Genius and Misery.

we have heard it gravely argued that ge-
mus and misery are twin sisters. Such an
argument is fallacious. We grant that many
talented men have quafed to the very dregs
the bitter cup Of ~misery-but the fault was
their own. Rum and misery are welded to-
gether, but the union has been severed in a
thousand instances, and the heart made glad.
The victim of sorrow nine times out of ten is
the cause of his own punishment. Had
GOLDSMITH been careful of himself he never
would have been shut within the prison
walls. An extravagant life Of fashion in
duced DR.. Dodd to forge the fatal note. Saw
age spent more money than hundreds who
had families to support. He would not have
died in prison had he not been incorporate
and reckless in his habits. Bacon, had he
been prudent and careful, might have been
independent, and so might Spencer and Pope.
The memory Of Burns and Byron would be
far more pleasant but for the dark spot his
tory has written against them in our own
day how many men of genius are treading
~ bNCPo VI ave VIC AiOhVlOhOu
Thousands are struggling to death, vainly
trusting their talents to afford them their
mush. Let them go to work. If kind Ma
ture did make them poets, that is no valid
reason why they should not soil their hands
in the shop, or wear the apron, or flourish
the trowel. Prose and poetry are cheap as
saw-dust nowadays and that man is for
tunate who can turn his attention to some
thing else for his meal and meat. There is
no other reason why men of genius are mis-
cradle, other than that they spend their earn
ings foolishly, or because they are too lazy
or too proud to work. There is no man who
has health and hands but can obtain a gooC
support by honest labor. Men of genius
had rather starve than carry the bod oil
swing the scythe! How we pity them

merity nowadays to question the excellence of
DR.. Hollands German Bitters, which are prepared
by DR.. C. NJ. Jackson. In cases of dyspepsia, Gv-
er complaint, and arrangement of the digestive
organs, their many virtues have long since been
made plainly apparent. They purge from the sys-
tenn the morbid humors which retard the natural
functions, and bring paleness to the cheek, and suf-

on happiness, and restore the system to the high
