CARLYLE AND DIR. JOHNSONS GOD-
DfUGHTER.
From The Christian Lender.


In few weeks, it seems, are to be favored
with the first inStalment OF MIR HrOudc's biography
of lhpmas Carlyle: and if the work is properly
performed, il ought TO correct the gTleyOusly false
impression that was made upon many minds by the
Ill-tImed publication OF the "reminiscences" Any
faithful portrait of the philosopher will tend
especially to confirm the estimate of his character
which Leigh Hunt so happily expressed when he
were few men OF his generation prepared to 90 SO
tender. hearted "cync' OF Cheyne Row. In this
respect his practice rebuked the high religious pro-
fession of many who consider themselves authorized
10 sit as assessors upon his character and life but
who were strangers to his spirit of self sacrifice
One incident that has been overlooked illustrative
of this Iact we recall at the present moment.
About 500 the late Rev. Thomas Mathews Nom
cOnformst minister at Boston, IN Lincolnshire, dis
covered two poor old women, sisters, in distressed
circnmstances one Of whom was "A 90 l-daughtcr of
Dr, samuel Johnson lie communicated the inter

at once mentioned the matter 10 his friend Carlyle,
who Immediately said that the Prime Minister would
feel that the bestowment OF small pension upon
the poor old lady, at least 10 the extent OF keeping
her and also her sister from want, wond be recog-
ni2ed by the whole country as right use OF power.
Nor did he rest content with expressing THIS opin-
ion for he went down with the Baptist minister OF
Boston TO DeptfOrd to the old ladies' ana certain
curious relics which confirmed their story. Being
satisfied Herewith, he then FASTENED TO the Bishop
of Oxford, who was the almoner OF some royal

From The Spectator
We walked among the woods IN spring.
When earth was fair to see.
With blnebell and with cherry bloom
And white anemOue.
Then one Of Us, think, forgot
The truth, so often told
That speech is only silver. dear,
But silence often gold.
You talked to me of tint and tone,
OF subtle green and cray, -,
OF light and SHADE, and CLINT and gleam'
And sunbeam's tender play.
You made ne strarn my ears 20 near
Each Ii king phrase unf0ld;
Your sp 'cch, maybe, was sllVer-Gllt'-
But yet it was not gold.
All me. you thought me savage, thon,
a Philiytinic boy;
| know full we'll, that sweet spring day
You robned me of my JOY.
The false. a.thetic brass, 'tis true,
Nour purse could never hold.
Would 1t had held less silver, then,
And greater store of gold
The eyes to see. the ears TO hear,
The every sight and sound;
But speak not, for the place NhereOn
You stand is holy ground
Yc-, look and think, if think you can,
But leave; tine thought untold;
For speech is only silver, Gear,
But silence purest gold. 81
