THACKERAY'S LOVE OF BOYS.
Ono Wlio in a Youth Knew the Great
Writer Recount III Eipcrltncci.
My earliest recollections of Thnekcrny
date from the spring of 1H4I. I used from
that time to spend a few days with him nt
the end of the Kaster holidays before going
back to Eton. He was then living with
his two girls in the hospitable white brick
house 13 Young street, Kensington, which
I can never pass unmoved. His handsome
old mother and dear old stepfather, Major
Carmichacl Smyth, who had been governor
lif Addiscombe, and in some respects was
the original of Colonel Xewcome, were
also living with him.
He was then but at the dawn of liii
fame. "Vanity Fair," begun la January,
1847, was completed In July, 118. "Peu
dennis" cauio out in 1SUU-50. I well re
member the first numbers of the former
In their yellow paper covers, and the illus
trations In vignettes from his own pencil.
It was in 1850 that his long connection
with Punch carne to an end.
I recollect being astonished and nmused
at liis humorous drawings for that period
ical, which were constantly being brought
to him on their boxwood blocks before be
ing printed off. In these visits, which took
place every year till 1852, when I went to
Oxford, I instinctively felt that he was fur
greater than any one whom I had ever
met. And looking back, after an interval
of forty years, I feel tlmt I was not wrong,
and that there was something In his mind
and character larger and more spacious,
more liberal, with less admixture of any
thing petty or unreal or affected than it
Las been my fortune ever to meet.
One was naturally attracted by his fine,
lofty figure, his bright, genial smile, his
pithy, amusing sentences, and his cheery
greeting. There was nothing in the lwist
deterrent or formidable in liim and most
boys are quick to see if they are regarded
as bores by their elders. Mrs. I.eslio
Stephen well says, "His kindly feeling for
the schoolboy is constantly coming up in
his books; it is indicated by his warm rec
onimendation of thegrent duty of adminis
tering 'tips' a duty which lie took care to
discharge effectually in his own person."
1 can bear witness to the truth of this
from my own experience. I never visited:
rarely saw, him at this time without hav
ing u sovereign slipped into my hand on
leaving him. On one occasion after I hud
my pocket picked in an omnibus he cni
tied the whole of his purse into my hands
The exact amount, ut this distant date, I
do not remember, but it was much more
than I had lost.
On these delightful visits ho would spare
no pains in taking me to places of amuse'
ment the play or tho pantomime sonic-
times after an excellent dinner ut tho
Garrick club, where I remember his check
ing some one in tho net, of blurting out an
oath, the utterance of which he would not
tolerate in my presence. "Chronicle of St.
ucorjje.-'
An Odorous Fungus.
"At my country home," said a woman
the other day, "we have what wo call our
'hammock parlor.' It is a circle of tall
pines in which five hummocks are swung,
and here we spend most of our timo in
summer. One season our favorite resort
was invaded by a most unpleasant smell.
It was distinctly thnt of carrion, but we
searched everywhere for a dead mouse,
bird or other animal thnt should be respon
sible for it. Every day the odor remained,
and at last, when wo were expecting soma
friends to share the pleasures of our ul
fresco parlor, I determined they should not
shure this evil as well.
"Armed with a rake, I went over the ad'
jacent ground foot by foot, and had ulmost
finished without success, when my tool
broke off a small und almost unnoticed
fungus growing in the decaying root of a
cut down plum tree. Instantly my nostrils
told me I hud found tho source of our
trouble, and on searching farther I raked
out fifteen of those growths, each power
fully redolent as it was uprooted. I made
a heap of them some distance away and
piled fresh earth over them, when, like-
magic, their smell vanished. Later a
neighbor told me what my many sum-
iners of country lifo lind never revealed
that this 'carrion toadstool' is a distiuc
and recognized class of fungus to bota
nists." Xcw York Times.

A well known lawyer and author of this
city, who is a relative of Senator Shennnn,
once had a head clerk to whom he gave n
literary training, and who became iu time
a regular contributor to several Imnioroua
publications. It frequently happened that
the lawyer s engagements kept him away
from his office until long after the time he
had fixed for his return, often to tho dis
tress of his clerk, whs liked to hlhch regu
larly. Tho latter, in despearation, sent to
a paper and had printed tho following
squib:

he went out that he would bo back at 1:30,
When tho paragraph appeared the clerk

with dignity that he did not di-tcuss jokes

Marriage and Good Tim en.
"I have observed," says an old minister,
"that niarrluge, especially among the
working classes. Is greatly affected by the
state of trade. When trade is good mar
riages increase, and are lew frequent in
times of commercial depression. This fact
Indicates that the romance of life among a
class who are generally regarded as reck
less in the matter of marriage, is, after all,
restrained by the dictates of common pru
dence. During tho I Jincnsblre cotton fam
ine, early in the sixties, J had a church in
Dundee. The failuro of cotton occasioned
an abnormal boom in the jute trade, and
Dundee wus the principal emporium for
the import and manufacture of tho flexible
fiber. It was then that that town laid the
foundation of Its wealth and greatness. In
those prosperous times marriages were fre
quent, and in the course of a few years
united in the sacred bonds of matrimony
greater number of young couples than In
nny similar period during my ministerial
career." Ulasgow-Heruld.
