lut~tANt REPART1E5s.--The deoxo
terous leap of thoug4 bfwnich tbe
mind escapes from a s6emmgly hobeless
dilemma, is worth all the vestments of
dignity which the world holds. It was
this readiness in repafteo which con
tinually saved Voltaire from social over
turn. lie once praised another writer
very heartily to a third persbn. 'It is
very strange,' was the reply, 'that you
speak so weell of hii, [or he say that
you are a charlatan.' '0!' replhed \U
taie, 'I think it very likely tihat botil of
us may be mistaken.' Again, you
LuIst all have heard- the anecdote of the
young gentleman who was discoursing
very dogmatically about the appropriate
sphere of woman. 'And pray, sir,'
screamed out an old lady, 'what is the
ppropriate sphere of woman?' 'A cc
lestial sphere, madam!' Robert Hall
did not lose his power of retort even in
athiess. A hypocrital condoler with
hi misfortunevs onice visited himn in thle
mad-house, and said, in a whining tone,
-What brought you here, Mr. 11all?'
siginificaitly touched his brow with his
inger, aniid replied, 'What'll never
bring you sir,-tou inuch brain.' A
rapid change from enthusiasm to non
chalance is often necessary in society.
Thus a persun onre eloquiently culogiz
ing the aiigelie qualities of Joan of A re,
was sudldeily met by the petulant ques
tion, ' W hait was Joan of Arc made of?'
'She was Maid of Orleans.' A Yankee

gar is seen among the mists of Niagara.
One of this class sauntered into the
o!lee of the lightning telegraph. arid
asked how long it would take tc transmit
a rucssage to Washiington. 'Tet inin
iutes,' was the repily. 'I can't wait,' was
the rejoinder. Sheridan, who never
was without a reason, never failed to ex.
tricato hiiself in any eimergeicy by
his wit. At a country house, where he

what I have here said is supported by
the general remark, that drunkenness
is but seldom seen in France; and when
it is, it does not proceed from the use
of the common wine which enters so
largely into the sustenance of the peas

brandy and foreign wines, particularly

TNCONSISTENCIES'.OF GENIUS.--Of
the relations of atithors to social life, of
their habits, mannets, dispositions in
Society, as contrasted with those dis-.
played in their writings, a great deal
that is intetesting might be said. A
man of letters is often a man wit two
natures,-one a book nature, the othet
a human nature. These two often
clash sadly. Seneca wrote inq praise
of poverty, on a table formed .o solid
gold, with two niillions of pounds let
out at usury. Sterne was a very selfish
man; yet a writer unexcel!ed for pathos
and charity. Sir Richard Steele wrote
excellentlv well on temperance, when
he was sober. Dr. Johuson's essays
on puliteness were admirable; yet, ls
'You lie, sir!' and ' You don't under-'
stand the question, sit!' were too com
mon characteristics of his colloquies.
Ile and Dr. Shelbeare were both pen.
sioned at the same time. The report
immediately flew, that the king had pen.
sioned two Lears, a he-bear and a she
bear. Young, whose gloomy fancy
east such somore tinges on life, was in
society a briEk, lively man, continually
pelting his hearers with puerile puns.
Mrs. Carter. fresh from the stern, dark
granduer of the Night Thoughts, ox
pressed her amazement at his flippancy
'Madam,' saidl he, 'there is much di
fercmee between writing and talking.'
The same poet's favorite theme was tie
nothingness of worldly things; his fa
vorite pursutits was rank and riches.
Had Mrs. Carter noticed this incongru.
ity, sie might have added. 'Madam,
there is much difference between wri
ting didactic poemns and living didactic
poems.' Bacon, the most comprehen

longs to wi-iting. True, the production
of ideas must ever stand first, but to
what undue lengths will the unchecked
fancy go even in the strongest minds;
and it is only by keeping them within
proper bounds, discarding the weak and
superfluous, and adopting the true and
heautitil, that we can ever hope to give
anything worthy-of the admiration of
posterity. Soine can never write a letter
without filling the whole sheet, and if
the ink holds out they will write across
aid across the paper again; so that what
at first was searcely iitelligibleat last
defies not only the skill and ingenuity of
man to uinderstand, but defeats every
a' temlpt to read it, while a clever man's
letter is ever short, pithy, an11d intelli

at the end of his e pistle. Many a young

find a friendly ielcome from hearti
beating true to your own. The chose
partner of your toil has a amile of ap
probation when others have deserted, 1
band to help when all others refuse
and a heart to feel your sorrows as he
