The following paragraph from the Boston Dailv flpsr
tissr gives Of the affairs of Mr. Charles Dickens
quite different from that which has recently gone hs
rounds Of the press
ut Is matter Of decacy touch upon the private az
fars of gentleman. But will venture TO say word or
two with regard those Of Mr. Dickens whose domestic
life has been ruthlessy invaded by this slanderer-
Even since the commencement OF the Pckwick papers
Mr. Dickens has received large income and that income
has been generously but not cItravagsny devoted so far
as was necessary TO the comfort and happiness OF those
dependent on him. The noble manner in which he has
discharged his duties and than his duties towards
those with whom the relations Of life has closely bound
him. Is known TO all who know him and them; and the a
tectionae admiration with which he is regarded by the
circle Of relatives and friends by whom he surrounded
should forever silence the tongue Of the slanderer Mr.
Dickens lives in style OF simple elegance without the
slightest extravaganza, ahd far within his means His in
dusiry is scarcely equaed by any in England; and
the popularity and circulation of his works quite surnass
any thing known in modern tmes, except Mrs Stoves
Uncle Ion lie receives his friends with genial hospital
y, but without ostentaion, lie enjoys life in rational
manner running into OF the of fashion or
parade, which might tempt weaker man placed in his
circumstances, in great city like London.
vi have believe that the profits Of the new and
revised edition Of his works which has al enormous ae
wholly untouched by his expenses If So then fe
