Coleridge was such a slave 10 liquor

and on that very day, without even TAX

at Ellerary, land was soon hidden, not in
The groves Of the valley, but in some OBJ
scene, den. where drinking among low
com mpaniOns, his magnificent mind was
soon brought TO level with the vllesi OF
the vile." When his spree was over. he
would return TO the society Of decent
men.
De Quincy was such slave to the
use Of opium, that his daily allowance
was of more importance than eahng.
IAN ounce Of laudsnum day prostra'ed
animal life during the forenoon. II was
no unfrequent sight 10 see him asleep on
The rug before The fire in his own room,
his head on book, his arms crossed on
his breast. When this lorpor from tie
opium had passed away, he was ready
for company about daylight. In order to
show him off, his friends had 10 arrange
their supper parties so that, sitting until
three or four in lhe morning, he might be
brought 10 thai point at which, in charm
and power of conversation, he was so tru-
ly wonderful.
Burns was no, less a drunkard than
Coleridge. 1t was the weakness Of Chas.
Lamb. And who can remember the last

Steele, the brilliant author OF ihf
Christian Hero, was beaslly drunkard
Men wrote of him that very often he
would dress himself, kiss his wife and
children, tell them lie about his press

revel with his bottle companions. RoI

Sensible Talking.

We shall not prosper in The South un
til all go 10 work, nor unn Iaoor win the
hands is properly estimated. How does
the mere fact OF being lawyer or lar
mer or a banker make man more oI
"genrleman" than if he were carpenter!
Is he more honest! Is he mere refined
on this account! Does sticking a quill
behind the ear refine man? Does dir
lying The hands dirty the mind! Give Us
a blacksmith with NE same education and
the same moral worth, and ne is IN the
full sense Of the term as much OF gen
lleman' as professor in a college or
clergyman. Ills not the trade that pulls
Inc man down. The reason why the
professor or a clergyman is thought to be
entitled 10 higher social position is be-
cause generally he has more education.
And cannot a follower OF one of he me-
chanic arts be an educated man! What
was Benjamin franklin! What was
Hugh Miller? What is the President OF
the United States? And now we come
10 the point; let US eXPel all these sense
less ideas about being professional gen.
lIemeo, and let US try TO make useful GILL
zens; let US teach our children that there
is no nobler character than aa Adam
Bede; nothing better than an honest true
hearted, faithful hand worker-who loves
his calling, and is not ashamed OF 1t, and
who would rather lose money on Job
than 10 turn out unworkBanhke articles,
even where be knew that no one would
ever find out his unlalhluIness. We
say to The F. F. VS. Of the State, put
your boys to work, send ihem TO make
brick and beat hOrse.shoes-and they
will moi ose their genu!Ity. They will
get The applause of oil RI h,minded men;
and they will be more apt, in many cases
to make money than if they were giving
calol8el along muddy tUrnplkes,or hound
ing some poor creature from court to court
with f fs.' 5 and delivery bonds. There
is more money, as general thing in q
good trade in The South, than IN leaned
profession. Did you every know hall
dozen rich doctors {! did you ever know
dozen rich lawyers? ? did you ever know
rich schoolleacher ! In Ibis very town
there is money 10 be made by any Parse-
gering, business young man who will
master brick laying; or the carpenter S
business; or the timers business; or The
science of Grainage; or gardening. So
that trade is not incompatible with
wealth. Is it Incompatible With knowI,
edge We have alluded 10 Hugh Miller
and Glhaas.
And then il IS easier. we think, to be

or in an EDITORS room.-CharloHeSvWe
