1853 Mr.. Dickens amicably separated from
some twenty years, and had several chill
dren. The cause was uncongeniality OF
temper; Mrs Dickens survives her hus-
band. Mr.. Dickens has also acted success
fully in private theatricals, and has publ
cally read selections from his own works to
large and gratified audiences in England
and the United States. He visited this
country for that purpose in the latter part
of 1868, and, among other cities, visited
Baltimore and gave several readings III
Concordia Hall. Throughout the country
he was received most cordially, and his
readings were a brilliant professional as
well as pecuniary success. On this, his last
visit to the United States, he made the
amende honorable for the erroneous impress
sions of our country conveyed in his
"American Notes." upon his first visit, and
a complete reconciliation seems to have
been effected between him and his Gamer
lean COUSINS
The farewell press banquet given him in
New York before his return to England, in
the spring of 1869, was the occasion Of as
surances of mutual esteem and regard be-
tween our people and that great author,
who has always been peculiar favorite
here, because his genius was consecrated to
the cause of social reform, and the cham
pionship of the poor and defenseless classes
against injustice and oppression.
The London press have, generally,
INDUCED in fitting and most expressive
tributes to his great talents and worth
They evidently fittingly portray the senti-
ment of the English nation, and its sense
of the great loss sustained in the death of
Mr.. Dickens.

Tobacco Injuries the Voice.

An observer, who has been in the habit
of attentively noticing the qualities of the
human voice, cannot only detect the tobacco
user, but he can usually detect the precise
form in which he uses it. The cigar is
wont to render the voice rather weak, hus-
ky, and indistinct the guild gives it rough
and freg-like note, which often CRATES like
a harrow upon the ear whilst snuff, as all
know, imparts to it the "nasaz" twang SO
highly disagreeable.
DIR. Russell, who for forty years has been
a professor of oratory and cultivator of
the voice, says: "As to the effect of the
habitual use Of tobacco OH the quality and
and character of the voice, must say that
| know it to be injurious in proportion to
the extent to which it is used. Snutf-tak-
ing destroys the natural sound and the pure
ring of the healthy human utterance. 1t
deadens the voice, and by impairing it's
clear resonance mars the distinctiveness of
articulation. Smoking creates reedy,
burning sound, which hinders purity of
tone, and renders the voice more or less
grating to the ear. Chewing, by it's ex-
hausting effect on the salivary glands,
causes the quality of the voice to become
dry, hard, and bitter"
A good voice, it may seem superfuons to
say, is essential to the eloquent orator, and
to every preacher Of the gospel. Wesley
had voice clear and silvery, often heard
by tens of thousands Whitefield had a
voice which enabled him to roar like lion,
OF, in turn, enchant like a magician-the
rich qualities of which were never impaired
by this baneful narcotic.

are they made of, what are they set on, and
how much are they worth. If You have
any hollow teeth, what are they stuffed
with, and how many are stuffed with gold,
and how many with silver or other metal ?''
During the time that the census-taker
was asking these questions 1 thought
Thusy would bust. Her fingers worked
nervously around the broom handle, and
her azure eyes looked like liquid fire. Her
bosom swelled like the angry pillows of
the ocean, and, as she handed my head
chair few days before, when she looked
just this same way, l naturally supposed
that something would happen. But the
ways of women are inscrutable as general
thing, and she only turned her face,
the picture Of scern to the man, and asked
him if there wasn't anything else he could
ask.
The man said he had his duty to perform
and therefore would ask:
edo you wear chignon?"
This is tender spot for Thusy, because
she don't wear any, and has got lots of
hair of her own-natugal.
elf so, is it all your own? Is it made
of real hair, or wool, OF silk? If so, how

to be a virtue; that time has come, and by

father say, I'll split your head with this

here And by that she made dash at
him with the broom, knocking the cold
mackerel off the table, accompanied by the
ceffee-pot and sugar-bowl, as she passed;
and the census taker made tracks for the
door, with Thusy at his heels, asking him
if he had eyes enough to find his way to
the next place where they could give him
some senses.
There wasn't no breakfast for nobody
that morning.
