When they entered I had the presence of mind to rise, as I saw Charles Mansfield do, and they were presented to me singly. "My cousins, Emma, Jennie, Anna and Maggie ; my sister Mary, sister Hattie," said Charles. I was not too much embarrassed to notice the surpassing beauty of diaries' youngest sister, Mi,ss llattie, a fine flower that had just burst into the bloom of womanhood. " Miss Hamilton," said Charles, in presenting the last of the ladies. This person, though she must have been thirty-five, was dressed in style suitable for " sweet sixteen." Set off with false teeth, false curls and a false complexion, she wore a dress with low neck and short sleeves. All this flashed through my mind in n moment, and the idea of my being in the presence of so much style and fashion quite disconcerted me, so that I forgot to Bow, but, unconsciously stepping backward, fell over a rug, which I had not before noticed. After the first slight commotion occasioned by this mishap had subsided, all showed their good breeding by taking no notice of it, savo the old maid, who kept up an occasional titter over it during the whole afternoon. This person is distantly related to Mrs. Mansfield, and one of those visiting nuisances of which we sometimes read in sketclics. Feeling great drops of prespiration upon my brow, i reached for my handkerchief, but found that, in my agitation while dressing, J hail neglected to provide myself with one. Charles had very considerately seated himself by my side, so I leaned towards him and whispered what I had forgotten. He replied by placing the article in my hand. I had hoped that we were unobserved, but the fair Hattie soon undeceived me by exclaimingr "See there, Charles and Mr. Hampden are whispering. Now that is positively such a breach of etiquette, that we must insist on being told what it is about. It must be a secret, and a secret is always interesting—especially to a woman." "That is right, Hattie, always acknowledge the failings of your sex," cried Charles gaily. I cannot say how much I was obliged to Charles for so skillfully changing the subject of conversation, for the old maid, probably feeling herself aggrieved, took up the gauntlet thus thrown down. But what Miss Hattie had said about the breach of etiquette intensified the agonies of my embarrassment. yet I can iittVt iigam attempt to Capillary attraction—falling in love HOUSE, stanzas, passage after passage, and commented upon them, T found that our thoughts were strikingly alike, so I was pleased with my companion, for we always think well of those whose judgment coincides with our own.

Whether battling with the weapons of his wit for the release of poor school-boys, or humanity for irfnis-1 iouse paupers, or relief for befogged and plundered clients, and a public ridden to death by aristocratic office-holders ; or founding a great liberal newspaper in the interest of popular government and free education ; or refusing with dignity an invitation to attend as an actor the court where lie could not be received as a private man, Charles Dickens, without a suspicion of demogogueism, without the affectation of condescending, without uttering one insincere or Hatterlng word, made himself as truly the poet and prophet of the people in prose as Burns was their chosen singer in verse. It is for this reason that wherever tho English language is spoken Charles Dickens was cherished as a friend. It is for this reason that his death awakens to-day such universal sorrow, and that iis name will be held in sincerely affectionate remembrance to the latest generations. Letter I I write with a trembling baud to-night, dear Timothy, for my whole frame is agitated by the anguish of my soul. My miserable bashfulness has been the means of hoaping upon me a load of mortification which is enough to craze my brain. I have no relief but in writing to you. At college our bash fulness was the bond of our friendship. Our college life was one continued scene of trial, a desert of mental pain whose only oasis was the green spot of our mutual sympathy. We could sympathize with each other in all our troubles, for we had suffered alike ; and oh, how sweet to the soul writhing on the rack of agony is the precious balm of sympathy ! But I must forbear my rhapsodies. I fear my letters are already become as full of them as are the missives of a love-lorn swain of protestations of undying devotion.

During the two intervening days I could not get my mind sufficiently free from excitement to read or study. I spent much time in practicing the dances you taught me at college. It would have supplied you with food for abundance of laughter and ridicule, could you have seen with what defference I bowed, time after time, to my own image in the mirror. I hunted up a work entitled "Aids to Conversation," and, after I had read it through, felt as though I could decapitate the writer and strangle the publisher, for I was sure that it luid not aided me any. I felt that I could not think of anything to say, and, if I could, 1 would be afraid to say it, lest T might transgress some of the laws laid down by the undisputable authority I had read. I was certain that it was entirely wrong to restrict conversation by any such arbitrary rules. For my own part I needed all possible liberty, and even then, would be apt to be like the owl among the song birds, silent and mopy, while the rest were chattering gaily, or pouring forth their joy in bursts of rapturous song. pic nie.

When we arrived at the lake' shore, as the boat was mine, I felt it incumbent upon me to enter it first and prepare it for sailing. As I was adjusting the sail the fair Hattie sprang into the boat, declaring that she knew the other girls were dying to sit by me, but as she had walked down with me, she meant to have that pleasure herself. So sudden and unexpected was her entrance that I was not prepared for the rocking of the boat it caused. I clung 1 to the mast for support, but it lifted from Tha most always have klaws and skwratch.
