DICKENS.
His Early DAYS.

Mr.. Dickens parents were far from rich,
and in his younger days, he was reckless
in his personal expenditures, and appa-
rently unstable in his character While
writing sketches for the Morning Chroni-
| Gle, he fancied himself enamored of n Miss
Emma Floyd. He was very persistent in
his addresses.
This went on for some time until Miss
Emma Floyd, alarmed by the reports of
her lovers unsteadiness, cast him off, and
Dickens, in despair, as was said, resorted
to wild life for time. There is a singu-
lar story told ola mistake he made under
these circumstances Returning home
from the "Elmsn in the evening, he met II
young lady closely vailed, about Emma's
hight, and resembling her in gaitand gem
eral appearance. In most agitated man
ner he at once made fervent declaration
of love- renewed his protests of undying
attachment and begged forgiveness for
all his errors in the past. The young
lady happened to be the daughter of the
rector OF the parish, and, therefore, of
course, slightly acquainted with the young
author. His appeal was so eloquent, and
his sincerity 50 manifest, that Miss Rs
heart was touched, and she promised
to speak to her father. The next morning
Charles Dickens received Il letter from the
reverned rector, expressing his surprise at
so sudden declaration to his daughter af-
ter so slight an acquaintance ;but, as he re-
cognized his ability, so he would accept his
vows of amendment and if both parties
remained in the same frame of mind for two
years and the gentleman could show any
prospect of maintaining wife, he would
not object to their union. This singular
double engagement capped the climax of
his social difficulties in his native village,
and, within fortnight of the unexpected
rencounter, he removed to London and en-
tered upon the labor of his life.
When DIR. Black, the then editor of the
Morning Chronicle, proposed to engage him
as reporter in the police courts, Dickens
was reduced almost to the last eXtremities.
He lived in "a small garnet room in Wych
street he was indebted to his landlady for
nearly Il months rent. His watch was in
the hands of - his mcle''-a gentleman
with three golden balls round the corner
and his stock of linen was more like that
of French refugee of 1852 than than of a
prosperous young journalist. Having OBJ
tanned II situation upon the paper, and
finding his own proper literary work re-
muneratVe, Mr.. Dickens appeared another
being. He was all energy, and his YER
satile powers rapidly made themselves con-
spicuous-so much sosindeed, that he was
not yet Internationally when engaged to
write the Pickwick Papers. Chapter by

FARM AND HOME.
How to Raise Currants.

There is no difficulty in raising currants
in clay soil if you trench deeply getting
the ground mellow and having it pretty
rich. Prune the bushes so as to let the sun
and air have full scope. After the useless
wood is removed, the best way is to keep
back the sprouts by thumb and finger.
Cultivate the soil, and mulch with some
vegetable fertilizer, such as chip manure,
leaves, garden weeds, grass, &c. The red
Dutch is the best variety among the red,
the white grape among the white currents.
But yearly attention is necessary to good
annual crops. For the currant worm helle-
bore IL q sure cure. Dust bushes with il in
the morning. One busting will answer for
several weeks in dry weather.

Early breakfast.

A bad custom is prevalent i'll many fami-
lies, especially among farmers, of working
an hour or two before breakfast, attending
to chores" hoeing in the garden, cutting
wood, moving, etc. This is convenient on
many accounts, but it is not conductive to
health. The prevalent opinion is that the
morning air is the purest and most health
full and bracing, but the contrary is the
fact. At no hour the day is the air more
filed with dampness, iogs and miasmas
than about sunrise. The heat of the sun
gradually dissipates the miasmatic influ-
ences as the day advances. An early meal
braces up the system againts the external
influences. Every one knows the languor
and faintness often experienced for the
first hour in the morning, and that is in
creased by want of food. We do not agree
with the boarding-schOol regime, which
precribes a long walk before breakfast as a
means of promoting health.
Probably the best custom would be to
furnish every member of the household,
especially those who labor out of doors, with
a single cup of warm coffee well MIXED,
Immediately after rising from bed. Then
let them attend to their chores, or moving,
hOeing, etc, for an hour or two, while the
teams are feeding and the breakfast prepar-
ing. They will feel better and do more

Growing Tomatoes,

One would suppose that at this late day
we know pretty much all about cultivating
the tomatoes, but it seems that we do not
inasmuch as we daily see recommendations
as to the best mode of getting the most
fruit, from all quarters, even from persons
that one would suppose had flight little
higher than specializing in tomato seed, and
undertaking, fancy men as they are, to tell
us old practical cultivators how to raise
them. Some people trail the vines over
elaborate trestle work or frames, at no lit
tie expenses. Others trellis them. Others
stick them with brushes about the size or Il
little larger then that used for peas. Others
simply thrOwbrush down for them to run
over and others allow the vines to creep
over the ground without any support, only
previously mulching the ground with
grass or straw.
We have tried every mode here mention
ed, and we have found that whether the
plants are stuck, brushed, trellised frame
worked, or allowed to run unsuppport ed
over the ground, the yield is about the
same. We prefer the sticking process. 1t
produces full as great a crop as any other
made, with only half the trouble and eN-
penses and looks more picturesque and
not so artificial as the trellises and frames
and if the brush i firmly inserted in the
ground it admits of passing between the
rows to pick the fruit.
When the vines are allowed TO run over
the ground unsupported, much a the
ground may be mulched, the flavor of the
tomato is more or less extracted by the nat
ural attraction of the soil, by which tn,
fruit is rendered almost worthless; besides
the vines are all in a mass, and to get a
the fruit is inconvenient to the picker ant

TO MAKE CUTTINGS GRoW.-lt has been
ascertained that cutting will develop roots
much sooner in moist sand than in rich
soil. But the sand cannot maintain it,
growth for any length of time. TO pre-
pare pots for raising cuttings they should
be filled nearly to the brim with rich gar
den loam-dark and porous, not claycy and
sOggy then pour in one inch in depth of
securing sand--sea sand will do IL we'll rs
the yellow sand. Wet this thoroughly and
place the cuttings from which all but the
three or four upper leaves have been re-
moved close to the side of the pot the con-
tact of the ware against the stem ofthe cut
ting promotes its growth. Press the wet
sand firmly around the tiny stem. 4 great
deal of your chance for success in raising
slips or cuttings depends upon this.
Plant as many cuttings as the pot will
hold, from six to a dozen, according to the
size of your pot, when they are firmly set
in the sand, two or three can be inserted
in the middle of the pot. Set them away
in dark warm place for twenty-four or
thirty-six hours. Thus, cuttings will grow
Quickly in hot-bed, because the tempera-
ture is not dry. Their growth depends Il
great deal upon light, heat and moisture.
If q bud is close at the base of cutting, il
will strike root more casily-is not so apt
TO decay. The roots shoot, from bud, and
the lower down it is the surer your success.
When the leaves drop, the plant il com
mencing to grow; ifthey wither on the stem
it has begun to decay. By following these
directions, no one can fail to grow all kinds
of house plants. Roses and ala the rarest
flowers of the greenhouses are progagated
in this manner.-NeW England Farmer.
