AsEcDoTE.-The following anccdote has been
communicated to us by German friend, as one
that he has never noticed in English:
Goethe said once. that man of real genius
could not be smoker: Therefore he was con-
vinced that Lesslng never smoked. Mr.. K, Lii
brarian Of Woltembuttel, being desirous to ascer-
tain the truth OF this remark, went to an old
woman, of whom he knew that she had been
Lessing's housekeeper for number of years.
and asked her whether Leasing had smoked.
"Smoked," exclaimed the old dame, "yes sir,
he did smoke and write all day; but, besides
that, he was not fit for anything else."
