ECCENTRIeITY OF GENIUs.--There is
scarcely case on record where there ex>
listed, greater antasonism between an
author and his pen than in the case Of
Sir William Hamilton. In reading his
pure and limpid language, it is hard to
realize that he was not ready writer.
But, while occupying the chair Of logic
and metaphysics ia the University Of Ed
inburgh, and every day delivering from it
those lectures on metaphysical science
which have made him famous throughout
the world, he could never take his pen at
any time and write certain required
amount. Indeed, he always took up his
pen with extreme reluctance. Owing to
this aversion to composition, he was often
compelled to sit up all night in order to
prepare the lecture which was to be the
wonder and admiration Of every person
who heard it the next day. This lecture
he wrote roughly and rapidly, and it was
copied and corrected by his wife in the
next room. Sometimes it was not finished
by o'clock in the morning, and the
weary wife had fallen asleep. only to be
Sakeful aud ready, however, when he ap-
peared with fresh copy.

IMAGINE Hrs CnAGRIN.-A certain
dramatic writer being caught in a shower
of rain, took refuge under the portico of a
handsome dwelling in New York. As
soon as he had taken the position, win
dow was opened, and lovely female face
appeared, which seemed to beam with
sympathy and anxiety. She soon retired
and sent him an umbrella by a servant.
He at once fell desperately in love, and
thinking from her anxious looks that the
feeling was reciprocated, he called on her
in the morning, sent up his card, and gave
into her own hands very costly umbrella
in the place Of the old shabby one he had
borrowed, and wound up by making a
profession Of love. The young lady,
without even noticing the exchange that
had been made, preceiving how her act
had been misinterpred, naively replied: {:
II feel it to be. my duty to undeceive you,
sir. At the time Of the shower l was
anxiously expecting the arrival of gen.
tleman, who is, l confess, very dear to me,
who wished to see me in private, and my
only motive for sending you the umbrella
was to get you of the steps

Fat Mon.
They have been laboring for some time
past, we preceive, to get up q peculiar
interest upon the subject of "fat men,"
The "Fat Mems Club" has been discussed
and eulogised. The weight Of its presi-
dent and various members have been
elabcrately criticised, and men of rare
ponderos;ty have been held up to public
admiratios, al if each were q man of
msttle, and every extra pound of flesh on
his bones were 20 much more of the
precious article in his possession. Among
the Hottentots woman's beauty is meas
ured by her hstt. She is handsome
creature if she weighs two hundred and
fifty pounds, but, she is loveliness incar-
nate il she kicks the beam at four hum
dred and is incapable of kicking anything
elso, in consequence. Are We insensibly
adopting, as a caprice, modification of
this Hottentotian fancy? Are we resolved
70 regard with lips Of adulation every one
whose worth consists in what he or she
"totes'' about upon his or her bones
