A Talc of the OlSNectiilff Tnble. Tn a narrow little street, full of nooks and angles, stands a quaint brick house, nooky and full of angles too. It has survived many years, and time has filled its crevices with mold, and green moss now and then is soon on its cornices, or grows close on the walls. It is old enough to have had a his tory, and people say it is the brooding haunt of memories that are better lost than kept alive. Be that as it nitty, it is the scene of a little incident in life, which was told to me, and I relate it here. Those connected with it hnve passed away, but others besides my self will recollect the doctor's story. The old college near by'was in the hey-day of its fame before tho war, and students from all parts of the State weie in attendance. By some of these the old house we speak of was rented for dissecting purposes, and hither were brought the subjects they desired to practice on. A gloomy place it was, and with closed shutters and doors, excluding daylight, the heavy atmosphere seemed instinct with ghostly presence. Coming into the house from the keen air outside, a chill would strike to the heart like the breath of a Texas norther. An inspir ation of constraint, of fear and dread, was all about the place. "Imagine, then, my feelings," said the narrator, " when, long after mid night, I crept cautiously into the old house alone. I had made arrange ments to have a subject brought me for my next day's study. But a fever ish unrest pursued me, and an inclin ation 1 could not resist carried me there long before any one else was stirring. I knew my commissaries had done their work long before, and in the silent figure on the table, out lined through the muslin draperies, I perceived that for which I came in search. My nerves were always strong, and I had a passion for science. 1 had no fear of the dead, and yet I trem bled perceptibly as I stood that night beside the voiceless clay I had come to view. What was it—fear, or that subtle sympathy which, despite all reason able causes, at times pervades the heart and mind ? I can't describe the sensation, but I felt at times as if I was approaching some event of con trolling force and power on my life. But whatever the feeling was I shook it oft", and turning up the gas ap nroached the table. My hand shook a little as I exposed the face of the dead to view. It was a young girl, apparently about seventeen years of age. It was a sad face, beautiful and calm ; and a smile, like the shadow of holy mem ories, lingered on the lips. A garland of white flowers wreatiied her brow like a bride. The golden floss of sunny hair that crowned the head was stirred by a breath of air. I started and turned pale. It seemed to me on the unreasoning instant, that on that silent, viewless breath of air life was returning to the inanimate frame. What if it should be so! I came closer and looked eagerly into the face—a calm, still face, with yellow lashes veiling the palely-tinted under lids, and a waxen bloom like a roseate shadow on cheek and lip. Soon, as I looked, the features changed—a shade swept over the face—indistinct—such as sometimes a glint of sunlight flings on ice or steel. It was life. I was certain of it. Quick as thought I lifted the figure and carried it to a sofa in an adjoin ing room, and disrobing the arm, stuck my lance deep into a vein. The blood came dark and clotted, a drop at a time, then swifter and in a ruddier stream. My brain was on fire, and my blood leaped like a courser in my veins. But my hand was steady, and my senses did not desert me. Through her set teeth I poured a draught of ammonia, and life began to flutter back into the passive frame. The mouth twitchea, the cheeks flushed and paled alternately, the eyelids quivered, and the blue eyes opened wide. " I have been dreaming," she mur mured, wearily. " Yes," I replied, " pleasant dreams, I trust." 44 Very pleasant. I thought of clouds and shadows tinged with rainbow hues, and gentle murmuring streams, and gardens full of bloom." "Take this and dream again," I said ; and almost as I spoke she sank back in sleep. And then the doctor relapsed into silence too. •* Well, doctor, what next," I asked eagerly. " Well, I oalied a carriage and took her to my boarding-house—had her made comfortable," he replied, curtly. " She was'ut dead, then, after all ?'" "No." "But she hail been buried ?" we asked. "Yes, in a trance. That is all you need to know," and the doctor ended his story. There was something pathetic in the fiosition of the German florist, who, n the bitterness of his heart, ex claimed: "I have so much drouble mid de ladies yen they come to buy mine rose ; dey vants him hardy, dey v.ints doubles, dey vants him frag rant, dey vants him nice golor, dey vants him eberyting In one rose. I hopes I am not what you call one un callant man, but I have sometimes to say to dat ladles, " Madame, I never often see ladies dat vas beautiful, dat vas rich, dat vas good temper, dat vas yqung, dat was clever, dat vas per fection, in one ladies. I see her much not." Some people are as hard to suit as other folks. Forgetting how many millions would have been last to com merce had it remained, Quebeckers complain that the going out of their ice-bridge occasioned a loss of $500,C00. Los Angeles Daily Herald. Charles Dickens' Parents. A llather I'oiiuy Couple-Some In* tei-estlng Reminiscent e». 17 Rivers Street, Hath, England. My Dear : I hasten to reply to your request that I should give you some information respecting the fam ily of poor Charles Dickens. I became acquainted with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Dickens, in 1850, and Charles Dickens having requested my husband's professional attendance upon old Dickens, who was rapidy failing in health, both the father and mother came to live with us at 34 Keppel Street, London. Mr. Dickens died under our roof March 31, 1851. He was a kind-hearted man, but fear fully irascible. His fits of temper lasted, however, but a short time, but while they did last they were terrible. I remember on one occasion some private theatricals were given at St. James's Theatre, in which Charles Dickens took the principal character, and old Mr. Dickens was appointed bill distributor for the'night Charles hail given strict orders that no one should be allowed behind the scenes. The elder Dickens, returning to the green-room, was surprised and indig nant to see a man, as he thought, standing at the other end of the apart ment. His blood boiled up in an in stant, and he flew at him. His anger increased at seeing the figure advance toward him, and he rushed up and struck out with all his might, hitting a lookirg glass with such violence that he had sore knockles for some days afterwards. The resemblance between old Mr. D. and Mr. Micawber was very slight. The day previous to his death he seemed unusully well, and we none of us expected he would pass away so soon. He was at first taken seriously ill while at dinner, and after he was put to bed I sent oft' immediately for Charles. He came as soon as possible. I was in the room when the old gentleman died. Charles Dickens had been with him for hours, standing or sitting by the bedside, and holding his hand. He was much affected, and behaved throughout with great tenderness. Mrs. Dickens was a little woman, who had been very nice-looking in her youth. The likeness between her add Mrs. Nickleby is simply the ex aggeration of some slight peculiarities. She possessed an extraordinary sense of the ludicrous. Entering a room she almost unconsciously took an inven tory of its contents,"and if anything happened to strike her as out of place or ludicrous, she would afterwards de scribe it in the quaintest possible manner. She had also a very fine vein of pathos, and could bring tears to the eyes of her listeners when nar rating some sad event. lam of opin ion that a great deal of Dickens' genius was inherited from his mother. Mrs. Dickens has often sent my sister and myself into fits of laughter by her funny sayings and mimicry. Charley was decidely fond of her, and always treated her kindly. He told her that she must rely on him for tlie future. To my husband and myself he expressed himself in the warmest manner for what little kindness we had shown his parents. He sent my husband a handsome silver snurF-box, lined with geld, on which was ex graved this inscription : TO ROBERT nwv, A po >r token of gratitude and respect. In memory of my dear father, CHABLBS sickens. This heirloom Is now in my eldest son's possession. It was accompanied by a beautiful and touching letter, full of tenderness and lilial affectian. Mrs. Dickens was very fond of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Charles, and has often told me that she believed " there was not another woman in all England so well suited to her son." Charles Dickens called frequently at Keppel street, and sometimes stayed to dinner. He was not a very talk ative man, but could be extremely pleasant when he chose. Mrs. Dickens does not seem to have foreseen the future celebrity of her son in his child hood, but she remembered many little circumstances afterwards which she was very fond of relating. Once, when Charles was a tiny boy, and the family were staying down to Chatham, the nurse had a great deal of trouble in inducing him to follow her when out for a walk. When thoy returned home Mrs. Dickens said to her, " Well, how have the children be haved ? " "Very nicely indeed, ma'am, all but Master Charley." "What has he done?" "Why, ma'am, he will persist in always going the same road every day." " Charley, Charley, how is this?" "Why, mamma," answered, the urchin, " does not the Bible say we must walk the same path all the days of our life."— Letter published in Lippin cott's Magazine. It is almost twenty-nine years since Pius IX. ascended the Papal threne. None of his predecessors had so long a lease of power as he has enjoyed. The average duration of the Pontifloate is seven years, four months, and thir teen days. Sylvester I. reigned 22 years ; Leo the Great, 24 ; Theodorus L, 21 ; Adrian 1., 23 ; Gregory IV., 17; Paschall 11., 19; Alexander 111. (the avenger of A'Becket), 22; John XXIL, 22; Eugenius. IV., 16; Alex ander Farnese, 10; Paul V., 16 ; Urban VIIL, 21 ; Clement XII., 21; Bene dict XIV., 18 ; Gregory XIV., the im mediate predecessor of the present Pope, 15 years. Pius IX. is the two hundredth and fifty-seventh Pope, reckoning from St. Peter. A cynical writer says, "Take a com pany of boys chasing butterfles. Put long-tailed coats on the boys and turn the butterfles into dollars, and you have a beautiful panorama of 'the world." The destruction of half the village of Butternuts, N. V., tho other day, will be nuts to the wicked man of the Boston Past, for he must crack his joke, no matter who suffers. The Montgomery News don't believe that Livingston is dead, or that there is a Stanley. He will next doubt whether there ever was a Dr. Living stone or a country called Great Britain.
