Carlyle And His Canadian Sweetheart

l

i

(By Blodwen Davies in the Canadian Magazine.)

It was in the year when the girl- queen, Victoria, became a bride, a gay, elegant year in old London. Men and women. now pleasantly romantic phantoms, moving across the pages of reminiscences and diaries, were then accustomed to iide together‘ along the padded trail of Rotten Row,

There, one morning, near to the gateway of Hyde Park, two riders ap- proached each other. One was a man somewhere over forty years of age, watching the fashionable show with a half-cynical, half-amused air. He was one of the mightiest of them all, but only a few of them suspect- ed it. In a ﬂash he was tumbling from the lofty perch of his cool re- ﬂections, falling trembling, shaken upon the ruins of a youthful dream.

The woman rider who had crossed

his vtsionwas a handsome, elegant- ly dressed, fair-skinned woman, who was idly and thoughtfully tapping her shoe with her riding crop. As they met she raised her eyes, her glance drawn magnetically toward him. For a transitory moment their eyes met and pierced, soul deep. Then without missing a hoof beat, her horse carried on, without a word, and she was gone. None of the chat- tering crowd knew that for an in- slant the world had stood still, that a man and a woman, with lightning swiftness, had rehearsed scenes of tenderness, of devotion, of agony. The man was Thomas Cnrylethc woman was his Canad rmccthcart, Margaret Gordon. It was a score of years sincc Car- lylc and Margaret had said their, stormy adicux, each of them had takcn other mates, yet when many, many more years had passed Tho- mas Cnrlyle sct down that chalice, that brief encounter, among his‘ memories. What would have been! the life story of Carlyle if Margaret! Gordon, and not Jane Welsh,‘ had‘ become his wife?

There is unlimited material for; speculation there, and for one thing, Prince Edward Island would have had a greater share of fame, for Margaret Gordon was born in Charlottetown.

It was in 1770 that all Irishman, Lvlllilar Patterson, arrived in the. Island of St. John, as it thcn was. to act as zldlnfnistrutol- of lhc Brl . colony. He loved the Island andhc madr. enormous personal sacriﬁces for il., and in rl-turn he cxpccted to be allowed to rule with all the outn- cracy of one of his own early Irish kings.

On the Island, Governor Patter- son contracted un irregular union with a pretty girl by the 'name of Margaret Hydc, one of a family which had crossed in the same year. and perhaps in the same vcsselwlth Patterson.

Three years previously, when the whole of the island had been given away in one way, by o. curious lottery ill London, Patterson and his brother John hnd drawn Lot Nineteen be- tween them, in return for pre- vious services to the state. That lot lies along the shores of Malpeqilc

\ Bay, bllt when Patterson established

a home hc ad acquired land across the harbor from Charlottetown on the site of the old French Fort L1- ioie and there he and Margaret Hyde lived ill the dwelling of the last Frcnch Governor. Among their four children was Margaret Patter- son.

Enter Margaret Gordon.

Twenty years after Governor Pat- terson's arrival, young Dr. Alexan- der Gordon was granted land in the Capital, on part of which St. James‘ Presbyterian church stands today. A few months after he acquired the land hc was married, presumably in St. Paul's church, to Margaret Put- tcrson. wh-ilc her father was in Loli- dnn struggling for a. recognition of ills rights on the Island. To Alexan- der Gordon and his wlfc were born four children whose births and bap- tlsms are registered in the old rc- cords of St. Pauls church. There you may read that on August 24th, i798, was born Margaret Gordon and there she was baptized on the 23rd of September, 1799.

Dr. Gordon was neither a very lucky nor a very prudent man. In 1800 he was appointed apothecnry to the forces in Nova Scotia and in August of that year he set out with Mrs. Gordon and his four little chi!- drcn for Halifax, his property bein r seized to satisfy his Island creditors. None of them ever returned, except Margaret who a half century later came back to the salute of guns, to

The Young Sclloolmastcr,-- Thomas Carlyle

The girls went to a private school in Kirkaldy, presided over by a young and brilliant mastcr-Jﬂdward Irving. He was a severe disciplin- arlan, even in those days when the rod ivas an integral part of "duca- tlon. But Irving was so liberul with lllS floggings that even Kirka‘ ‘v re- belled and set up an opposition school. The new school master came from Edward Irving's home. and his name was Thomas Carlyle.

Irving opened his home, his lib- rary and his heart to his rival and there in Kirkcaldy was founded one of the notable friendships of the nineteenth centuries.

The tastes of Irving and Carlyle had much in common. Irving aban- doned his customary walks and talks with his pupils and devoted himself almost exclusively to Car- lyle. They spent hours and even

ing their dearest confidence in the quaint formal restraint of a century past.

Carlyle was now more chccrfill, more ambitious than he had ever been before, fired with a desire to make a pllice in the world for Mar- garet. He was already earning con- siderably more than the combined income of Mrs. Usher and her two nieces, but he wanted to set his feel. firmly on the path that led up to succeess. He contemplated emigrat- ing to the new world as a speedy means of ndvullcelncnt, but perhaps it was too fall" from Margaret. Sup- posing hc had comc, to the land of Margarctks birth and that Margaret luul followed him!

lllstcad hc wont to Edinburgh. How he kcpt up his correspondence with Margaret, nobody knows, but young people ol‘ his day were adopt at clandestine correspondence, sc- cret trysts and so on, as thc art and literature of that time indicate. Fin- ally he made up his mind to cuter law and he consulted Margaret on the subject. Margaret approved, and must hape hoped that eventually hc would be able to satisfy her Aunts demands.

The Rift in the Lute.

Yet it was not long afterwards that Margaret wrote him that their wssclciation must cease, that she could llcvcr bl: more than a friend to him. There was an impassioned znterview. in which Carlyle begged

sternly rcfilsedto return to their old relationship. Carlyle describes the lneetlng—or the parting-in Sartor Resartus, for in that, Blumine is drawn from Margaret Gordon, and Garlyles own story is told in part. Of that farewell Mrs. Usher was ap- parently not aware, for she arrang- ed that Margaret and Carlyle should bid each other a formal adieu. That painful visit to Kirkcaldy was the last time that Carlyle ever spoke to

terview. Mrs. Usher. "the lean, ni- llcrly dame," stood guard.

Carlyle did not tnkc his dismissal busily. Hc thereafter prcsscd his claims upon hcr storlnily and carn- estly and apparently. they found ways and means to keep up thcir clandestine correspondence fnr a time. In mic of Mllrgzircbs lcttcrs shc writes him:

"To possess your friendship. I have often said was ll consllllll, source of delight to mc: to lose it. you may believe, was proportionate- ly painful. Your coming to sec me hi Fife appeared not only a proof of the noblc triumph you have obtain- r-d over your weakness lforgivc the expression) but seemed an intima? tlon that I still was thought worthy of that esteem with which you for- mcrly honored me. If'ever I may have the opportunity of hclirlngl from yourself that in this my last‘ conjecture I am not mistaken, time‘ alone can determine."

After describing to him her plans for the nextvfcw months shc goes on: that slic wrltcs with "the as- surance that such a relation of my proposed wandcrlngs will not hc troublesome to a fricnd, a name by which I hope I shall always call you." , Yct in the years to come no one cvcr heard the nnmc of Carlyle 118.85 hcr lips! “You must not wear out your constitution by such continual- application," shr warns him, “still pcrmit me to entreat you not to dc- sert the path Nature has so evident- ly marked you should walk in. lt is true it is full of rugged obstacles, interspersed with littlc to charm thc senses; yet these present a strug-
