JOHN RUSKIN.

rTO TIIE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.1 SIR,—I have letters of John Ruskin's, dated June, 1867, which, if his own word is to be relied upon, would seem to prove that the last attachment referred to in the Spectator of October 25th did not by any means suffer blight merely "on the ground of religious differences." With regard to his " nr,t being a frequenter of society," a piece of his advice to myself comes at once forcibly to mind: "Fit yourself studiously for the very bast society, and then—carefully keep out of it !"— I am, Sir, &c., ONE WHO KNEW AND LOVED HIM.
