CUARAC rERS DRAWN FROM LIFE.
The author of Nichola, Nicklehy in the. pre- |
face to that work, states that the only two char
acters drawn from life, and nut imagination, ,are
the brothers CheeryJe. They are described as
liberal, gentlohearted, and Gaternal inan emi-
ncnt degree; with hands always open to the
necossitous poor, aid hearts as large as Phian-
lhropy herself could desire. They are, indeed
admirable portraits, glori)us specllr ens Of hu-
man nature, and calculated in their many good
works, as described by Dickens, not only o win
appreciation, but to excite q desire in the mind
Of the reader, for opportunities to do likewise.
The following interesting anecdoe respecting
there noble minded originals is taken from the
Manchester Eng. times:
~ he elder brother of this house Of lner-
cham-prnces amply reyenged himself upon
GbeIIpr who had made himself merry with the
pccullares or the amlable fraternity. This
man published pamphlet, in which one Of the
brothers w. was designated, as Billy Button
and represented as talking argoty of their Io'-
egn trade, having travellers who regularly vis-
tied Chowbent, Bullock Smithy, and other for.
egu parts. Some kind friend had told w. of
tI!s pamphlet, and w. i,ad said that the man
would live tn repent of its publication. THIS
saying was kindly conveyed to the libeller; who
SAID that he sh ould disappoint them for he should
disapp0int them, for he should take care never
10 bo in their debt. But the man in business
does not always know who shall be his credi>
tor. Tie author the pamphlet became bank
rupr and The brothers, held an acceptance of his
which had been endorsed to them by The draw
er, who had also become bankrupt. Ths wan-
tunly Iibeted men had thus become creditors Of
