Heard Dickens Read.

Seth Low, the POSTMASTER, said that the
occasion suggested both the smile and the
tear which Dickens sent around the world.
He referred to the sudden death of the
great novelist's son, Alfred Tennyson
at the centenary.
Mr. Low also spoke of the fund which
is being raised in aid of descendants OF
the Sage Of Gadshill Mr.. Low was a
sophomore in college when he heard Dick
ems read from his own works.
IT have never heard an author read
his own books SO WE'LL" said Mr.. Low,
Except George W. Cable.
Dickens Selection of Names.
Miss Agnes Repplier paid tribute to
the influence Of Dickens on our daily
speech-an influence which she believed
had much of it's origin in the appropriate
ness Of his names. The memory of Mrs.
Jellaby, for instance, will live forever as
the exemplifcation of lack of housewifely
thrift.
Ills positive genius for Names" Miss
for what other titles could have been
given to such characters as Micawber.
Toots. Traddles-they could not have been
called anything else
The Rev. DIR. William T. Manning, the
rector of Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church., who was to have spoken, was
unable to be present on account of a Sc
we're cold. In his letter of regret, which
was read, DIR. Manning referred to the
fact that the great novelist had attended
Trinity when he visited this country. 1t
is in a vault in Trinity churchyard that
the son of Dickens lies buried.
Dickens View of Life.
William Bayard Hale saw Dickens from
the viewpoint of 1.-The spirit Of youth.
The speaker declared that Dickens owed
his success to the fact that he looked at
all that he saw with the freshness of a
child.
IF we could assemble the characters
of Dickens here" said Mr.. Hale, ''and
make a composite picture Of them we
would get a wonderful picture of human
nature. The power, the vividness and Vi
vacity of childhood were his. Dickens
did not know what others had written
about life when he began; he didn't care.
he saw it all with the never failing fresh
ness Of the child.
I'VE are here to keep his memory green,
ever will be anything else than green.
We are here to honor one who kept his
heart forever young and whose face was
bathed in the dew Of childhood's morn

Poetry by Edwin Markham was to have
been read by the author, who. however,
was detained at home by illness. 1t was
