DICKENS BEFORE AN AUDmNCE.-An
American in London writes to the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser:
Our visit to a place of entertainment
was to st. Martins Hall, to. hear Mr.
Charles Dickens read his Christmas
Carol. This is recent movement Of
Dickens, and has been quite success
full The hall was filled with tho best
society Of London and the author
reader was well received. He is a little
below the medium size, and his appear
auoe at first disaPpoints you. He was
dressed in q plain dress, without any
effort at display; came upon the stage
in a simple, business-like way, receiving
the refined aud daiuty applause Of the
audience with a slight aoknowledg-
mont. His reading was good and etfec-
tive, without attempt at high elooution,
aud to those who were familiar with the
beautiful story, was in the highest de-
gree interesting. Dickens is now in the
prime of life, an active, well-built man,
looking more like a shrewd business
man of the world than the exclusive
literary man we have always considered
him.
"Here's Webster on a bridge" said
Mrs. Partington, as she handed Ike
the Dictionary, "study it coutentivelyt
and you will gain a great deal Of In
dammation."

Arthur NJ was a bright little boy
Of ten years, and his pleasant face and
cheerful spirit seemed like ray Of heay-

sorry to say Arthur was not loved by
his companions. He was a practical
Joker, and his little friends were in con-
slant fear, when in his company, Of hav-
ing some very unpleasant trick played
upon them. If they went to gather
berries, he did love to kill a snake and
throw it around some boys neck, just
for the fun of hearing him scream
When they went to bathe, they often
found a frog in their pockets, or their
shoes would be filed with angle worms;
and he was sometimes so cruel as to
take away a boys dinner and Gil his
basket with stones.
These things were very annoying, and
at length Arthur was left 20 play alone,
or 90 home to his little sister. Dear
| little Eliza was just beginning TO 60 TO
school, and Arthur loved her very much,
But his love Of fun, as he called it, was
sometimes sostrong, he would even over
turn his sled, and throw his sweet little
sister into the snow. His mother strove
lin vain to correct this cruel propensity,

The fact is indisputable. Blackwood
