MRS. THOMAS CARLYLE.
Ono Occasion When the Clever Woman
Was Surprised and COMPOUNDED.

Ono Occasion When the Clever Woman
Was Surprised and COMPOUNDED.
The brightest time for Mrs. Carlyle's
talk was during dinner. Day after day
she poured forth witty stories, most Of
which have almost forgotten, but in
any case it would be desecration to at
tempt to repeat almost any of them.
The characteristics Of living men and
women were often dashed off in few
pithy words, not without satirical
touches. George Henry Lewes was not
one OF her favorites, but / noted with
pleasure the way in which she spoke Of
the wonderful transformation effected
by the influence on him of George Eliot.
One OF her experiences was when WIS.,
iting q shoemaker shop to make q pur-
chase, at the time when sandaled shoes
were worn, like those represented in
the original illustrations Of Dickens.
The sandals were Of black ribbon, uncut
until the Shoes were worn by the pur-
| chaser at home. Mrs. Carlyle tried on
many shoes, and each time that shoe
proved unsuitable she unconsciously
slung it on to her left arm. Being at
last suited, and having paid her bill,
she left the shop, and had walked lit.
D. way when she heard a shout behind
her. Looking back she saw the shop
man running after her, much excited
and insisting ON he- returning the stolen
| shoes Looking down, she saw to her
surprise a number of shoes dangling
from her arm. The man Indignantly
| asked her name and address. Her as
tonishment was such that her name was
| obliterated for time from her memory
and all she could recollect was her
maiden name, "Miss Welsh" The hu-
NOR in this tale was enhanced to those
who knew her from its being so much
out Of keeping with her usual shrewd.
ness and self possession that no one
could have predicted it Of her.
Her death scene, year later, when
"Mr. Sylvester" as she named her
coachman, during drive, turned and
looked into the carriage-surprised at
receiving no orders as to roUte-and saw
her sitting, lifeless, with a pet dog on
her knee, has often risen to my
thoughts.
My strongest impression was of the
deep mutual love evidently subsistirg
between Mrs. Carlyle and her husband.
Every subject we discussed seemed to
recall thoughts Of him. If the piano
were opened, his song of the "blue day"
was referred to or asked for; if any
literary man were mentioned, his opin-
ion Of him was given, or story was
told showing his relation to other men
OF note. felt as if listening to the love
talk Of youthful engaged couple, and
when, in later days, Froude opened up
q floodgate of misunderstanding l felt
assured there was a radical misconcep-
ton Of the true state of affairs. -New
