Mr. r-iiinlc, in one of our c
talks, said:
"And why do you want to meddle
with ldographyV tt'iiy can't you be
content to write three volume Hovels?"
"1 have tin Invention." said 1.
"Then I suppose you can't write that
sort, of 'tot' out of which Kidcr Hag
ga:-d niid such men make their thou
sands .-'"
"I iiiu not clever enough for that," I
replied.
"That answer Is disingciniut
said.
"Well." said I. "I don't want to write
those books."
"That's better." said Fronde, and
turned away. I'-ut afterward he re
new, -il the subjtct, mid said- "I tint
glad yotl don't come to me saying that
you think you have a mission of any
kind, or want to remove a veil from
the eyes of mistaken humanity on any
subject -or to do anything grand or
phil iiithroplcal or that sort of Idiocy.
I have heard so much of that kind of
thing."
-oh. dear. noT' I said. "I want to
put a little money in my pocket, l
have no other motive, and as a publish

"That's well," said Kroude. Mrs. Ire
