"King Charles" and the Memorial" is
very solicltous concerning Copperteld's
health.
The many yicissitudes in the life OF Mr..
Wilkins Micawber, VINO lived always hop
ing that something might turn mp, ana

happily brought TO a close when lac ex-
posed the schemes of the humble" and
avsricious Keep, whose greed and
cunning outserved him in his transac-
tons with Mr.. Wickfeld.
The departure of the emigrants for
Australia severed many ties OF friendship
and affection and relieved Emily, who
now lavished ali her love and affection on
the dear uncle who had never abandoned
her, even when she had left his roof with
30 little thought of the great wrong she
was committing. In that new country
she saw refuge from the oppression of
the uncharitsble. and in her new and
changed life in Australia she found balm
Tor all the hearts rue she suffered in old
7 England. Her name and loving works in
| the far away homo were the means Of
soothing many weary and caro-worn
hearts, and BY her deeds of charity and
kindness she retriyed the grievous error
| of her youth.
And how we'll might Copperfield ex-
claim, blind, blind, blind when he
awakened to the knowledge that Agnes,
| the good and true, occupied dearer place
in his heart than that of sister. We are
acquainted with his resolve to win her
! love, if possible. the love which all the
/ wears OF their acquaintance had been mod
| estly concealed, but which now was freely
| owned when he made known his thoughts
/ and anxieties, his love and fears.

the portrayal OF the human feelings 90
true to mankind, the simple incidents SC
interestingly related, all these place the
reader in a position to mora fully enter
into sympathy with the author, and To
see beyond the printed page the authors
purpose. Dickens endesvOrs to furnish {
pure and wholesome standard by which tC
Judge good and evil, and many of hi
works have a moral purpose and aim Il

that time.
That he succeeded in portraying then
so faithfully and in such n light that tn,
reforms were soon brought about, speak
we'll for his works. Their value is thu
double enhanced when we think OF tn
work they helped to accomplish.
David Copperfeld contains much tina
