Dickens Advice to His Son.

IT, I
LIVERPOOL, Thursday Oct. Is, 1868.
MYsDEAR HARRY: Ihave your letter
here this morning. I inclose you an
other check for eos, and T write to
London by this post ordering three
dozen sherry, two dozen port, and three
dozen light claret to be sent down to
you. $50
Now, observe attentively. We must
have no shadow of debt. Square up
everything whatsoever that it has been
necessaryto buy. Let not farthing
be outstanding on any account when
we begin together with your allowance.
Be particular in the minutest detail.
Il wish to- have no secrets from you in
the relations We are about to establish
together, and I therefore send you Joe
Chitty's letter bodily. Reading it, you
will know exactly what know, and will
understand that I treat you with per-
feet confidence. It appears to me that
an allowance of e25O year will be
handsome for all your wants, if I send
you your wines. mean this conclude
your tailor's bills as we'll as every other
expense, and strongly recommend you
to buy nothing but the clothes with
which your tailor provides you. As
soon as you have got your furniture &C.
counts in, let us wipe all those prelimi-
nary expenses clean out, and will then
send you your first quarter. We will
count in it October, November and
December, and your second quarter will
begin with the new year. If you dis
Like at first taking charge of so large q
sum as 962 40s, you can have your
money from me half-quarterly.
You know how hard I work for what
l get, and think you know that I never
had money-help from any human Great
ure after Twas child. You know that
you are one Of many heavy charges on
me, and that I trust to your so exercis-
ing your abilities and improving the ad-
yantages of your past expensive educa-
ton as soon to diminish this charge. 7
say no more on that head.
Whatever you do, above all other
things keep out of debt and confide in
me. If you ever find yourself on the
verge of any perplexity or difficulty
come to me. You will never find me
AAesAeA "AVAA JOu UAAAO yOu dI0 u4dllJ duu
truthful.
As your brothers have gone away one
by one, I have written to each of them
what I am now going to write to you.
You know that you have never been
hampered with religious forms of re-
straint, and that with mere unmeaning
forms have no sympathy. But most
strongly and afectionately impress upon
you the priceless value of the New Testa-
ment, and the study of that book as the
one unfailing guide in life. Deeply re-
speeding it, and bowling down before
the character of our Savior as separated
from the vain constructions and inven-
tons of men, You cannot go very wrong,
and will always preserve at heart true
spirit OF veneration and humility. SINH
larly I impress upon you the habit of
saying Christian prayer every night
and morning. These things have stood
by me all through my life, and remem-
Der that I tried to render the New Tes-
lament Ineligible to you, and lovable
by you when you were a mere baby.
And so God bless you.
Ever your affectionate Father.

Modern Lette:.Writing.

Letter-writing has become one of the
characteristic occupations of our time.
We keepup multiplied correspondence
with people whom We know and like in
very various degrees, just as we also
possess photographs of people whose
lives have cut accidentally across our
own, but whom we may never meet
again. How different from the more
concentrated life of three or four gen.
erations ago, when letter and por-
trait were solemn things, both connect
ed only with persons really interested
in one another. Women, especially,
treat their correspondence as all affair
of state, magnify its idleness into press
ing business, make it pretext almost
as universally available as the old-fash-
toned Headache" and end by believing
themselves as important as Cabinet Min
listers. A man in any public posi-
ton is generally assailed with let
tiers, many utterly frivolous; editors
have protected themselves only by the
avowed use of the waste-basket; but
even in the quietest walks of private
life the letter-writing which Affection
ate friends expect from one is frequent
~ severe and unavoidable ordeal.
Business letters can be dispatched in
five minutes; great interests and i'm
portant transactions can be compressed
into half a dozen lines and a few mo-
ments of time; but when it comes to the
friendly letter, which politeness re-
quires you to write, you look hopelessly
round, with the conviction that yon will
be dubbed heartless unless you devote
at least three-quarters of an hour to de-
failing the state of your health, your
trivial occupations, the last book you
read, the last local news you heard, the
state of the weather, etc. We have
forged an additional social chain in
thus gradually making correspondence
q necessary part of our ife.-Atlantic
Monthly.
