Simplicity Of Carlyle.s Life.

There was in Carlyle certain AFRO
gance of intellect that grew with years,
and often asserted itself in fashions that
he himself felt to be grievous. This has
been mistaken for arrogance of heart.
But arrogance of heart he never had. In
sylnpathies and manner of life he re-
manned to the end much Of the simple
peasant. Seldom year passed, of the
eighty-fve that he lived, that he did not
spend month or two among the Scotch
heaths and peat boys in or near his
humble boyhood home.
There, nearer than anywhere else, his
restless soul came to the attainment of
that peace and composure which it was
quite capable of nowhere. To the end
his own poor, toiling, uneducated kins-
men continued the dearest people on
earth to him, and rarely came apayment
from editor or publisher that, whatever
his own necessities, he did not share it
with some of them. Had they been
stupid am not sure that he would not
at times have shown them scant mercy,
but their humbleness only bound them
the closer.--E. c. Martin in Scribner's.

Training for Modern Life.

Every man ought to know what kind
of a universe he is in, what his relations
to it are, what and where invariable
conditions are imposed, what in the ma
ture of things is possible and what i'm
possible, within what limits all his
achievements must be, and hence what
ideals he may consistently cherish that
his work may not be in vain. 1t hardly
needs to be said that neither literature
nor art nor history nor theology can ac-
quaint man with these. Only science
can do it science not as mass of facts,
but as body of relations.
If there be anything that the ordinary
man is markedly deficient in, and which
the best schooling has not added to his
mental equipment, it is his failure to see
the necessities of relation. Exercises in
logic and the study of mathematics have
been supposed to qualify a man to be
logical, but if by this is meant that for
every effort to be explained an adequate
cause must be assigned, then most men
are unequal to the occasion. Professor
