Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia and dis

writers.
Though he personally liked Tennyson,
he spoke with impaticncc of his "cobbling

an "Irish blackguard,
Even the writers of editorials in the

''What are these fellows doing? They only

pain even on a friend.
An artist who frcqucntcd Carlylc's house
painted a picture of him in his dressing
gown, smoking Il pipe by the fircsidc, and
Mrs. Carlyle in an armchair sitting oppo-
site him. The picture was hung at one of
the Royal Acadcmy's exhibitions, and
though not a striking work of art was
purchased by Lord Ashburton, Carlyle S
friend, for $500.
The delighted artist hurried off to the
Carlyles, expecting congratulations on the
sale and some manifestation of pleasure
on their part at having such value set on
a picture of themselves and their domestic
interior. He delivered his glad tidings,
