LEEcHs DEATH.

On Saturday afternoon, the 18th, 1
called at his house. No. 6, The Terrace,
Kensington, with a very elaborate draw
ing in pencil by myself, which pre-
scented to him as a souvenir, and with
which he seemed much pleased.
He was already working at the Punch
Almanac for '65, at q window on the
second floor overlooking the street. q
have often gazed up at it since) He
seemed very i'll, so sad and depressed
that 1 could scarcely speak to him for
sheer sympathy; felt he would never
get through the labor of that almanac,
and left him with the most melancholy
forebodings.
Monday morning the papers an
nounced his death on Sunday, October
29th, from angina pectoris, the very
morning after 1 had seen him. The
grave was near Thackeray's, who had
died the year before. There were
crowds of people, Charles Dickens
among them; Canon Hole, great friend
of Leech's and who has written most
affectionately about him, read the ser
vice; and when the coffin was lowered
into the grave, John Millais burst into
tears and loud sobs, setting an example
that was followed all round; we all for
got our manhood and cried like women
1 can recall no funeral in my time where
simple grief and affection have been so
openly and spontaneously displayed by
so many strangers as we'll as friends
not even in France, where people are
more demonstrative than here. No bu-
rial in Westminster Abbey that I have
ever seen ever gave such an impression
of universal honor, love, and regret
Whom the gods love die young" He
was only forty-siXt
I was then invited to join the Punch
staff and take Leech'S empty chair at
the weekly dinner-and hidden to cut
my initials on the table, by his: his
monogram as it was carved by him is
j. L. under leech in a bottle, dated
1854; and close by on the same board
are the initials w. M. r.

etrable oak, will go down to posterity

THE AMERICAN GIRL AND DoMEs.
TIC SERVICE.

No wonder the American girl who
goes out to service is as nearly extinct
as the buffalo! The American girl has
the disadvantage of brains. She sees
things clearly, directly, without refer
ehce to tradition or twaddle. She knows
that domestic service, although the best
PAID, IS the most undesirable work she
can undertake, because it brings with it
none of the human rewards that the bet
ter than money. Not one of the consid-
erations which inpel girls to choose
shop work, comes in to make her work
dignified and in conformity with the
laws of human nature AS things are
now, If l We're a worling-girl as I am
an American, l would never go out to
service; neverl never!l neverll.
And neither would you, if you were to
tell the honest truth.--By Helen Waiter
