Hut whether rigidly reserved or I'limrnlly free in his occasional munifesta tuais of a peculiarity ofhearing, the mind of the distinguished gentleman never, in his p.ilmiesi hours of oratory or social cheer, shone forth with an mlenser sparkle, or a more rapid research. (Jems of poetry, stores of epigram, a wealth of remembered couplet ami anecdote tlowed from his tongue il hi min a ted by an originality of diction and delivery, as well as improvised statement, which were so characteristic yet inimitable in llm man.

He would talk much, at times most willingly. His- mind ran mainly on politics, lie was full ofdhesilualion of the country. Singular to relate, not once did his memoir nt men, parlies, and candidates lail him. lie retained that minute knowl edge ol tin l political Insiurv of tlie past and of the present political complexion thuldis tinguished him when in health. Ilis anx iety for the restoration ol the Union was intense in his illness, and in his liie. Could those fervid appeals of the dying statesman and patriot have been preserved bovond the occasion that gave them birth, they had been most interesting and sacred. Forget ful of himself and his intense pains, Ids reason errant on all else, still appreciated ami was alive with the peril ol the land which lie loved with nil the fervor of his nature. A TOUCIiINO SCENE. On Friday this supreme anxiety of Mr. A un-Buren for the restoration of the Uniou showed itsolt in an instance which is proba bly one oltlie mostremarkabluinmortuary history, lie was feeling physically better. Ilis mind showed, however, no increase of directness or clearness upon general topics or upon any or all, excepting that singular intensity with which lie contemplated the distracted condition of tho country. While half reclining, half sitting up, supported by tlie arm of his daughter and niece on either side, Mr. Van Buren’s eyes lighted up wiih an unusual brilliancy, and even in his posi tion he seemed to expand to the eye with the pride and port of the orator of other days. The narrow cabin became a vast auditorium to his view, tho few friends a mighty audi ence, but more than all, the interests of tho oo unt,ry rose supreme in his mind and compelled utlerauce. Fie began a speech on national atlairs, and concluded it not until ho bad spoken without interruption two anda quarter hours. Thegentlomenurouud Ins bed say that it was in all respects worl by ol and in some superior to, his happiest efforts. At the lirsi he rapidly and per spicuously photographed the progress, the purposes, and the problems of the late war and emphasized the pledged faith of the government that it could and should ulti mate only in a secured Union of free and equal States. He then adverted to the efforts ot Mr. Johnson to carry out that pledge iu letter and spirit, and to liuye for bis insui ration land guide the unmistakable com mands of the Constitution, and the gener ous magnanimity of the people. This p lu .i of this most remarkable address was fol lowed by a scarification of Congress in terms of satire, eloquence and reproach of which none were so capable as he. A rapid review of policy of reunion and disunion next ensued, and he thought he was once more addressing his fellow-citizens in his native State. The subject was presented with splendid reference to the material in terests and historic greatness of the Empire lancastcr ilntdliounccv. VOLUME 67. State imperatively demanding that she plant herself square on the side of a per fected Union of equal honored States. At the close Mr. Van Kuren pronounced u oulogy upon the worth, the talent, the in tegrity of Hon. John T. Hoffman, such us only a man of his strong lntlmuoy with the subject oi his pruise, und that Intensity of personal attachment, of which he develop ed such u romurkablo amount, could so gracefully, so sincerely, and so magnetically pronounce. As a piece of composition, whether viewed us u literary, an argument ative, or un orutorical production, this dy ing uddress was in all respects no less a credit to the National reputation of the speaker, than it was a vindication and tribute to the cause and motives that evoked Its utterunco. THK FINAL HOUR. After the delivery of this extraordinary und ulfocting nddress, Mr. Vun Buren re lapsed into a slate of more care and plati tude than ho hud manifested since the be ginning of his illness. He seomed more comfortable in body and mind was not either so petulent or restless, and passed a comparatively easy night on Friday. On Saturday the condition was the same. Up to this time no immediate apprehension of a fatal result had been felt. Mr. Vh Hunm's attendants, and he himself, in his lucid seasons, thought ho would got better on landing, and quickly recover the tone of his mind and system. His fever still con tinned, hut his pain wus more occasional. On Saturday evening he appeared more hopeful thun ever, and noticed with that eminent courtesy of his the presence and attendance of his devoted niece, and daughter, und his friends. They left him, us was their wont, shortly afler 10 P, M.. in the expectation of his passing a not usually easy night, .Just before the dork was mi the stroke of eleven Mr. Vun’ Huron signified lo the nurse his desire to rise and in proceeding to assist him, the nurse suw that imperceptibly but fearfully, rapidly, a decisive change had come over the counte nance of the sufferer. He did not speak, nor seemed able lo do so. The Morality had left Ids face. 11 Is eyes appeared vacant. The end was coming. Ur. Hr ice, the surgeon, was called. He came. As he supported Mr. Van Huron, and just as his daugh ter and niece woroentering in answer to the summons sent them. Ins head Jell Imi-k upon (In* pillow, and lie (iicd\ without a struggle or tlie least visible pain, a smile spreading over his lio'o in dissolution ns il' he were at last at rest und in peace. 1 1 was ten minutes jiasl elevam al night. The cause of his sud den depart tire when in apparently nol an Immediately dangerous condition wasow lug, il was supposed, lo there having been a severe and oumpluteeoilupscof the powers in that pari of the system affected by the malady. The body of the deceased was properly and promptly laid out,and placed in a temporary collln, which rested in the bout just, suspended beyond the wheelhouse on the port side olTho ship. Al Iho request of the Misses Van Kuren, the desire ol the passengers to declare lliulr sympathy and cnndmencu for them, und ihclr mi ni I rat lon for I he distinguished dui'eased, by a public meeting, was withheld expression. When Ihe Scotia arrived yesterday the tidings of the dentil of Mr. Van Kuren created it profound grief and surprise in the circles of all parlies, und In every social and business centre ofthe city. Major (icncrul Uix, Uol lectors my l he, and Surveyor Wak". man, assisted by the Uemocrullc Slab' Cen tral Committee, through Uon.S. ,1.

The llags of tho city will remain hull'-musted, until the final in terment, which is expected will be at the family ground at Klnderhook. The Evening Star Disaster, Painful Details—-Frightful Roches oil Hoard—-An Hour of Agony—-Terrible Suffering and I,ohh of Idle. The propeller Virgo arrived at New York oil Sunday Hum Savannah, with three of the survivors of the steamer Kvening Stax on board—the purser, Kllery S. Alleu, chief enginoer, Robert Finger, and a passenger, W. 11. Harris. The stuteinunts ot the pur ser und engineer are brief, being in sub stance that the vessel began toleak early in the hurrieane, grew more unnmnagable un til she’ went down at daybreak of the fid inst. The narrative of the passenger gives more details, and is a thrilling story of his own and his companions’ suffering. The following is one of the statements: STATKMIiNT OF MR. W. H. HARRIS. Thu Evening Star, Capt. Knapp, sailed from New York, Sept. 21), for New Orleans. <)n thu morning of the 2d of October it be gun to blow pretty hard, and continued to increase gradually’ until the morniug of the Ad, when it blew a perfect hurricane. At this time we were 180 miles east of Tyber Island. After weathering the storm for fourteen hours, she foundered at daylight nn tho morning of the .‘id, with two hun dred and seventy-five aouis on board, only sixteen of whom were saved. About ”f> o'clock on themorning of the 2d it began to blow very hard. 1 stood in the doorway ol'what was called thu “social hall," which is a little saloon at the head of the stair way leading to the main saloon. This sa loon was tilled with ladies at this time. At <> o'clock the vessel commenced to ship such heavy seas that the llonr of the hall was covered with water, and made it very disa greeable for the ladies to remain there. At 11..‘50 o'clock all hands wore called on deck to hail water out of the enguie room, the seas having washed down over the vessels and into the room, A party of men went forward and succeeded in getting the water all out of there. We lmd some trouble with tho French men of the < )pera Troupe, in consequence of their not being able to understand Eng lish. However, they did their bust, and worked willingly when they understood what to do. At 2 o'clock the men were all tired with hard work, and, as the water continued to gain upon us, we gave up all as lost. The water at this time was six feet- feet deep in thu hold, and thu ship was rolling about in tho tempest like a log, Hie waves breaking over her in quick succes sion. However, all was done that eould be done, and as darkness came on, most of the passengers went below. At o o’clock next morning I went on deck, and the sight that there met my gaze can never be erased from my memory. At daylight, on look ing around, I found tlie ship, sure enough, a total wreck, and the sight one to make the stoutest heart quail. The whole of the paddle boxes had been carried away, no thing but the fans being left. The pilot house was gone, and the guards also. The sea wu.s running mountains high, the spray blowing about like rain, and the wind rushing through the rigging und about the dismantled ship. The hurricane was now at its height. 1 forgot to mention that the engine stopped working at 2 o’clock in the morning, in consequence of the breaking of. the steampipe, and the fires being put out. The donkey engine was therefore also use less. At daylight tho captain told tho women that nothing more could be done, and that if any of them wauted to get into the boats they could do so. Mr. Allen, tlie purser, then came with the ladies out of tho cabin. All those who could get life-preservers hud them, and they were very few. Fie placed them iu a boat, but she no sooner touched the water Hum she capsized, and all were washed away. The ship all this time was filling last; I stood by some hatches, intending to hold on to them n'ong with several women, when we shipped a heavy sea forward of the wheelhousu on the starboard side, and went down. In an iustaut the sea swept me clear oi the deck, and carried me down some twenty-five feet, I thought. When I came to the surface, 1 found myself in the midst of the wreck ol die vessel, surrounded by lloating spars and drift wood. Men and women were floating all about, clinging to anything they could lay ho.d of. All shouts for aid were "drowned by the fury of the hurricane. I got hold of a piece of tho frag ments of the saloon, upon which I pulled myself, but was thrown off again and again by the violence of the waves, in each new effort to regain my position, lacerating niy hands and limbs on tbe nails and splinters in the pieces of wreck. In this way I clung to life for two or three hours. While drifting about in this way I could see tlie whole of the wreck as it lay before me. I saw the hurricane deck, two hundred feet along, crowded with human beings, herded together. Some of these were stand ing, and some sitting, all helpless and despairing. T now drifted near a life-boat, keel up, for which I abandoned my piece of wreck and swam. Others were clinging to it, whom I assisted to right it. When I suc ceeded in getting in with the others I recog nized the purser, Mr. Allen. There were now ten of us, but after this we were fre quently upset, each time losing one or more of our number, again adding to them by picking up others. Helpless to manage the boat, which was filled with water aud drift ing ut the mercy of the sea, we passed and repussed the wreck during the day. Towards eveuing we lost sight of it. We had been sitting in water all day long, and when night came on we began to I'eeT the want of food and water, but we had neither. Just after dark I picked up a turnip, of which we each i “°k a bite, ana this was all we ate during the day. We were now so dry that some drank Bea water, which made them very flighty, while others drank their own urine, which answered better, The morning of tho fourth was very fine, so we determined to get tho watorout of our boat. At daylight we came up to one of tho wrecked, who was floating on a piece of the cabin, and had an oar with which to guide his cruft. We got alongside and put some of the men on it, after which we upset our boat, thus getting the water out of it. We then got in again, und feltcomparutivo ly comfortable, but still suffering for tho want of food und water. We then rigged two musts out of pieces of the wreck, and made sails out of the covering of the life preservers. We then heuded east-north east. At 8 o’clock we fell in with the third mate, with nine men in another life-boat, who gave each of us a handful of crackers ; but, unfortunately, our throats were so parched with the long thirst, and by drink ing sea water, we wuro unable to swallow this food. The two boats then part ed company, we taking a more northerly direction limn the other. Ato o’clock, on the nth, we fell in with the Nor wegian bark Fleetwing, from Utilize, Hon duras, for Liverpool, who took us on board. Here we remained thirty-three hours. On tho Oth spoke the schooner .1. Waring, Capl. Frank Smith, from New York for Apala chicola, Florida. This vessel having suf fered in the gule and got crippled, she put into Savunnah for repairs, while wo were on hoard Hie Waring the captain and crew did all In their power to relieve our wants, even at their own discomfort. While we were Moating in the life-boni, a young woman, about eighteen years of age, caught hold with us and ehmgoii for several hours. She held on while we enpsi/.ed three times, Imt kept growing weaker. Al last we were turned over again, and she was lost. Wo nil got very much exhausted and could senicely hold on lo the hunt ; Mr. Allen be calm. 1 very weak, and would have been lost but for assistance given him. We were nil hruised more or less, mid the suit water made our wounds very painful. Captain Knapp (Ini his duly faithfully throughout, doing all m his power lo save his ship, and when la* found there was no hope, contributed much lo preservingorder among tho passengers ain I cn*w. 11 c Moated for some time, but while clinging to one of the life-bonis la* was struck mi the head hy a piece of limber and killed. < Hi our arrival al Savannah, the purser, Mr. Allen, did everything llrnl was in his power lo make Us comfortable, We had lost everything, and even Ha* dollies we had on woruruiued hy our long exposure in the water. New suits were given us, and passage to New Y"Hv secured for us on the propeller Virgo, On hoard this latter vessel we received every attention from the olfieors, Wu were all very much sunburned while in ihuonwi boat, and during our passage home the sldii peeled oil' our faces ami hands. lam still lame and sore, Imt will ho all right in a few days. One of the passengers on board Hie Kvening Star was (’apt, Joseph I*. Robin son, of Hoslon, a hruvu and gallant man. He was oiiy of llie coolest men mi board Hie Avreck, and labored manfully losave the shin and lo calm the fears of the women ami frightened men, lie struggled hard for Ills Hie, hut was struck by a piece of the lloalliig wreck and went down, The women on board the ship behaved nobly during Hie terrible sconces of tin* tempest, yielding a ready compliance to all orders given them. There were about forty prostitutes on board the ship, but they hail behaved with great propriety from Hie first. '1 here were but two or three exceptions to this, und they were not particularly bud. Most ofthe women had been obliged to re main in their rooms or in the saloons, pre vious to tho storm, owing to tho rough weather. Many ol them were sea-sick, as, indeed, were many of tho men. One of the prostitutes, who un* the proprietress of uil olebunt house of ili-laine in New Orleans, had a bountiful pair of ponies on board anu a lino now carriage. They were all anx ious to work when dunger appeared, and some of them did good service. Captain Robinson, referred to in the state ment of Mr. Harris, was u member of the firm of Huuvo A* Robinson, and was re turning to New Orleans, where his house had a branch store. Captain Robinson was a son of Rev. J. 1\ Robinson, u well-known Kpiseopai clergyman in Hoslon. The cap tain was one of the earliest volunteers in the late war, and was connected with Ihe Uoturnac army through all its vicissitudes, lie was detached from the regiment in which he enlisted ami attached lo the United States engineer corps. In all the bloody battles wherein he had taken part he escaped with hardly a scratch, llis destiny proved Lo have been to escape the perils of the battle-field and meet a watery grave. Among tho passengers ou the ill-fated steamship whose names did not appear in the published list, were Lieut. W. P. Dixou, of the .Sixth United States cavalry, who graduated at tlie United Stales military academy at West Point, in June lust; also Wyldo Hurdinge, of tlie late Confederate privateer ship Shenandoah, lie was the husband of Belie Boyd, who is now in New York city. The Pony and the Hand Organ The Paris correspondent of the Nation, gossipping about Franconi’s circus, gives this glimpse of pains-taking be hind the scenes: A writer inoneoftliepopular journals hero, apropos of the surprising feats of the animals now performing at Hrau eoni’s new establishment, has given the public the benefit of his researches into the matter, and tells to a listening world how tlie featofplayingonaharrel-organ was taught to a horse belonging to a trainer with whom he happened to be acquainted. It seems that the horse in question had already, under the lessons of his master, developed an unusual degree of intelligence, his eyes in particular be coming so full of expression that one could hardly doubt that lie under stood very much of what was said to him. But liis leanness was such that he had become a mere skeleton. His master had great hopes of him. Fie had been iu training about a year, ami hud already learned to lie down ami gel up as ordered, to enact the dead horse, to fire a pistol, and to give which ever of his fore hoofs was asked for. At length tlie professor began the task of teaching this promising pupil to turn a barrel organ; but either this particular species of exercise was repugnant to his tastes, or the sound of the organ was disagreeable to his ears. Certain it was that the animal, usually so docile, was resolute iu his refusal to touch the handle of the barrel organ. Fiis pre ceptor hud labored the point for a month without being able to vanquish tlie re pugnance of tlie horse for the object so constantly presented to his att ntion. Coaxings, caresses, and the whip were employed in turn, and equally without success. On these occasions the horse’s eyes expressed as clearly as though he had spoken it in so many words, the absolute determination not to touch the handle of the orgau. The trainer, though naturally of a violent temper, was always patient aud gentle with his equine pupil. When ever he felt that the obstinacy of the horse was on the point of getting the better of his apparent calmness, he would leave the stable to give vent to his irritation out of sight or hearing of the animal. To those who prophesied that the horse would never turn the handle of jjthe organ he replied, “He shall turn it or die.” At length, perceiving that he made no progress in the work of vanquishing the animal’s obtinacy, he caused the windows of the stable to be stuffed with hay aud then boarded over, so that not a ray of light was visible, and a couple of men, hired for that purpose, beat a drum incessantly beside the animal’s stall, relieving one another at stated intervals. The struggle was continued for four days and nights, during which the professor returned to the charge once every hour, presenting the handle of the orgau to his refactory pupil, re newing his command to the latter to take hold of it. rhe neighborhood was beginning to threaten the trainer with a summons betore the police court to answer to the charge of disturbing its slumbers with the perpetual beating of the horrible drum, when the unfortunate horse com prehended at last that there was no other chance of deliverance left to him, suddenly seized the handle of the organ with his teeth and turned with all the liltte strength that was left him Day light was at once restored to the stable the drummers were dismissed, all pos sible caresses and the finest oats were lavished on the new docile scholar who never forgot the terrible lessons of his four days’ struggle, but whatever may have been the sentiments with which he regarded the operation, never failed vigorously to turn the handle of the barrel-organ whenever the word of com mand was given. LANCASTER, PA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 24 1866 Charles Dickens. Home Ufo of Bos. [From Every Saturday.J I bad long felt an ardent deßlre to make the acquaintance of the eminent author whose works, and especially whose David Copperneld, I had read and re-read. Informed or this desire, my old neighbor, Paul Feval (who is the most obliging fellow in Christen* dom) offered me a letter of introduction to Charles Dickens, which I accepted with alacrity. The moment I reached London I ask ed for the celebrated novelist’s address. I was told that “ Charles Dickens lived at Gadshiil, about twenty-four miles from Loudon by rail.” I wrote to Mr. Dickens the next day. The following morning I received a note, In very good French, and in a fine, regular hand, which formed a marked contrast with the terrible scrawl of your humbleservaut. Mr. Dickens informed me in this note that lie was scarcely ever absent from home, except on Saturdays, (when he went to London to superin tend tlie publication of his last novel, which appeared in numbers! und In vited me to come out to see him. The railway from London to (iadshill is built on tlie right bunkoftheTlmmes, and runs parallel with the river almost the whole way; consequently the jaunt is a very pleasant one. The train takes about an hour to run the distance, so ut the end of fin minutes I got out of the railway carriage at Uudshil! station; and, us 1 had not Informed him of my coming, I hail to walk up tlie hill ou whose summit lies the village in wliich is Mr. Dickens' residence. As I drew near tlie first house of the village, und was about to ask my way. I saw a gentlunuui coming up tlie hill behind me with firm and rapid step. He was a man about oil years old, of average height, good shape, straight as an arrow, with mouslaclte and goatee turning slightly gray, ami liuving the energetic iook and decisive air of our officers of the ChuMHcurs d’Atrlquu. 1 asked him, in execrable Kngllsli, "Will you.please to tell me which Is Mr. Dick ens’ house?'’ Thu gentleman replied in French, “Allow me to show you tliu way there. I am Charles Dickens. On tlie way Ini talked in the most friendly manner about Paul Feval, whose talents he esteems very highly, and üboul Feehter, with whom lie is extremely Intimate. 1 iioLiced that lie had a very sympathetic lone of voice, ami a clear and abrupt way of talking, which added lo his military manners. We reached his house, situated at an angle of tiie village, in front of il lay a lawn stretching to the road. A large garden, likewise belonging to Mr. Dick ens, lies on the oilier side of the road; it is reached by a subLurrancau passage under the road. The Hluble*yuni, tlie stables, and carriuge-liouses are ou the right of the house. Like moat Kugllsh cottages, Mr. Dickeua’ is plainly built and kept up with tlie moat perfect order. It la uot more than two stories high. As you enter, there is a small drawing room ou the right, containing Mr. Dickens’ library ; next is Mr. Dickens’ study, which is very plainly furnished, and has no oruameut except two or three bronzes. Tlie windows open on a sort of garden surrounding the house, and, as the house stands on a high piece of ground, an exteusive view of the neigh boring country may be enjoyed from them. Ou the left is the large drawing room, filled with everything to make oue comfortable, and decorated with great luxury, but with no attempt ut show. Perfect taste reigns over every thing. Tlie drawing room opens into the dining room; under tlie dining room is the kitchen. Above these rooms are tlie bed-chambers, wliich are irreg ularly distributed, bjt they are ex tremely comfortable ami profusely fur nished with those needful and vast utensils which are indispensable to the toilette of every Englishman. After talking for a few minutes in his study, Mr. Dickeus introduced me to his family. It consisted that day of his daughter and sister-in-law. lie lias several other children, as many as six or eight, I believe; but his sons, kept in London by their professions, rarely come out to see him, exeepton Sundays. Another of his daughters is married to a cousin of Wilkie Collins the author of “Tlie Woman in Wliite.” The daughter I had the honor to meet at Gadshiil is a young and beautiful lady of twenty, whose courteous aud kind features are a good deal like those of her father. Both of the ladiesspoke French and their conversation had a French turn, which was probably due to the annual visit they make to Paris. Dick ens is very fond of France and tlie French. Dickens’ favorite time lor working is in the morniug. He rises very early aud sets to work at ouee. iie lightly breakfasts at about half past nine, and continues to work until twelve o’clock. At this hour lie lunches. After lunch he goes out into the lieids, and does noL return home until half-past six o’clock. He walks every day some eight or ten miles. Jfe walks rapidly. Dickens’ writing is us I have said, fine aud regular. It is not unlike Paul Feval’s hand. He keeps and luis had bound the manuscript of some of his works. It seems to me his favorite novel is "David Copperfield." How ever, lie rarely speaks of his woiks; but wlicm lie is driven to talk of them, lie talks about himself with rare impartial ■ ity, without vanity, and without false modesty. 11 is conversation is striking by its vivacity, natural tone, and the absence of every thing like humbug and studied at titude. C diaries Dickens possesses a remarka ble talent for reading. He reads admi rably and with wonderful spirit. I have been told by several persons that he acts comedy with rare perfection, and that it was formerly one of his favorite amusements. He is, as I have already said, on an intimate footing with Fetch er, wiio has obtained an immense suc cess in the part of Hamlet, and who is now tlie manager and one of the chief actors of the Lyceum Theatre. After my first excursion to Gadshill I returned there with M. and Mme. Fech ter, ami stayed two or three days with him. It is impossible for anybody to be more amiable and kind to guests than are Mr. Dickens aud all his family. There are two enormous Newfound land dogs in the yard, which visitors are warned not to approach too near, and two small dogs of more friendly humor. There is very little seen of the servants in his or in any other English house. The service is performed rapidly and noiselessly, and nobody seems to pay it attention. Dickens’ favorite wine is Bordeaux wine. Dickens is extreme ly hospitable. He is fond of receiving company informally and intimately every day of the week, and especially .Sunday, despite the English custom, which is beginning to be modified some what on this subject. A happy and kindly nature, his eminently sympa thetic influence is a charm which works on every one brought in contact with him. Victoria’s Five Daughters, Queen Victoria has five daughters. The oldest is the wife of the. Crown Prince of Prussia. She is destined to become the future Queen of Prussia. The second, Alice, is the wife of Hesse- Darmstadt whose principality has been lately absorbed by Prussia. The third, Helena, became recently the wife of the Prince of Teck, who is aPrince without a principality. Two remain unmarried —Lousie, who is in her eighteenth year and Beaetrice, who is in her ninth. What is to be done with Louise, now that most of the Protestant German Princes have been ousted from their petty thrones by Prussia? There is only one Protestant Prince now avail able foi royal conjugal purposes, and he is the brother of the Princess of Wales King George of Greece. Mr. Gladstone is consequently, to proceed to enter upon this delicate negotiation. Her proposed husband was a mere youth, who dances well, and is fond of good cigars, and is tolerably good looking. He might make an admirable clerk in a millinery store, but is altogether out of his place as the chief of the spirited Greek nation. A. Ward at Shakespeare’s Tomb. [From the London Punch, Sept, 20.1 Mb. Punch, My Dear Sib; I’ve been lingerin by the tomb of the la meutld Suakspeare. It is a success. I do not hes’tate to pronounce it as such. You may make any use of this opin ion that you see fit. If you think its publication will subswerve tlie cause of iitteratoor, you may publicate it. I told my wife Betsy when I lefthome that I should go to the birthplace of “Otheller” aud other Plays. She said that as long as I kept out of Newgate she didn’t care where I went. “But,” 1 said, “don’t you know he was the greatest Poit that ever lived? Not one of these common poits, like that young idyit who writes verses to our daugh ter, about the Roses as growses, and the breezes as Blowses but a Boss Poit—also a philosopher, also a man who knew a great deaf about everything.” .She was packing my tilings at tlie time, und the only answer she made was to usk me if I wasgoin to carry both of my red flannel night caps. Yes. I’ve been to Stratford onto the Avon, the birthplace of Shakspear. Mr. S. is now no more. He’s been dead over throe hundred (300) years. Tlie people of his native town are justly proud of him. They cherish his mem’ry, and them as Hell picturs of his birth pluce, &e., make it prof’tible chcrishln it. Almost everybody buys a pictur to put iuto their Albiom. As I stood gazing on the spot where Shakspeure is s’posed to have fell down on tlie ice und hurt hisself when a boy (this spot cannot be bought—the town authorities suy it shull never be taken from Stratford), i wondered if three hundred years hence picturs of nfy blHhpluee will be in demumi? Wiil the pcpb» of my native town be proud of me in three hundred years? J guess they won’t short ol thut lime, because they suy the fat man welghiu l,()iiu pounds wliich I exhibited there was stuffed out wilh plllcrs uud cushions, which lie said one very hotduy in July. “Oli bother, I eun'l stand tills,” ami commenced pullln the plllcrs out from under his weskil ‘utulheavln ’em atthe audience. I never saw a man lose llcsh so lust In my life. Tlie audience said 1 was a pretty man to come chiselln my own townsmen in that way. i said “Do not be angry, feller-citizens. I ex hibited him simply as a work of art. ! simply wished to show you that a man could grow I'al without the aid of cod liver oil.” But they wouldn’t listen to me. They arc a low audgrovclln set of pcplc, who excite a I'uelln of loath 1 n In every brest where lorfly emotions and original Idees have a bldln place. I stopped al Leamington a fuwmlnit* on my way to Sirulford.onto the Avon, aud a very beautiful town il is. I went into a shoe shop to make a purchis, and as I entered I saw over lliu door those dear familiar words," Hy Appointment : H. U. H., and 1 said to the man, “ Squire, excuse me, but this is too much. 1 liave seen in Londou four hundred bootand shoe uhopsbyAppoint meut: H K. H.; and now you're at it. It is simply onpossible that tlie Prince can wear 400 pairs of boots.” “Don’t tell me,” 1 said, in a voice clicked with emotion —“ Oh, do not tell me that you also make boots for him. Say slippers —say that you mend a boot now and then for him; but do not tell me that you make ’em reg’lar for him.” The man smilt, and said I didn’t un derstand these things. He suid 1 per haps liuil not noticed in Londou that dealers in all sorts of articles was By Appintment. 1 said, "Ob, hadn't I?” TLxeu a sudden thought fiasiit over me. " 1 have it!” 1 said, "When tlie Price walks through a street, he no doubt looks at the shop windows.” Tiie man said, " No doubt,” "Aud tlie eulerprisin’ tradesman,’ I continued, “ the moment the Prince gets out of sight, rushes frantically, and has a tin sign painted, By. Appintmint, H. R. IL! It is a beautiiul, a great idee!” I then bought a pair of shoe strings, and wnugiu the shopman’s honest hand, L started for tlie Tomb of Shaks peare in a hired liy. Il lookt, however, more like a spider. "And this,” I said, as I stood in the old church-yard at .“Stratford, beside a tomb stone, " this marks the spot where lies William W. JSliukspeare. Alars! and this is the spot where ” " You’ve got the wrong grave,” said a mail—a worthy villager: “ tihaks peare is buried inside the church.” “ Oh,” 1 said, "a boy told me this was it.” The boy larfed and put the shillin I’d given him into his left eye in a inglorious manner, aud commenced movin backwards towards the street. I pursood and captered liim, and after talkin to him a'spell in a skarcastic stile, I let him went. The old c'lntreh was damp and ehill. It was l'ainiu. The only persons there when I entered was a line bluff old gentleman, who was talkin in a excited manner to a fuslmibly dressed young man. “Mo, Ernest Montresser," the old gentleman said, “ it i 9 idle to pur soo this aulijeck no further. You can never marry my daughter. You were seen last in Piccadilly, without a umb reller! 1 said then, as 1 say now, any young mull as ventures out in a uncer tain climil like this without a ttmbrel ler, lacks foresight, caution, strength of mind, and stability, and lie is not the proper person to intrust a daughter’s happiness to.” 1 slapt tile old gentleman on the shoulder, and 1 said, “ You’r right! You’re one of those kind of men—you —are ” He wheeled suddenly round, and in a indiguaut voice said, “Go way—go way ! This is a privit iutervoo.” 1 didn’t stop to enrich the oldgeutle man's mind with my conversation. I sort of inferred that he wasn’t inclined to listen to me, and so I went on. Hut he was right übout the umbreller. I’m really delighted with this grand old country. Mr. Punch, but you must ad mit that it does rain raytliernumerously here. Whether this is owing to a mouerkal form of gov'ment or not, 1 leave all candid and unprejudiced per sons to say. William Shakspeare was born in Stratford in 15U4. AH the commenta ters, Shaksperian scholars, etsetry, are agreed on this, which is about the only thing they are agreed on in regard to him, except that his mantle hasn’t fallen onto any poet or dramatist hard enough tohurtsaidpoetor dramatistniueA. And there is no doubt if these commentaters and persons continner investigatin Shakspeare’s career, we shall not, in doo time, know anything about it at all. When a mere lad little 'William at tended the Grammer School, because, ashesaid, theGrammerSchool wouldn't attend him. This remarkable remark, comin from one so young and inex perunced, set peple to thiukin there might be somethin in this lad. He sub sequently wrote “ Hamlet ” and “ Geo. Barnwell.” When his kind teacher went to London to accept a position in the offices of the Metropolitan Railway, ittle William was chosen by his fellow pupils to deliver a farewell address. “ Go on,|Sir,” he said, “In a glorus career. Be like a eagle, and soar, and the soarer you get the more we shall all be grati fied! That's so.” , My young readers, who wish to know about Shakspeare, better get these val uable remarks framed. I returned to the hotel. Meetin a young married couple, they asked me if I could direct them to the hotel which Washington Irving Used to keep ? “I’ve understood that he was onsuc ceßsful as a landlord,” said the lady. “ We’ve understood,” said the young man, “that he busted up.” ~ , I told ’em I was a stranger, and hur ried away. They were from my coun try, and oudoubtedly represented a thrifty lie well somewhere in Pennsyl vany. It’s a common thing, by the way, for a old farmer in Pennsylvany to wake up some mornin and find lie squirtin all around his back yard. He sells out for 'normous price, and his children put on gorgeous harness and start on a tower to astonish peple. They succeed in doin it. Meantime the lie it squirts and squirts, and Time rolls on. Let it roll. A very nice old town is Stratford, and a capital Inn is the Red Horse. Every admirer of the great 8. must go there once certlnly ; ana to say one Isn't a admirer of him, Is equlv’lent to sayln one has just about brutuß enough to be come a efficient tinker. Some kind person has sent me Chaw cer’s Poems. Mr. C. had talent, but he couldn’t spel. No man has a right to be a lit'rary man onless he knows how to spel. It Is a pity that Chnwcer, who had geneyus, was so unedlcated. He's the wuss speller I know of. I guess I'm through, and so I laydown the pen, which is more mightier than the sword but which I’m fraid would stand a rayther slim chance beside the needle gun. Adoo! Adoo! Artemi's Ward. $ gating.
