Old age creeps on. Into the narrow

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
l-GeniusSrushes like a whirlwind-
Talent marches Ikea cayalcade Of hea-
/ Wy men and heavy horses Cleverness
skins like a swallow in s,,mmereven-

sudden turning. The man Of genius
dwells with men and with nature; and
1.-THE man Of talent in his study; but the
Clever fellow dances here, there, and
EVERY where, like butterfly in hur-
ricane, striking every thing and enjoy
ing nothing, but too light to be dash
ed to pieces. The man Of talent will
attack theories; the clever man assails
the individual, but the man of genius
despises both; he heeds none, he fears
none, he lives in himself. shrouded in
the consciousness of his own strength,
he intcrfcres withnone, and walksforth,
the example, that seaglesfy alone, they
are but sheep that herd together It
is true, that should poisonous worm
cross his path, he may tread it under
his foot; should cur snarl at him, he
may chastise it; but he will not, cannot
attack the privacy Of another. Clever
men write veyses, men oftalcnt write
prose, but the man Of genius writesp o-
