t

and cannot be made to understand it, when he is told.

Two results of this mechanical union of creeds are very noteworthy, The first is the violence done to the innate instinct of order, an instinct for which the Chinese aree pecially distinguished, which is conspicuously displayed in the elaborate machinery of the carefully graded ranks of officials, from the first to the ninth, each marked by its own badge, and having its own special limitations. Something analogous to this might certainly have been looked for in the Chinese pantheon, but nothing of the sorts found. I is vain to inquire of a Chinese, which divinity is supposed to be the greater, Yu Huang, or Buddhn. Even in the Temples-to-all-the-god, the order is merely arbitrary and accidental, subject to constant variations. There is no regular gradation of authority in the spirit world of the Chinese, but such utter confusion as if found on earth would be equivalent to chronic anarchy, This state of things is seen in a still more con- spicuous manner in the Halls of the Three Religions (San Chiao Tang), where the images

of Confucius, of Buddha, and of Laotze are dis played in close harmony. The post of honour Is in the centre, and this we should expect to be conceded to Confucius, or if not to him-since he made no claim of any kind to divinity then to Laotze. There is good reason to think that this question of precedence has been in bygone days the occasion of acrimonious disputes, but in all the instances of which we happen to have heard, it has been settled in favour of Buddha, albeit a foreigner i

Another significant result of the union of all beliefs in China, is the debasement of man's moral nature to the lowest level found in any of the creeds. This is in accordance with a law, akin to that by which a bauer currency invari ably displaces that which is better. All the lofty maxime of Confucianism have been wholly ineffective in guarding the Confucianists from icar of the goblins and and devils which figure no largely in Taoism. It has often been remarked, and with every appearance of truth, that there is no other civilised nation in existence which is under such bondage to superstition and credulity at the Chinese Wealthy merchants and learned scholars are not ashamed to be seen on the two days of the month set spart for that purpose, worshipping the fox, the weasel, the hedgehog, the snake, and the rat, ali of which in printed placards are styled Their Excellencies, and are thought to have an im- portant effect on human destiny. It is not many years since the most prominent statesman in China fell on his knees before a water-anake which some one had been pleased to represent as an embodiment of Lung Wang, the god of floods, himself supposed to be the incarnationofanofficial ol a former dynasty, whose success in dealing with brinining rivers was held to be mira colous. This Lung Wang is generally regarded as the rain-god, in regiona adjacent to water- ways, but at a little distance in the interior, the god of war, Kuan Ti, is much more likely to be worshipped for the same purpose, but sometimes both are supplanted by the Kuan Yin P'u Sa or Goddess of Mercy. To a Chinese this does not scem at all irrational, for his mind is free from all presumptions as to the unity of nature, and it is very hard for him to appreciate the absurdity, even when it is demonstrated to him. In con- nection with these prayers for rain, another 'curious and most significant fact bas often been brought to our notice. In the famous Chinese novel called the 'Travels to the West, one of the principal characters was originally a monkey hatched from a stone, and by slow degrees of evolution developed into a man. In some places this imaginary being is worshipped as a rain god, to the exclusion of both Lung Wang and Koan Ti. No instance could put in clearer light than this the total lack in China of any dividing line between the real and the fictitious. To a western mind, causes and effects are correlative. What may be the intuitions of cause and effect in the mind of a Chinese who prays to a non-existent monkey to induce a fill of rain, we are not able to confecture.-N. C. Daily News.

THE PAY. OF AUTHORS.

Little is known, says William Andrews in "Illustrations," of the remuneration of authors until the days of Dr. Samuel Johnson. Before this time literary men, as a rule depended on the generosity of pairons for their means of support, and, as an acknowledgement of their obligations, dedicated their works to them. The dedications were frequently made in most falsome terras. The position of the writer was certainly a very mean one; Indeed, it might fitly be pronounced degrading when he had exhausted his possibilities of patrona. e he starved, It was Johnson-the giant in the world of letters-whe broke through the objectionable custom and taught the auther to look to the reading public for support, and not to a wealthy patron.

Oldys, in one of his manuscripts, says that "Hamict" was sold for £5; but he does not mention his authority for the statement. It appears, from a publication of Robert Greene, in 1592, the price of a drama was so nobles, or about £6 138, 40, of current coin,

ohical works. Hayley received for hit "Life of Cowper" 000, and Southey of his life of the same poet. The life of William Wilber- force" was hold for £4000, "Bishop Heber'A Journals " for £50 o "General Gordon's Diary" for £5250, and the "Life of Hannah More" for

The inconie of Scott was perhaps, the larges ver made by authorship, yit he said that the pursuis of literature was a goed walking-stick, but a bed cruich! His reputation was first inade as a poet, and the following are particulas ul his poetical p ofs; "Lays of the Last Minstrel," published in 1805, 96, 6: Ballads at Lyrical Pieces," published (n. 1806, £100;

મ

Marmion," published 19-for this Meshes Constable offered 1000 guineas soon after the poem was begun. It proved a very profitable speculation to its publishers. During the firs! month after its appearance, 2000 copies were sold, the price being 315. 6d. the quarto volume. Next came the "Lady of the Lake" (1810), L2000. This found greater favor with the public than its predecessors, n'd with it Scott's

poetical fame reached its zenith.. A new poet appear on the scene; it was Byron, and he completely eclipsed Scott. Scot tried, with Two more poems, to win back his last place as. he popular poet of the period, and produced "Rokt by" and the "Bridal of Thermain"; the latter was issued anonymously, but both were failures. When Scott saw that his poetry did not attract many readers, he turned his thoughts and energy into another channel, and commenced bis immortal novels. He had by him an un-. finished story, the work of former rents, and he completed it, giving it to the world under the title of "Waverley." Constable offered £you for the copyright-an amount deemed very large in those days for a novel to be published without the name of the author. Seven hundred sovereigns did not, however satisfy Scott. He simply said: "It is too much if the work should prove a failure, and too little if it should be a success." It was a brilliant book, and entranced the reading world. Scott had now found his real yocation. He received for eleven novels of three volumes each, and nine volumes of Tales of My Landlord, the sum of £iioco. For one novel he was paid toLoo Between November, 1825. and June, 1927, he earned £6,000, an amount representing sa 6s. 3d. per working day. From first to last Sir Walter Scott made by his literary labors about £400,000.

Without seeing a line of Thomas Moore's "Lalla Rookh," the Messrs. Longman undertook to pay £5000 for it. The terms drawn up were simple and send as follows: "That upon your giving into our hands a poem of yours, the length of Rokeby, you shall acceive the sum of 3000. We also agree to the stipulation that the few songs which yu may introduce into the work shall be considered as reserved for your own selling."

His poem, of some sono lines, was written in a lonely cottage in Derbyshire. Moore never tired of telling his friends that the stormy winter is the county helped him to imagine, by contrast, the bright and everlasting summers and glowing scenery of the East.

The work was a great success. The first edilion was sold in almost fourteen days, and within six months six editions had been called for.

Thomas Can pbell received, at the age of years, £600 for his "Pleasures of Hope," certainly a small amount for a fine poemi, yet it gave him name and enabled him to obtain large sums for some very slight literary services.

Very large sums have been paid for historical works. Hume received £700 per volume; and Smollett, for a catchpenny rival work, cleared £2000. The money made by Henry is set down at 330orThe booksellers, says Leslie Stephen, made 6000 out of Robertson's "History of Scotland," He was paid for his "Charles V the handsome sum of £45co. Lingard's "History of England" is, without doubt, an able work, and for it the author was paid £4883. The author's profits for the "Decline and Fail of the Roman Empire," by Gibbon, are put down at £10,000,

appear small when compared with the amounts paid to Lord Macauley. On one occasion he had handed to him a check for £70,000, on account of three-fourths of the net proâts of his "History of England."

According to a careful estimate Charles Dick eas received £18,000 a year from his works for five years, and died worth nearly £100,000. He made every penny from his writing and readinga. We need scarcely repeat the well-known facts that "he not only lived in a very liberal style for over thirty years, keeping up a considerable establishment, and often traveling without regard to cost, but he brou ht up a large and expensive, family."

Thackeray did not make large sums with his books when we consider his undoubted genius and the high place he holds among the greatest authors. It is said that he never made more than 5000 out of any of his novels. He received large sums for his lectures; indeed, the platform yielded him better returns, than the publishers.

Bulwer Lytton's earnings su a novelist - is Choo o

The Earl of Beaconsfield, it is said, received the largest amount ever paid in England for a single novel. His last work, "Endymion," was seld for £12.000.

Wilkie Collins was paid for "Armadale" £5000. James Payn recently received 1000 for the right of running one of his novels in the pages of a sixpenny magazine.

Small must have been the literary pay of Spenser, Butler and Otway, for they feared to die for want of the simple necessaries of life. Milton sold "Paradise Losi" for 5 down, to be followed by £15 if a second and third large editions were required. The first edition consisted of roo copies, and in two years 1300 were sold. The balance was not disposed of until five yea's later. This powerful poem, when given to the world, met with some adverse criilejam. The poet Waller wrote of it thus: "The old, blind schoolmaster, John Milton, hath published = tedious poem on the fall of many if its length be not considered a merit, it hath no other.”

Gray received only 40 for the whole of his poems. He presented the copyright of his famous Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard to Dodsley, feeling that it was beneath the dignity of a gentlemen to make money with his pen, The lucky publisher quite agreed with him, and cleared about £1000 by the publication.

Pope's translation of Homer yielded him about £8,000. He was assisted in the work by Wil-weny years to wait for the days of prosperity

a volume, a scular, who was the author of a of verse. John Henley thus refers to the circumstance |—

Pope came off clean with Homer ; but, thay may, Broome want before, and kindly swept the way. Gay made £1,000 by his " Poems." He was paid £400 for the " Beggar's Opera,” and forthe || second part, "Polly," £1,000. Rich, the theatrical manager, profited to a far greater extent from the Beggar's Opera" than the author. The con- temporary jest was that it made Gay rich and R.ch gay.

Dr. Johnson sold the copyright of Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wakefjeld * for £60, and he thought that amount fairly represented the valss of the work. The great lexicographer," as Miss" Plakerton called him, placed no high value on

Anthony Trollope worked hard to gain a footing in the literary world. His earlier manus- cripts were frequently rejected. He tried to faduce managers of theaters to accept his plays, but not one was ever produced. The first year's labor with the pen, and a very hard year's work too. yielded £12. Next year the sum was still small, only amounting to £30, yet he did not despair. At last the happy tide came, and it was taken at the food. It was in 1855 that he scored with "The Warden." From that time he was a man of mark; his works were in demand, and with ease he earned £1000 a year, which soon la creased to 2000 and £3000, and at the time of his death to about 4010.

Large sums of money were made by George Eliot, but we must not forget that she had some
