At a ball, on evening, a plain
country geutlehan had engaged
a pretty coqptte for the next
dance, but a gallant captain
coming along,persuaded the la
|dy to abandn her engagement
in favor of himself. The plain
|yeoman, ovehearing all that had
passed, witlM frigid Indifference,
moved towJd a card-table, and
sat down tqolay a game Of whist.
The captaif a few minutes after
wards. stepped up to the lady to
excuse hilself, as he had en-
gagged tofanothcr, that he had
forgotten, The coquette, much
chagrined approached the whist
table, in hopes to secure her first
partner, aud said ~ believe,

was
fond of magnificent attire, and
usually dressed in all absurd
manner. Diderot once travelled
from St. Petersburg to Paris in
his morning gown and night
CAP, and in this guise promeha-
ded the streets and public places
If the towns on his route. He
was often taken for a mailman.
While composing his works he
used to walk about at rapid pace,
making huge strides and some
times throwing his wig in the
air when he struck out a happy
Idea. One day, a friend found
him in tears. Good heavens"
he exclaimed, what is the mat
ter ?" II am weeping" am
swered Diderot. "at a story that
have just composed L.
Wordsworth was deemed a
mailman by some OF the villa
gers, by others a criminal in the
guise of an idler. They affirmed
that he had beer often seen to
wander about at night and
"look rather strangely at the
moon" and that sometimes "he
would roam overthe hills like a
partridge"
Gray was a polite monk-the
most learned MN Of his day
His elegy is the most meledlous
poem in the language. He was
a man of extrem taciturnity. II
is said he sometimes was known
to pass a whole lay in company
, without utterlnI a word.

swim up the rapids of Niagara

as to stop two lovers from get

IN their heads to do so. In.
