Charles Dickens, again.

The Boston daily Advertiser thus contra
diets report respecting Charles Dickens,
which has been in circulation here. The
Advertisers correspondent is supposed to be
Professor FELTON,, of Harvard University:
at is a matter of delicacy to touch upon
the private affairs OF a gentleman. But
will venture to say word or two with re-
gard to those of Mr.. Dickens, whose domes-
tic life has been so ruthlesSly invaded by
this SANDER. Ever since the commencement
Of the PiCkwick papers, Mr.. Dickens has
received large income, and that income has
been generously but not extravagantly devo-
ted, SO far as was necessary, to the comfort
and happiness of those dependent upon him.
The noble manner in which he has discharged
his duties, towards those with whom the
relations Of life have closely bound him, Is
we'll known to all who know him and them;
and the ailectiOnate admiration with which
he is regarded by the circle OF relatives and
friends with whom lie is surrounded, should
forever silence the tongue of the slanderer.
Mr.. Dickens lives in style Of simple
elegance, without the slightest extravaganza,
ana far within his means. His industry is
scarcely equaled by any man in England ;
and the popularity and circulation of his
works quite surpass anything known in mod
ern times, except Mrs. Slows 4" Uncle Tom. .
He receives his friends with genial hospital
ity, but without ostentation. He enjoys
life in rational manner, running into none
0f the excesses of fashionable parade which
might tempt a weaker man placed in his
circumstances, in great city like London.
| have reason to believe that the profits of
Jhe new and revised edition Of his new
works, which has an enormous sale, are
wholly untouched by his expenses. If so,
1hen few literary men are so well off in their
pecuniary circumstances as Charles Dick

"It is singular" says the Newark Daily
Advertiser, "yet it has been remarked by
persons of observation, that the old Romans
seem not to have bequcathed their physiog-
nomy 10 the Italians of the present day, but
that the Americans, especially Of the north
rrn states, resemble them most of any other
people now existing, in the general features
# the face. Judging from well-authentiCa-
,ed statues of Cicero, Tacitus, Seneca, and
other men who inhabited Italy sixteen or
eighteen centuries ago, they had not only a
general American cast of countenance, but
possessed some of the particular features
considered of great importance by physiog-
aomists, such as the forehead, mouth, and
that most prominent and emphatic feature
of all. the nose OF our country. Atany rate,
travellers have said, that most pleasant
lome feeling always came over them. when
surrounded by the statues of the great fore
fathers Of the present Roman race. They
were used to such faces at home. claimed
immediate acquaintance with them, sympa-
thized with, and seemed to understand them.
They Were no longer strangers in strange
and, as they felt they were in going from
their ideal society to the real living popula-
ton in the drawing-rooms and streets.--
Whittier has the old Roman likeness gone,
then, if not to America? 1t is not in Italy

To MY Brother.

Ny brother, take this parting gift
From her to whom you're dear;
And as you think of one away,
Bestow thought-a tear,
A tear fain would have thee shed,
The language of the heart,
It shows how aCeli-how much we love
The friends with whom we part.
'Tis pure-and 7 would have thy heart
Become, by grace divine,
AS pure and free from sins alloy,
Be made like this to shine.
Dear brother, seek the " Pearl of price,"
Obtained through Jesus's cross,
IT'S purer far than gold like this,
And free from earthly dross.
Twill guide your youthful feet Alright,
Through it sweet peace is giyen)
And after death a rich reward
Secure to you, in heaven.

esWe Have no Dinner.0

school one day, as she surveyed, with sad
countenance, her school-mates with their
large dinner baskets we'll stored with tartS,
doughnuts, and other nice things which
good scholars know so we'll how to prize at

soon learned 1Uby those five children were
without dinner. 1t was-Oh shame be
cause the rumseller had the price OF thelr
food Day and night sits the pale mother,
with weary hands and aching heart, plying
her needle to gain the means of sustenance
for herself and children, and to give to them
IAN education. And where is he, whose du-
ty this is; who vowed to love, support and
comfort her? Where, 0 where is he 60

tation of the sign thereof-where drunkards
are made, men poisoned, and souls damned,
where reigns the prince of darkness IN all
his fiendish majesty, and all that remains OF
him is there. That haggard form encloscS
the soul (if such being can be supposed to
possess one) which won that mothers girl
ish heart, and which she promised to love
and obey. But now how changed his
last sixpence has passed into the hands
Iof the poison vender he has severed
another thread of the web Of his mis-
cradle existence, and with maddened brain
he turns toward what was once his home,
and vents his demoniac fury on her who has
so patiently earned the scanty repa8t she
lplaces before him. Where is the Jewel once
enclosed in that casket? Gone-destroyed
by intemperance. Horrible beyond descrip-

dreadful the end, for we may add on the au

But is there no reward for the rumseller? :?
Yea, verify: he hath reward, one worthy
of the deed, and it shall be given to him be

bar of God he stands arraigned for the muir

the widow and orphan of the drunkard shall
rise as swift witnesses against him, none
will then envy him the avoe pronounced up

neighbor's lips No. He may enjoy his
reward unmolested by the envious, while his
requiem shall be sounded by the machinery
of his own workshop, the spirits Of the

one of our young townsmen, may be seen at
the jewelry store of Keyes & eager, "for a
few days only" 1t consists of an ordinary
.japanned server, painted white, bordcred
with various devices, and containing a
lengthy and bombastic inscription, two tin
coffee-pots, coverless, and with no connec-

teapot in the same predicament, and two
goblets about as elegant as gourds. The SER

will awaken any serious jealousy on the part
of those who may have been neglected.

MANUFACTURES OF NEGRoEs-Dr. Vanuse,
of Miss, says the Eutaw Whig, writes to
the West Alabamian that a DR.. Lioburgs
has discovered tincture or ointment, which,
if applied by certain rules, will in few
days change the fairest skin on earth to the
real African hue; and that the children OF
those thus blackened will be black or half
black, as was the case with their parents; and
all the soap and water in the world cannot
wash it off. The doctor also composed an
other wash, which makes the hair as kinkey
as that of the real African. The end Of it
all is-he can make negro. We think the
Southern States should purchase the patent
right of it.

The TranspIanted Flower.

BY STELLIE.
A flow'ret, beautiful and fair,
saw one summer day,
So fair, indeed, to gaze upon,
scarce believed it clay.
Nurtured with care, it grew awhile,
Embedded deep in love,
Till rough winds wrecked the fragile stem,
And then, it went above.
No sorrow marked its placid brow
Nor heaved its sinless breast;
And from the evil yet to come,
God took it home to rest.
/ saw it in its coffin laid,
And in its sunken eye
read the lesson all must learn
That we are born to die.
We placed within its little grave 81
The flowret kindly given;
1t gently budded here on earth,
'Tis blooming now in heaven.

DRY.-The Cleveland Herald says The
drought is making sad havoc among the
shade trees all over the city, many noble
elms are already leafess, and others are dy-
ing The fine naples too are thinning out,
and the borer has done, or is doing, the work
of death on nearly every locust. The native
oaks and chestnuts still live, but flourish
only in dust. Their former bright emerald
is mottled and turning to premature yellow
The earth is baked dry to an unprecedent-
ed depth. In digging cellars little or no
moisture is found at eight or nine feet. No
wonder the elms and naples wither and die.
In the adjacent country the drought is
quite as severe. In some localities cattle
have to be foddered as in mid winter, and
we have heard of farmers cutting down for
lest trees for the leaves and browse. Every
sign Of rain has failed, and now the signs
themselves. The sun rules the day uncloud-
led.
