Tho IdIosynocraslos Of CoIeridse.

The moment he was called upon TO thwart
his inclinations he declined the task, and
appeared one Of the most helpless and reck-
less of mortals. There could be no stronger
illustration of it than the circumstance which
Immediately followed his trip to Salt Hill.
He was engaged 10 lecture upon Shakespeare
at Brisol. His admirers had made great
efforts to obtain him subscribers, the day was
settled and he was hourly expected, when q
gentleman announced that he had travelled o
| part of the way with him from London, and
that he had gone on to North Wales The
sole cause of this strange proceeding was his
discovery that lady in the coach was the
| sister Of friend, and he at once resolved to
accompany her to her home. His engage
ments to the public, his responsibility to his
supporters, his pecunikfy interests were all
flung aside instantly, and without one word
OF notice TO his expecting audience, he gave
himself up to the passing whim. His prin-
cipal patrons, having accidentally learned
the truth, hurried round to the ticket-holders
aud informed them that the lectures were
postponed until further notice. When the
truant at last appeared fresh day was fixed.
The hour and the subscribers arrived, but
Coleridge was not there. A hue and cry
was raised for him, and he was discovered
sitting unabashed over bottle of wine. He
was led off to his impatient audience, and
his apology to 10 them was that he had met
with an unavoidable Interruption The un-
avoidable interruption, in the first instance,
bad been the desire TO prolong stage-coach
Irritation, and, in a second, TO prolong the
pleasures of the table. With the excuse of a
sick friend, he would only have been too
happy to repeat the experiment Of making
second journey to Wales.
Incidents like these prove that Mr.. Leslie
is mistaken in his notion that "Coleridge's
want of success in all worldly matters may
be attributed to the mastery possessed over
him by his own wonderful mind" 1t was
not the wonderful part of his mind which
mastered him, but the inferior part of his
self-indulgent nature. II was his genius,
but his subjeotion to his appetites and amuse-
ments, which led him to sport with the most
solemn obligations, enthralled by bottle of
wine, or by female passenger in coach.
There is truth, however, in the observation
which Mr.. Leslie subjoins, "that common
men as often succeed by the qualities they
want, as great men fail by those they have.n
He reports remark which he heard made
by Sir Walter Scott, which points to one of
the causes why the ablest persons are not
always best adapted TO get on in life. ~
never he said, "knew a man of genius and
| know many, who could be regular in all
his habits, but have known many block
head who could"

SusgestioDs Concerning Lighthouses and


| 1t is thought that the principle of gyration
might be advantageously employed to neu.
tralize the action which the wind and the
waves exert upon foating-light ships. The
dioptric system is found TO be inapplicable to
floating beacons, owing to their great oscilla-
tion, and they are therefore still furnished
with twelve inch rehectors, whose power is
comparatively small. The more fully the
Fresnet system is.understood, the more, it is
believed, will it be preferred TO the catoptric
system. 1t is, however, essential in tho adop-
tion of this system, that the light apparatus
be kept upright and free from oscilation-a
desideratum which it is now proposed to at
tain by entirely changing the forms of the
vessel, making that portion of it which Is
imersed hemispherical, and that which is
above water the frustrum of an inverted
cone. a ulf
In the center of the float it is proposed to
have tower-whose lower end shall project
through the bottom of the float to serve as a
Keel, carrying lantern as in shore light
houses, and containing the necessary accom-
mediation for the light keepers and within
this lantern, dioptric apparatus of the
seco-d power is placed, whose light being
torty-hve feet above the water line, may be
seen at distance of nine miles. Imme-
diately below the light apparatus, it is pro-
posed to place f1y-wheel suitably mounted
on gimbals, and driven through the medium
OF certain wheels and shafts by small en-
gine, which, with its boilers would be placed
on the third deck of the float.

The Eject of CopscIOus Roctitude

Now, the consciousness of strength and oil
rectitude, says Henry Ward Beecher, always
tends to work toward q fearless openness
Weakness, and the fear attendant upon it,
almost always work toward repression, and
hiding, and guarding. | will admit that there
is TO be forethought, and a suitable degree of
calculation, as respects great ends and i'm
portant interests. No man should go ex-
temporizing through life. Study before
action is right. Deliberation at the beginning
gives freedom at the end, in every important
movement. No man can afford to be so open
and frank and undeliberative as the man that
has deliberated.
But many persons mistake the province OF
forethought and calculation, and attempt to
carry themselves in the details and minute
particulars of life by them. They rigidly
inspect every act and experience, as though
every act and experience must be taken up,
and looked at, conscentiously, and narrowly,
and watchfully. They 60 about with looks
precomposed. They are sure to measure
their steps. They will not laugh without a
properly considered reason II some wag
surprises them into laugh, they run back
and look to see # they ought to have laughed.
Everything in them seems to be drawn out
as tape measures are, and seems, like them to
have a spring, which causes it to fly back in
stantly, and to be measured off into inches
and fractions of inches. There is nothing
about them which reminds one of natural
clusters, or tendrils or moss, or wild flowers.
Everything about them is after the pattern OF
yard-sticks and surveyors chains. They are
a sort of conscientious arithmetic. Their
mouth acts, not as flowers do, obedient to the
sap beneath but as do the locks of safes full
ofgold, into which formal iron key must
needs be thrust whenever you open them.
Can there be any thing in this world SO in
tolerable as the doing every thing on purpose2
BE is a nuisance that is for ever self-poised,
self-conscious, self-measuringl that is for ever
with reference upon seIS elf @ Such e eompete aTgtfe
addiction in thought and deed to ones self
and to what concerns him alone, is the
quintessential idea of selishness, instead of
manliness

lNsuFFIcIENcY OF THE SUE's HEAT.-It is 9
startling fact that if the earth were dependent
alone upon the sun for heat, it would moi
furnish existence to the animal and vegetable
life upon its surface. II results from the
researches of Popillet that the stars furnish
heat enough in the course of the year to melt
crust OF ice seventy feet thick-almost as
much as is supplied by the sun. This may
appear strange when we consider how i'm.
measurably small must be the amount ofheat
received from any Of those distant bodies
But the surprise vanishes when we remem.
Ger that the whole armament is thickly gem

Where whenever my eyes l am rising,
They will alwaya unconsclously stray,
And never grow weary Of gazing.
Such gentleness, Bweotness and grace,
Was never yet edueled, I'm certain,
As shines In the beautiful face. fft
Revealed by that wind-lifted curtain
Oh, a Hea-nymph might safely be proud
OF the treeses thatf reht ad adOrning--
With hue like golden.tinged cloud

Oh, that voice by seraph was given,
And that laugh has q musical tlnkle,
And those eyes have the color Of heaven
When the stars are beginning 70 twinkle
And then such a gem Of a nose,
All likeness and rivalry scorutng,
And the lips like the heart Of rose
Blown apart by the FIRST breath cf morning
Oh, that cottage Just over the street.
How can do other than love IL
For Its inmate so lovely and sweet
'Twere no sin for an angel TO coNetl
Such bsauty II dazzles the eye-
oh, its owner Is fairer than Venus
But alas, confess wit sigh,
