There was something In the letter which compelled attention. It was impossible to throw it, halt read, into the waste paper basket,‘amt to think of it not at ail. , VVo did read it, probably twice, and then put our.-elvea to work to consult r how much of it might bo true and how much false. Had the man been a boy at , and then a schol tr of his college? VVo coneludnd that so far, tho narrative was true. Had ho abandoned his dependence on wealthy friends from conscientious scruples, as he pretended;. or had other and Isss creditable reasons caused the severance? On that point we did not quite believe him. And then, as to,those assertions made by himself In regard to his own capabilities, how far did ihey gain credence with us? We thhik that we believed them all, making some small discount, wiih the exception of that one in which ne proclaimed him self to be a poet. A man may know whether lie understands French, and be qiltfe ignorantwhether the rhymed lines wlfieji lie produces are or are not poetry. When he told us that he was an infidel, and that his character would not bear in- vestigution, we went with Mm ultogeth er. His allusion to suicide was regarded as a foolish boast. Wo gave him credit Jhr the four children, but were not cer tain about the wife. Wo quite believed Li.o general assertion of his impecunloal ly. That siiifl* about ‘conventional thraldom’ we hope wo look at its worth. When he told ns tliatJkia.liffl-haiLbeaii-a. mistake he spoke to us Gospel truth. 01 the ‘Penny Dreadfuls,’ and of ‘blood and nastiness/ so called, we had never before heard, but wo did not think'it re markable that a man so rifted as our cor- respondent, shouldNearn forty-five shill ings a week by writing for the cheaper periodicals. It did not, however, appear to us probable that any one so remunerat- ed, would be willing to leave that engage ment for another which should give him only thiiry shillings.

BY ANTHONY TROLLOPE PART f.—THE ATTEMPT. Some years since wo received the’fol -1 lowing.letter: ‘Dea.ii Bik, ‘I write to you for, literary employ ment, and I implore you to provide nie with it if it be within your power to do so. My capacity for such \n>rk is not small, and my acquirements are consid erable. My need is very great, and my views in regard to remuneration are mod est.- I was educated at , and was afterwards a scholar of *—College, Cambridge. T loft the university with out a degree, in’ consequence of a quarrel with the college tutor. I wib rusticated, and not allowed to return. After that I became for a while a student for the ■Chancery, Bar: I then lived for some years in Paris, aiid I understand and speak French as though it were my own language. ■ Forall purposes oflitera tnre I am equally conversant with Ger man. 1 read ituliuu.

I am a poet;, at least, Ist esteem myself. lam not a be liever. .yiy character will not bear in vestigation ; in sayingI’’which, 1 ’’which, I mean you to understand, not that 1 steal or cheat, but that I live in a dirty lodging, of my hours in a public house, and cannot pay tradesmen’s bills where tradesmen have been, found to trust me. X have a wife and Jour child ren, which burden forbids mo to Jree’my seif from uli cafe by a Imre bodkin. I uni just past forty, and since I quarrelled with my family, biCJiisc I could not un (lerstunll the Trinity, 1 have never been the owner of a tea-pound note. My wife was not a lady. I married her be cause I was determined to lake refuge ; from tho conventional thraldom of* so- i called ‘gentlemen’ amidst tho liberty- of the lower orders. My life, of course, has ; been.a mistake. Indeed, lo live at ail, is it not a folly ? • • 1 ‘J am at present employed on the staff I of two or three of the 'Peuny Dreadfuls,’* Your august highness in literature has perhaps never heard of a ‘Penny Dread iul.* I writ© for them matter, which we among ourselves call ‘blood and nasti ness,’ and which is copied from one to another, For this lam paid forty-five shillings a week. For thirty shillings a week I will do any work time you may impose upon mo for the term of six mouths. 1 write this letter as a last ef fort to rescue myself from tho tilth of ray present position, but I entertain no hope of any success. If you ask it I will come and see you ; but do not semi for me un less you mean to employ me, as l am ashamed of myself. I live at wSo. 8, Cu cumber Couit, Gray’s inn Lane; but if you write, uddiess to the care of Mr. Grimes, the Spotted ‘Dog, Liquorpoud Street. .-.Now I have told you my whole life, and you may help me if you will.— Ido not expect an answer. . « ‘Yours truly, 'Julius Mackenzie.’ 1 Indeed he had told us his whole life, CARLISLE, PA, THURSDAY, JUNK 9MWO. tarni, who Imviag been ambitious in the career ot literature, falls irito the slnujrh of despond, by which the profession of literature is almost surrounded. There we were wilh him, as brothers together. When wo came to Mr. Grimes Spotted Dog, in LiqnorpuUd Street, wo thought that we had better refrain from answering the letter, by which decision on our part ho Would not, according to his own statement, be much disappoint ed Mr. Julius Mackenzie! Perhaps at this very time rich uncles and aunts were buttoning up their pockets against the sinner, because of his devotion to tue Spotted Dog.. There are well-to-do peo ple among the Mackenzies. It might be the case thntthat heterodox want of com prehension in regard to the trinity, was the cause of it; but we had observed that in most families, grievous ns are our doubts upon such sacred subjects, they are not.held to bo cause of hostility so in vincible as is a thorough going devotion to a Spotted Dog. If the Spotted Dog had brought about these troubles, any interposition from ourselves would bo useless. For twenty-four hours we had given up all idea of answering the letter; but it then occurred to us that men who have become disreputable us drunkards, do Unt put forth their own abominations when making appeals for aid. If-this man were really given to drink he would hardly (have told us of his associations with the public house. Probably lie was much at the Spotted Dog, and haled him self for being there. ' The more’ wo thought of it the more we fancied that the gist of hi&letter might be true.* It seemed that the man hud desired to fell tiie truth us he himself had believed it. It so happened that at that time wo had been asked to provide an-index to a cer tain learned manuscript in three volumes. The intended publisher of the work had already procured an index f.om a professional compiler of such mat ters; but the' thing had been so badly done that it cculd not he used. Some knowledge of the classics was required, , though it was not much more than a familiarity with the names of Latin and 1 Greek.authors, to which perhaps should I be-Rdded some 'acquaintance, with the names also, of the hotter known editors and commentators. The gentleman who had the task in baud had failed conspicu ously, and I had been told by my enter prising friend Mr. X , the publish er, that pounds would be i-iccij on the proper accomplishment of the un dertaking. The work, apparently so trilling in its nature, demanded a sohol- i ar’s acquirements, arid could hardly bo 1 completed in less than two months. Wo had snubbed the otter, saying’ that we* should bo ashamed to ask ah educated man to give his time and labor* for so small a remuneration ; but to Mr. Julius Mackenz'o, £23 for two months’ work would munilestly bo a .godsend. If Mr. Julius Mackenzie did in truth possess the kuowleilgejor which he gave him self credit.; if he was, as he said, .‘famil iar wirf, Latin,* and was ‘Jess ignorant of Greek than nineteen twentieths of our national scholars,* he might perhans be able to earn this £23.. We therefore wrote Co Mr. Julius Mackenzie, and re quested bis presence. ' Our note was short, cautious, and also coupcous. Wo regretted that a man so gifted should bo driven by stress of circumstances to such heed. Wo could undertukenothing, but .it it would not put him to ipo much trou ble to call upon us, we might perhaps be able to suggest sornetliihg to him. Pre cisely at the hour '.named, Mr. Julius Mackenzie came to us. We well remember his appearance, w!ii'*h was one unutterably painful to. be hold. He was a tall man, very thin, thin we might say as-a whipping post, ,were it not that one’s idea of a whip ping post conveys eroctnoss and rigidity, whereas tins man, as he stood before us, was lull of bends and curves and crook .eejness. His big-head seemed to Jean for ward over bis miserably narrow chest. — His back was bowed, and his.legs were crooked and tottering. He had told ns that he was over forty, hut we doubted, and doubt now, whether ho had not add ed something to his years, in order par tially to excuse the wan, worn weariness of his countenance* Ho an-ied an in finity of thick, ragged, wild, dirty hair, dark in color', though not black, which age had not yet begun to grizzle. He wore a miserab'e attempt at a beard, stubby, uneven, and half shorn, ns though it had been cut down within an Inch of' his cbm with blunt scissors. Ho, had two ugly projecting teeth, and hie cheeks were hollow. His eyes-were deep, sot, blit very bright, illuminating his whole face; so that it was impossible to look at him and to think him to be one wholly Insignificant. His eyebrows were large and shaggy, but well formed, not meet ing across the brow, with single, stiflly projecting hairs, —a, pair of eyebrows, which added much strength to his coun tenance. His nose was long and well shaped, but red as a huge carbuncle. —‘ The moment we saw him we connected that nose with the. Spotted Dog. It was not a blotched nose, not a, nose covered with many carbuncles,' but a brightly red, smooth, well-lormed nose, one glow ing carbuncle in itself. He was. dressed in a long brown great coat, which but toned up round ids throat, and which came nearly to his feet. The binding of the coat was frayed, the button-holes wore tattered, the velvet collar had be come party colored with dirt and usage. It was in the mouth of December, and a great .coat was deeded; but this, groat coat looked as though it were worn be cause other garments were not at his command. Not an inch of linen.or even of flannel, shirt was visible. Below his coat we could only see his broken hoots and the soiled legs of his trousers, which bad rebelled (hat ago which in trousers defies description. When we looked at him wo could not but ask ourselves whether tills man had been born a gen tleman and was still a scholar. And yet there was that in his face which prompt ed us to believe the account he had given of himself. As we looked at him wo felt sure that he possessed keen Intellect, and that he was too much of a man to boast of acquirements which ho'did not believe himself to possess. We shook hands will) him, asked him to sit down, and murmured something of.our sorrow that he should be In distress. ‘I am pretty well used to it,* said he.— There was nothing mean in his voice there was indeed a touch of humor in it, nml iu hla manner 'here was nothing of the abjectness of supplication. We inul his letter in our hands, and wo read u portion of it again as hesut opposite to us. Wo thou remarked that wo did not understand how ho, having a wife and family dependent on him, could oiler to give up a third of hisincomo with tho mere object of changing the nature of ids work. ‘You don’t know what it is,’ said h«-, ‘to write for the‘Penny Dreadfuls.’— I'm at it seven hours a day, and hate tho very words that 1 write. I cursed .my self afterwards for sending that letter.— I know that to hope is to bean ass. But [ did send it, and hero I am.' Wo looked at his nose and feU that we must bo careful before wo suggested to on?; learned friend, Dr. — ; —, to put his manuscript into the hands of Mr. Julius Mackenzie. If it had been a printed book tho attempt might have been made without' much hazard, but our friend's work, which was elaborate, ami very, learned, had not yet reached tho honors of tho printing.house. Wo,had had our tbo form of a real book ; but our friend, who was a .wealthy as well us a learhod man, was, as yet, very determined. Ho desired, at any rate, that the thlngshould be perfected, and hia publisher hud come to us oliering £25 for the codification and index. Were anything other than good to befall ids manuscript, his lamentations would bo loud, noton his own score; but on behalf of learning in general. It be hoved ua therefore to be cautious. We pretended to read the letter again, in or der that we might gain time lor a decis ion, for wo were greatly frightened by that gleaming nose. Let Uw reader understand that the | nose was by no means Bardolphlan. If wo have read Shakespeare aright, Bar* uolph’s nose was a thing of terror from I its size as well as Its hue. It was a mighty vat, into which had ascended aii°the divmest panicles distilled from the cel lars of the holsteric iu Eastcheap. Such at least is the idea which stage represen talions have left upon all our minds.— But the uose now before us was a well formed nose, would have been a com manding nose, for tbepowerof command shows Itself much in the nasal organ, had It not been for its color. While wo were thinking of Ibis, and doubting much ns to our friend's manuscript, Mr. Macken zie interrupted' us. 'You think I am a drunkard,’ said lie. The man’s mother wit had enabled him to read our inmost thoughts. As we looked up the man bad risen from bis chair, ami was standing over us. He loomed upon us very tall, although hla logs were, .crooked, and his back bent Those piercing eyes, and tiiut nose which almost assumed au air of authority as he carried it, were a great way above us.— i here seemed to bean inliuity of that old brown greatcoat. lie had divined our thoughts, and we did not dare to contra dict him. Wo feltthat a weak, unmanly smile was creeping over our face. We were smiling as a mau smiles who in tends some contemptuous assent with the self-depreciating comment of his com pnmon. Such a mode of expression is In our estimation must cowardly, and most odious. We had not Intended it', but we knew that the smile pervaded us. ‘Of course you do/ said bo. ! I was a drunk ark, but lam not one now. It doesn’t .matter; puly I wish you hadn't sent for me. I’ll go away at once.' So saying, he.was about to depart, but we.stopped him. Wo assured him with much eiH-rgy that we did not mean lo orloiid him. He protested that there was no offence. Ho was too well used to that kind of. thing to be made ‘more than wretched by it.’ Such was his heart breaking phrase. ‘As for anger, I've lost all that long ago. . Of course you take me lor a drunkard, and X should still bo a drunkard, only » ‘Only what?' I asked. . ‘■lt don’t matter,’ said he. 1 1 need hot trouble you with more than 1 hare said already. You haven’t got anything for mo to do, I .suppose?’ Thou I explained, to him that I had something no might go, if X could venture to entrust him with Hio-ttuil,, - Witli uuuuii; r yut Jiliu to sit down again, and to listen .while I explained to him the circumstances,' I hud been grievously afflicted when be alluded to his former habit of drinking,— a former habit, as lie hfmso!f no stated, — but I entertained no hesitation in raising questions ns to' his erudition. I felt al most assured that his.answers would bo satisfactory, and that no discomfiture would arise from such questioning. We were quickly able to perceive that we at any rate could,not examine him in clas sical literature. As soon as we mention ed the ihune .and nature of the‘work he wem off at score, and satisfied us amply that ho was familiar at least with the tiUe-pagesofeditions. Webegan, indeed, to fear whether he might not he too caus tic a critic on our owu friend's perform ance. ,‘Dr.—; — is only an amateur himself,' said wo, deprecating in ad vance any such exercise or the red-uosed man's too severe erudition. ‘We never get much beyond, ddettauteism here,’ said he, ‘as far as Gicek and Latin are concerned.’ What a terrible'man ho would have been could ho'have got upon the stafi’of the Saturday'Review instead of the Spoiled .Dog ! We endeavored to bring the interview loan end by .telling him that we would consult the learned Doctor fro hi whom the manuscript 1 had emanated; and wo hinted that a reference would of course bo acceptable, J-Jis impudence, or, per haps we should iatnercall ft Ills straight forward sineereamlaeilv, was unbounded •Mr Grimes.ol the Spotted Dog knows mo belter than any one else,’ said he— We blew the breath out of our mouth with astonishment. ‘l’m not askihg yon to go to him to find out whether I know Latin or Greek,’ said Mr. Macken zie. •* You must find that out for your self.’ We assured him that we thought we had found that out. ‘But he cun tell ymj that I won't pawn your manuscript.’ Ihe man was so grim and brave* that he almost frightened us. We hinted, how ever, that literary reference should be The cciuleman who paid him forty-five shillings a week, the manager, in short, of Urn « Pennv Dreadful.’ might tell us something of him.. Then ho wrote for .us a name on a scrap of paper, anil added in it an address iii the close vicinity of -Fleet Street, at which we re-- membtTvamShavo scan ihn title of a periodical which we knew to bo a ‘ I'eunv D/eadxul.' V ' " ho tuok'his leave he made.. ns, specchj again .stun(ling up over us,t lough we also were on our legs. Jt was that bend in Ins neck,. combined with his natural height, which gave him such an ulr of superiority in conversation. He seemed to overshadow us, and to have his own way with us, because tic was en abled to looic down upon us. Theh*..wes a foot-stool on our hearth-rug, and were member to have attempted to stand upon that, in order that wo might escape this supervision ; bu,t we stumbled and had to kick it from us, anti something was added to our sense of inferiority by this little failure. 1 1 don’t expect much from this/ lie said, ‘I never do expect much. And I have misfortunes' independent of my poverty, which makes it impossible, that I should bo other than a miserable wretch.’ ‘‘Bad health V we asked. ‘No ; nothingabaolutoly personal; but never mind, . I must not trouble you .with more of my history. But iTyou can do this thing forme, it may he the means of redeeming mo from utter degradation.’ Wo then assured, him that we would do our best, ami he lelt us with a promise that be would call again on that day week. The first step we took in his behalf, was on tbo very idea of which had at lirat almost moved nli to ridicule. Wp made inquiry respecting Mr. Julius Mackenzie, of Mr. Grimes the landlord of the Spotted Do#, Though Mr. Grimes did keep tho Spotted Dog, ho might ho a man of sense And, possibly,of conscience. Atuny rule ho would tell us something, or confirm onr doubts by refusing to tell us anything. We found Air. Grimes-seated in a very neat little back parlor,and were peculiar ly taken by the appearance of a !ady y !n a little cap ami black silk gown, wlio wo soon found to be Airs. Grimes. Had we ventured to employ our intellect in per sonifylng loroursHvea an Imaginary Mrs, Grimes as the landlady of a Spotted Dog. public h- use In Liquorpond fcltrcct, the figure we should have built up would have been tho very opposite of that which this lady presented to us. Sho was-slim, and young, and pretty, and had pleasant little tricks of words, in spite of occasion- al slips in her grammar, which made us almost think that it might be our duty to pome very often to the Spotted Dog to inquireahout Mi. Julius Mackenzie. Mr. Grimes was a man about forty, fully lon years the senior of his wife, with a clear grey eye, and a mouth and chin from which we surmised that he would bo competent to clear the Spotted Dog of un ruly visitors after twelve o’clock, when ever it might ho ids wish to do so. We seen madeknown'our request. Mr. Mac kenzie had come to ua for literary em ploymentT-~Could~lhey toll"ns-anytiling about Mr. Mackenzie. ‘ He’s as clever an author in the way of writing and that kind of thing, as there Js in all London,' said Mrs. Grimes witli energy. Perhaps boropinion ought not to have been taken for much, but it hud its weight. We explained, however, that at the present moment we were es pecially anxious, to know something of the gentleman’s character and mode of life. Mr. Grimes, whoso manner to us was quite courteous, sat silent, thinking how to answer us. His more impulsive and friendly wife was again-ready with her assurance. ' There ain’t an honester gentleman breathing; and Isay hols tv gentleman, though he’s that poor he hasn't sometimes a shirt to his back.' 1 1 don't think he’s ever very well off for shirts,’'Said Mr. Grimes. ’l* wouldoit’ bo slow to give him one of yours, John, only I know he* wouldn’t take it,’ said Mrs. Grimes, * Well, now, look here* sir; we’ve that feeling for him that our young woman there would draw anything for him he'd ask, —money or no money. She’d never venture to name money to him if ho wanted a glass of anything, hot or cold* beer or spirits.— Isn't that so, John V’ ‘She’s fool enough for anything as far ns I know’ said, Mr, Grimes. ‘She ain’t no fool at all, and I’d do the same if I was there : and su’d you, Job n. There is nothing Mackenzie’d ask as he wouldn’t give him,’ said Mrs. Grimes, pointing her thumb over her shoulder- to her husband, who was standing on the hearth-rug; ‘that is, In the way of draw- 1 ing liquor, and refreshments, and snob 1 ike. But he never raised a glass to his i lips in this house as he didn’t pay for, nor yet took a biscuit out of that basket. He’s n gentleman all over, is Mackenzie.’ It was strong testimony; but still we had not quite got at the bottom of the mat ter.' 'Doesn't lie raise a great many glasses to his lips?-’ wo asked. . ‘-No I>« dpn’t,’ said Mrs. Grimes, 'only in reason.’ * * \ ‘He’s had misfortunes,’ said Mr. Grimes. ‘lndeed and he has,’ said the lady, what I call the. very trou'hlesomest of troubles. If you was troubled like him, John, where’d you be?’.* ‘I know where you’d bo,’said John, He’s got a bad wife, sir; Dio worst ever was,’ continued Mrs. Grimes. ‘Talk of drink ; there is nothing that woman wouldn tdo for it. She’d pawn the very clothes off her children’s back in the mid-winter to get it. She’d rob the food out of her husband’s mouth for a drop of gin. Ah for herself, she ain’t no wo rnan’e notions left of keeping herself any i way. She’d os soon be picked out of the gutter as not; as for the word** out of her mouth or clothes on her back, she hasn’t got, sir, not an item of a female feeling .loft about her.’ bad been very eloquent, and had painted the ‘tronblesomest of all troubles,’ with glowing words. This was what the wretched man bad come to by marrying a woman who was not a la- i dy, m order that he might escape.the •conventional thraldrom’ of gentility ! Out bin j me urunKeu wire whs not an.— I hero was the evidence of his own nose I against himself, and the additional fact that’.bo hud acknowledged himself to nave been formerly a drunkard. ‘I sup pose he has drank himself?’ we said ‘Ho has drunk, in course,’ said Mrs. Grimes. . ‘But he don’t drink now,’ continued the lady. ‘At least, if he do, wo don’t see it. As for her, she 'wouldn't show heraelfiuside ourdnbr.’ • ‘lt ain't often that man and wife draws their milk from the same cow,’ said Mr. Grimes. But Mackenzie Is hero every day of his life,’said Mrs. Grimes. ‘When he’s got a sixpence to pay for It, he’ll come in bero and have a glass ol beer and a bit of something to oat. Wo does make him a little extra welcome, and that’s the truth of it. Wo knows what bo is, and we knows what he was. As for book learn ing, sir; it don’t matter what language |t is, its all ns one .to him. He knows otn all around just as- I know l mv cate chism.’ - ‘Can’t you say fairer thanhbat for him, Polly;?’asked Mr. Grimes. ‘Don’t yon talk of catechisms, John ; nor yet as nothing else as a man ought to set hiH mind to; unless it is In-keeping the Spotted Dog. But as for Mackenzie; lie knows off by heart, whole hooks full ol learning. There was some furretiers heic as came from, —I don’t know wheie it was they came from, only it wasn’t I ranee, nor yrt Germany, and he talked to, thorn just as-though ho hadn’t been horn In England at all. I don’t think there ever was such a man for knowing things. He’ll go on with poetry out of his head till you think it comes* from. him like web from a spider.’ We could not help thinking of the wonderful compan-. lonship which there must have been in that parlor while the reduced marr was spinning his web/and Mrs, Grhnos, with her needle-work lying Idle In her lan, was sluing 1 -by, listening wllh rapt, adm'i mlion. In passing hy the Spoiled Dog one would mo imagine such a scene to have Us existence within. But then so many tilings do have existence of which wo imagine nothing. ‘ Mr. Grimes.ended tf)e'interview. ‘The | fact is sir, if you can give him employ- I ment belter than what he has now, you'll 1 he helping a man wuo has seen bettor days, and who only wants help to see’em, again. He’s got‘it all there,’ and Mr.' Giimes put his Huger up to his head. \Hi*’h got it. ail here, too,’ said Mrs. Grimes, laying .her hand upon her heart. Hereupon we took our leave, suggesting to these‘excellent friends, that if it should come to puss that we had further dealings., with Mr. Mackenzie wo might perhaps trouble them again. They .assured us that wo'should be always welcome, and Mr. Grimes himself saw us to the door, having made profuse oilers of such good cheer- as the house afforded. We were upon the whole much taken with the i Spotted Dog. , 1 From thence we went to the office of the ‘Penny Dreadful,’ in the vicinity of Fleet street. As we walked thither we could not but think of -Mrs. Grimes’ words. The tronblesomest of troubles ! We acknowledged to ourselves that they were true words. Cun there beany trou ble more troublesome than that ol suffer ing from the shame indicted by a degrad ed wife? We hud just parted from Mr. Grimes, not, indeed, having seen very much of hlni/irTtho course of pur Inter view, but little as we had seen, we were sure that he was assisted in his position by a buoyant pride in that he called him self the master, and owner, and husband of Mrs. Grimes. In the very step with which he passed in and out of his own door, you oould see that there noth ing he was ashamed of about his house hold. When abroad he could talk of his ‘ missus,’ with .i conviction that the pic ture which the word would convey toall who heard him would redound to his honor. But what must have been the reflections of Julius Mackenzie when his mind dwelt upon his wife? Wo remem bered the words of ids letter. ‘X have a w4fo and four children, which burden forbids me to free myself from all care witha baro bodkin.’ As we thought of them, ami of the story which had been told to us at the Spotted Dog, they lost that tone of rhodomoiitado-wUh which they Tiad invested themselves when we first road them. A wife who la indiffer ent to-being picked out of the gutter, ami who will pawn her childien’a clothes for gin, must ho a trouble than which none can bo more troublesome. Wo did not find that we ingratiated ourselves with the people at the ollleo of the periodical for which Mr. Mackenzie worked; and yet we endeavored to do so, assuming in our manner and tone some* thing of the familiarity of a common pursuit. After much delay weeame upon a gentleman sitting in a dark cupboard, who twisted rouun- hty"stool to face us while he spoke to us. Wo bslievo that he was the editor of more than one ‘Pen*, ny Dreadlul,’ and that as many as a dozen novels were being Issued to the t the same time, _lol)l—said"lTe*," T ao you’re at that wnrlc vialoj Kamo, uve you?' -Wo assured him that we were at noymuo at all, hut were simp ly influenced by a desire to assist a dis tressed scholar. ‘ That he blower!,’ said' our brother. ‘Mackenzie’s doing as well hero na he’ll do anywhere. He’s a drun ken blackguard, when all’s said and done. 80 you’re going lo buy him up, are you ? You won't keep him long, and then he’ll have to starve.' Wo assured the gentle man that wo had no desire to buy up Mr. Mackenzie j we explained our ideas as to the freedom of the literary profession, In accordance with widely Mr, Mackeuizo* could not he wrong in applying to us for work; and wo especially deprecated any severity on our brother’s part towards 70MTHW). 3, the man, more especially bogging tbaf nothing might bo clodded, ns we were far from thinking it certain that wo could provide Mr* Mackenzie with any literary employment. ‘That’s all right,’ said our. brother, twisting back his stool. ‘He can’t work for both of us; that's all. He has his bread hero regular, week niter week ; and I don’t suppose you’ll do ns much lor him as that.’ Then we went away, shaking tho dust oOT our feet, and wondering much at tho great develop ment of literature which latter years have produced. We had not even known of tho existence of these-papers ; and yet there they were, going forth into the hands of hundreds of thousands of rea ders, all of whom were being, more dr less, instructed in their modes of life and manner of thinking, by the stories which were thus brought before them. But there niitrht bo truth in what our brother had said to us. Should Mr, Mac* kenkie abandon his present engagement for the sake of the job which we proposed to putin his hands, migho he not thereby injure rather than improve his prospects? Wo wore acquainted with only one learn ed doctor desirous of having* his manu scripts codified and indexed at his owu expense. As for writing for the periodical with which wo.were connected, we knew enough of the business to bo aware that Mr. Mackenzie’s gift of erudition would very probably not so much assist him in attempting such work ns would his Jato 'trailing act against him. A man might be able to read and even talk a dozen languages—‘justns though he hadn’tbeen born in England at all,’—and yet not “‘write the language with which we dealt after the fashion 'which suited our read* era. It might ho that he would fiy much | above our heads, and do work infinitely ! too big for us. We did not regard our own heads as being very high. But, for such altitude as they held, a certain class of writing was adapted. „The gentleman whom we had just loft would require, no doubt, altogether another style. It was probable that Mr. Mackenzie had already fitted himself lo his present audience. And, even were it not so, w© could, not promise him forty-live shillings a week, or even that thirty shillings for which he asked. There is nothing more dangerous than the attempt to befriend a man in middle life by transplanting, him- from' one soil to another. When Mr,. Mackenzie camo to u.-. again, we emlnavni'fliMo •attain all tills to him. We had in the meantime seen our friend the Doctor, whose beneficence nfspirlt In regard to the unfortunate man of letters was extreme... He was charmed with our account of tho man, and saw with Ids mind’s eye tho work, for the performance :of which'ho was pining, perfected In a manner that would bo a blessing to the scholars or all future ages. Ho was at first anxious to ask Julius Mackenzie down lo his reclbry, and, even after we nad explained to him that this would not at prosent .be expedient, was full of a dream of future friendship with a man who would be able to discuss the digamma with him, who would havestudled Greek metres, and have an opinion ot his own us to Person’s canon. We were in pos session of tho manuscript, and had our friend’s authority for handing it over to Mri Mackenzie. ! ‘ Ho camo to ua according to appoint ment, and bis noso. seemed to bo redder than ever, we thought that we dlscov eied a discouraging flavor nf spirts In bis, breath.
