DICKENS' PHILOSOPHY.
the: everlasting book. \*u men of gloom' and austerity, who paint tho face of Infinito Benevolence with an eternal frown, read in the Ever lasting Book, wide open to your view, the lesson it would teach. Its pictures aro not in black and sombre hues, but bright and glowing tints; its music—save when yo drown it—is not in sighs and groans but. songs anil cheerful sounds. Listen lo Iho million voices in the summer air. and find ono dismal as your own. Remember, if yo can, tho sense of hope and pleasure, which every glad return of day awakens in the breast of all your kind who have not changed their nature; and learn somo wisdom even from tho witless, when their hearts are lifted up they know not why, by all the mirth and happiness it brings.—Charles Dickens.
