The Lately-Deceased Danish Poet and Novelist. : A Few Weeks in His Compauy at & Country-House in Denmark. Sketch of the Personal Characteristics of the Noted Author, [Tans Christian Andsrson, tho celebrated poet and vovelist of Denmark, whoss charming writings are wel: knows all over tho civilized world, died at Copen- bagen, laat Wodnesdsy, in the 70:h year of hisage. Only a few months ago, 3 present was mude to him on belalf of the children of Awerics, in testimony of the pleasure €0 many of them bad derived from his numen oua fuscinating tales. He was » wniter of rare geniuss inimitable in its_particular bent; and tho sunounce- ‘ment of his death Lag carrled sorrow (o the hearts of muny thoussnds who knew him only through his works, Temple Bar—a London magazine~lately con- tsined the following urticle sbout him, written by an English 1ady who lcst year spent a fow wecks in his company at a country-house in Denmark. The arl- cle is intoresting In itself, but ia rendered still more 20 by the fact that Andersen has now finished his life- work, und, full of vears and of honars, has lajd down his pen forever.] I cannot doscribe the thridl of intenee pleasura which seat the blood tingling to my chesks when, on psying s visita short while sinco to Donmars, I was told that in a few dsys Haus Christisn Andersen would becoms & guest in the bouss whers I was siaying. For days after this aononncement I could think of notbing else but the wonder and delight of really learning to know personally this king of story-tollers, It wes a glorious day at the end of Au- gust, and the * namy’s day™ of our charmiog and accomplished hostess. It was about 11 o'clock when the friends sod acquainiances of the family began to arrive, each with 2 bouquet in hand, to offer their coo- gratulations on the dsy, ana good wishes for the futare, sccording to the simple custom of the polite people of Denmark. When I joined the company, a little lster om, there were about thirty guests assembled, sitting aod staoding in the verands snd op the laws, enjoying the wurm sunshiny dey. Presently, sbove the hum and buzz of the conversation which gave life and padsion to thescene, I heard the rumble of carriage-wheols cease on tho road, and a few moments after, from under the traes of taa private pathway, appeared a tall gaunt figare, carrviog in hisbands s huge basket, or rathortray, of besutifully arcauged fowers. Ho stood still for a second, guietly surveying tho lawn and its occupants. halore, saddealy, & chorus of voices exclaimed: *“Therehsis! TUERE 18 ANDERSEN !

Thia fam- ily was called Carrat; and Mr. Carrot, and Mrs. Carrot, and especially Miss Carrot, were all very well behaved. and did thoir daty ss they oughs. Now, vou must koow that this 3[1as Carrot was & very sweet and elogant youog thing. She had grown straigbt and tall, had » besutifal com- plexion, and had thie lovoliest green ruffle round her neck io all the neighborhood. So the souths of that land liked to ook at her, ard they came and paid court 10 ber, snd whispered in har ear bow very beawifal they found her, and would have liked to asx her 1o marry one of them, but ber papa frowned at them, and they dared not ventare quite so far. Besides. they all knew that her father intended to marry her to A STOUT, UGLY OLD FELLOW who lived not far off, acd who had demanded her band long ago, when she was quiie s wee thing. Poor little Pinky (for that was her name) knew this t0o, aod it made her very sad, for she Joved her {onug cousia with all ber beart,—a five, bold fellow, who wss 2a hand- como as she was herselt. Bat it wasof no use to hope that her father would relent; he had eaid she was to marry the old, ugly lover, and 0 marry hum sho muost, upless he wonld give her up to bis rival wiliogly and quiedly. Bav be had a hard, stooy beart, snd declsred be would have hor whether she liked it or not, and he would not listen to her tesra and entreaties when she begged lun to go snd find another bride from amongst the beautiful l.dy Carrots of the country, but hastensd on the marmage, and bought ail that was required for bis new home, and even got the riug and ordered tbe punch that was to be drauk oo the wedding-day. This was verv cruel a0d unkind, bt he did not care, for he was ove of those se'fish creatures who ooly do what pleases themsoives; and lttle Pinky sat in her room all alone, and cried till she grew quite thin, Her fiiends had esch in turn done their best t try and soften tue heart of tius ugly, stout, florid od Carot, and persusde him to give up marrying such a very youn, lade, who did not love him; but hE would listen to nooe of them, sod made ber father keep to bis word and not lss her see any ono till the wedding was over. At last the great day arrived; all the guests were invited, and every one came. The bnde was dreased in all ber fiaery. and stood. at tho altar by taa side of her ugly bridegroom, who looked very important and more strong-bearied than ever. Just a3 tho protty bride had cast one despairing soul-ronding glzuce at the cousin she ioved 80 well, avd had resigned herself to her cruel fate, sadderly a great crash was beard overnead, and, before any one bad time to notica how it was done. too ngly old lover was sei by hus green ruflle and DRAGGERD AWAY OUT OF SIGHT over their heads, znd never cime back any more. “Every one was very glad, for now Pinky could marry the oné she joved, and not be sad or sorrosful agmin. Aud she did, there aod then, and has beon bappy ever since. Aod now, little Barte, I must tell you tha it was the kind, good gardener who bad draggod the ngly old lover from his young brile, and, because be was crael and nokind, had taken him away from that happy land where he lived, and handed bim over to the cook, who cat lum in pieces and boiled hum in the soup, a2d sent him up o table to be eaten, becauss he deserved no betwer fato.” Audersen caunot oulv weave and tell & story woll, but he is a rare roader.

Of course, it was ove of his own, and Voices wonld be hushed in eager expectation, for all kmow thet whatever it was, old or new, it wonld be sure to be woith listening to.
