To hear Joseph Jefferson talk of life,
and the things, places aud people he has
seen, is said To be better than reading a
good novel or a book oil travel. He
has a pleasant voice, gentle manner,

eye with his pencil and brush. He has
numbers OF pleasant songs with which
he accompanies himself ON the piano,
that are the delight of the children, as
well as grown-up people. The hearty
laughter Of the little folks at hearing
him sing Brother john and the
Three sailors OF Bristol City, is just as
much enjoyed bv himself as by them,
so genuinely fond is he OF Chlldren.-
