THOMAS CARLYLE .
From the " New York News Letter . " THOSE who are accustomed to think oi Mr . Carlyle only as a cynic will probably be surprised at the mild and agreeable physiognomy Avhich our illustration shows him to possess . But it is not incomprehensible that the man Avhose invective
against evil is the fiercest , ancl whose denunciation of shams is the most scathing , should be really warm-hearted and genial in his personal relations . There is undoubtedly great clanger that those who hate eA'il " with a perfect hatred" will not be large-hearted enough to see how
much goodness there is in the world , nor the beauty of it , but failures in this respect are , in the case of eminent men , often only relative . Mr . Carlyle Avas born in 1795 , and comes honestly by the granite of his
character through his Scotch parentage . He entered the Edinburgh University while young , and was distinguished there for his attainments in mathematics and forei gn languages , and for the Avide extent of his reading . He expected to enter the ministry , but changed his mind while studying theology , and after a short experience as a teacher , turned his whole
attention to literature . His life of Schiller , translations of Goethe ' s " Wilhelin Meistor , " ancl the best of the productions of Tieck , Jean Paul , Musaus and Hoffman , ancl his essays on German literature , speedily Avon for him distinction among the few to whom their authorshi
p was known , and opened a new mine of wealth to English readers . The " French Revolution" Avas the first of his works that bore his name , though his " Sartor Resartas , " which contends Avith "Crom-Avell's Letters and Speeches" for the
