Charles Reade in Private Life.

Charles Reade was in private life
amiable and loveable; nevertheless,
from his disregard of Talleyrand's
maxim, surtout point de zete, he was
perpetually quarreling with friends.
Not even Walter Savage Landor 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 bcspattered by his sarcastic pen
sometimes had more retentive memo
RIGS. In his intercourse with ladies he
had much of that refined politeness aud
old world gallantry which are custom
ary among foreigners, but less SO with
us; and vet the variability Of his tenn
per would make him descend with
startling AMI 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 indulged in exactly the same Kind
of language that did Mr.. Chucks; but.
for instance, when he was ON the stage
rehearsing ono OF his plays no actress
could for moment nnd grace 1Of his
objurgations if she did not without
word or look of dissent accept all the
commands he issued as to her playing
and even rs to her dress. With actors
he was quite as despotic and this some
times led to sharp wordy encounters,
ia 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 rich imagination to contriye
schemes which his benevolencc suggest
ed, that most of his faults, literary Oh
personal-and these were venial ones
at the worst-came from wishing to dc
too much good and struggling to dc
that much too quickly.-L0ndon Times

Why He Went to the Circus.


There was circus in the city the
other day and old man Primus, who had
braved the blasts of seventy winters,
took front seat at the performance.
A young acquaintance, who came in
and took a scat beside the old man, ex-
claimed:
''Why, Mr.. Primus! am surprised
to see as old man as you at q circus
performancer'
Il always come," said the old man
quietly. II care nothing for the gen.
eral performance, but come to hear
the clowns"
so you come to laugh at the jokes?"
"0h, no! don't laugh at them any
more" replied the septuagenarian.
''but | enjoy the jokes because they re-
viye old memories, and carry me back
to my childhood days when / used to
sit on my grandfather knees and hear
him tell them as they were told by the
clowns when he was a boy Ctatta-
