THE CENTENARY OF CHARLES
DICKENS

| The centenary of Charles Dickens
Is not only being celebrated through.
out the British Isles, but is being hon
ored in America as well. Dickens was
| prodigious writer, and there is a
wealth of beauty, pathos and enchant
ment in his writings, but perhaps the
best thing that he ever wrote was the
letter to his son who recently died in
New York City. The son was leaving
home for school to be gone an indef-
mite time, and the great novelist
wrote him the following letter:
Never take mean advantage OF
anyone in any transaction and never
be hard upon people who are in your
power. Try and do to others as you
would have them do to you, and do
not be discouraged if they fail some
times 1t is much better for you that
they should fail in observing the
greatest rule laid down by our Savior
than that you should. l put New
Testament among your books for the
very same reasons and for the very
same hopes that made me write an
easy account of it for you when you
were little child; because it is the
best book that ever was or ever will
be known in the world, and because it

any human creature, who tries to be
truthful and faithful to duty, can pos
sibly be guided. AS your brothers
have gone away, one by one, | have
written to each such words as | am
now writing to you, and have entreat-
ed them all to guide themselves by
this book, putting aside the interpre-
tations and inventions of man. You
will remember that you have never at
home been harrassed about religious
observances or mere formalities.
have always been anxious not to
weary my children with such things
before they are old enough to form
opinions respecting them. You will
therefore understand the better that
/ now most solemnly impress upon
you the truth and beauty of the Chris
tian religion as it came from Christ
himself, and the impossibility of your
going far wrong if you humbly and
heartily respect it. Only one thing
more on this head. The more we are
in earnest as to feeling it, the less we
are disposed to hold forth about it.
Never abandon the wholesome prac-
tice of saying your own prayers, night
and morning. have never abandon
ed it myself, and know the comfort
of it. hope you will always be able
to say, in after life, that you had a
kind father. You cannot show your
affection for him so well, or make him
so happy, as by doing your duty"

CURIOUS INCIDENT

A special to the Ocala Banner
from a point on the Oklawaha river
speaks of a floating cistern as a re-
markable novelty. At intervals for
the past century, or ever since the
Mississippi river began to eat away
it's banks, the sight has been often
seen. Nearly all the plantations on
the river bottoms had cisterns for
catching and holding rain water for
domestic purposes. They were almost
invariably built of brick mortared
with cement. When the river en-
croached sufficiently upon the planta-
ton to wash out the ground about the
cistern that receptacle generally let
go and fioated off with the current. A
well built cistern that will hold water
will also keep it out, and the air in it
would make ia a very buoyant object
IL much of it's interior is empty. Still,
the oklawaha incident is probably the
first ever occurring in Florida. -Tam-
