(This paper waa read before tlxt Mon day Kveninjfc lui ot Halelsh, Jan- On thef4th of 'J.epmlorft.l795, In the village of Rcclefecbun, partel) of Kid- don, Punfrlesshlre, Heotland, a man child wan born to the peasant, Jamf ' Carlyle, anil his peasant wife. There were no indications. In the surround lngs or otherwise, that any other than an ordinary child had been born Into . this world. He came Into the moat un promising environment that could well be assigned to mortal child. The only relieving element In the natural nctie whereupon his young eyes first Icoketi out, was the stern and almost forbid ding grandeur of the desolate moun tains and wild, rocky shores of his na tive ahire. One, In possession of the iivmc powers or me peer, inipnt. in deed, sec. thai a child, thrown so rude ly into the wild rilKgeUnoHScH of ilmsc Scottish mountains, was meant to do gome notahle thing here below; hut thih faci, to ordinary mortals, would appeal not at all. When ordinary men start . out to hunt for Immortals, they do not often bethink them of looking amongst the wild mountains and stormy moor lands of the Icy North. They turn their steps rather in the direction of that level commonplHce and tiresome Inane where genial suns shine upon lowering marts and gilded palaces in the direc tion of those limitless flats of conven tion, where hopeless ninnies talk of tht best society, and where fools gabble about cultures they do not know and cannot learn. Verily, men do not of ' ten seek for geniuses amongst the torrent-rent valleys and frowning moun tali. And yet, it was in nnc such nnscflrrhed nisi forbidding place, that the Htipremest man that has spoken fo the world In English was born ont hundred and four years agonc. If the natural scene Into which the child, Carlyle, came whs forbidding, and not at till congenial, what must we sny of the intellectual and religious life which glared in upon, him through the opening portals of his great soul', intellectual culture, tbe.n, if it pretend ed to be at all polite, must be classical cold, pagan. At that time, and In thai country, learning was only anoihct nnme for an altogether undesirable familiarity with a pagan, dialectic Ii. philosophy, and a mo-.a gVolrsque IX' dantry in literature, Religion was nar row to the very limits of what thi Geometers call the definition of t, straight line. When Carlyle first came here to struggle with the problems ol Hie and death and immortality, f9! out of. eery l.'Kxl of his country men held, m itli fanatical grasp, to a reHnlon . ereed which dowmod more than three filths of all the countless millions ol Adam's children, who have lived aim tied, to be shut up in hell und he hurri ed in literal lire und brimstone forevci and 'orevermore. Do not understand rfu- to s.i. thai ;. sueh a , religious cr-ed ns greeted '::r lvle at Ills cimitig here -as that will, which la- lati.T struggied as unto deat!i t an be valueless or altogether vicious I say no such thing; I believe no suer thlng. I only say. that the religious thought of his countrymen In the tlm of his early youth and young nianhoro must have been very depressing to tht aspirations of a great soul, whatevei virtues it may have had. Certain it Is that Carlyle did not ascend the moun tain of vision, and wrap himself up Ir. his seer's mantle, until he had finally broken the bonds of religious creeds and had forever freed himself from their hateful thralldom. .80 there came a time In his young, struggling life when his honesty of soul led . him tc question, the doctrines of his "father's creed," so there came a time in hi university residence, ' when he fearless ly said, "I d'O not believe the doctrines of my father's kirk." What pain it cost liim to say this, and what infinite com fort and unending peace, cuinc to birr when once he had said It out of th deeps of his laboring soul, you may read In the "Remlniscenscs" at your leisure. The boy, Carlyle, had such schooling ,ln his native villagV?, und later nt Annan, as .any other child of an hon est and industrious Scottish pejsan- might have had until he passed. In his Blxteenth year, to Edinburgh Universi ty, from which seat of learning, It war his father's Intention and his own. that he should enter the Scottish Church; which intention, be It remembered, war never carried out; for the reason, ar before said, that he found out after a while, that he did not could not -"believe the doctrines of his father's kirk.' Of his career at the university. It is not needful to speak further than tc say, that he was a diligent student and gained great proficiency in the ma theinatics. and in the German lngjag' ttind its literature. . Upon leaving the university, Carlyh taught for a short while at Dysart, In Flfeshlre; and then, laying down thf grammar and the rod, he turned hlf attention to the study st current prob lems of astride range and to literature To say what It would be desirable tc say about Carlyle's books, the present occasion does not give me the time, and Divine Providence has not given you the patience to hear It, if I were to saj It anyhow. But I may be allowed tc glance for a mere -moment at a few ol the most notable ones. "Sartor Resartus, or the Philosophy of Clothes,' contains many of the pro foundest things that have been utter ed by man; and these wonderful things are mixed un- with, sown amongst sandwiched t in betwixt; scattered through;-; tumbled over; stuck under the grimmest humor; the brightest wit: the. grotesques t figures; the most bril liant flashes; the most biting sarcasms 1 he laughablest drollery; the deepest common sense, to be found in the writ ings of taetu hfto read into 'the sense and sayings of the Mended Tailor bet ter still, . o read those, same, saying and sense into you, is -liberal educa tion, and something jnore; an educa tion, however, that the sirs and. madams of the self-appointed four hundred must forever do without; for- the one suffi cient reason, that,, there 1st ho known method whereby ti ;full 'Quart of any honest Ilotild lean be poured or squeezed into -a itm.'tot,'i'V'lK-v If I had an ambition to earn, a fool' reputaton;s I might undertake to tell you what -'Sartor contains.

I mlsdit mention in this connection, the "Life of Schiller" of Stirling; II might mention "Past and Present;" tho Translations, the Pamphlets, and tlir ! unapproached the unapproachable Essays. But I remember ih.it whole Infinitudes may in nowise be crowded Into the space of half an hour; and 1 'orbear; only saying to you now, as 1 said before Read! read, if you can. The literary fellows that is to say hose who read the tables of contents of books, and after such exhaustiv mhihation of knowledge, write learned llticisins upon the bk and their au thors; criticisms which have the powet o kill and to make alive in the cs teem of the great muddle-headed pub lic literary fellows of this class, I say have not yet determined where and how to ticket and classify our great Scotchman In a literary sense! They 1o not know how to label him as a lit -rary force amongst the children of rten. They find no literary cabinet vherelnto he can be made exactly to It: they can find no rules of author ship whereunto he can be made to con ofm. They find no style of literary composition, either In the past or lr the present, which they can use In taking the measure of him. He does not vrlte English like any other man. wo- -nan or child ever wrote. It before he amc here, orslnce he made his exit ut of this world: and they do not now what to do with him. They say 'lis style Is so rugged: so uncouth; so lestitue of continuity; so utterly de- 'oid of finish: so entirely without II -iuldlty: so wholly contemptuous of 'dans and patterns and precedents hat there Is no law-literary which can be made to bind him, or describe him ir circumscribe him. Well, be It so. If these same literary fellows had as ouch sense as any animal who has tc :ike enre of himself ought lo have before he Is turned loose In a world like his. they should have known long: ago 'hat it Is the fact that he cannot be made to conform to the rules and reg ulations of literary weaklings, which marks him as an original, an unique and altogether God-made and God-sustained literary man, who was sent here with a, message: and did struggle, day by day. as he hlmBelf would have said to make that message from the highest Heavens articulate and actual for tht uses of God's folks In this lower world: It may be said It has been' said a thousand times that he-, had no style it may be admitted: It must be ad, nltted. But this Is no reproach to him It is sreatly to his praise,. rather.'1 - Nc man that had the faculty to see Into the earth's prjblqms; ; Into Its hollow mockeries: into Its shames and shams; into Us oppressions and wrongs;;: Into Its strong crytngs and fears; Into its divine gifts of faculty perverted; Into the opening gates of Its beckoning des.

Carlyle has been stigmatised as a skeptic because there was no rellgiour creed In which he believed, or under which e would, or could, have writ tier; his name. ; Once more the accusation must be ad- i tnltted to be true.
