DICKENS AS A CHILD.
His Life Was Lonely AS He Missed
the Companionship Of Rows.
Pearl Cornwel
r. R. No. S.

the companionship of Boys.
Charles Dickens was very little
and very sickly boy, but he had al
ways the belief that this circumstances
had brought to him the inestimable
advantage of having greatly inclined
him to reading. When money trou-
bles came upon his parents, the poor
little fellow was taken away from
school and kept for some time at an
occupation that was most distasteful to
him, with every surrounding that
could jar on sensitive and refined feel
1ngs. 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 "Mr. Fosters Life" q
school fellows description Of Charles
Dickens:
"a healthy-loolking boy small but
well built, with a more than usual flow
OF spirits inclining to harmless fun,
seldom, or never, 1 think, to mischief.
He usually held his head more erect
than lads ordinarily do, and there was
general SrartneSS about him"
Ihls Is also very personal descrip-
ton of the man. never heard him
refer In any way to his own childish
days, excepting in one instance, when
ne would tel the story of how, when
ho HNSu dI Sndlndnl-Qe ana his faSl-
er often passed Gad's Hill in their
walks, and what an admiration he had
for the brick house, with its beautiful
old cedar trees and how it seemed to
him to be larger and father would tell
MIN That II he were to be persevering,
and were to work hard, he might, per-
maps some day come to live in it.
| l have heard him tell this story oves
and over again, when he had become
the possessor of the very place which
had taken such a sold upon his child
ish affection. Beyond this cannot re-
call single instance of any allusion
being made by him to his own early
childhood.
He had wonderful attraction for
children, and quick perception of
their character and disposition; most
winning and easy way with them
full of fun, but also of a graver sym-
| pathy with their many small troubles
and perplexities, which made them
recognize a friend in him at once.

THE SUMMER CHILD.

Child of the Summer; boy of mine,
Out in the sun and wind all day;
Deem in the realms of Sunderland
After the out of-doors at play;
Tell to me all the white clouds said,
Floating above in sea of blue;
What was the tale the West Wind
brought,
What did the butterflies say to you?
Lost in the grasses were you today;
Your soul just part Of natures
song;
The sun left it's. blush on chubby
cheek;
Wind blew your tresses all day long.
You picked red berries hid away
Deep down beneath the rag-weed's
shade,
And you ran, wild-eyed, from the fuz-
zy worm
That crossed the path your foot
steps strayed.
Your bare feet, lad, are scratched and
bruised
From meadow stubble and roadside
stone,
For many world you found today
Wandering out on your way alone.
Too tired were you to wash your feet;
So urgent the call of the fairy band,
You entered their bark all tangle-
haired
That drifted you off to Sunderland.
Child Of the Summer; boy Of mine;
Tenderest the dreams that came to-
day;
Tell me the secrets Nature old.
IT'S seldom 1 walk thy paths these
days,
And cen when I do the dreams come
not,
So hold to my hand and let US stroll
In that land, worth while, l had mos,
forgot.
-Oney Fred Sweet in the Des Moines
Capital.
