This subject reiinds 'o of a pri vate letter recently received from London r'specting George Eliot, whose maiden namo was Marion Evans, aid Who is now the wife of George Henry Loewes. Bho is regar dod over theru as she is here, as the first of living E, nglish novelists. Though plain, 6he is not positively liomely, as is geieralfy 'represented, and her face, when ttniiated by 'c. vorsation, is said to be handsome. Tier figure is good, her bearing grace ful, and her manners elegant. Very say1hy nature, and rendered more so by the penaliar circumstances -of hr marriage, Ehe is averse to meeting btrangers, and is usually very reserv ed and silent in compum. unoless it be compoced of her i t .- ' Her friends almost wcrs-lip a ad those who have met her on familiar terms invariably speak of liar as charming. When freed from re straint, when the ice is melted be-,f tween her and her visitors, she talks with wondeiful case and 'eloquence. I Jinlike naany gifted persons, tile does not monopolie. the conversation, but draws others out boy her sensible sym pathy with an interest in them. Not a few of lier admirers think that her' speech is even superior to her written thought and no one can fully appre ciate George Eliot until he has beard her talk. 'On her imnuscript she toila tro- t Iiandously, vorling on an average of t six hours a day, and rarely accom pli.-hing in thaL timio more -than three hundred or four lilndred words. Her'labors are so exhaustive that she devotes all the remainder of her tine to recreation and rest. She has been ur-ged to ubandon literary labors for F the benefit af her health ; but she is unwilling to (o so delaring she could not live wit!out writ ing ; that wi iting more than aught else, constitutes her truest li fe. 8he ist xooeding ambitious; and, conscious that Ae has a vast reputation to sustain, she is constant ).y striving to surpass hur previous ef forto. Eminent as a novoliit, her dearest desire is to be a great poet. Pletry, indeed, she considore he forto, nna her disappointment at the reception of the "Spanish Gipsy," on which she had hoped to rest her fame, was of the deepest and bitterest kind. She regards stories as altogether in. ferior to her poetry, and is astonished that the publit can hold a different opinion. The exttaordinary success of "Middlemarch" delights her, for she admits that it is her bst prose work, and it is rare that the judgment of an author upon his or her labor is thoroughly indorsed by the readcr. George Mtiot's books have been very profitable. She has published ilne or ten volumnes, and received fol them~ nearly $150,000, having hora paid $4l0,000 ou'right for "Middle march" alone, it is asserted that she is now engaged upon still nnother novel, which she expects to b e her Cluf-d' weuvre, and which will not. I' iuished, probably before 1875, The vetaran Deter, Richings, on one occasion, at least, f'ound that it was aim oat as import ant for a aupo to know his part as for the chief actors In t.ho transformat ion scone with which he wats used( to end one of his pieces, the flats drew off for the laest tableau, and discovered his~ daughter and himself in apotheosis in the clouds.

"Come dlown, yon -oiunid rel come down at once !' ejonulated Peter, w ho imagined the mian was ebaflinag him.
