CHARLES DICKENS’S OBITUARY OF IHACKE
RAY.
[From the OomUill Magazine.]
It has been observed by somo of the personal
friends of theigi eat English writer. who established
this magazine, that Us brief record 'of bis having
been etncfeen from, among men should he written
by iho old comraiie-und.brother in arms who pans
these lincs r mud-of whom he oft-n wrote himself,
and always with the warmest geu^rosity.
• I saw him first," nearly twenty-eight years ago,
wberLhe'prdposert to become the illustrator of my
earliest booh I ! saw him• his?.,- ’shortly before
Christmas, at.theAihencn.um.Ulub, when he to d
me that ho bad been in bed thre>* days—di it, after
these he was" troubk-d w:ta cold shiver*
logs, “which quite took tkepovv<>rot' work ou
of-hipi ’’—and that lie-had it in hi? mind to try :v
ncw-xemedy which langbmgiy described: Hi
was vety cheerful* and looked Very bright. In
the night of that day week, he .died.
• The Jong interval between those two periods is
marked in my remembrance o? ni-n. by many occa
sions when ho was supr-m-ly humorous, when he
•was irresistibly extravagant,' wheu he was soft
ened and serious, : whn he way charm ug with
children.' Bui, by- none do I r**cUl him more ten
duly than bi'tw.o or three that etartout ,;f the crawl
when he unexpectedly presented himself in. my
room, annpuncingnqw that some passage in a cer
taiii boolc h*»d •made him 'cry yesterday, and aow
that ho had come to dinner * 4 oecanseh-cou ! da* ?
help it, ’ ’ and must task.such, passage over. No
one can ever have more genial,-natural,
and houesilv -impulsive, than I
hay© seen him p.t tuose ♦icnea. No oaecai b
surer, than. 1*.,0f the greatness and goodness of th i.
heart thatiUen.di<cJosed itself!
We had oundifferemces of opinion. I thought that
hetoo Infuch reigned a want of earnestness, ant
thathemade a.pieteuce oCundervaluing Ills art,
which'wa? npt-.gqoti .for. the art that U 4 held, iri
trust;; But'when- we fell upon these topics. It
was n^'ver.very gravely, and I have a lively im*
age of : him in my .mind, twisting botn his 'hauls
. ihhisbair! and stampingabout, laughing,’to nuke
an enjiof the .discussion
When we were associated in "emembrauce of the
Jnte Mr. Dougina Jerroldi he delivered a public
lfectnre in Ebiidon, inthe'eonrse of which he rea 1
his very best contribution to Pune 1 ?, describing ah
grown-up--crwvs. of *. a poor family -of - young
children. No oneJiearinghim could havodonbtc a
his natural gen lleness. or Irs thoroughly unaftbete l
manly sympathy with the weak and lowly. H*
read the paper most pathetically, and with asim
plicity of tenderness that certainly moved one of bis
audience- to tears. This was” presently after
his .standing 1 or Oxford, from
which place he had dispatched his -. agent
ome with a droll note (to which ha afterwards
added a verbal postscript), urging me to l -com>
down and make a speech,-and te i thom.whohe
* was, for lie doubted whether more than two of the
electors had- ever heard of him, and be thought
there might be , ;is .many as six or eight who had
heard of meße.introduced the lecture just
" mentioned,-.with a reference to his late electioneer
ing failure, which was full of good sense, good
spirit®, srid g«od humor. ' . . ■
He hada particular delight in boys, and a \,-ex
cellent .way withthem. I r remember his once
asking me with fantastic gravity,. when : he hid
been to Eton, where my eldest son then was,
whether I-felt,as lie did in .regard, of never seeing
aboy without wanting in-tanliy to give him a
sovereignl . I thought of this when I looked down
into his grave,-after he was laid there, for I looked
down into it over the shoulder of a -boy to-whom
to whom hq had been kind.
Thege are slight remembrances, but it is to little
familiar things suggestive of the voice, look, man
ner, never, never more;to be .encountered on this
earth, that the mind first turns in. a bereavement.
And greater tfcihg&that are known of .him, in the
way ofhis warm affections, his quiet endurance,
his unselfish thought fulness for others, and his
.munificept hand,;may not be told.
lf, in : the. reckless' Vivacity of his youth, his
satirical pbn had ever gone astray or done amiss,
he had* cans edit to prefer its. own petition for for
giveness, lbngd?efort'; ■>,
I* ve writ, the foolish tmev of bis brain;
The hiinless jeat thit, striking hath caused pain;
The idle word that he’d wish back again.
Ihriopagesshouldltakeit upon myself at this "
timeto discourse of his books; of his refined know;
ledge bf.character,; of hia.snbtle acquaintance with
the weaknesses othumaii'nature, of hi* delightful'
playfulness as an essayist, of his quaint_and
touchingballads, of/his mastery oyer tne English
language. Eeast of all, iu these pages, enriched'
by his brilliant qualities from the first of the series,
and belvrehandaccepted by the public thro ugh the
strength of his great name. - . . -
QBut, on the table befo e me, there lies all that
he.had wjiitep;bf his latistandbest story. That
it wonlc be very sad to any one—that it is inex-:
prfesjsblysbtb: a writrr- in It 3 evidences o'f ma
tured designs mever to be accomplished, of inten
tions begun to be executed and destined never to
be complet'd, otcarefri* preparation for longroad#
ef tbought ahat he waaiievn* to traverse, and for
shiumg goals that he was never to Teach; .will b«

markablethat, by reason of the singular construc
tion ofdlie story, more than one main incident usu
ally belcmging to the end of sneb a Action is autici-r
pated in the beginning, and tlius ' there is an
approach to completeness in the frtgmeat,ras to the
satisfaction of the reader’s mind cotiC'Vning the
most inter, sti r g persons, which could liardly have

about, aud often tai- eh them out of tiU’pocket here

Thalast words he corrected hi print were t ‘‘And

head-back od his pillow and threw up his anns as
he was-wont tt/do whenvery weary, some con

ihronghbut life ihumbly .chori3hod r may have
caiis'ed hte own heart so to throb, when he -pissed
away tO/lxis Eedeemer’s rest!
He’;was 'found peacefully..lying as' above,de
scribed, composed/ undisturbed,' and to-all ap
pearance asleep, ou the 24th '.of. IS6J.
He was only in his fifty-third year— ,3o
man that the mother who blessed him in his first
sleep blessed him in his-iav,. Twenty years before
hehadvrUten/aftef huihgiaa white squall;
And when, its force expended.

the mournful -day broke that saw their fttheriymg

wth him, they had learned much from him; and.
one-of—them "has aliterary course before her,
worthy of famous name. ■ -
On. the bright wintry day, the Pst baton* of the
