UnhapDy Dickens.


Dickens had to confess. after a Sc
we're trial of married life, that the skel.
eton In his domestic closet was becom-
Ing "a pretty big one" Then, In 1887,
came the crisis.
Poor Catherine and | are not made
for each other" he wrote in letter to
Forster, "and there is no help for ii.
She is exactly what you know in the
way Of being amiable and complying,
but we are strangely Ill assorted for
the bond that is between us. God
knows She would have been a thousand
times happier if she had married an
other kind Of man, and her avoid
ance of this destiny would have been
at least equally good for us both. The
years have not made ii easier to bear
for either Of us. There is plenty of
fault on my side, dare say, in the
way of thousand uncertainties. ca-
prices and difficulties of disposition,
but only one thing will alter all that,
and that is the end which alters every.
thing"

where silence Is Golden.

This story is illustrative Of the abso-
lutte silence and loneliness of the typ
ical Australian bush camp:
Two men were camping together, but
rarely exchanged a word.
One morning one Of the men remark
ed at breakfast, Heard a COW below
In the swamp just now"
Nothing further was said, and they
went about their business for the rest
of the day. Twenty-four hours later,
once more at breakfast, the second
man said:
"How d'you know It wasn't a bull?"
Again no comment. Again pause of
twenty-four hours. Next morning the
FIRST man began to pack up his billy
Sud ''swag."
You going?" inquired the other.
Yes"
WHY
Because" said his friend, there
too much argument in this camp
