Hans Andersen,s characteristics.

A writer in the London Academy says:
In character Andersen was one of the
most blameless of human creatures. A
certain irritability of manner that almost
amounted to petulance in his earlier days,
and which doubtless arose from the suffer-
ing of his childhood, became mellowed
as years went on into something like the
sensitive and pathetic sweetness of a
dumb animal There was something in
his whole appearance that claimed for
him immunity from the rough ways of
the world, a chifd-like trustfulness,
tremulous and confiding affectiOnatenesS
that appealed directly to the sympathy
OF those arounde His personal appear
ance was somewhat ungainly, tall body
with arms Of very unusual length, and
features that recalled, at first instance,
the usual blunt type of the hlue--eyed,
yellOw-haired Danish peasant. But it
was impossible to hold this impression
after mnmept's observation. The eyes,
somewhat deeplyeset in under arching
eyebrows, were full of mysterious and
changing expression, and kind of exal
tatiOn, which never left the face entirely,
though fading at times into reyerie, gave
a singular charm to a countenance that
had no pretensiOn toward beauty. The
innocence and delicacy, like the pure,
frank look of girl-child, that beamed
from Andersen's face, gave it unique
character, hardly to be expressed in
words; Notwithstanding his native shrewd
ness, he seemed to have gone through the
world not only undefiled but actually
ignorant of its shadow-side.
The one least pleasing side of his char
acter was his singular self-absOrptiOn. 1t
was impossible to be many minutes in his
company without his referring in the
naivest way to his own greatness. The
Queen of TimbuctOo had sent him this
the Pacha of Many Tales had given him
such an order; such a little boy in the
street had said: "There goes the great
Hans Andersen" These "reminiscences
were incessant, and it was all the same to |
him whether little boy or a great queen |
noticed him, so long as he was noticed. |
This intense craving for perpetual lauda- |
ton, no matter from whom, was an |
idiosyncrasy in Andersen's character, not |
to be confOunded with mere vulgar van
ity. 1t was a strange and morbid char |
acteristic to be traced no doubt to the |
distressing hardships of his boyhood. 1t |
was harmless and guileless, but it was
none the less fatiguing, and it was so
strongly developed that no biographical
sketch of him can be considered fair that
does not allude to it. During his life
time it would have been inhuman to vex
his pure spirit by dwelling on weakness
that was entirely beyond his control, but
it was only just to his own countrymen,
who have been so harshly blamed for
their want of sympathy with him, to
the fact which made Andersen's
constant companionship a thing almost
In a small community like
that of Copenhagen little personal
popularity of this kind is not so easily
passed over as in a wider circle.

How to Make Marriage Beautiful,

In the first place, let people defer to
the laws of health, of sanity, hereditary
sOundness; let them obey restrictions,
consult wholesome seasons, respect the
limits set up by the common sense of
nature. Natural ignorance on these
points is filling marriage with unnecces-
sary evils; they not only spoil the well
being of a family, but spoil its dispOsi-
ton. Let the work in every house be
reduced, by a reduction of its ambitions,
till all its parlOrs, all its tables, all its
clothes, exactly represent the current
condition of every family; not bracket
or ribbon for exaggeratiOn, not a single
room for parade, neither sewing, washing,
eating, securing, company-giving beyond
actual needs, and all done by the least
elaborate methods Then, in the second
place, reduce to the lowest possible point
the disturbances which arise from ignOr-
ance and vanity, from artificial training;
you simply liberate marriage for more
effective discharge of its spiritual pur-
pose. The men and women might
suspect that they were ill-mated till life
itself pronounced the banns. Teach
children that marriage only prOlOngs
their school hours into the future or
sterner discipline and less perishable
attainments. Warn them against those
affectionate extravagances which under
mine respect, against the physical errors
which so sap the will that it is humbled
and enslaved by annoyances which health
and freshness laugh at. And teach them
simplicity, make vulgar habits and ambi-
tions appear odious to them, ply their
IMAGINATION with austere and noble forms,
tempt them to fall in love first with
spiritual beauty, whose service makes
them free, then they will be better pre-
pared to discover that marriage withholds
felicity until it has been earned.

Keeping a Farm Journal.

No doubt there are many farmers who
commence business with a determination
to keep daily record of their operations
on the farm, and the result of them.
This resolve is carried into execution for
a time but after awhile intermisions in
these iottings occur, and finally cease
altogether. This delinquency does not
prove that the practice is not good one;
and as an incentive to perseverance, we
would cite a case of man who COM
menced farm life bare handed, but event
ually attained great wealth-a result he
attributed in great measure to a daily
iournalizing of his farming operations-a
practice kept up for forty-five years, and
not then discontinued.
These daily memoranda were made in
books of convenient size, each Containing
the records of single year, and when
full properly labeled and filed away for
future reference when desirable. They
contained the number of fields farmed
each year, the character of the crop, the
estimated or actual yield, and amount of
labor bestowed, the names of the parties

Stage Readiness.

The London Echo gives the following
anecdote from a foreign contemporary
Colbert. the French actor, whose special
10y was the impersonatiOn of Napoleon l..
was troubled with an infirmity of mem.
ory, in consequence of which all letters
handed to him to be read on the stage
had really to contain the words he was
to deliver. In some military piece OF
other the emperor had to receive a letter
from his adiutant and read it aloud to his
assembled officers. A certain Gautier, the
wag of the theater, acted the adiutant,
and one evening, instead of giving Go
bert the written letter, he handed him
blank sheet of paper. The actor took
1t, and, perceiving the trick that had
been played upon him, returned the mis-
sive to Gautier, saying with perfect grav-
lty: Read 1t yourself, general" Gautier,
who did not know word of the part and
was taken too much aback to extern
porize, could not extricate himself from
the position, before the public had dis
covered his discontinue. Gobert's read
iness was, indeed almost as remarkable
as that of a less celebrated actor, whose
forte was the part of Richard III. At
the approach of one of his best points a
hostile clique induced the supers to ac-
cost the tragedian with: "My lord, we
have taken buckingham aud cut off his
head" otis WE'LL" he replied, chad it
not been so | should have said, off with
his he ad, SO much for Buckingham +"
thus getting in his great effect after all
