The different parts were iis signi'd, ilre-S 'S were discussel, "prop er! ICS were collected, ami rehearsing went on the whole day long. As the home-visitors were all to take part in the charades, invitations had to be sen 1 tn the more hit imatc neighbors to make an audience, an improptn supper had to be arranged for. and the I day wis one of continual bustle and J excitement, and the rehearsals were! the greatest fun imaginable. ! A dear old friend volunteered to iin- ' tlerliike I he music, an I Im play ed de light fully all through the acting. Theso charades made one of the pleas antest ;iiid most successful of the New Year's evenings e ver spent at (lad's llill. I bit there were not only grown-up guests invited to tde pretty, cheerful home. Iu a letter to a friend Charles Dickens writes, "Anot her general ion begins to peep above die table. I once used to think what ii horrible thing it was to be a grand I ill her. Finding that thecalam ity falls upon me without my pereeiv- ing any oilier change iu myself, I bear it like a man." F.ut its he o disliked the naino of ' grandfather as applied to himself, J these grandchildren were taught dy j him to call him "Vcnerables." And to ; this day some of them still speak of ' him by his self-invented name. Now, there is another and younger j family who never knew "Venerahlea," Int who are taught to know his bke- ; ness, and taught to know his books ', through Id'' pictures in tin as s"m as they can be tau.dl anvldin '. ami all that, i.' gay in ci.ir. iione but Ido. jbrightii' t Mowers and aNo mini' of: ; the gorgeous Am. rienn leaves, sent dy j a friend for t lie purpose ire laid npnii the stone, making that one spot, iu the midst of the vast ami solemn diiilibug, brigdt and deautiful. In a letter t.i "I'l. .111," b-fme bis d" iartii!e lor Australia, Cdard'S IMekens writes; "I dupe ymi will alwas be al.le to say in al'ler life, that ymi had a kind father." Ami to this hope, each one of dis cdildren can answer wild a loiii;. grateful heart. Allien. Tde.o reminiscences are written to tilmw him, alnm-l exclusively, in bis ffl.it it'll nf father, and tn show dim as lie was in his own il'ini"dic circle and in his Imiiie lile.
