CHARLES Dickens was very little and .
vary dckly boy, but he had always the be.
lief that his circumstsnce had brought to
him the inestimable advantage Of having
GREATLY inclined him to reading. When
nonev troubles came upon his parents, the
moor little fellow was taken away from
school and kept for some time at an occu-
nafion most dlstasteful to him, with every
surrounding that ceuld jar on sensitive aud
refined feelings. But the great hardship,
and the one which he felt most acutely, was
the want of the companionship of boys OF
his own age. A few years later on We read
In apr. Forster's Life . schoolfellow's de-
ecYiption of Charles Dickens: "A healthy
LOOKING boy, small bat well built, with,a
moro than usual dow Of spirits, incliuing to
harmless fun, seldom or never, think. to

erect than lads ordinarily do and there was
general smartness about him." This Is also
have never heard him refer In
snv vav to his own childish days, except
ips in one instance, when he would tell the
story of how, when he lived In Chatham, he
and his father often passed Gad's Hill in
their WALKS. and what an admiration he
had for the red brick house with its beauti-
ful old cedar trees, and how IL seemed to
him to be larger and inner than any other
houss: and how his father would tell him
that IL he were to be very persevering and
