All About George EIiot,s Husband.

Mr.. John Cross is an excellent man of
forty-two years, rich, and an old and de-
voted friend of the Leweses. Mr.. Lewes
was very fond of him. He lived close by
the Leweses' country place, and came in
and out like an attached relation. He
admired Mrs. Lewes profoundly, and
always said he would do any thing in the
world for her. He is not an intellectual
companion, like Mr.. Leves, but strong,
solid, reliable mar, who gives you at
once a sense of confidence, a thorough,
reliable, kind, upright, steadfast mana
thorough support; such a man as any
woman would be thankful to have near
her as constant and devoted friend.
Nothing is more wise and more happy
than that such an Invaluable friend
should be allowed to supply the daily
care and affectionate companionship
which his admiration and his affection
both made him long to give. And Mrs.
Lewes is not the woman, with her tender
and yielding nature $50 unconsciously

letter, she was ready with another, add
