FAT MEN.-There is something cordial abou,
fat man. Everybody likes him, and he like,
everybody. Your Ishmaelites are, in truth, q
bareboned race; a lank tribe they are, skeleton
and bile. Food does fat man good; it clings
to him; it fructifes on him; he swells nobly out;
and ills a generous space in life He is living,
walking minister of gratitude to the earth,
and the tulness thereof; an incarnate testimo-
ny against the vanities of care; n radiant man.
Hesitation of good humOr. fat man. there
fore. almost in virtue of being a fat man, is
per Sc, popular man; and commonly he de-
serves his popularity. In a crowded vehicle.
the fat man will ever be the most ready 10
make room. Indeed he seems to be half sor-
ry for his size, lest it be in the way of others:
but others would not have him less than he is:
for his humanity is usually commensurate with
their bulk. A fat man has abundance of rich
juices. The hinges of his system are well
oiled; the springs of his being are noiseless:
and so he goes on his way rejoicing, in full con-
position solid in the world; he knows that his
being is cognizable; he knows that he has a
marked place in the universe, and that he
need take no extra pains to advertise mankind
that he is among them; he knows that he il in
no danger Of being overlooked. 1t does really
take deal of wrong to make one really bate
a fat man; and if We are not always as cordial
to thin man as we should be, Christian char.
lty should take into account the force of pre-
judice which we have to overcome against his
thinness. A fat man is nearest To that most
perfect OF hgures, mathematical sphere; thin
man to that most limited of Conceivable A;
mensions, simple line. A fat man is a being
OF harmonious volume, and holds relations to
the material universe in every direction: a thin
man, In fact, Is but the continuation of q
point.
