A LONG LAUGH. One day, when in the study of her hovat, then almost undei- the shadow of Westminster Abbey, Mir i Harriet Martineau heard a prodigious sli lut of laughter on th« staircase. Presently in came Thomas Carlyle, laughing aloud. He said he had been laughing all the way from Charing Cross, where he had been in a printing-office. Aa soon as he could he told the lady what was the cause of his prolonged laughter. Ha had been to the office of his printers to expedite the production of his " Miscellanies," his first work published in book form in London. In this, says Miss Martineau, almost every other word was altered by the author. , The manager said to the author, " Sir, you are really very hard on us with your corrections; they take a deal of time." Carlyle observed that he had been " aecustomed to this kind of thing, that he had got works printed at Edinburgh," &c, &c. " Yes, indeed, sir." interrupted the printer, "we are arware of that. We have a man had; burned his fingers, and cried out, " Lord, have mercy, on us 1 Have you got that terrible man to print for ? The Lord only knows when you'll get done." Carlyle said he could not repiy to this foi laughing, and had been laughing ever since.
