Dickens and His Wife. The Cause of their Separation? TfiJt (it fin t WmnfiJjiafa 'Account of his Family Trouble. The following private letter from Charles Dickens is published, prefaced with the following sentence: 44 Yon have not only my foil permission to sliow. this, but I beg ot you to show Ibis to any one who has been misled into doing mo wrong." '"Ti. V l My Dear Mrs. Dickens and I hare lived unhappy together for many years; Hardly any one who has known us intimately can fail to have known that we are, in all respects of character and temperament, wonderfully nntuited to each other. I suppose that no two people, not vicious in themselves, eter were joined together who had greater difficulty in understanding one anothor, or who had less in common. An attached woman servant, (more friend to both of us than a servant,) who lived with ns sixteon years, and is now married, and who was, and still is. in Mrs. Dickens* confidence and mine, who had the closest familiar experience of this nnhapplness in London, in the country, fn France, in Italv, wherever we have been, year after year, month after month, week after week, day after day, will bear testimony, to this. , f Nothing has, on many occasions, stood between o? and a separation but Mrs. Dickens* sister, Georgian Hogarth. From the age of fiitean she has devoted herself to onr house and children. She baa been their playmate, nurse, instructress. Iriend, protectress, adviser and companion. In the manly consideration towards Mrs. Dickeas which l.qwe my wife, I will niws, 1 v remark of her that the peculiar* ity of her character has thrown all the care <A the children on some one else. I do net know?I cannot by any stretch of fancy ima> gine?what would have become of them but for this mint who lias grown up with thera, to whom they are devoted, and who has sacrificed tbe best phtt of b#r youth and fm to them. She has remoMtrated, reasoned, xnfiored Mid, toiled, and eoase again to prevent a separation bt Cftcr bar sons? of bar affectionate vara: and devotion in the bouse?never mere strongly than within the last'1 twelve months. For some yearn past Mrs. Dichf ens baa boen in the babit of repissenting to me that it wonld be belter lor her to go away and liveapart; that bar always increasing estrangement made a mental disorder an dot which ana sometimss labors; mora, that she felt herself Unit for the lite she had to land as ray wife, and that she wonld be far batter away. I Lave uniformly replied that she most bear oar misfortune and fight the fight ooft to the end; that the children were the first consideration, and that 1 feared they most bind ns together u in appearance." At lengtli, within these three weeks, it wee suggested to me by Foster, that eveufor tbelr askoe, it would sutelj be better to' reoon struct end rearrange -the nfibkppy t home. I Empowered biro to treat with Mrs. Dickens M tbe friend of both of us for one and twentj years. Mrs. Dickens wished to fcdd; on her part, Mark Lemon, and did so. On 8atarday last Lemoh wrote to Foster thut Mrs. Dickens "gratefully and thankfully aocepted " the terms I proposed to her. Of the pecuniary part ol thero, I will only say. that I believe they are as generons as lit Mrs. Dickens wero a lady of distinction and 1 a man of fortune. The remaining parts of them are- easily (lescritHjd?my eldest boy to live tvith Mrs. Dickens and to take Care of her ; my eldest girl to keep my house; both my girls and all my children but the eldest son to live with me in continued com panionship of their Aunt Georgine, tor whom they have all the tenderest affections that I have over seen imong young people, and who has a higher claim (as I bare often declared for many years) upon my affection, respect and gratitude than anybody In this wond. I hope that no one wlio may become acquainted with what I write here, can possibly be so cruel and unjust as to put any misconstruction on our separation so fhr. My I aU -!!?> ? -? ?^ i- - r viuer enuaron mi understand it perfectly, and all accept it as inevitable. There is not a shadow of donbt #r concealment among us. My eldest son and I are one as fo it all. Two wicked persons, whothonld have spoken very diffcrenth* of me, in consideration of earned roapcct and gratitude, .have (as X am told, and, indeed to my pergonal knowledge,) Ooopled with tkis separation the name of a young taay for whom I have a greet attach ment and regard. I will not repeat the tyune; I honor it too mnoli. Upon my soul and honor, there is not on this earth a more spotless creatnre than that young lady. I know Iter to be pnre, and as good as my own daughters. Farther, I am quite sure that Mrs. Dickens, having received this assurance from me, must now befiere it, in the respect I know her to have for me, and in the perfect confidence I know her, In her bettor moments, to repose in my truthfulness. On this head, again, there is not a shadow of donbt or concealment between ray children and me. All Is open sod plain among us, as J thongh we wore brothers and sis ??rn. niey are perfectly certain Diet I would not deceive them, arid the confidence among w it without a fear, r 0. D.

Thin slrine mafcwthe best bags in the world.?l&eAaiigc. Weddings occupy so much of Ih^jUoja ood Attention of die fash lettable world just now, we reed with b great deal of interest the itMM Of wedding etiquette which come to us from ebroed. In the matter of bridesmaid* teate* differ as well as family associations. The extremes are followed by having aeweral bridesmaids elegantly dressed, with a Corresponding nnmber of groomsmen. The opposite style, which la quite as elegant, And a good deal more poetic, has a number of young girl bridesmaid* with no groomsmen at all, but only the parents oFthe bride, who perform the ceremony of giving the bride away. Bridesmaid's drome* are not entirely of white % high-colored sashes, ribbons, etc.. as well as bright-fitted nnderdreatsW Ul?*&r& tttttl' ftUi the richest colored silk, trimmed with lace and pearls, to simplest muslin worn by girlhood, or tulle made vapory by clohds of ruffles *^Xt8ome I*?r!smn weddings,Intoly, the bride has not worn ornament of any kind Whatever, but pearls are seppSded fto be the ffteat writable when any ornaments are Worn. If the bridegroom were not one of the dramatuprrtovae, we should nbt suppose it of the slightest ootisequonco. whether he attended the wedding at all or not. so far as being the objective point goes. Mat as he is " head captain,0 what ho shall wear appears to vex his matrimonial soul about as mnfeh as |t should. *' When we arrive at this polntiof * Ibshhfti leaf* bsgnd; deal like putting ont the light and Feeling one's way through,tn unkuowu region, and the end general br pa that one's descriptions are as '' clear as mud-w We are sure, however, that etor Dal vigilance is thejpriot of e$yle, and before we give it as a fact, we shall wait until we know that bridegrooms wear "blue coats With brass buttons and a needlewrought shirt bosom, with a rose colored lining to show through." we should expect a bridegroom dressed in m. stvln ?n General Bourns' to carry a stick to church and behave accordingly. are willing to believe, however, that white satin vesta cut low will be en regie, with a little fold of voilet, buff, or blue silk pccpii g beyond tbe opening, and we think it good taste which permits lavender or pearl-colorod trowaera, instead of solemn black one^i so strictly adhering to the trigiaal measure a a to suggest Mepimt.pheles. * Wk coqld nerer see why the fulld eased man should not iadalge in shoes, for it is quite possible that somebody else wishes to * stand in his shoes." But wedding etlqotte says be must wear boots, ana we leave it to the French and English to fight it out between them whether tbey shall be ronnd or square toed. Neck-tics are of white satin, but, notwithstanding so oinch that is new about Byron has lately turned op, the Byronic collar, is still to be tamed down. But, a* we said before, in general principles, we think the bridegroom is a very foolish man If he puts himself tcr any#onble to be in the fashion at hie own wedding; for, unless some of his gneete wear, for a coat of arms, a goose or a pressbowrd, what earthly difference can it make! The greatest possible latitude is permitted just now in tlie choice of an entertainment to' follow the marriage ceremony, but the stylish breakfast occurring fit the middle of the day nearly, is the roost duimout of all. It is partioalarly English, and to ewr infinite credit be it said, that, though Paris supplies ns so many styles* we like the dignity and solemnity of the English marriage customs much better than the French: H ??' 7l?ant wedding take place at fashionable hotels instead of at . the aeuae of the bride, thoa Saving a great amount of trouble, tot to say destruction of furniture sn<f dafpet^WBt pleasantly oqU* template*', btf a^jf '.housekeeper.

( Duelling Wheat.?The season is approaching for seeding down wheiu. We would urge the bene 5. : "* u? v? arming in tno 66GCI Willi a machine instead of broad-cast sow* ing. Nothing in Agricultural practice now a davs may l>? euiJ to bo better established than this, as every one knows who has tried it, and the reports last season in the Department at Washington from all actions of the country, show the gain in bushels per acre to be in some sections 20 and 25 per cent, with the drilled wheat. It is found to be winch less liable to be thrown ont by frosts or winter killed, and tka free action of the atmosphere through the drills in the field.? The uniform depth at which it is covered causing an evenees in the growth, together with at least one peck loss seed being required lor all advantages which belong to | drilling, connected also with se, enring a batter taking of the grass seed. Drills, as with other farm machinery, have been greatly improved (Mb last few years, and are now constructed not only to sow trheat, oats, rye, Ac., in given quantities, but also to sow with it grass seed and fertilizers in the rows with the grain; so that the i >il beingprevjously well prepared, the whole is finished at one operation, and the ground left in nice smooth condition. Die ridges left by the drills are levelled down by the frosts of winter, giving additional protection to the tender roots of grain and grass. [.Practical Farmer. A Pnow T /*? ^ - ?

Kissing The Baby. It was the lot of the writer to B1 Iwell in the white tents of camp ?r Hairison, in Georgia, in the lower R part of the State, where families rc *re always far between, and mnch h< JO in war -times. For long weeks we had not seen a woman or a 8,i child. ' WJ At last the railroad through the camp was repaired, and in the first train there was a lady with a wide- 8< awake, bine-eyed crowing baby. R Borne hnndreas of rongh soldiers ? were aronnd the cars, and Captain F Story, ot the 57th Georgia Infan- ? try, was the biggest ana roughest amcng them, it we may judge of J8 the tree by its btrk. 'fl The lady, with the baby in her arms, was looking from the win- I dow, and he took off his hat and said : 44 Madam, I will give you five dollars if yon will let me kissthat baby?" One look at his bearded face told her that there ^ was nothing bad in it and saying, Jr w.mi ? pivuHeu laugn, ** i do not cliargo anything for kissing my ba- c by,n it was banded over. Tlie lit- 8 tie one was not afraid, and the , bushy whiskers, an eighth of an ( ell long, were just the playhouse it * had been looking for. More than one kiss did the Captain get from the little red lips, and there was energy in the hug n of (he little round arms. Then other voices said. 44 Pass him over J, hero, Cap I" and before the train ^ was ready to move half a hundred n men had kissed the baby. It was j on its best behaviour, and kicked j, and tugged at whiskers as only a (| happy baby can. It was an ovent of the campaign ; and one giant of a mountaineer, who strode past ns with a tread like a mammoth, bnt with tear-dimmed eyes and qniv- j ering lips, said: By George, it c makes ine feel and act like a fool; but Pve got one just like it at n home." k Separation or the American Episcopal Ciicscn.?A division in the Episcopal church in this country seems inevitable. Under the * head of 4*A Call for Action," the v Episcopalian demnnds boldly and ? strongly the following changes: ,4The Baptismal Office, the Com- J"' innnion Office, the Catechism, 1 which are nersisfentlv claimed to " teach the Sacramenturian theory, e must he revised, and the Apostolic P Succession; in short, the whole is- r' sue of the priestly character and r sacramental grace theory, must be expunged and swept from the litnrgv and standards of our church, d as tLe midiceval rubbish and 4 old wives' fables' of dark and corrupt ages, Reason with the ruting 1 majority?afford them the oppor- ^ tnnify to reform the church in its * beads and members?and then, if ll they will not do it, we can go forth ft to tlic land of promise and of free- 0 dom." On the other hand, the l it- * ualistic rector of 8t. A1 ban's Epis copal church, who we suppose, is but little in advance of his party, ? affirms that the Episcopal and Boman Catholic beliefs are alike, al- 0 though the members do not com- * muno together owing to the in- r< trignes at the court of Romo at the time of the Reformation. ITo aa- " *erts that the churches are actually one, that the members are all Roman Catholic, and he hoped to C jce the day when they would be h united undor the latter name. d Humiutt.?A farmer went with his son into a wheat field to seo if it was ready for the harvest. M Seo, j f a t h e r,"* exclaimed the boy, Q "how straight these stems hold up their heads. They must be the best ones. Those that bang their heads down I am sure cannot be good for much." The farmer pluck- " ed a stalk of each kind and said : " "see here, my child. This stalk d. that stood straight is light-headed, and almost good for nothing; while ?Lf_ t " _ ?...
