THE DICKENS DFFIcULTY.-A New York cor
resnnndent of the Boston AtLns and Bee sars.

The DICKENS DIFFICULTY.-A New York cor
respondent of the Boston Atlas and Bee says:
"The scandaous reports about Dickens and his
family have excited much attention here-but the
manly card of Mr.. Dickens, published in Household
Words, relieves him from the mputation of infdeli-
ty. was yesterday conversing with gentleman
well acquainted with the Dickens family, and he
attributes the difference between the novelist and
wife to diverse views they take in regard to the re-
ligious education of their daughters. Mr.. Dickens
is decided lattitudinaran in his views, and gener-
ally attends the Unitarian Church, while Mrs.
Dickens, an Edinburg lady, brought up in the
strcter doctrines of Presbyteranism, still clings to
the religious ideas inculcated in her youth and
naturally wishes her daughters brought up in the
same way. The fact of the daughters siding with
the father, merely shows that like most young peo
pie, they approve of those doctrines that offer more
freedom, and are generally more attractive in ap-
pearance at last. -
