Charles Heade in Private Life.

Charles Reade was in private life
amiable and loveable; nevertheless,
from his disregard OF Talleyrand's
maxim, Sart0m point de zele, he was
perpetually quarreling with friends.
Not even Walter Savage Lander could
have surpassed him in wrath and or
nate invective when he anathemized
any opponent of his pet crochets. He
forgot what he had said as soon as his
indignant fits were past, but those who
had been scorched by his fiery tongue
or despatched by his sarcastic pen
sometimes had more retentiVe memo
RES. In his intercourse with ladies he
had much OF that refined politeness and
old world gallantry which are CUSTOM
airy among foreigners, but less SO with
us; and yet the variability of his tenn
per would make him descend with
startling and amusing rapidity from
the lofty tone of Grandson to the not
very high style which distinguished the
differences Of Mr.. Chucks, the boatswain
in Peter Simple" Not that Mr.. Reade
ever INDUCED in exactly the same kind
of language that did Mr.. Chucks; but,
for instance, when he was on the stage
rehearsing one of his plays no actress
could for moment find grace for his
objurgatons if she did not without
word or look of dissent accept all the
commands lie issued as to her playing
and even as to her dress. With actors
he was quite as despotic, and this some-
times led to sharp wordy encounters,
in which, however, Charles Reade was
always Victor-in the first place be-
cause he was not the man to yield, and
in the next because his advice, in sum,
was as good as Hamlet's. But when
all has been said of Charles Reade, it
must be repeated that he worked to
honest purposes, and no memoir of him
would be complete if it did not recog-
nize the kindness of heart which was
the dominant trait of his character. He
was, in truth, so warm hearted, and
had such a rich Imagination to contrive
schemes which his benevolence suggest
ed, that most of his faults, literary or
personal-and these were venial ones
at the worst-came from wishing to do
too much good and struggling to do
that much too quickly.-L0nd0n Times,

Henry Clay's Good Humor.

Henry Clay was fond of the light
skirmish debates, in which his imper-
turable good humor frequently gave
him an advantage over his antagonists.
On one occasion, when he was replying
to a somewhat heated opponent, sud-
den Sqtal! c"ma up and ratified the
window curtains so rs TO produce a
considerable noise. The orator stop
ped short in the midst of his remarks
and inquired, aloud, what was the mat
ter; and then, as if diyining the cause
of the disturbances, he said: Storms
seem to he coming in upon us on all
sides. The observation, though triv-
ial as related, was highly amusing I'M
der the circumstances which gave rise
to it, and from the manner in which it
was uttered Mr.. Clay rarel Y failed to
rivct the attention of his audience, and
to reward it. His enunclation was
clear and melodious, and he expressed
strongly what he deeply felt. He was
not over-caulious in his choice of
phrases and epithets, when speaking of
The usurpations of the incumbent of
the presidential chair, or one of the
"lean and hungry parasites" who flat
tered and misled him. He was always
happy in his illustrations, and no ono
could tell good story with better Of
feet. Ben Perley Poore

The Farmers Content.

Bill Arp, in the Atlantic Constitution.
Farming is slow way to make
money, but then there is law of cons
pensation about everything in this life,
and farming has its blessings that other
pursuits do not have. He is the freest
man upon earth and the most inde>
pendent. He has more latitude and
longitude. He has a house in the
country with plenty of pure air, and
good water If he makes but little in
the field, he has no occasion to spend
but little. He can raise his own hogs,
sheep, cattle and chickens. His wood
costs him nothing, and the luxury Of
big-back logs and blazing fires in open
replaces all winter is something that
city people long for but cannot afford.
My farm cost me 1000. | have 100
acres of open land in good condition,
and it yields me on an average about
FIVE dollars an acre over all ex>
penses. Say nine per cent. upon the
investment. Well, that is mighty lit
tie, considering my own labor and SUI
pervision. I've seen the time when l
made five times as much without any
capital except my head But then we
have to keep a pair of horses to ride
around and they have to feed from the
farm.

largest church edi6ces in the country.
The interior of the building is finished
in wood, there being no plastered walls.
Sixty thousand shingles were made
from the tree after enough was taken
for the church. Another redwood
tree cut near Murphy's mill, in this
country, about ten years ago, furnished
shingles that required the constant la
Dor of two industrious men for two
years before the tree was used up.
