EMERSON,S MENTAL LIFE,

Emerson lives for thought. Here is
one man in the broad America who
| believes that thoughts are realities,
and that an idea is as precious and as
valuable rs the globe; and as he pos
sesses several of them, he is unques-
tionably the millionaire of the times;
and let no man who has millions of
bonds pretend to anything like being
a CrUesus in his company. He has his
ideas, and he has earned them by liv-
ing for them; the experiences and
changes of life, society and books, are
simply to give him thoughts, and liv-
ing thoughts to refresh himself and
all mankind; and so he keeps a COM
monplace book and diary. / suppose
he began very young. If n thought
occurs in his study he puts it in his
commonplace book. He knows where
to stop and never takes up his pen un-
til he has something to write. Sup
pose he takes q walk in the woods,
some new thought of association oc-
ours to him; on his return it is put in
his diary. If he has a conversation
that suggests anything fresh or new,
and fine, that also goes in his COM
monplace book. Suppose he dreams
4 dream and anything fresh and new
comes to him, that, also, goes into the
commonplace book. Any image
that occurs TO him, any picture, or
book, may suggest thoughts, and they
go into this book, and so these books
are filled. However much he may
have thought, he looks over his
commonplace books and sees what he
has been thinking about. Suppose
he has twenty passages on Beauty
that the ruling sentiment or thought
or tone of these passages relates to
beauty, he has then the materials for
an essay on beauty. He did not
choose his theme; it has chosen him.
He then writes out on a slip of paper
sometimes q single sentence, some
times a paragraph, and also looks
over his commonplace books and
traces 4 line over those he has used.
Then a paragraph is selected which
may serve as an introduction. I went
to see him once in the morning, and
upon entering his room found him in
one corner of the room, and large
of papers spread out before
him. He wanted, as l suspect, to see
them all at once, in order to deter !
llAlLG Hull W CO4IlluGllCC WILL Hstl !
is my inference. At length these
are got into something
like order, and then usually the first |
thing to be done is to snatch up these |
leaves and go to a platform; and he
expects that the inspiration will be
given him at the moment, which to
skip and which to read. The public
are now taken into his confidence, so
far as they listen to what he has
but the public are not aware
Of the service they are doing him
when they give him their hospitable
ears; for he is learning which is good
md which is not; he is learning which
% omit and which to keep in his own
,ssay. And so, after having read his
ectures four or five seasons in various
places throughout the country, he
earns what is good, supplies de-
makes omissions, and after
i've or six years prints his essay
fIcOH.

TROTTING HORSES.

Messengers or Hambletonians a
this day are the great fountain heaC
of trOtters. Old HambletOnian was
a dark bay, fifteen hands one inch
beautifully nodded, and without {
single weak point. He was the sire
of the Remington or Harris horse, who
was the sire of more fast trotters thar
any horse in Vermont or New
Hampshire.
No trotter attains his greatest speed
before maturity, and the best of them
continue to improve up to fifteen
and eighteen years of age. To do this,
a horse must have a good constitu-
ton, one that will carry him to a
great age without disease, and will
stand the hard work necessary to de-
velOpe his powers. Breeding from
such horse will therefore improve
the stock of the country not only in
speed, but also in stamina.
The best thoroughbreds in New
England are decendents from Glen
coe, Boston and Lexington; some per-
sons claim that the true way to pro-
ducea trotter is to breed to a thorough
bred. This has been experimental
here for thirty-three years or more,
aud has proved a failure. The racer
and trotterare necessarily made differ
emily, and at q flying gait, while the
trotter goes a quarter at a time, the
racer goes jumping, using in success
sion the forward and after parts of his
body. Can that motion be divided
and improve the trotting horse?
Nearly all the thOroughbreds came
from England to this country, and
England comes to this country for
nearly all of her trotters, taking back
another kind of stock. If the above
is true way to produce fast trotters,
why does not England breed them at
hOme?-BcHOlUs Fail Nelps.
