact with him! soon were drawn irresistably to him. What can bring out the beauty and loyaoleness and benevolence of his character better than the following from a letter in London Times: ."Seven years ago I lay ill in San Francisco, an obscure journalist, quite friendless. Stevenson, who knew me slightly, came to my bedside, and said. ? I suppose you are like all of us; you don't keep your money. Now, if a lit tle loan, as "between one man of letters and another eh?' This to a lad writ ing rubbish for a vulgar sheet in Call fornia!" j ; He went among the Samoan islanders a stranger, a man of letters, a gentle man, a scholar. Soon the half-savages learned o love him. His modesty never forsook him. When honors came thick upon him he continued the same simple, honest, gentle writer. Andrew j -Lang, the! gifted critic and author", him self a. Scotsman, says of Stevenson "His was a heart full of charity and affection j jkimj, honest, much suffering, vailiant. A good man as well as j a writer of j Unequalled charm, a patriot, a -hero in his' quiet way." j if Mr. Sidney Colyin, an English author, lias written an article,, for the London Pall Matt Gazette in which he says that Stevensdn did not desire to live to old age. Hej wrote to Colyin in the spring of 1894Jithat he "was meant to die jrviuug. n He said "he did not enjoy getting elderly." It is -probable that Stevenson was thbughtfmore highly of in this country E than in H.n eland. He was sometimes depreciated. Mr. Smalley refers to this and says; that "there were partial ver dicts anjj hesitating verdicts, and not longagj in a periodical of repute, you might have seen Stevenson spoken of in the tne which Mr. Traill uses to ' ward the Minor Poets, of whom he number fifty or sixty. His death com " pels thefmost careless writer to take a survey 4f his work; to judge him as a whole, and not by this or that particu lar book.j" We believe that his style would long make his books memorable .if they were not suffused with interest. : Lndjuashing with the products of a genius of high jcreative powers. He was a aromancist; of a highly endowed order, -a.nd was not really a copyist from any snaster or masters, however much he may nave aeugntea in the splendid creations of men of rarest genius. Mr. S m alley notes his orignality and says iiiat "if he had imitated Dumas or imitated Scott, he would neve r have been Stevenson. There would have been no 'Treasure Island, still less a 'Kidnapped" of a -Mastov of : Bal lantrae " These named novels are b-- gre a test. When the last named appeared we l "ailed to aexjord it the very high place assi gned him by some-recent readers beeaus e the latter part was a letting doim in both power ; and interest; It was not well sustained as a whole. We-recogi uzed its fine qualities, its drainatio powe: r, its charming $tyle, but the scenes in New York (it Opened in Scotland) failed to measure wii the vigorous painting., the imaginative srJendor, the virile- character drawing of the Scotch portion of the remarkable, enthralling story. We were net surprised tosa& as capable a critic and true an admirer as Mr Sznalley writing a3 follows of "Tb& Master of Ballantrae:" "It would probably b his mast3 piece but for the grotesqua ending, and there is often in Stevenson an element of the grotesque, or of the sangren li the French word again expressinjthe witn mm Wnen ne lost control of lity I suspect he was conscious of hi.v-1wn failing. I seem to reraember tkat he has commented on it, bat I reann3t re member where. So, ore the whole, kidnapped remains Ms masterpiece. There his genius is V be seen at its best, or, at least, in itsymoit perfect rjid flaw less expression. He is correct; we doubt not,, in put ting "Kidnapped" first, although we have noc' read its sequel, "Iavid Bal four,' which has been well praised by goyd critics in two hemispheres. He yyas an artist endowed with a high imag- inative faculty. He was a conscientious worker, and eVen in his poorest produc tions he gave out flashings of his rare genius and many manifestations of his exquisite and often powerful style. Take that last but one of the books he wrote, "Ebb Tide." It is a gruesome, sombre, disagreeable work, and jet he is a dull reader indeed who does not perceive the wonderful descriptive power in a dozen places, and that strong character paint ing that made him in some respects unique.' We copy an entertaining and character reflecting passage from Mr. Smalley. He writes: . "Take what romance of his you will, if you grant him his premise you grant him the whole. His logic is inflexible. His feet are just as firmly planted in Fairyland as among the rocks and heather through which Alan Breck conducts David Balfour. He said him self of "Treasure Island" that there was but one incident be could not defend. He thought it doubtful whether his one legged hero could have climbed the stockade. It is this closeness of grip, this unflinching adherence to the laws he lays down for himself, this fashion for verisimilitude, and his unwearied pains in working out every problem mechanically and mathematically, which in part explain his hold upon the reader and the reader's power of belief. "If, taking for granted the great gifts of imagination and poetic invention, one were asked to name in addition to his veracity one other trait on which his fame depends, I should say distinc tion. He had and the two by no means always go together distinction of mind and also distinction of methods; in other words, style. .. "Then we touch the ultimate reason. He might have had all the rest and if he had not had style, all might have been unavailing." . "Stevenson could have described to you every process and stage of the structure of each sentence and of each passage, for he had the rhythm, not of the sentence only, but of the page, and the sense of balance and porportion, on a great scale, as Froude also had, though all unconsciously. The young writer I mav nonder on that." I We said above that he was an artist. In the use of language he shows this when at his best. He knew right words, and he understood when enough had been said. He had the poetic sense of melody, of rythmical effects. Mr. Smalley says he "was born with an in stinct for language; with a natural skill in the selection and use of words, ,-If he had taken no pains he would have written better than most men. He thought it worth while to tke immense pains in order to write better than al most all. He read in orcler to write. There was no style of which he did not seek to know the secret. With all his creative critical faculty, he had the faculty and he put it at the service of the creative. Few can do that. Intelligent readers fond of letters will thank us for these extracts we have reproduced. It is very rarely seen among men that a writer of fiction is a great stylist, at once imaginative, highly artistic, criti cal and eyen poetic, with a perfect sense of color, of proportion, and capable of beautiful and fascinating effects by the exquisite use of words, Scott often wrote slovenlv. unevenlv. Mprpdith indeed with great powers, writes bar barous English often. Thackeray is the one perfect master of English, greater than any other English novelist, and Frederic. Harrison holds, greater than all other English conclude with Mr. Smalley's final words: : . 1 All Stevenson's art WAS CTIhClill'ovn Beyond it all, aboye it all, was the beau tiful nature which expressed itself in his art the more completely because his art was so complete, yet which was of itself and in itself beautiful, and with or without art would lasting affection of all who knw ha ; man OTA ,k j i- n 7 -w I -.laauiBoon,., FC4t auo iwiuoj. iojci, aaii a cauea, 13 the most wonderful of all prayers.

A great deal has'laeen. written concerning this marvejSou3. Prayer, and many volumes have; doubt less been written upon ii. We know of one that is excellent VSudiesI in the Model Prayer," by Rev. George D. Boardman, DD. He says that the real Lord's Prayer is the seventeenth chapter of John's Gospel, "that wonder f ul, sublime, blessed 'chapter which records the Lordte own Prayerfirst, for Himself (verses 1--5); scoudly, fo? His for His Church Unversal (vefses 20--26)." The Prayer He gave to His Disciples to His Churcii, is recorded in Matt. vi:9-13. We may refer Model Prayer at anotheif time. to j this It is very remarkable mat anyone should doubt the return to earth of the Lord Jesus. It is promised again and again. v e suppose tnat tnere is very much more said of His second coming than there is. of His Advent when He 1 t became incarnated. It seems, to be clearly enough taught that it wi il be both t)9rsonal and ore-melleniaL But we will not argue the point herei There is nothing clearer and more empjiatic in the New Testament han the coining again of our Lord.

Tnere are three great facts foretold in the Word of God. Eirst. that Christ should come; that has been fulfilled.

It is the believer' Hope: Look- mg for that blessed ihope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."

It is an incentive Wo faithfulness. "Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." ".Behold, I come quicklyl" I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." une of the unpleasant signs of these latter days is the proposition j to tax churches. It is heathenfsh, and people who favor it are more Regenerate than the people were in the dirk ages before the revival of letters took nlace. In Wi5?nonRin it KoSn.Jf.f -Ji a4takcu cvea 'favored.

I FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. For some years foreign immigration has been steadily declining. Lasft vear -ending 30th December 1894 thjB total number of immigrants was 228,020, or not one-third what it has been. In 1882 it reached 788,020. It is said that the last returns are lower than they have been since 1878. That year the figures were but 138,469. Germany is now the largest contributor although its numbers are small as compared with.some other years! For instance, in 1884, it sent 155,529, while in the last fiscal year it sent but 53,989. Russia; Poland and Italy are increasing in numbers. The immigrants now as a whole are far less desirable than when Germany, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and one or two other countries furnished the bulk. In 1884, England and Wales give us 54,281 against 18,748 last year. It is so also with Ireland, but not in such prQn portions of loss. " !

'North Carolina Did Well "North 'Carolina did well ilaft year," remarks the Wilmington Messenger, of that State. 'It raised its own wheat, corn. oats, bacon, vegetables, etc." This is all very true,but when was it that Norjth Carolina did not do well? It seems to us that every year In Carolina is a good one and this is mainly attributable to the fact that it has an exceptionally good climate and productive soil, and that her people are industrious to a marked deprree. j . , They are frugal and are erowint? mmro r 1 u 1 iuri 1 um tt aann vrnn - . a 'ZX xlV' ' J Beem, 10 undf-rstand, as.the Messexqeb says, that !tht -wa to independence and comfort lies I in providing at home everything needed that it is possible to produce " 3 1 andjunderstandtng it. they are Duttin Carolina i a State of great possibilities. and the Virginian U always glad to learn of her advancement.
