Some Dickens Memories

a paragraph in this weeks NJ. A. p.
about Charles Dickens, writes an all
but nonagenarian reader, takes my
memory back to the early days of this
celebrated author before. 1 think, he
was known to the world as Boz" 1t

years of age and employed in the Of
fees of Corbett Woodward, solicitor.
of F'urnival's lane, that Dickens had
an office Whereabouts. He was, | be-
lieve, reporter to the house of COM
mons at the time. 1t was my duty as
Junior clerk to go and meet the post
man at the corner of Hatton garden,
which was his boundary from the gen.
eral postoffice. and hand him the let
tiers for the evening mail
This postman was an interesting fig

first paying him a penny each. but not
for postage. as that could not be pre-
paid-of course 1t was before the time
of postage stamps-and tken, after a
final peal of his bell, he would march
off down Holborn hill, up Snow hin, to
st. Martins le-Grand. Dickens some
bAlilCS mn his lElleIS 10 care,
so l saw him often, and have vivid
recollection of his striking appearance.
He was young and good looking man
then. with long flowing hair, regular
features. clear, dark complexion and
clean shaver. He always wore black
satin stock and breastpin. l also re-
member him at the Marshalsea prison,
where l accompanied Mrs Cornwall
Baron Wilson on a visit to Sir Edwin
Sandys, then q very aged man, with
long white hair. 1t was his reception
day, and Dickens was among the
guests, as far as / can remember.
My next recollection of Dickens was
after long years, when l heard him
read at St. James hall, and remarked
at the time that he bore no resem-
blance to the Dickens of former days.
A gray, stubby beard surrounded his
face, and, as Sala described him, he
had more ''the appearance of Dutch
skipper" than the author known as
Boz" Having been a resident in Lon
don all my days, IL is pleasant to re-
cord these glimpses OF the past. which
are only few of many similar ones IN
my long life OF eighty-seven years..

never can tell by the surface what is
really going forward underneath.
