EVERY now and then within seizes the
public and takes possession of peoples
senses. though why or wherefore, it would
be hard to say; but when once it has got
a fair hold, it has to be humored until
it is worn out or supplanted by some
other novelty At the present moment
the name which predOminates everywhere
which is advertised in the papers, posted
on walls in bills in large block type,
stuck up in the windows of dry goods
stores, and herd in everybody's mouth,
is that of Dolly Warden, the sprightly, CO.
quettish heroine of Dickens historical
novel, Barnaby Rudge." But the novel
was written thirty years ago, and there
seems to be no apparent reason why the
London locksmith's pretty daughter
should all of sudden start out into pop
ularity greater than she enjoyed when
she was first introduced to the world
She was then made the subject of many a
picture, and the celebrated artist, Maclise,
at the suggestion and under the guidance
of his friend, Dickens, painted what may
be called portrait of her, if there can
be such thing as portrait of an imag-
mary character. 1t was, however, a real
iZatIon on canvas of the conception of
the author, and it has given to her the
bodily form and costume by which she will
henceforth be identified. Just as we

And looked completely beat.

But drawed his red bandanner out,
An wiped his weeping eyes.

A SPICY little anecdOte is related in an
exchange of a well-known Methodist
preacher, who has received the appella-
ton of "Camp-meeting John" This
eccentric divine lives in Maine, but be-
slows his services in various sections of
the country as occasion demands. As we
happen to know him personally, we can
assure our readers that the following in
cident is entirely Characteristic. A GER
tain presiding elder, who was noted for
being late at service, and seldom animat-
ed or brief, once kept a congregation
waiting long time, and then preached a
prosy sermon of unusual length on the
text, "Feed my lambs" He had not yet
finished, when "Camp-meeting John u
rose from his seat in the congregation
and said Brother, have had some ex-
perience in raising lambs myself, and /
have found the following rules absolutely
essential to successful lamb raising: First,
give them their food in season; second,
give them little at a time; and third,
give it to them warm" No better advice
could be given to a minister, though the
time and place of offering it might be
more appropriately chosen--Harper'
Weekly.
