Little Great Men.

1t is little queer how many great men
have been little men-or, as Gray has salu'
with different meaning,
How low, how little are the great"
It would be curious question how far
men of diminutive statue have been promp-
ted to try to distinguish themselves as
statesmen, generals, poets, orators, and so
forth, bv an uneasy sense of personal lnslg'
nifcence. No doubt many pigmy who
has been tormented by morhfying con-
seriousness of their physical inferiorlty, has
been provoked and stimulated thereby to
show the world that his lack of flesh and
bIood.has been more than made up to him
in brains. Hence we see many Lillipu-
tian in body who is perfect Brobdldnagan
in intellect.
Who believes that the great Russian gen.
eral, Suwarrow, would ever have immortal
lied himself as warrior, if he had not
stood but five one in his boots2 Or who
rances that, if they had been six-footers in
blaze by 4" Macedonian's madman or the
Swedc?" When Lord Nelson was passing
over the quarry at Yarmouth, to take pos
session of the ship to which he had been
appointed, the people exclaimed, " Why
make that little fellow captain " This
.sneer Of disparagement was but "iore'
gone conclusion" in his own mind, and he
thought Of it when he fought the battle Of
Nile and Trafalgar. Had Bonaparte beer
six inches higher, says HazIit, he would
never have gone on that disastrous Russian
expedition, nor " with that addition" would
he ever have been Emperor or King. II
was the nickname of Little Corporal,
we doubt not, which first prlcked the sides
of his ambition, and stung him into that
terrible activity which made all Europe
lremble. Nearly all the famous poets have
been little men. Who can tell whether we
should ever have been delighted by Moore''
exquisite verse, mad not George the FourIf
once threatened to clap him into his wine
cooler q Yankee Blade.
