CARLYLE's TRIUMPH OVER DIFFICULTIES
In strong and entertaining view of Car
lyle's life and character, John Burroughs
says, in the Century: Carlyle owed every
thing to his power of will and to hls un-
hinching adherence to principle. He was
in no sense lucky man, had no good for
tune, was borne by no current, was favored
and helped by no circumstance whatever
His life from the first was steady pull
against both wind and tide. He confront
ed all the cherished thoughts, beliefs, ten
denotes of the time; be spurned and insult
ed his age and country. No man ever
before poured out such whitening scorn upon
his contemporaries. The opinions and prac-
tees Of his times in politics, religion and
literature were as stubbly, orambly field,
to which he would fain apply the match and
clean the ground for a nobier crop. he
would pnrge and fertiliZe the soil by fire.
His attitude was at once like that of the old
prophets, one of warning and rehuking.
He was refused every public place he ever
aspired to-every college and editorial chair.
Every mans hand was turned against him.
He was hated by the Wings and feared by
the Tories He was poor, proud and uncom-
promising, sarcastic; he was very morose,
dyspeptic, Respondent, cempassed about by
dragons and all manner of evil menaforms !;
in fact, the odds were fearfuly against him,
and yet he succeeded, and succeeded on his
own terms He fairly conquered the world
yes, the flesh aud the devil"

OLD BIBLE TEXT.

Maid visit to day to DR.. Harkavy, OF
the Imperial Library, whose recent discov-
ery ola supposed ancient text OF Tue via
Testament is exciting much interest in SCI,
entifc and even general circles, says ST.
Petersburg dispatch to the London Standard
The learned professor informed me that the
manuscripts in question bad been In MS pos
session for some months, but that ne mad re-
framed from bringing them to pubic notice
ON account of the recent exposure OF tue
Shapiro frauds, and the sceptlclsm WIN
which new announcement in the same heia
of discovery would necessarily be received.
His scruples were overcome, however, DV
the persuasions ofhis friend, MIR. NeuDauer,
the assistant librarian at the Bodleian nora
nv at Oxford, and he has prepared q snort
statement for: publication pending the pro.
duction of a memoir upon which he Will SET
to work.
Assuming that the manuscripts are genu-
iue land us to this the Doctor has no douot)
he has already deciphered enough TO prove
that they are of very considerable interest
aud antiquity, but he is unable to nix even
an approximate date for them as yet. nor
has he met with any important variations
| from the tertus receptus. The manuscripts
arc the property of persons whom the pro-
fcssor is not at liberty to name, the manu-
scripts having been entrusted to him merely
to deciphcr, Their present owners bought
hem ut one of the Black Sea ports from
Greek sailor sailing from the Island
of Rhodes They consist of some 80 rolls
Of velIum, which were probably once
| bound together Some, however, are much
better preserved than others. The La
mentations" Of jeremiah, for instance
are comparatively fresh, and easily read
while some of the parchment is SO Grin
kled and discolored that nothing can be
made out, though the professor hopes, by
means of reagents, to render the writing
legible. The Book of Lamentations" is
followed by an original poem on the same
subject, 1.-The Fall of jerusalem" signed
Jacob, son of Isaac" The other books which
| Professor Harkavy has made out so far are the
prophcsics Of Hosea. Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Haggai
and Zachariah, and the books Of Ruth, Esther
Daniel, aud Zephaniah
The most puzzling feature is that the characters
employed di1er materially from all hitherto
| known so much SO that those who read with
| facility the square writing of the other Hebrew
texts are at loss to understand it. DR.. Harkavy
pointed out instances in which the letter Lamed
is nearly the same as tho Yemen character; whilst
| the letter Ain is quite original, being, like the
| Greek Epsilon written backward.
| Judging from what he has made out up to the
present time, the Professor thinks the manuscript
must have originated with a colony of Jews long
| isolated from their fcllOw.cOuntrymen, probably
in some island out Of the way spot OIL the coast
| OF Arabia
