Popular Lies.

The following stories are constantly reported
in the newspapers, and as often as once year
they find lodgment in one setting or another
throughout the country. 1t is time they were
set at rest:-
pecuniary difficulty; that he lives beyond his
means, and is obliged to go into chancery once
or twice a year. That he has made up with
Mrs. Dickens, and they now live together again.
Charles Dickens is not only in the yearly
receipt of very large sums, both from his books
and his readings, but he is one OF the best
means most judcously, while his benevolence
is nobly conspicuous. His wife has not come
back to him, but still lives in her own establish
ment in London, while his residence Is at
Rochester, thirty miles away from the city.
No. 2. That one of Mr.. LongfeloW's daughters
was born without arms; that she draws and
paints beautifully with her feet.
This error arose from a photograph which, by
a mistake in position, gave the impression OF
an armless child.
No. 8. That Samuel Rogers, the English poet,
kept million pound note framed and hung
up in his library.
This lie was started by an Englishman in
America, and was first printed III foolish
account of some London authors In book
called "Pen-and-Ink Sketches" The writer's
name was John koss Dix, who hOaXed the
public in various ways,
No. 4. That the lyrical poem beginning 81
am old and blind" was written by John Milton
The piece was written by lady of Philadel.
phla some years ago. who never pretended
Milton had anything TO do with it,
No. 5. That Hum boldt said OF Bayard Tay.
lor he had never met with traveller who had
gone over 80 much ground and seen so little.
This malicious aneCdOte was invented by an
envious lecturer in New YORK, who wished tt
