SELF-GOVERNMENT.—Let not any one say be cannot govern his passions, nor hinder them from breaking out and carrying him into action ; for what he can do before a prince or a great man, he can do alone, or in the pre sence of God, if he will.—Locke. MOZART ON COMPOSING. — During one of his jour neys, Mozart was the guest of a musician, whose son, a boy of twelve years old, already played the pianoforte very skillfully. " But, Herr Kapellmeister," said the boy, " 1 should like very much to compose something. How am I to begin ?" " Pho, pho, you must wait." " You composed much earlier." " But asked nothing about it. If one has the spirit of a composer, one writes because one cannot help it." At these words, which were uttered in a lively manner by Mozart, the boy looked downcast and ashamed. He, however, said, " I merely meant to ask if you could recommend me any book." " Come, come," returned Mozart, kindly pat ting the boy's cheek, " all that's of no use. Here, here, and here," pointing to the ear, the head, and the heart, "is your school. If all is right there, then you may take the pen without delay."—Life of Mozart. THE BOOK TRADE IN ANCIENT ROME.—The nature of the Roman book-trade is imperfectly known. The demand created the supply, and the publisher rose as the reader appeared. It had grown into a distinct branch of •com merce in the time of Augustus, before whose reign litera ture could not be said to have attained to any magnitude or importance. The Roman bookseller was necessarily his own printer, in a day when press and types were alike unknown ; that is, he multiplied books by transcription, and, when the demand was considerable, obtained the aid of clever assistants in the same craft. We can fancy that Horace's booksellers, the brothers Sosii, must have fre quently felt the pressure of a rapid run. In such a case a very correct edition was not to be hoped for; and Mr. Barclay would feel justly indignant if Oliver Yorke were to open his October number with the same apology which Martial offered for his rhymes, mutilated by the impe tuosity of the transcriber. A purchaser, therefore, was often obliged to submit the copy of a book to theauthor, and to depend for accuracy upon his emendations. Of course this favour could only be asked from friends ; and if Mr. Moore had lived with Virgil, one would scarcely have known where to look for a correct version of the " Light of Other Days," except in the library of a Lans downe, a Rogers, or a Blessington.—Fraser's Magazine. THE CAUDLE LECTURES.—Whence, we ask, is the universal favour with which these Caudle lectures are re ceived? Our own first impulse was to set a chivalrous heel upon them, in the belief that they were a preposterous and unmanly libel on the sex. With a Desdemona-like innocence—if we may thus confound genders—we argued that there was "no such woman." Ours was a blissful ignorance, like that which hallowed the first joys of Para dise. But the fruit of a bitter knowledge has been forced to our lips. The whole wedded world have cried out " how truthful ! " A. candid and fearless correspondent of our own (only recently emerged from the fabled sweets of the honey moon) has pronounced them " inimitable." We cannot resist such testimony. Partitions are thick and curtains close drawn ; and what is a mere idea—a myth—in opposition to nightly experience? Our gal lantry in this instance falls back disarmed, and we feel compelled to accept Mr. Caudle as the type of universal wifehood. The secret which weakness winked at—which pity veiled—or which pride denied—is blazoned to the world. Not a cowed benedict of them all had courage to proclaim the wounding truth ; but they nevertheless ap plaud Caudle for making known their sufferings to man kind. Some of them muster even heart and make signifi cant allusion to the candling which goes on at home. Not long ago we heard a f ol.hardy husband call his wife " Mrs. Caudle," plump before a whole company of people. What was this but to murder sleep as with a couple of " Welsh rabbits ?" As we bugged our own cozy inde pendence, how we pitied the imprudent man that night. Glasgow Citizen. DIVINE PROVIDENCE OVER ENGLAND.—In the war of our time, the greatest since the tall of the Roman em pire—the war of the French Revolution—l think, that I can trace a divine protection, distinctly given to England as the champion of justice, honour, and religion. I offer but the outline of this view ; but to me the proof is de monstrative.—ln every instance in which France aimed an especial blow at England, that blow was retorted by an especial retribution; while her assaults on the con tinental kingdoms were made with triumphant impunity. I give the examples. The French expedition to Egypt was formed with the express object of breaking down the ilfluence of England in the East, and ultimately sub verting her Indian empire—that expedition was thefirst which tarnished the military renown of the Republic, cost her a fleet, and lost her an army. Of the army which Napoleon led to Egypt, not a battalion returned to Europe but as the prisoners of England! The French invasion of Spain was a blow aimed expressly at Eng land. Its object was the invasion of England—the Spanish war broke down the military renown of the Em pire, and was pronounced by Napoleon to be the origin of his ruin ! The invasion of Russia was a blow aimed expressly at England. Its object was the extinct;on of English commerce in the whole sea-line of the north — that invasion was punished, by the ruin of the whole ve teran army of France! Napoleon himself at length met the troops of England. He met them with an arrogant assumption of victory—" Ah! je les tiens, ces Anglais." Never was presumption more deeply punished. This single conflict destroyed him; his laurels, his diadem, and his dynasty, were blasted together !"—Blackwood. IDLENESS AND MISERY OF THE IRISH. — The limes Commissioner, in writing from Galway says, " I had the opportunity the other day of visiting the estate of Lord Wallscourt, near Galway, a nobleman who has made great sacrifices and exertions to improve his tenants. Still, with every advantage of nature round him,—abun dance of fish of every kind, oysters and muscles ; manure, seaweed, calcareous sea-sand, marl, peat, and black mud sea deposit,—he complains that he cannot get his tenants to exert themselves beyond their half-acre of potatoes, and he has the greatest difficulty to prevent them under letting their land in conacre at £4 or £5 the acre, which he sets to them for 305., if they have any land beyond Observe that the Signature of the Proprietor, "G.

A Violet on the meadow lay, And dreamt its youthful hours away ; It was a lovely blossom.* And o'er the lea a shepherd.maid In joyous mirth so lightly strayed; Across, across The lea she tripped, and sang. Ah ! thought the Violet, would I were The fairest flower of Nature fair, To deck yon maiden's bosom : That she might pluck me from my rest, And I might die upon her breast; Yes there, yes there, I'd fade without a pang. The maiden came, but—tale of woe She mark'd not there the violet low, But crushed its gentle blossom. It sang, and died without a sigh, " And if I fall, at least I die Through her, through her, Beneath her feet I die." * A very poor expression of the German exquisite " hersig's veikhen," which is indeed untranslateable. - - New Quarterly Review VARIETIES COMING EVENTS, &c.—As many as 17,000 news papers have been found in the General Post-office with their covers burst.
