We will have some music and poetry; the children shall learn to dance to it and sing to it! perhaps some of the old people, in time, may also.-From Fors Clavigera. With John Ruskin we will conclude this work on the history of English literature. Traces of this extraordinary man and author may be met with in the life of all branches of English art during the last fifty years, and the memory of his days on earth will still live in a distant future. He is one of the few all-round men of our time, who are able to point out to everyone a way to be followed closely, and with singleness of purpose. He has also produced some poetry, which, like all his writings, is of unusual power-although a truly poetic genius was denied him. BIBLIOGRAPHY CARLYLE.-Excellent bibliography by J. Anderson in R.
