Many persons imagine that no mu-
sic can be composed without the aid of
an instrument Beethoven was deaf,
yet he was the author of some of the
most divine harmonies that ever was
scored A musical doctor Of the pres.
ent day, countryman of our own, has
been long bed-ridden. He has little
table so constructed as to enable him to
60 on with his notation in bed. The
doctor works with two pens, one in his
right hand, and the other in his left /;
with one he notes his bass, with the
other his tenor, &c. 1t is very laugha-
bic to see him, when the bass pen is
dry, dip unconsciously the tenor pen,
already full, into the ink, or cice versa.
Another musical genious of the present
time, when composing. has been known
to leave his table and deliberately dip
his pen in the wash-hand basin. Both
of these gentlemen compose "most elo-
quent music without the help of any

PLAToNc LovE.-Next to the Ia
dies Of that lofty rigity which Nine. dc
Montauser displayed, perhaps with
unusual ostentation. came those more
tender blue stockings whose heats gave
admission to love, but on conditions
which impaired to it either the vague
ness Of objectless desire, or the rough.
ness of deslreless feelings. These false
pretenders to delicacy,' says St. Eyre
mond, "hasc robbed love Of its natural
features thinking to give It something
more precious in exchange, they have
transferred the seat of passion from the
heart into the mind, and changed i'm
pulses into ideas. This great purifca-
ton has its origin in an honest abhor-
renee of scnsaality but they are not
less removed from the true nature
of love than tie most voluptuous
for love has as little to do with specula-
tons Of the understanding as with bru-
tally of the appetite ''-Gmzot's
