THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S. Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-sire of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 65. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers. at Is. 6d. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable.' —Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths Is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento • mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. London—W. TwEEDTE. 337. Strand. W.C. Just published, price is 6d.. by post ls.

"A writer of many years standing" in the Morning Advertiser who was previously associated with several invazines and reviews givas Some interesting and original fats -respecting Charles Dickens' early literary career. It t a mistake according to this writer to suppose that Di rens earliest writings appeared in the Morning 0 ' Chronicle under the editorship onlf. Black. Mr. Dickens fidst became connected with thniliorning Chronicle as a•re porter, in the gallery of the House of Commons. This wt *n 1835-36 ; but Mr. Dickens had been previously en. f ed, while in his nineteenth' year, as a reporter for al 3 lication entitled The Mirror of Parliament, in which cal . city lie occupied the very highest rank among the eighty or ninety reporters for the Press then in Parlia ment. It was about the year 1833-34,-before Mr. Dickens's connexion with the Morning Chronicle, and- be for Mr. Black, then editor of that journal, had ever met wi i him, that he commenced his literary career as an am teur writer. He made his debut in the - latter en of 1834 or the beginning of 1835 in the Old I t Monthly Magazine, then conducted by Captain Holland. It was a a half-crown magazine of good standing, and the predecessor of the New Monthly Magazine, started under the editorship of Thomas CaMpbell, which still . survives. It was in this monthly periodical—not in the columns of the Morning , Chronicle—that Mr. Dickens first appeared in the realms of- literature. He sent, in the first instance, . -:bis contributions to that periodical anonymously. These caiisisted of sketches, chiefly of a humorous - character; and Were simply signed "Boz." For a long inre t . ~.,. did not attract any special attention; hilt were '•-, :, ... 44.. en of n nQwspaper : notices of the magazine as "c e er, t, - - - v f rc. :,.... t ,• ....: ~ _ who signs himself "J. G.," uncle e e'r r -.. . i . ' the monthly magazine, which by this time had dropped its prefix—early in 1836—and he expressed to the pro prietor his admiration of the " Sketches by Boz," . and hoped they would be continued. He therefore asked what the name of . the author was, when, strange to say, the proprietor, Captain Holland, had forgotten it ! However he promised to look up a letter of his and brine. it the fol lowing day. The letter was written in the most modest terms. It was simply to the effect that as he (Mr. Dickens) had hitherto given all his contributions—those signed ' Boz"—gratuitously, he would be glad, if Captain. Holland thought his " Sketches" worthy of any small re muneration, as otherwise he would be obliged to discon tinue them, because he wag going very soon to get married and therefore would be subjected to more expenses than he was while living alone, which he was during the time, in Furnival's Inn. Thei new editor wrote to propose a continuance of the sketches, and received in re turn a letter from Mr. Dickens to the effect that he had just entered into an arrangement with Messrs; Chapman and Hall to write a monthly serial. He did not name the work, but I found, in a few weeks, it was none other than 'The " Pickwick Papers." He added, that as this serial would occupy much of his spare time from his duties as a reporter, he . could not undertake to furnish me with the proposed sketches for less than eight guineas per sheet, —which was at the rate of half a guinea per page. " Only imagine," exclaims the writer, " Mr. Dickens offering to furnish me with a continuation of his `Sketches by Boz' for eight guineas a sheet, whereas in little more than six months from that date he could—so great in the interval had his .popularity become—have got a hundred guineas per sheet of 16 pages from any of the leading periodicals of the day," At first Charles Dickens had little promise of the fame and' fortune he was to acquire so rapidly. He was to receive from Chapman and Hall for the ' Pickwick Papers " fifteen guineas a num ber, each number consisting of two sheets or thirty-two pages. For the first five months " Pickwick " threatened to be a failure, though great exertions were made to . circulate him throughout the provinces. So small was the demand for it, indeed, that the publishers, accord ing. to this account, thought of discontinuing it altogether. However, Sam Weller made his appearance, and produced a complete revolution. The press was all but unanimous in praising " Samivel " as an entirely original character, whom none but a great genius could have created ; and all of a sudden, in conse quence of " Samivers " popularity, the " Pickwick Prpers " rose to an unheard of popularity. The back numbers of the work were ordered to a large extent, and of course all idea of discontinuing it was abandoned. By the time the " Pickwick Papers " had reached their twelfth number, that being half , of the numbers of which it was originally intended the work should consist, Messrs Chapman and Hall were so gratified with the signal suc cess to which it had now attained that they sent Mr. Dickens a cheque for five hundred pounds as a practical expression of their satisfaction with the sale. The work continued ' steadily to increase in cir culation until its completion, when the sale had all but reached 40,000 copies. In the interval between the twelfth and concluding number,Messrs. Chapman and • Hall sent Mr. Dickens several cheques, amounting in all to £3,000, in addition to the fifteen guineas per number which they had engaged at the beginning to give him. It was understood at the time that Messrs. Chapman and Hall made a clear profit amounting to nearly £20,000 by the sale of the " Pickwick Papers," after paying Mr. Dickens in round numbers £3,500. - - --- - The following is Charles Dickens' own account of the first talk about " Pickwick " given some time since :—" I was a young man of two or three-and-twenty, when Messrs. Chapman and Hall, attracted by some pieces I was at that time writing in the Morning Chronicle news paper, or had just written in the Old Monthly Magazine ((of which one series had lately been collected and pub lished in two volumes, illustrated by Mr. George Cruik shank), waited upon me to propose a something that should be published in shilling numbers—then only known to me, or, I believe, to anybody else by a dim recollection of certain interminable novels in that form, ti hich used to be carried about the country by pedlars, and over some of which I remember to have shed innu merable tears before I had served my apprenticeship to life. When I opened my door in Furnivals Inn to the partner who represented the firm, I recognised in him the person from whose hands I had bought, two or three years previously, and whom I had never seen before or since , my first copy of the magazine in which my first effusion— a paper in the Sketches,' called Mr. Minns and his Cousin '—dropped stealthily one evening at twilight, with fear and trembling, into a dark letter-box, in a dark office, up a dark court in Fleet street—appeared in all the glory of print ; on which 'occasion I walked down to Westminster Hall, and turned into it for half-an-hour, because my eyes were so dimmed with joy and pride, that they could not bear the street, and were not fit to be seen there. I told my visitor of the coincidence, which we both hailed as a good omen, and so fell to business. The idea propounded to me was, that the monthly some 'thing should be a vehicle for certain plates to be executed by Mr. Seymour ; and there was a notion, either on the part of that admirable humorous artist, or of my visitor, that a Nimrod Club,' the members of which were to go out shooting, fishing, and so forth, and getting themselves into difficulties through their want of dex terity, would be the best means of introducing these. I objected, on consideration, that although born and partly bred in the country I was no great sportsman, except in regard of all kinds of locomotion ; that the idea was not novel, and had been already much used; that it would be infinitely better for the plates to arise naturally out of the text ; and that I would like to take my own way, with a freer range of English scenes and people, and was afraid I should ultimately do so in any case, whatever course I might prescribe to myself at starting. My views being deferred to, I thought of Mr. Pickwick, and wrote the first number, from the proof sheets of which Mr. Seymour made his drawing of the club, and his happy portrait of its founder—the latter on Mr. Edward Chap man's description of the dress and bearing of a real personage whom he had often seen. I connected Mr. Pickwick with a club, because of the original suggestion, and I put in Mr. Winkle expressly for the use of Mr. Seymour. We started with a number of twenty four pages instead of thirty-two, and four illustrations in lieu of a couple. Mr. Seymour's sudden and lamented death before the second number was published brought about a quick decision upon a point already in agitation ; the number became one of thirty-two pages, with only two illustrations, and remained so to the end. Boz,' my signature in the Morning Chronicle and in the Old Monthly Maga zine appended to the monthly cover of this book, andretained long afterwards, was the nickname of a pet child, a younger brother, whom I had dubbed Moses, in honour of the Vicar of Wakefield, which, being facetiously pro nounced through the nose, became Boses, and, being shortened, became Boz. Boz was a very familiar house hold word to me, long before I was an author, and so I came to adopt it." Writing of the deceased author the London correspon dent of the Scotsman says :—Since his sudden seizure in the midst of his readings last year Mr. Dickens had never been the same man. After a little while he 'began to go about as before, flitted to and fro in his ardent, restless way, took long walks after his favourite fashion, starting on the whim of the moment, at any hour, for anywhere, and resumed his writing and other labours, but not with the same lightness and vivacity as before. Though a sturdy walker, there had always been something of a limp in his gait, and this now became more marked. He had more need of his stick, and stooped perceptibly. He grew sooner wearied, both in walking and in work, and complained at times of a strange supineness of mind and laboured slowness with the pen. Those who had not seen him for some time were most struck on meeting him within the last few months with the sudden whiteness of his hair. From grey he became all at once white just as Mr. Bright did not long since. I saw him a few weeks ago, just before he left town, and his, sunburned face seemed set in snow, beard and hair were blanched so perfectly. Beyond question, I think it was " Edwin Brood " that killed him. He went back to work too soon. He had had the idea of the story for some time in his mind, I believe ; but after the first impulse of the start was off, he found the development of the incidents and characters slo w . and painful. Within the last week or so he was com plaining much of this. He seemed to make so little pro gress and at the cost of such an effort. Perhaps it wa s the hot weather, he thought, or he was out of sorts, and would get into better trim by-and-by. But the disorder was deeper and more fatal. Even before his illness last year, however, he had had warnings of exhaustion. He suffered at times from a terrible sleeplessness which JUNE 14, 1870. often drove him forth at midnight to walk—his favourite remedy for all troubles—till dawn. Like Wordsworth, he belonged to the school of peripatetics. Much given myself to walking at all hours, I have come across him often in his rambles, always marching swiftly, with ear nest resolute air, as if bound to be at some given spot by the hour and minute, his quick glancing eye scanning everything and everybody. In -the story of the " Two Apprentices," which he wrote with Wilkie Collins, he described his own restless impetuous activity—laborious idleness he called it. All this wear and tear of writing, public readings, and per petual movement, told even on his elastic and vigorous constitution in the end. The American trip brought him close upon £30,000 ; but otherwise I doubt whether it did him much good. Altogether the strain was too severe. Then came " Edwin Drood" to put the finishing stroke to the work. Besides the three numbers already pub lished, there are, I believe, three others all but finished for the press. The plot of the story is sketched out, and it is hoped that sufficient materials remain at least for the solution of the mystery which forms the basis of the tale. There is a talk of a burial in Westminster Abbey, and it will rest with the family to decide it. In any case, there will certainly be a monu ment there. Literature, like virtue, is too often only its own reward. But it may be mentioned that the author of " Pickwick," starting as a Parliamentary reporter, and Without any aid but his own energy and genius, acquired a considerable fortune, which he leaves to his family. CHARLES DICKENS'S DEATH SCENES. At the close of Our Mutual Friend, the great man now lost to us, wrote on the 2nd of September, 1865, a " Post script," the last words of which ran thus, in reference to the frightful railway accident at Staplehurst, which had taken place in that same year, on Friday, the 9th of June afp - etly five years .tct the very day from this last fatal _ _ _ Truisday, t author expired : " I remember "—these , are the closing words of Our Mutual Friend—" I remember with devout thankfulness that I can never be much nearer parting company with my readers for ever than I was then, until there shall be written against my life the two words with which I have this day closed this book :— THE END." o une, LITTLE NELL'S. "For she was dead. There, upon her little bed, she lay at rest. The solemn stillness was no marvel now. " She was dead. No sleep so beautiful and calm, so free from trace of pain, so fair to look upon. . . . " She was dead. Dear, gentle, patient, noble Nell, was dead. Her little bird—a poor slight thing the pressure of a finger would have crushed—was stirring nimbly in its cage ; and the strong heart of its child-mistress was mute and motionless for ever."—The Old Curiosity Shop. LITTLE PAUL'S. " And when Paul saw him, he stretched out his hand and said, ' Good-bye ! ' " `Good-bye, my child ! ' cried Mrs. Pipchin, hurrying to his bedhead, ' Not good-bye ?' " For an instant Paul looked at her with the wistful face with which he had so often gazed upon her in his corner by the fire. `Ah, yes,' he said placidly, `Good-bye ! Walter, dear, good-bye !'—turning his head to where he stood, and putting out his hand again, ' Where is papa ? ' " He felt his father's breath upon his cheek, before the words had parted from his lips. " ' Remember Walter, dear papa,' he whispered, looking in his face. `Remember Walter. I was fond of Wal ter !' The feeble hand waved in the air, as if it said ' Good bye !' to Walter once again. " ' Now lay me down,' he said ; ' and, Flory, come close to me, and let me see you.' " Sister and brother wound their arms around each other, and the golden light came streaming full upon them, locked together " ' Tell them that the print upon the stairs at school is not divine enough. The light about the head is shining on me as I go ' " The golden ripple on the wall came back again, and nothing else stirred in the room. The old, old fashion ! The fashion that came in with'our first garments, and will last unchanged until our race has run its course, and the wide firmament is rolled up like a scroll. The old, old fashion—Death !

And look upon us, angels of young children, with regards not quite estranged, when the swift river bears us to the ocean !" Dombey and Son. TINY TIM'S. " Quiet. Very quiet. The noisy little Cratchits were as still as statues in one corner, and sat looking up at Peter, who had a book before him. The mother and her daughters were engaged in sewing. But surely they were quiet " ' And He took a child and set him in the midst of them.' " When had Scrooge heard those words ? He had not dreamed them. The boy must have read them out, as he and the Spirit crossed the threshold. Why did he not go on ? - " The mother laid her work upon the table, and put her hand up to her face. " ' The colour hurts my eyes,' she said. " The colour ? Ah, poor Tiny Tim ! _ _ " They were very quiet again. At last she said, and in a steady, cheerful voice, that only faltered once : _ _ " I have known him walk with—l have known him walk with Tiny Tim upon his shoulder, very fast indeed.' " And so have I,' cried Peter. ' Often.' " And so have I,' exclaimed another. So had all. " But he was very light to carry,' she resumed, intent upon her work, and his father loved him so, that it was no trouble :no trouble. And there is your father at the door 1' " She hurried out to meet him ; and little Bob in his comforter—he had need of it, poor fellow—came in. His tea was ready for him on the hob, and they all tried who should help him to it most. Then the two young Cratchits got upon his knees and laid, each child, a little cheek against his face, as if they said, ' Don't mind it father!' ' Don't be grieved !' _ _ _ " Bob was very cheerful with them, and spoke plea santly to all the family. He looked at the work upon the table, and praised the industry and speed of Mrs. Crat chit and the girls. They would be done long before Sun day, he said. " 'Sunday ! You went to-day, then, Robert !' said his wife. " Yes, my dear,' returned Bob. ' I wish you could have gone. It would have done you good to see bow green a place it is. But you'll see it often. I promised him that I would walk there on a Sunday. My little, little child ? ' cried Bob. 'My little child ! ' "He broke down all at once. He couldn't help it. If he could have helped it, he and his child would have been farther apart perhaps than they were.—The Christmas Carol. THE CHILD-WIFE'S. "How the time wears, I know not; until I am recalled by my child-wife's old companion. More restless than he was, he crawls out of his house and looks at me, and wan ders to the door, and whines to go upstairs. "'Not to-night, Jip I Not to-night.' " He comes very slowly back to me, licks my hand, and lifts his dim eyes to my face. " 0, Jip It may be, never again !' " He lies down at my feet, stretches himself out as if to sleep, and with a plaintive cry, is dead. " 0, Agnes ! Look, look here !' "- That face, so full of pity and of grief, that rain of tears, that awful, mute appeal to me, that solemn hand upraised towards Heaven ! " ' Ag . nes?' "It is over.

" ' Never to the Parish ?' with a convulsive struggle. " No. Most solemnly.' _ " Nor let the Parish touch me ? Nor yet so much as look at me ?' with another struggle. " No. Faithfully.' " A look of thankfulness and triumph lights the wan old face. The eyes which have been darkly fixed upon the sky turns with a meaning in them towards the compassionate face from which the tears are dropping, and a smile is on the aged lips, as they ask— " What is your name, my dear ?' " My name is Lizzie Hexam.' " I must be sore disfigured. Are you afraid to kiss me?' " The answer is the ready pressure of her lips upon the cold but smiling mouth. " Bless you !

A public meeting of Nonconformists was held last night at St. James's Hall in opposition to sectarian teaching at the cost of the State. There was a very large attend ance. Mr. M'Arthur, M.P., presided, and urged the necessity of undenominational and unsectarian teach ing. At the same time he expressed a feel ing that to be effective education must be made compulsory. The Rev. A. HANNAY said it seemed as though the Government intended to make an effort to pass the bill by the assistance of their adversaries, and in the teeth of their most intelligent and warmest supporters. The bill was a most defective one—defective even with the amendments the Government proposed to insert. To his mind a bill could not be considered perfect unless it entirely excluded the Bible from schools, and left reli gious instruction to religious people and religious institu tions. This announcement was received with loud cheers and cries of "No, no." Mr. ILLINGWORTH, M.P., complained that the bill should have been introduced at all this session. As it now stood it would cause endless strife. It would seriously affect secular education, and would be an insult to religion. Had it stood over till next session the Government would have had the opportunity of clearly seeing the state of public feeling upon the subject. Mr. RICHARD, M.P., and Rev. C. H. SPURGEON were also among the speakers. The latter objected to the pro posed boards, declaring that, if adopted, religion would be entrusted to Bumbledom, or to the parson and the squire. He advocated religious teaching, but held that it should be unsectarian, and he would preach his views up and down England, if necessary. It was the duty of every Christian to agitate against a Government who would ex clude the Bible from their schools. Resolutions embodying the sentiments expressed were adopted. The first declared that so long as any classes were required to pay rates for the teaching of religious tenets from which they dissented the bill could not have the approval of Nonconformists. The second, while not desiring the withdrawal of the grants to present denomi national schools, deprecated an extension of the system, and advocated the time-table conscience clause, and the abolition of all inquiries by the inspector as to the religious teaching given. The third resolution called for a prohibltion of all catechisms or formularies ; this not to apply to the Holy Scriptures, which might be used, not compulsorily, under the time-table conscience clause. The serious defeat sustained by the Chinese Im perial arms in Shense province has been confirmed. Two deaths from sunstroke are reported, one in Devon and the other in Cornwall. In both cases the per sons struck were girls. Mr. Akroyd, M.P., who recently met with a serious accident while riding, has resigned the lieutenant - colonelcy of the Fourth West York Rifle Volunteers. It is stated that the Earl of Stair has accepted the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ayrshire. His lordship will at the same time retain the Lord-Lieutenancy of Wigtonshire. A. native of Hyderabad has just been gathered to his fathers at the mature age of 125 years. He was, therefore, twelve years old at the battle of Plassey, and has seen the fall of two dynasties in his native State.

Every precaution is being taken, and the park is closed to the public. The death is announced of Commander Henry Wall, 8.N., in his sixty-fifth year. This gallant officer received the thanks of both Houses of Parliamert, in con junction with the First Lieutenant of the Thetis, on board which vessel he was serving, for having, in 1825, saved by their exertions 107 sail of merchantmen which had been cast ashore in a heavy gale in the Bay of Gibraltar. The new City terminus of the Metropolitan Dis trict Railway will be at the junction of Queen-street and Cannon-street, or about 200 yards from the Mansion House, the new Queen Victoria-street affording a direct approach to the station.—Railway News. A serious fire, which resulted in the destruction of a great quantity of valuable farming implements and agricultural produce, took place on Saturday morning at the farmstead of Mr. Anthony Hancock, at Stubley, near Dronfield, Sheffield. Damage to the extent of £BOO was done. The Manchester Courier says that a building firm in that city recently received a threatening letter, inform ing them that they would be served in the same manner as Mr. Johnson. A strict watch was kept on their pre mises, and several men found inside the yard have been arrested. A. woman, named Reed, residing at Exeter ob served, on Saturday morning, the legs of a man hanging over the side of a water-butt in a court in which she lived. On looking into the butt she found that the man was her husband, who was dead. It is supposed that he committed suicide. A. testimonial is about to be presented to the eminent surgeon, Professor Partridge, F.R.S., by the old and present students of King's College and King's College Hospital, to mark the sense they entertain of his services to the institution and to themselves personally during a period of forty years. Proceedings have been taken in - the case of " Martin v. Jackson," to bring the appeal of the Rev. Mr. Jackson, the rector of Ledbury, before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Unless the cause be hurried on, it cannot, on account of the arrears, be heard for about a year.—Worcestershire Chronicle. At one of the Liverpool railway stations, while several thousand persons were awaiting, a young woman from Rochdale, Sarah Aspinall, accidentally fell, owing to the crush, under the wheels of a train that was being backed into a departure sliding, and had both her legs shockingly mangled. She died four hours afterwards. We are glad to notice (says the Musical Standard) the frequency of small and comparatively unostentatious meetings of country choirs for evening choral service. Regarding many of the larger gatherings it may be justly held that the musical result is, in no way commensurate with the trouble expended upon preliminaries. Mean while more care should be taken to exclude all but grave and steady chants and sober hymn tunes with more dis tinctive melody about them than many now enjoying a fleeting popularity among the " authors' friends."
