A Candid Estimate Of Carlyle

Another thing m Carlyle pleaeed him far moro ; every ono knowe that Emereon makea him a perfect idol, and it was thought that, if Carlyle carod for any one in the world, it waa for Emerson. I have heard it said of them they aro not only like brothers, but like twinbrothers. Well, remember that Emerson and Hawthorno both live at Concord, and you will appreciate the kindness of lir. Carlyle'a speech. "Is na there a place called Concord near ye? What like ie it? "A pretty little New England town, was Mr. Fiolds' answer, "of no political irnportance.but lirely and pleasant as a reaidence. "Pretty!- üvely !- ?e ken I had fancied it to be a dull, dreary place, wi' a drowny river making believe to oreep through it, slow and muddy and Btagnant, like the folk that inhabit it." So much for Mr. Carlysle, who bas had the doublé misfortune of writing according to the humor- that is, the ill-humor, of the moment, without thóslightest regard to oonsistency and truth, and to be surrounded by none but admirers, or liy teñera borne down bymere noiao. In Ecgland nis fashion is waning rapidly, and I have no doubt but that, liko most over-rated men, he wil] live to ehare the common fate of idols knocked down by his former worghippers in rovenge of their own idolatry.
