Force of Habit,

fhc omnlpoteDcc OF iabit receives Illus
tration from what happened to constant
reader of the London Times. So addicted
to it was he, aud so dependent upon it for
all the news, as to refuse intelligence from
any other source And TO this fountain be
persisted in applying personally. Nobody
was suffered to read its broad and stately
columns in his stead on his account. No
information was acceptable even in that
elect source of light and knowledge, which
Gid not shine through his own eyes.
This gentleman fell sick, and wa. con-
fned to his bed. The stream Of intelli-
gence therefore from that Journal, and he
had no other, was quite shut ont. He
could not read hira.elf, and would not per-
init any one else to do it for him. As his
illness happened to be Of bad kind, and
as obstinate as himself, be may easily be
conceived to be in tight place. For two
whole years he was without any hint from
the external world. His only mental sub
.'encc was such as he had collected and
.'.l up, squirrel like, in former days. He
.4k,.s:ed, as bears do, On bis old fat; but
u was e ;tits pretty well used up one may
.e..eve, wien, though he was carefully
attended by doctors, We forget Of what
'opathy, for he was rich, he was given over
as cured-at the end Of the time men,
toned. No sooner was permission granted
for the indulgence Of his appetite for the
Times, than he fell with incredible ardor
to the perusal of that paper, beginning
where he had left off two years before.
We shall no. stop to relate what altera
tions Of joy and sorrow, of satisfaction and
chasriu played ty turns over his still pallid
eountenance, as be rushed with eager curl
seity, not through fable, but the real and
stirring history of his country and the
world at large, during space filled with
the most agi;ating events that ever per
haps occurred in Europe, namely, the two
years preceding the downfall Of Napoleon
But when be came to the battle of Water
loo, bis interest grew perfectly intense, and
1t the victory Of England and the allies
which terminated for ever that battle and
the struggle iu which bis country had been
engaged so long, be was thrown into a
paroxysm of exultation. He rose up, and
yocikrated q hun3rcd hu-zas with all bis
might. Nothing could appeaso him, and
ssudden loss cf voice was only able tc
stop his clamor, and sllay somewhat the
violence of his excitement. Itwas, it may
veIf be supposed, trial Of no small mag.
situde to satisfy the lopgings Of his pent-
up curiosity for SO long period, and to
eome to the Knowledge of the state of his
eountry's affairs in the space Of a few days,
which no person had dared to whisper to
him before.
What strength Of habit was displayed
BY this ecscntria person! But upon nice
inspection Of himself every person will
ascertain, perhaps to his surprise, that some
habit, it may be more than one, rules pret.
b despo;ically in his own bosom.-Nep.
