HIS LEARNING.

Calvin's style, both in Latin and
French, is remarkable force. clearness,
and facility. Like all men Of truly
deep thought, he never leaves his read
.r a, loss for his meaning. 1t is only
the pre,cnders to profundity who puzzle
by reflections which they have not the
power to dcvc'ope clearly in their own
minds. His Latin style is not marked
by unnecessary rcrjiogc, merely for the
sake of rounding period. by any afiec-
tation Of Ciceronian purity, the beset-
ting snare Of the writers Of that age +;
and if it be truly remarked that the
best test Of modern Latin is that it
should be read with facility aud plea
sure by a scholar, Calvin's may be pro-
nounccd excelent; There is hardly,
perhaps, "A sentence in his works that
requires to be read twice in order to be
understood. Bossuet draws the follow
ing parallel between him and Luther :
Let US then yield to Calvin, since he
is so DESTROYS Of it, the glory Of having
written as any man of his age ; nay, let
us even place him. if you will, above
Luther: for though Luther had more
lively and original turn Of mind, Cal
vim, though inferior in genius, seemed
to carry off the palm by study. In ora
discourse Luther triumphed; but Ca!
wins pen was more correct, especially
in Latin, and his style, which was more
severe, was also more connected and re
I fined. Both excellent in speaking ,hei
native tongue, and both possessed al
extraordinary vehemence." To these
testimonies nigh, be added that of ID
Alembert, and other more modern wri
ters.
/ Calvin was a fair Greek scholar
though in this branch Of learning h
was undoubtedly surpassed by some O
his contemporaries. His knowledge q
Hebrew is said to have been only mod
crate.

The fact is, gentlemen said one Of
the party who were enjoying themselves
in private room, over gla of wine,
and talking politics, there are mighty

er, who had a sly twinkling of hunor
in his eye. During the campaign of
'4S, when the prominent advocates Of
democracy and whisgery were canvass
ing the State, one of the distinguished
men of each party, met by appointment
at small village where the people were
nearly equally divided in politics. The
democrat spoke after the whig, and it
was the general opinion that the demo-
crat had carried the day.
After he had concluded his speech,
the people were about to dispcrsc, when
a tall, raw-boned, ugly looking custom
er got on the stand and said, Gentle
men, after you disperse, want to say
a word or two in reply to that last gen
tleman that talked At first the crowd
commenced kissing and hooting TO put

HIS HABITS.

Beza, in his French Life, adds a
few other particulars Of Calvin's hab.
its. His weak digestion, and want Of
appetite, caused him to seek some
thing more delicate than the ordinary
fare which appeared at table. Some
times in the middle Of the day he
would suck an egg and take glass
Of wine. lie would occasionally join
his C intimate friends in a game of
quoits, or la clef, or some other pas
time not forbidden by the laws
But this occurred very seldom; for lac
was generally occupied the whole day
in writing or studying: except that,
after dinner, he would walk about his
room for quarter of All hour, or per.
haps half an hour, if he had any body
to keep him company.
