Dickens was not ready writer. 1t
has been thought quite generally that
he was, but the testimony OF an amanu-
ensis who was with him long time con-
tradicts the general belief. The writing
of his novels was toilsome. He would
walk up and down the room for five or
ten minutes seeking to make progress,
but making none. Moreover when he
had dictated half dozen pages he was
likely to change it almost entirely. He
rarely wrought or dictated more than
two hours day, generally between 10
A, NJ. and ~ NJ. The most laborious part
of his work was the finishing of the nov
els. 1t was here that he laid himself
ont as it were. Often he would himself
take the pen in hand and eaborately
write word by word. Those who sup
pose novel writing to Dickens was pas
time-similar to reading of the same
are in error. These cost him much men
tai writhing by day and sleeplessness by
night. The completion OF a novel found
him thoroughly exhausted, and unable
for weeks TO do any literary work. scarce
ly the writing of letters. In the matter
of names for mis- characters he studied
street signs and directories, taking sylla,,
bles of different nomenclatures, and
making new, and frequently, odd COM
binations. The most laughable portions
of Dickens works were produced most
generally by the severest toll. Those IN 7,
which pathos abound-as in Little Nell
Emily, ETC., were penned or dictated
only after possessing himself of the emo
tions which work their moods and ut
terances. Dickens wrote better than he
knew, and felt all he wrote-for the
time. As man he was not at all repre-
sentative of the virtues he SO eloquently
ortrayed.-Erchdnge.

The Jewish cemetery lies not far from
the synagogue in the sweep made by
Kay street where it joins Touro. In the
quiet spot twelve Jewish families lie
buried, and as we stood beneath the trees
that spread protecting arms over the
graves, Longfellow's poem, written after
visit to this cemetery, came most WV.
idly to mind. One verse especially, as
we looked at the neatly kept fiower-beds,
the turf so soft and well cared for, the
buds that boomed above the dead, came
to our lips:
Gone are the living, but the dead remain
And not neglected, for the hand unseen,
Scattering its bounty like summer RAIN,
Still keeps their graves and memory green.
In the enclosure are two graves SO near
each other that as you stand by one youl
sbadow falls upon the other; within
\ them sleep two lovers, separated during
! life. but united long since by death
| Judah Touro and Catherine Hays were
cousins and among the Jews it Is a
crime for those so near OF kin TO marry
True to the religion and traditions OF
their race, they separated never 70 meet
again, although they lived to be old peo-
pie. Neither of them married, content
with the memory of their love and the
hearing of each others welfare from mu-
tual friends. They both died in Janu-
ary, 1854, when he was seventy-nine
years of age and Catharine was seventy
seven. His name was the last word she
uttered, and in his delirium before death
called him he talked of walking'ln
beautiful garden with Catharine Hayes,
his first and only love. Judah Tuoro,
however, did not let disappointment en-
bitter his life, for he spent it in active
benevolence, and from a fund left by him
the means are provided to keep the Gem
etery in order. 1t is told of him that he
built churches In New Orleans for all
sects, even contributing towards the erec'
ton of a Unitarian place of worship. On
his monument the following words are
cut: "The last of his name, he inscribed
it in the book of philanthropy to be re-
membered forever"

Not Worth 1t.

A citizen of Michigan who has some
thing of reputation for his infidel views
and arguments, happened to meet seven
or eight clergyman at a railroad station
as they were waiting to take the train to
attend a conference, and introducing
himself to one of them he said:
II want half an hours talk with the
smartest one of the crowd. Who is he p
"Well, Brother Whiteis is pretty smart,
was the reply.

GOOD-BY SWEETHEART

summer In lifetime-that was all:
Two hearts bound In dreamy silken thrali,
A breath OF roses, starlight dim and rare,
A girls white hand, a strand Of gilded hair.
A summer filled with perfume, and the song
or drowsy birds that Groom the whole night long
Dark eyes, red lips, low whispers faint and
sweet
Hushl now the summer dies there at your feet,-
All, well we change SO. as the years go by
Sometimes little thing, smile. sign,
Will round our whole life to different use
Will chain it faster, or will break 1t loose.
And you and have had our little day.
What matter II to one or both twas play!
The day was long, and glad and ripe with mlrtn-
There are not many days like that on earth.
And you are changed, and am not the same:
And, as the sweet day dies in purple 1ame'
We say "good-by," with lingering lips and
eyes
All mel life is SO filled with sad good-bys.
The twilight steals along with star and dew,
My Prince, your eyes are dusk with SHADOWS
too:
The day is dead now-dead the two must part

THE ORCHARD LANDS OF LONG AGO.

The orchard lands of long agol
D drowsy winds, ava Ike and blow
The snowy blossoms back to me,
And all the buds that used to bel
Blow back along the grassy ways
OF truant feet, and lift the haze
or happy summer from the trees
That trail their tresses in the seas
OF grain that floats and overflow.
The orchard lands Of long agol
Blow back the melody that slips
In lazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much II any kiss
Is sweeter than the apples is.
Blow back the twitter OF the birds
The LISP, the litter and the words
OF merriment that found the shrine
OF summer time glorious wine
That drenched the leaves that loved it 80,
In orchard lands of long ago
O memory alight and sing
Where plump and rosy pppins cling,
And golden russets glint and CLEAN
As in the old Arabian dream
The fruits Of that enchanted tree
The glad Aladdin robbed for me.
And, drowsy winds, awake and fan
NV blood as when it over ran
A heart ripe as the apples grow
In orchard lands of long ago!--lSelected.

Baker Pasha is not Turk but an En-
elishman. and it is stated, quondam friend
and companion of the Prince OF Wales.
He was ut one time distinguished Off
Ger of cavalry in the British army. but
having taken advantage of being alone
with young lady of his acquaintance
in a compartment of II ilroad carriage
to assault her, was sentenced to term
of imprisonment for this offence. Upon
his release he entered the service of the
Sultan of Turkey, and became favorlte
officer of his imperial majesty. He has
resigned his position as aid-de-camp to
the Sultan, and has promptly accepted
the task of recognizing the Egyptian
army, for which he is singulariy well
adapted. Valentine Baker, or Baker Pa
sha, is soldier as brilliant as capable.
His last appointment is significant of the
firm grip which England has of Oriental
affairs. There is interest in the mention
that the admiral-in-chief of the Turkish
navy, Hobart Pasha, is an Englishman,
son of the Duke of Buckingham.

ADVICE TO BOYS

Whatever you are, be brave, boys,
The liars coward and slave, boys,
Though clever at ruses
And sharp ut excuses,
He's sneaklng and pitiful knave, boys.

'Tis better than money or rank, boys;
Still cleave to the right,
Be lovers OF light,
Be open, above-board and frank, boys

The man gentle in mien,

But whatever you are, be true, boys,
Be visible through and through, boys;
Leave to others the shamlnlng,
The "skulking" and shaming,
In fun and in earnest be true, boys.
