| It Is related of Carlyle that once
he went to visit one of his EARL
pupils in the country, and as bed
time drew near, the host said
"Now, Mr.. Carlyle, we are goini
to have family Worship" thinking
that he would perhaps like.to with
draw before the service began; bu
he quietly answered: swell, brinI
me the book and I'll read 1t TO-
YOU" Taking the Bible in his lap
he began with the first chapter o
the book of Job. For q time it wa
delightful to listen to him reading
chapter after chapter, INTERPRETING
quaint remaks as he went along
but presently it became eviden
that he had no notion of stopping
having forgotten himself in hi
task. His niece recalled him to ,
sense of pIopriety by whispering
"The servants must be weary
uncle" He made no verbal re
spouse, but closed the Bible with {
snap, and betook himself to thu
next room and the enjoyment o
his pipe.
