Poor Mrs. Carlyle, How significant
that she should advise her young lady
friends never to marry genius. 1t was
humiliating discovery to find that the
lofty philosophy 81 the Chelsea sage
cuuld not be recOnciled with the petty
snecrs and ill-nature of his common con-
versation. Said another unhappy spouse
of great man: when hear my hus-
bands magnificent speeches they mako
me think we must not mind what he
SAYS to us at home" 1t was Carlyle's
dyspepsia and Byron's lame limb which
put them at odds with the world. 4
mans character may sometimes be the
result of diseased liver, and he may
waste the highest gifts in raging at the
megrimS and fancics of bad digestion.
1t is hard lesson to teach: but, oh,
how true that mental wealth can not
atone for poverty-stricker heart: that
great gifts are not great graees!
