Oblivion will enshroud these gropings after effect, for they are of no interest to the public. Among these scribblings I have found some notes written in pencil when I was four. The date on them leaves no doubt about the time of their production.
After a proper quill commend me to a stumpy BB pencil; you get less polish and broader effects, but you are still doing good literature. Sometimes the work is close Mr. George Meredith, for instance, is suspected of a soft pencil and always it is blunter than quill work and more terse.
With this remark, the poet took a manuscript book from a pocket in his blouse, and with contracted brow, he made an entry there in pencil of some happy thought the moment had just then suggested, which occupying some minutes, his companion in the interval walked to the window to examine into the appearance of the weather, and perceiving that the rain had ceased, and one bright star already twinkled in the sky, he suggested the propriety of preparing for their immediate departure, in order that they might get over as much of their ground as they possibly could before dark.
It is naturally more difficult to draw by means of bobbin and thread, in horizontal lines, than to work unrestrictedly with a pencil, or even with an embroidery needle. There is a great deal in the preparation of the design; as in all other crafts this must be suited to the method of work; otherwise the difficulties of execution will be greatly increased and the result will be less satisfactory.

The writing started: "County of New York. In the name of the People of the State of New York " Kennedy did not wait for us to finish reading.

It however did not take place until the morning. While waiting for the man who was to be swung to make his appearance, I took a pencil and made a drawing of the machine to which he was to be fastened.
Monsieur Tournevau was much excited; he opened the envelope and grew pale; it contained only these words in pencil: "The cargo of cod has been found; the ship has come into port; good business for you. Come immediately." He felt in his pockets, gave the messenger two sons, and suddenly blushing to his ears, he said: "I must go out."

A line was drawn upon the slate, and upon this line a small bit of pencil was placed, the success of the experiment depending upon this small piece remaining immovable upon the line. After several trials this was accomplished. The experiment of playing an accordion beneath the table was next made, and in one instance the top of the instrument was thrown upon the table. Mr.
"Why does'nt the President come to see me?" he asked with his pencil. "Where is Frederick what is the matter with him?"
