Charles Dickens-.-kEOw he WAS q Man Of
Genius and had Not the Manners OF
u Gentleman.
Conclusion of the Review Of Forstcr's first volume
in the London Times.
We have now faithfully followed Mr.,
Forster through his first volume. We have
seen Charles Dickens, born of needy though
respectable parents, precocious, puny boy,
ill-taught, ill-fed, ill-cared for. We have be-
held him, as the family affairs went from bad
to worse, sinking into domestic drudge,
DEGRADED by the straits and erelesspess of
his father to the position of a warehouse boy,
hut coming out of his trials with con-
seriousness scared and scathed indeed, but
with a conscience innocent of offence. On
the ill-eilects of this period Of trial we are
inclined to think Mr. Forster has laid too
much stress. Dickens was the better for it.
After that we see him placed at one poor
school, tr0nsplanted to- another very Little
better transformed into an idle attorneys
the prrDose of his life, which at nineteen,
portery Gallery Of the House of Commons.
Then, all at once diyining where his strength
lay, he appears throwing himself with all the
energy Of his nature into now style OF
humorous fiction never rising to sketch the
highest ranks of the community except Ill
ideal portraits, which were almost always 80
mistaken as to be ridiculous, but deiigltlnS
rather In depicting the virtues and vices, tie
humors and the amusements of that lower
class, which, whether in middle or in humble
life. form the backbone Of English life. We
forgive him for failing in the former point

Old Maids.

Old maids are found in clusters N quiet
country towns; they are, as rule, 10th
genial and sociable beings, who give plea
SAINT parties when they are rich, and are
invited to parties, which they make plea
SAINT, when they are poor--who spend
weeks at n time, sometimes even months,
in other peoples houses, yet save them
selves from the reproach of being parasites
by rendering services which are far more
than the equivalent OF the little they con-
sumo for their bodily sustenance ana the
room they occupy in the mansion. old
maids keep house for brothers who arc
widowers or married sisters who are ill.
In short, nature seems TO have intended
them 10 be licutenants, not having very
much 10 do on their own account, but
placed by the very fact Of their leisure n
a position to render great services ON occa-
sions when their help may be required.
1t is not hereby intended 70 recommend
too much, or the result would be fatal ~
the continuation of the article.
