I have noticed that people who think

of as good a quality as those who
labor a great deal less and play a

play is a great producer because it

All effective work is a result of con-
centrated faculties. A tired and SI

honorable and fearless rival of Dm

ularity. He oilers to review Dick-
ens' "American Notes" and sketelu-
out his line of criticism:
"There is palpable genius subt
and vivid jereeption exquisite fel -itv
of illustration and feeling and
natural circumstances real humor
mannerism exaggeration glaring

IMy 'si'" Warren. Dickens
seems to have been incapable ami
indisjKi-ed to look beyond the sur-
face of American manners and s--cietv.

much on the characters of the peo-

tle weaknesses seeing that "Ten

but he refrained from telling the
author so. Warren's own portrait
is given m a single sly sentence by
the Kev. James White a frequent
and entertaining correspondent ot
the Hlackwoods from the Isle of
Wight. "Warren was in the island
for a week and dined here one day.
