Southern writers are, as a general
thing, repressed. Their prod uctions
are crowded out to make room for
clippings of scandal and sensation
alism to suit the morbid taste of the
average reader. It would be belter
lor all to read a good speech or essay,
the aim of which was lofty and ele
vatinsr, rather than, to.go through
with the minutise of hangings, mur
ders, or the many worse things pub
lished. Young writers are easily dis
couraged; Yet some of the most
noted of English Utterali had some of
their first efforts not only refused but
publicly ridiculed. Instead of being
crushed by such severe criticism they
worked all the harder, and, obedient
to the impulse of true talent, climb
ed higher and higher upon the lad
der of fame and destiny until, over
topping the critics, their charmed
senses became oblivious to the croak-
ings. v Leaving censure far below,
they were borne upon the tireless
wings of art and their cultured im
agination soared and revelled in il
limitable realms of undying thought.
