"Christianity, indeed ?" said Mr. Ed monua, ns lie looked over h is* book*, in the little back parlor bellind the shop. "I am | disgusted with sack hypocrisy !" There was a dark frown upon the brow of4 tlie ftifhJr of business as ho spoke these fftorda, and an irritability in his manner of turning ovef"the leaves before him, which spoke of some bad debt troubling his mind, nnd robbing him of his good temper. "What is the matter !" asked a cheer- I - ful little woman by the fire, at whose side a ' basket of stockings told of a large family, and a consequent demand for stitchery. J, 'Walter!" echoed the husband, "do you ! not Vhow that Welsford owes ino four f pourfds, ten jyid sixpence !" ttWeJLl>e Vill pay, I suppose." "Not Sc. Tbe goods were purchased i mofo than aevcar ago, and I have not had a penny yet 1" "What does he say when you see him ?" j listed Mr. Edmonds, wlio evidcutly loved : to lool^al ihe bright side. ^efey-! lie does not say much to me, I can tell you. I told him not to worry me with hi*.excuses, but to bring his mon &y ; afJd that he need not cross my door | ' step Again till he could do that." "I a*h sorry for his wife," said the little I stock ir.g roender, presently : "she appears j to be a truly pious woman." *'Pious !" retorted her husband. "Yes, nnd so is lie ; 'tis that disgusts me. lie- ' ligioii, indeed ; and he owes mo four j pounds, "ten and sixpence. I thought the i Bible said, "Owe no man anything.

But, although an excellent man business, Mr. Edmonds was a very rdinary Christian. True, lie had begun the lace, but he did not press toward the mark. Alas* for tlie cares of this world and the deceltfulne&sof riuhc3 ! And, as it is characteristic of a low standard of piety to i ? -narsu nod censorious in our judgement 6f oar fellow clyistiau, so Jfr.

None were admitted to witness them, 6ave the ^ friauds of the ameteur manager, but so r<-'J wide is his circle of acquaintance, and so ('? i great is the social influence held by ninny j 1 < of the persons of whom it is composed, j ',0 that the "Tavistock House Theatricals, j ;'n soon became celebrated throughout the | ^ul whole literary and artistic woild of London. \ ',!l 'The number who actually yaw the perform- i ',:i ancc did hoi, most likely,exceed five hun-| dred, but most of them were not only talk- , ' ing men, but men whose talk is sure to find i listeners ; and lience the fact that Mr. ' ',:l r Charles Dickens was an actor of a far higli er kind than liad been demonstrated by liis cat her ann tuer performances, was one of 1 i the best atKrined facts of the day. Under ! . . . | these circumstances, it was but natural that , 1 when on Saturday night, the "Tavistock 1 1 - i performances took nlace before such of the T public as chose to visit tho "Gallery of III- S ustration" for the benefit of tho fund "in i . b remembrnnce of tlie late Mr. Douglas Jer- ? ; ! rold,nthe long room was crowded to reple- cc i | lion. The Gallery, it will be remembered a<5 - is not in the shape of a theatre, but it is i an oblong room, the length of which far 1 exceeds its breadth, and hence the intermi- a? y liable scries of heads presenting a curious aspect to a spectator iu the vincinity of the j !" .1 stage. ; J" An (iU-Jiencc which is select as well as ; ' - numerous, and ihe humblest constituents ( . i- of which pay Cs. for their places, is not apt | i to indulge in those noisy demons'rat ions of. ' delight tliat arc so freely given by the mix- j f ed assemblies of an ordinary llientrc. 1 Jilt - never was there a feeling of a deeper ami j a I more genuine admiration than was left by . x\ J ' Mr. Charles Dickens in the minds of his ' , auditors at the conclusion of Mr. Wilkie \ '* 1 Collins' drama,'-The Frozen Deep." There j''' t was literally a gasp of applause when the {' - curtain descended, and the conversation J j i! ' that ensued during the interval that pre- ^ f ceded the farce was composed of a lauda- | - ; tory criticism of details. To gain the cool, ! !" r ' deliberate a]'probation of such an audience j U1 - { was no small triumph. The ringleaders of ; ir j conversation on such occasions arc men, ! e ! who. to use a common phrase, are "up to : I everything,'* especially in matters connect- ' al , j cd with public amusement, an4 whose or- | J ' g:in or veneration is by no means largely j S! e j developed. Tlic-v would rather grasp an a I opportunity for quizzing the ridiculous tlian j a! " | seize an occasion for admiring the sublime. |> When such as these not only murmur forth , j1 a ' their admiration, but discuss the causes of j 'j ! it, who among an audience, could raise n ! t dissentient voice ? The performance of Mr. Dickens as the 11 vindictive and (afterward) penitent Uichard u s ; Waidour is, in the truest sense of the \ word, a creation. Nay, we may go fur- ^ k ( ther and say that is the creation of a liter- j ^ ary man?that is doubtful whether any : ,l! " , mere actor, unless under the influence of | irwiins uMr.toruinnry sympainy Willi Hie i ; pail assume.l, would attempt to fill up an w ! outline willi tliat elaborate detail tliat is 1- introduced l>v Mr. Dickens into Mr. Col- [' v ! lin's sketch. We feel that if Mr. Dickens >, liad had to describe in nan alive from the situ- ! ^ at ions of the Frozen Deep, instead ol ac- j st e ling them, lie would have covered whole 1 pages in recording those manifestations of , - ; emotion which,not having his pen in his ' - ' hand, he now makes by the minutes ..varia ^ 3 j lions of the voice and gesture. Where an I ordinary artist would look for "points" of P I j effect, he looks for "points" of truth. A j i- j specimen of humanity in which every ! i twitch of every muscle can be accounted { f j for is to be witli all I lie chd>oration of ae- | J ; tual natnre, no matter whether it be admi \ ,c red or not. j >' j When Richard Wardour tells the story , w 2 : ofliis disappointment in love, there is am- j w - ; pie opportunity for such noisy grief and i n( , | m:.ny a stride to the foot light?, hut Mr. ! *1' ? ; Dickens dares to keep down his voice ! s j through the whole of the narrative.?The j i effect may be monotonous?but what of ,n r that ? lie who talks not for the sake of j - display,but simply that ho may relieve his I *il t mind from an oppressive and almost ha* ; 1 miliating burden, will necefrsnrily he mon- ; otonous. A man louder under the sense of '' t wrong would have excited less uneasiness > in his confidant. But such a man as Mr>; a.' b Dickens presents?a man strong in the rl t : command of his voice, but weak in sup- P1 ) ' pressing the language of his eyes and faci- , J^( j al muscles?a man whoso constant at- j *' ; tempts to hide the internal storm bjr slight , | simulations of good fellowship only renders j re > j more conspicuous the vastness of that | - I which he would conceal?a man who lias ' J, ; a habit of losing his temper in a manner i ! tliat mere external circumstances do not j i warrant?such a man is a just object of tcr- ! , | ror. Kit-hard Wardour, as depicted hj* I Mr. Dickons in the second act of iJiq Fro- . ?' r zen Deep, is the most perfect representation of dogged vindictivencss that the imagiuu- ni . lion could conceive.

Tlioy confided in hint 1 a body of principle, and had no doubts i i to bis uprightness and morality, until >out bis fourteenth year. When at that I ye, be was seen to leave the bouse every 'ening after tea, and to be often away I itil late at night. The family began to ' ? afraid that lie was getting into corrupt 1 ubits, and notwithstanding bis assurance , tat lie would do notliinsr 'hat whould ren r Iiiin unworlliy of .. .fir esteem and ; ieiulship, they foil uneasy, lie scorned ! ic idea of abusing their confidence, hut as 2 persisted iu the practice of going away, ' length tliey determined to find out what as the cause of it. Accordingly one iglit a plan wns laid by "which he was aeked. After pursuing his trail for some ! istiince in the pines, lliey come to an old lit, in which was Mr. Wceins, surrounded y the bare headed, hare-footed, and half ad children of the neighborhood, whom e had been in tlie habit of thus gathering ound him at night, in order to give them ist ruction. '"I acknowledge that lie was in the habit F having the servants assembled in private ' onses, where lie would spend tlic night, ' nd recite a portion of Scripture, for he ' i-ver read it out of a book, and perhaps ' ly something to them, or in the prayer, ; bout. them, but then it was in such a way ! ! only to produce merriment amoncr tlicni ml tlie children. This 1 have experienced i my own family and ;it. my mother's ; aiul nvc heard others testify to the same. 1 ' o not tjiink he could have long even pre- ' >nd?d to l?e the rector of any parish, rorn my earliest knowlendgo of him be as a travelling bookseller for Mr. Matthew 1 'wry, of Philadelphia, visiting all the States"' oath of Philadelphia, and perhaps some J forth of it. in a little wn-rnn witli l>i< i r* ? * a constant companion to amu-e himself . ml otliers. If lie would pray with the rvants at night in their owner's house, he ould play the fiddle on tlie roa<ls'ule fur loin l?y day. One instance of his good jiture is well attested. At the old tavern i Carolina county, Virginia, called the | Hiitc Chimneys, Mr. Wecms and some rolling players or puppet showmen met , igether one night. A notice of some ex- i ibition had been given, and the neighbor- ! ood had assembled to witi.ess it. A lid- ! Ic was necessary to the full peiformance, ; nd that was wanting. Mr. Wecms sup- i lied the deficiency. ' lie was of a very enlarged charity in | II respects. Though calling himself an piscopal minister, he knew no distiiu tion f churvhes. He preached in every pulpit j > which he could gain access, and where I 0 coultl recommend liis books. Ilis books j ore of nil kinds. Mr. Gary, liis einplyer, ' as a Ilonian Catholic, but dealt in all man ?r of books. On one election or conrt day , Fairfax Court House, I one day, in |>assig to or fiom the upper country, found [r. WceniK with a book ease full for sale 1 the portico of the tavern ; on looking at j iern,l saw rain's Age of Ileason and ta- , ing it into my hand, turned to him and iked if it was possible that he could sell ich a book. He immediately took out the ishop of LnndafTs answer, and "Heboid ic Antidote." ''The Dane and Antidote e both byfore you." He carried this spu- j ous charity into the sermons. In my own jlpit, at the old chapel, in my absence, it | iing my Sunday in Winchester, he extolled , om Paine, and one or more noted infidels I America, nnd paid if their ghosts could i turn to the earth, they would be shocked , > near the tnlshootfs that were tol.l of them. ! charged him with what I had heard of is sermon, and well remember that even j wa^ confused and speechless.
