business in Cincinnati, became enamored
of beautiful and amiable girl-the

A few weeks ago he was at Folsom

a richly dressed lady whom he thought

THE DICKENS SCANDAL.

The London Ioscn Talk thus discus,
ses this subject: t2 a zd ~
ID the literary world very little is
string except the gossip on the domestic
affairs of Charles Dickens. Probably
his explanatory letter. published q
month ago, and full Of mysterious allu-
sions, has excited as much curiosity in
America as here. The facts dimly allu-
ded to are these: About twenty-five years
ago, Mr.. Dickens, then clerk, married
pretty and amiable young girl, (whose
parents opposed the match, as far be-
meath her, and took her home to obscure
lodgings in FarnivaPs Inn.
For some years they lived happily
together; but Mr.. Dickens having be-
come great man, aattered and courted,
finds that his domestic felicity is not SO
great as could be desired Two or three
years ago he gave dinner to his literary
friends on the anniversary of his wedding
day. and in proposing the health Of his
wife, stated that he had never seen a
shadow of i'll temper over her in his life.
This equality of disposition does no
satisfy him. She is not intellectual =
He reads his works to her and she, alb.
sorbed in needlework, inquiries abstracts
edly what he meant by some of his mos
brilliant passages.
In short, she is not companion to-
him, so the brilliant novelist aud actor
separates on the ground of s'incompati
bility" for her whom he vowed before
God to love and cherish, and from hcnse
forth their lives have separate ends

that he was somewhat tired but not
sleepy. In word, from this day they
parted in the morning instead of mid
night, because they we're then both
ready to breakfast together.
The count, enchanted with his new
conquest, eloped with Amelia into the
country, where they, with astonishment,
discovered that the theater of nature
and the concert of the nightiugales
surpassed all other theatres and concerts
They at first thought of staying only
few days-every morning they intended
to odepart, and every evening they changed
their intentions. When autump, how

Vienna. The same evening they went
to the play, and our he: o had the cour-

4 SKETCH FROM THE FRENCH; g.
There lived In Vienna a young man
of rank and fortune, who bore strong
resemblance to many other men of that
aud every city, for he was the dupe to
all the follies of fashion and high life.
He combined flexible heart with
handsome person; it had coat his mother
a great deai of trouble to make him
what is called a puPpH;. but by inde-
tfatigable diligence she Eadat last effec-
ed her purpose. All the ladies, con
sequently, loved him, aad he loved them
all in return. Il has been said that
once or twice his attachment had even
been of more than one month IS duration,
but never did he impose any copstraint
upon himself or the obj:ct of his affec-
tion, by an irksome fidelity. He pos
sessed the incest powers of perception
whenever any word or look Summoned
him to victory but he always had the
good manners to pay every attention to
the clock, when it announced the hour
of parting.
With these qualifications, he was
certain of success with the ladies. He
paid his devoirs to all, enjoyed all, and
was at last tired of all. In one of his
moments of torpid safety, our hero had
returned home before supper. Happy is
he feels who the time less ppressive when
at home--he belongs to the better kind
of men. Our young count threw him
self upon the sofa, stretched his limbs,
yawned, &c. Suddenly it occurred to
him that he was married. No wcnder
that we should have forgotten it, since
he himself only just now recoilecsed it.
'Appropos, said he. and rung the bell
"a servant entered. @
Go to your mistress and ask if I may
have the pleasure of seeing her, So
The servant listened attentively, not
believing the testimony of his own ears.

his head as he went. The countess was

THE OLD DBURYING-GRoUND.

THE OLD BURYING-GROUNE
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Our wales are sweet with fern and rose,
Our hills are maple, crowned; " .
But not from them our fathers chose %
The village burying-ground. -
The dreariest spot in all the land q
To Death they set apart;
With scanty grecesfron -RFatare,s hand,
And none from that of Art. as
A winding wall Of messy stone,
Frost flung and broken lines,
A lonesome acre thinly grown
With grass and wandering vines.
Without the wall birch-tr shows
Its drooPed and tasselled head
Within a stag horned sumach grows
Fern-leafed with spikes of red.
There, sheep that grazed the neigh boring plain
Like white ghosts como and go,
The farm horse drags his fetlock chain.
The COW bell tinkles slow.
Low means the river from its bed.
The distant pines reply
Like mourners shrinking from the dead,
They stand apart and sigh.
Unshaded smites the summer sun,
Unchecked the winter blast;
The school girl learns the place to shun,
With glances backward cast.
For thus our fathers testified
That he might read who ran
The emptiness of human pride,
The nothingness of man.
They dared not plant the grave with flowers,
Nor dress the funeral sod,
Where, with love as deep as ours,
They left their dead with God.
The hard and thorny path they kept;
From beauty turned aside;
Nor missed they ever those who slept
The grace tolife denied.
Yet still the wilding flowers would blow.
The golden leaves would fall.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
And God be good to all.
Above..the grave the blackberry hung
In bloom and green its wreath,
And harebells swung as if they rung
The chimes of peace beneath.
The beauty Nature loves to share, -s-.s.
The gifts she hath for all,
The common light. the common air, 81
