C. SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 1897. A YOUNG ENGLISH GIRL OF RARE GENIUS. The Messenger more than once has .said that some enterprising publisher should publish a fairly cheap Edition f Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights." It is out of print we suppose sua we never see it referred to as one of, the accessible books. The novels of ber elder sister, 'the gifted Charlotte, mxe to be had in various editions, but the one novel -of the richly endowed young English girl is not to be obtain ed in any form,, fine or cheap. We have not read the ; book since it first ap peared, perhaps not far from fifty years ago, we suppose. Writing of it now we can only give early impressions. A" re cent reading would possibly moderate our opinion, as age is not so apt to take an enthusiastic view of new books as in the vigor and glow of youth. "Wuth ering Heights" made a decided impres sion upon the reading public when pub lished, and it appeared to us something extraordinary as. a novel. We do not remember, if we ever knew, the age of Emily Bronte when she wrote the1 story, but she was probably not more than seventeen, was certainly under twenty, we think. It was her first and only effort. She died in her early woman hood of consumption. We have no bi- doubtingly as .to dates. That novel, if republished now, would be read with as much interest generally as it. was read by the cultivated men and women of nearlyt a half century since. It has iuallties, if we are not mistaken, that would command the interest of, almost all classes of readers including that smaller class of j educated and discip lined readers who find in novels "of a particular kind Mntellectual power, in tense originality of conception and de- wlopment, and a faithful study of ,aratop - aad-muttve. It seemed tu our youthful mind that this sole .pro duct of the remarkable young author was a splendid manifestation of genius flowering early. We have thought sup pose Jhat young English girl living in i so much seclusion, had. been spared to live so long as George Eliot Jived or as Mrs. Ward, who still lives, what wealth of literature she might and probably ,vould have created what bounteous bestowments might have fallen to the world's share of her mental riches, so that her fame would have been assured name have been added to the splendid - list of great English novelists. On the other hand, it might have been that her gifts were so precocious that her first - effort might have been her highest, but 'this Is not probable. She might have grown' in intellectual power as she would doubtless in literary art and knowledge of the world, as some fa- . i . "1 l!1 mous writers nave aone, unui ner crea tions might have taken rank with the glories of English literature. "Wuthering Heights," as first fruits; certainly gave rich promise of future fruition. Now and then we are re minded of thef strange, wild, weird story, so -full of vigor and originality, from thp hand nf an nhsrnrp rmintrv English girl in her teens, by incidental references to her, and generally in con nection with her sister Charlotte, who wrote thosi stronp. uninne novels ' "Jane Eyre" and Villette." Many who have written of these two memorable sisters (there was a third, Anne, who bad gifts in less degree; wrote a novel too called "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall," -we write from memory and ciled quite young of the same fell di sease that killed the others,' have ; thought that Emily gave indications of greater genius than her more lis tin - guished sister. Some ten or twelve .years ago there was a reference to her one book in The Atlantic Monthly, and : from it we copy a few sentences. Pos sibly theymay induce some one to bor row an old copy and read it. She has been in her grave for several decades, but some still remember the Yorkshire lass so rich in intellectual endowment, with pleasure and , admiration. What Sirl of her age ever wrote so virile a j book as "Wuthering Heights ?" The I Atlantic said: "Painf ul, nay repulsive, as the story " r nnrn fho wVinl anil manr timaa more tragic than the rest, In that it was indeed the first and last articulate word of Its author, the reader of today who : baa partially forgotten will find a re perusal of it worth his while. The read er of today, indeed, appreciates it far snore truly than any. reader of its own poch did, or could have done, except- - Ing always the great creature whose - terse yet piteous epitaph on her great ' r sister forms the preface to the sec vmd edition of Wuthering Heights. The book was curiously and, so far as its author was concerned, distressingly in advance of Its time." The writer may have been too young to have been contemporaneous with the first publication of the novel. It was, widely read and admired and discussed. The Atlantic, so recognizes its power and originality that for the generation that had passed away "it possessed a sort of fearful fascination; and now at last it commands, a cult, and is ack nowledged to have founded a schooL" Of what other girl, whether amid the bleak hills of Yorkshire, In a country parsonage, in a little village of day laborers, or in more attractive and for tunate centres of culture , and literary advantages, can It be said that in writ ing one book that survives now well nigh through five decades, that It has so impressed the world as to create a cult and form a school? There is noth ing like this, we apprehend. In all the literatures of the ages. The Atlantic touchingly adds, and so many years af ter the sweet and generously endowed young mowan had- "passed into the eternal silence": "Thy fame has come late, poor fiery spirit, who passed so long ago, uttering an unintelligible cry, but it is fame. One would so gladly know whether it is regarded by them at all, and if so, whether with complacence, or sorrow, or scorn." ; - '. To our early impressions the book ap peared affluent and V robust without classification. It may suggest to - the cultured reader some one or more of creative works that is like it, morbid and extraordinary, but it Is singularly original and powerful, and, as the northern critic wrote a decade ago, "ab solutely lawless a mixture of trans cendant merits and glaring defects." He adds that "she Is slavishly realistic and outrageously romantic."" That is a correct statement we suppose. We recall that it was full of realistic to morbidity quit anticipating Zola in some respects and yet the glamour of romance gathered around the story. But really, is it ' not marvellous, that this obscure girl of perhaps not more than seventeen, her almost, sole com panions ? her two sisters, hid away in' Yorkshire in a country rectory, un known out of the hamlet in which she was born perhaps and lived, should write a book anticipating a large school of writers who were to succeed her, positively preceding the realistic school Zola, Howells, Tolstoy and the others J of that set not following but preceding not copying other models but hew out her own pathway in the shadowy .forest, and yet, a pioneer in realism she is still glaringly reproductive of that other great and seductive school the school of Scott, the master and im mortal, of the elder Dumas nd their followers in the wild, unrestrained ro manticisms of her own rich, ardent, in tense genius. She left some poems that are not to be overlooked altogether,! as did hre sisters. ) It is very long ago since we read .io--feo-oiv-xcftriTcra- la autrver' it was readable as we remember it, and while clever was below the rank of her two more gifted sisters. Charlotte died last, in 1855, after marrying and producing three or four novels. Her best we have given above. The three are buried in the same village graveyard at Haworth and it is pilgrim ground made sacred by early genius. They should not be forgotten. Charlotte has had several biographies written of her. Mrs. Eliz abeth Gaskell wrote, a delightful and famous life: of her. Lately another work upon her and family has appear edthat possesses uncommon interest because of new matter new facts, let ters etc. and is well received by criti cal editors, magazines, etc. We read an appreciative paper upon it in The Bookman some moths ago. We do not recall now the author's name. All that concerns these gifted sisters is of liter ary interest. The, latest results of pharamceutical science and the best modern appliances are availed of in compounding Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Hence, though half a century in existence as a medicine, it is fully abreast of the age in al that goes to make it the .standard blood purifier. r j RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR SUNDAY. We like to read after Dr. Theodore Cuyler. For well nigh thirty years we have made it a point to read anything from his fruitful and faithful pen that comes under our eye. He is a good and safe counsellor, and has a profound un derstanding of men arid their needs. He is a practical writer and has done a great deal of good during his active and earnest Christian life. He encourages the backsliders and their name is le gion to return, telling them that Jesus Christ "keeps open doors for such." He sees ' the deadness, the formality, , the worldliness, ': the wickedness, in the churches, and declaresit his conviction that they "sorely need a reconversion." This is plain. The Saviour said to Peter, who was so. confident of himself, that he would hold out and never betray his Lord and Master "Peter, when thou art converted, strengthen thy breth ren." 'Peter . fell, and it was a great fall he fell "far and heavy." He de nied and he cursed. He denied thrice, and three . times did the Saviour ask him MPeter, lovest thou Me?" Three times had Peter to make his confession. Dr. Cuyler, with true insight and ex cellent .persuasiveness, says:. . My friend, if you have grown cold in heart, and indolent in duty, if prayer has toe come" a penance and the world has eaten out your love of the Master, don't go hunting amid the rubbish of memory for a lost religion. Give up the bid 'hope' and seek after a better." There are tens of thousands in the churches j wno need to ao their works over and to seek in deep penitence "an Injured Father's face." If they were ever .with in the ark, t they have tumfbled out somehow. If they ever "found Christ," they have"so strayed away as to have lost sight erf 'Him. They are again in the wilderness of sin. Come back, come back! Is the invitation of Heaven. The wise Presbyterian quoted from, under stands' "Peter's case and applies it. He says with true, insight: . r: " -. "If Peter sinned grievously, he re pented deeply, and worked grandly, and fought gloriously until his heroic mar tyrdom ibrought to him his resplendent crown. Dig down deep, my friend, and lay the foundations of a new and stronger life on Jesus Christ. If Christ once kindly said "and Peter," you can write your name-in the same roll of penitents, and say, "Peter and me.' " In material greatness our own coun try has been a pronounced success. In an hundred years it accomplished won ders, and has excited the envy and ad miration of other peoples and nations. If vast material expansion were all, then these United States might well move the nations to emulation and ri valry, ; and they might well toe., the theme to inspire the highest eulogium of the orator and to provoke the lofti est inspiration , of poetic genius. But money getting is not the highest mani festation tit the age nor the greatest ex pression of manhood. There 13 some thing greater in man than avarice and nobler achievement than worldly gain. Money is not the one", thing needful to gain the prize of Heaven. The Saviour told, the sordid young man who said he kept all the commandments to go and sell what he had. God demanded the highest sacrifice his' covetous na ture could make to surrender what he had and to give ail to the poor. A re cent American scholar and author, -Professor Peck, in his striking poem in The iBookman, on 'iMoney," says of It: "Call it by numerous names, transmute ! it or mint It or melt it, 'Still supreme will it sway the world i and its wallowing millions, Still will it master the minds of men while he who toeholds it Sees in its depths whatever responds ' to the cry of his yearnings." The poet sees the power of money so great as to silence even the rebuke of the pulpit when the holder of it is as "a merciless tyrant," who 'X?oins from the blood of the poor the price of their bitter undoing." He says "the smoothed faced" preacher or priest, as "he stand in the perch of his pulpit," beholding the rich man is silent. He beholds the man "of invincJble millions" and sees him in hig wrong doing and oppressions and he is dumb, for "Him 'beholding, the priest perceives the auriferous halo Round the ophidian head and his voice momentarily falters. , Then his message of wrath he diverts to . the sinners of Judah. . i But of the sins of the reptile before him complacently basking Never- a-jwonJ 13 oe-he say r ! and "his voice with Its unctuous accents Oozes with oil as he ends An a bland, bonediptory manner. ; " Quenching the lightnings of God in a platitudinous puddle." . Yes, there is something greater, higher, nobler than ; mere money get ting. There are higher prizes to be won than to be called a Croesus or a Roths child or an Astor, Wonderful is the age in men of vast -wealth, but the great men are not many. The Bedford jail was a higher throne than that of any modern or ancient monarch. The men of the crown die and go to their places. But the inspired tinker is read around the, world today and his wondrous work of- creative genius is the delight of, hundreds of thousands of the children of God, and his fame is with the ages, while his immortal part is '.with his Saviour amid the supernal glories and J splendors of the Heavenly City. Take tne-iame ana innuence ana usefulness and the reward 'beyond of such a "hero in the; strife," such a servant of God, as John Wesley and contrast him with any s man of any face in any age who has sought riches and its accompani ments and neglected God and human ity, and you will see how infinitely greater and wiser is the Christian dis ciple and worker than the man who tries, to satisfy he soul and meet its destiny by the perishing things of sense and all of Golconda's gold. Some years ago Rev. W. H. P. Faunice, pastor of the 'Fifth Baptist church, New York, preaching a brilliant sermon at Cornell university, said this, and it is so good it must be given: '. "O, young men of the new age, so wonderful in all material expansion!: You want the nobility of the apostles and martyrs have you faith in the God of the apostles and martyrs also? You want the peace and hope which .sus tained Livingstone and Gordon in Africa, which comforted Judson in the prison at Ava and made 'Mackay the founder of a Christian state in Uganda have you their convictions as to life and death and God? iNay, let . us come into the presence of one greater than any martyr or prophet. This is clear, whoever would 'be like Vhrist must live in the shadow of the great convictions that moulded the life of Christ. We must not simply accept what 'He said we must live in the atmosphere which He carried with Him. And to Him God was the greatest of all realities, and Heaven He called Himself the Son of Man which is in (Heaven. If any man then inquires: How shall I attain these foundations of 'belief ? T answer Go to Jesus Christ. Start with this, that. He is the sort of man you want to be, and begin to obey His teachings. He will take care of the rest." TO CUKE "A COLD Hi ONE DAY.

People must toe looking in wrong directions for that "air-ship," or they take a star In the west to be the anx iously sought stranger. At Williams ton, onr 14th, a sight in the Heavens was seen and described in a letter to The. Messenger. If it is a "star," as some suppose,- how can. it appear to others like a ship with rigging? Where are the telescopes? The Richmond newspapers contain very : cordial notices - of the departure of Dr. J. W. Long, for years one of the faculty of the Medical College of Vir ginia, and his return to. his native North Carolina. The Dispatch says he is "one of the most' popular physicians in. the city," and that "to do honor to the physician,, who, during his brief residence, in this city, has - won a place in their hearts not easly to toe filled.'' This is gratifying to know how. high this young North Carolina physician stands in Virginia's chief city. : He will establish, a hospital at High Point and engage in the general practice of sur gery throughout the state. Rev. Bd w1ard iL. "Pell, another able and gifted North Carolinian, resident in Rich mond, and editor o'f the useful and ex cellent family religious monthly paper, The Bible Reader, in a letter to us, says of Dr. Long:. "No man who has settled in this city within my knowledge has risen more rapidly than Dr. Long, and his remark able success in his specialty (the dis eases of women and children) has won for him a multitude of friends, includ ing our toest physicians throughout me Old Dominion, many of whom have protested earnestly against his leaving. I was one of the protestants, 'but now that the matter is settled, my only concern is to see him cordially wel comed on his return. I regard Dr. Long as one of the "biggest of all the 'North Carolina boys that have made a name for themselves abroad. Richmond has not toeen slow to recognize his abilitiea (I happen to know that his practice 4s lucrative), and the press here has toeen very kind to him." v .'Mr. Pell writes without the knowl edge of the doctor.
