DICKENS EARLY LIFE.
How His Boyish Experience Told ON
His Character.

lOCOttlSn Review.
What manner of man Dickens was we can
perceive well enough from his books as well
as his letters. We all remember the passage
In which Lord Maceulay shows how John
sons privations affected his character and
manners all through his life. 1t Is certainly
no less true that the boylsh experiences of
Dickens told with wonderful force on his
character. His father was always in money
difficulties, and the son had a miserable time
Of it rs a child going to and fro to the pawn
brokers, hanging about the Marshal-sea and
Fleet, and tying up pots of b~lacking for O.. a
week. And all the while he never lost the
consciousness that he possessed great powers
and capabilities, and fortunately, or this con-
seriousness would nave been belied. He also
learned to throw himself eagerly into what
he was doing, that he might do it well. III
the backing days there was constant rivalry
between him and his companions who could
tie up pots quickest and finish them of most
neatly.
The result OF all which was that whom
Dickens overcame his difficulties and became
a prosperous man he never for a moment
doubted his own powers. He had expected
TO succeed, and he had succeeded. What
more was neededi And thus he grew more
and more self-concentrated, s~elf-confdent,
self-assertive. de was not q good scholar
like johnson or even Thackeray, never went
to public school, and certainly knew very
little of the Latin grammar. But as a sickly.
neglected child, he ha i loved to got away by
himself and nurse his imagination on Field
ing, and Smollett, and Lesage, and Shake
speare, and we might almost call this his
only early book education. His powers OF
memory and observation were altogether
astonishing; they were part of his habit. 1t
is hardly to be wondered at that he seemed
TO have something very like a conviction. of
his infallibility. All through his writings
you find him laying down the law on politics
and history and theology, without any sort
OF misgiving that possibly wider reading
might have modified his views It was a
heavy drawback to his character, and made
him Ito speak plainly arrogant
And closely akin to this is his overwhelm-
ing personal vanity. Always he seems cray
ing after praise. present and posthumous.
He tells Mr.. Forster to be sure and put so
and so into his biography. And, by the way,
it would have been wiser Of the biographer
to leave these little requests out and not To
have exhibited his subject duplicating man
kind for their "plaudits.p We could multiply
proofs OF this weakness which are within our
knowledge, but we gladly turn to n pleas
anter subject What kept him great, and
makes US regard his self-conceit as a flaw on
n fine character, was his generous heart
Throughout his lnbors he il ever seen anxious
to improve tho condition OF tho world and To
enlarge ones sympathies for the poor and

that his whole heart went with his denuncia.

Novelties in articles for the ~writing-table
are always in demand. Here is one that will
be new to many. The case is Of leather, or
silk, and on it is pasted a sheet of writing
paper, the right-hand corner of the front
page being turned back, just to show that it
is double, and to avoid the stiff look that is
ruinous to decorative work. Across the
paper, but rather to the left, an envelope is
thrown carelessly, face downward This
allows the seal to be visible; the postmark is
initiated with pen and ink On the paper
there is some writing, and on the top left
hand corner there is a bird and some foliage.
Altogetheri it is a clever idea which is worth
knowing, for It could be carried out in many
ways without the meaning OF the decoration
being lost sight of.

At a recent ongress Of hair-dresscrs which
took place In Paris the couture to which was
given the most praise, and which was
adopted as one of the modes for evening
wear, was executed by a noted hair-dresser
of Brussels. 1t was arranged high on the
head, and composed of long waved strands of
hair, tied in loose knots resembling the figure
eight, called hunters knots, the ends Of which
were laid in round, fat curls down the right
side OF the couture, the left sido being fin
ished with tho ornaments, which consisted of
a ponpon Of white marabout and aigrette of

n large knot was held in place by n silver
dagger studded with Rhine stones The front
hair, arranged in loose, round curls, falling
low on the forehead. This remarkably stylish
couture was powdered with silver.

Says Mrs. Nash to young wives in her
article. "After the Wedding" Learn early
to act quite independently. And when your
husband comes home Of an evening, let nc

Let your days cares be as q sealed book
This is not good advice for young husbands
to read Just why a husband should not take
q healthful interest in all those little domestic
tribulations that go to wear out his wife is
not very clear. Mrs. Nash's admonition ap-
pears predicated upon a presumption that a
husband should not be disturbed by house

And everything contributing to his rest and
comfort There is a good deal that is false
in this presumption. The husband should es-
TEEN it a pleasure to divide his wife's
troubles; he should be mauful enough to give
consolation as well as TO receive it. The
course advocated by Mrs. Nash would make
very selfish creatures of husbands.

PURE SOULS.

Philip B. Marston in Christian Advooats.1
Pure souls that watch above me from afar,
To whom, rs to the stars, | raise my eyes,
Draw me to your large skies,
Where God and quiet are.
Loves mouth is rose-red, and his voice Ia
sweet,
His feet are winged, his eyes are as clear
fire;
But 1 have no desire
To follow his winged feet
Friendships may change, or friends may pass
away,
And Fame's a bride that men soon weary of,
Since rest is not with Love.
No joy that is may stay.
But they whose lives are pure, whose hearts
are high,
Those shining spirits by the world un-
tanned,
May, at the end. unshamed.
Look on their days gone by.
o pure, strong souls, so s~tarlike, calm, and
bright,
II even / before the end might feel,
Through quiet pulses, steal
Your pureness, with purged sight,
1 might springs gracious work behold once
Might hear, as once l heard, long. long ago,
Great waters ebb and flow,
Might smell the rose of yore;
Might comprehend the winds and clouds
again,
The sanity, peaceful moonlight hallowing
all,
The scent Of leaves that fall,
The autumn's tender pain.
All, this, / fear, shall never chance to me,
And, though 1 cannot shape the life ]
would,
1t surely still Is good
To look where such lives be.
