NEVER Do MUCH AT A TIME--Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, in a lecture recently deliY-
cred in England, gave the following history
of his literary habits:
Many persons, seeing me so much engaged
in active life, and much about the world as
if | had never been a student, have said to
me: When do you get time to write all
your books? How on earth do you contrive
to do so mich work 2? Ishall surprise you
by the answer make. The answer is tais:
coptrive to do so much by never doing too
much at a time. A man, to get through
work, must not over-work himself; or, if
he do too much to-day, the reaction of fa-
tigue will come, and he will be obliged to
do too little to morrow. Now, since be-
gan really and earnestly to study-which
was not till had LEFT college, and was act
ually in the world, may, perhaps, say that
have gone through with as large a course
of general reading as most men of my time.
have travelled much, and have seen much;
have mixed much in politics and the va
r;ous business of life; and, IN addition to
all this, have published somewhere about
sixty volumes, some upon subjects requiring g
mach research. And what time do you
think, as a general rule, l have devoted to
study-to reading and writing? Not more
than three hours a day and, when Parlia-
mcnt is sitting, not always that. Bnt then,
during those hours. have given my whole
attention to what was about.

The Plan Of the Enemy.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives
the following as the plan Of opera
tions of the Abolition President
against Fort Sumter:
rs 1T SUMTER?
There are, as nearly as can be as
certained. three thousand effective
Southern troops in the immediate vi
cinity Of Charleston. They are scat
tered about on the 1slands, and the
communication between the city of
Charleston and the Islands is under
the guns Of Fort Sumter. There are
not more than fifteen hundred troops
on Morrissls Island, and the batteries
there are nearly all erected with the
view of sweeping the channel, and
not to prevent an attack in the rear.
The resources of the General Gov
ernment are considerable. There are
about two thousand troops now at
New York, and other available Nor
thern points. There were four hun
dred on the Brooklyn. There are at
least Thousand just withdrawn from
Texas. Now, if the Administration
has been carefully maturing aplan OF
operations, and has determined to
make an attempt to relieve Fort sum
ter, and if all the talk about evacua-
ton has been merely to gain time for
the movement of troops, United
States feet. bearing four thousand
soldiers, sailors and marines, may
rendezvous off Charleston harbor his
very night, and landing may be
attempted under cover of the tlrc OF
the shell guns Of the steamers.
Two Thousand United States troops
once landed could sweep the Conted.

taking the Wanted batteries in the
rear, could come into possession OF
them at once. The Confederate troops
