tells US that he and other friends ra-
monstrated with him against the mn.
wisdom of the excitement and lahor of
these readings; but the money returns
argued on the other side. He cont1n-

nearly the end of his life, went to Amer

delphia. He cleared 100000 in this
expedition Before returning home he
had already settled with q London firm
OF specu!ato.s to give 100 readings
more IN England for fS,OOO net.
That Dickens Was a verv careful man
Will be evident to everyone. His omar
re!s with his publishers about money
made one of the least agreeable fea-
lures in his character. That he was
generous to his literary helpers we have
already said. The 100 readings began.
aud soon again began the distressing
bodily symptoms which had appeared
IN America, but which the rest of the
voyage home bad allayeL The doctors
at length peremptorily forbade the con-
tnnance OF the readings. He got bet
ter, then applied for leave to begin
again. and received permission for .
final twelve. provided there were no
railway travelling. We heard two Of
the last. one on which hs prided him
self more than any-the murder Of
Nancy by Sykes. He writes that the
effect was Tremendous" that "B. was so
terrified that he was dazed all the even
ing" and some were taken out fainting.
We can certainly say that there was no
such effect near us. Fagin was very
tine, Sykes was passable, Noah Clay
pole was fool, but not the supreme
sneak Of the story, and Nancy was in
tolerably STACY" We have seen her
better done at . country theater, and
all simply because, to give her individu-
ality, the reader had to rsvs and throw
herself about The came evening he
read Mrs. Camp" We expected much
fun out of this, but by the time it came
he was evidently exhausted, and it was
painful to watch him. He gave his last
reading on the 18th of March, 1870.
and followed it by . few graceful and
touching words from the platform of
heartfelt, greatfrl. respectful, affec-
tionate farewell" But the mischief
which had begun was now irreparable.
Fresh signs of ruined health followed
one upon the other, and on the Sth of
June he was seized with a fit, while
seated at dinner with his sister in law,
and died in twenty-four hours, without
the least return to consciousness.-

Why Kerosene Explodsa.

In the first place, kerosene never does

This gas, when mixed in certain proper.
