Balzac'S Stilnulant.

A writer in the Home Journal says
&C Balzac who had the disease of creative
genius in its most outrageous form,
preached tous, says Theophile Gautier,
the strangest hygiene ever propounded
among laymen. If we desired to hand
down our names to posterity as authors
it was indispensable that we should i'm
mure ourselves absolutely for two or
three years that we should drink nothing
but water and eat soaked beans, like
Protogenes !; that we should go to bed at
sunset and rise at midnight to work hard
till morning that we should spend the
whole day in revising, amending, extend
ing, pruning, perfecting, and polishing
our nights work, in correcting proofs or
taking notes, or in other necessary study. ,
If the author happened to be in love he
was only to see the lady of his heart for
one half hour year, but he might write
to her for the cold-blooded reason that
letter writing improves the style. Leon
Gozlan's account of the daily life of the
'Comedie Humane has often been
quoted. He began his day with dinner
at six in the afternoon, at which, while
he fed his friends generously, he himself
but water. At seven o'clock he wished
his friends good night and went to bed.
At midnight he rose and worked till din
ner-time the next day and SO the world
went round. George Sands calls him,
Drunk On water, Incorporate in work,
and sober in all other passions. When
he sat down to his desk his servant used
to place coffee lwithin reach, and upon
this he worked till his full brain would
drive his starved and almost sleepless
body into such elf-forgetfulness that he
often found himself at daybreak, bare
headed andin dressing gown an dslippers,
in the Place du Carrousel, not knowing
how he came there, and miles away from
home. Now, coffee acts upon some tenn
peraments like laudanum upon others,
and many Of the manners and costumes
of Balzac were those of a confirmed
opium eater.

THE FRENCHMAN AND THE FILE >
POWDER,

A Frenchman once-so runs certain ditty-
Had crossed the Straits to famous London city,
To get living by the arts of France
And teach his neighbor, rough John Bull to dance
But lacking pupils, vain all his skill;
His fortunes sank from low to lower still:
Until, at last-pathetic to relate
Poor Monsieur landed at starvation's gate
Standing one day, beside cook-shop door,
And gazing in, with aggravation sore
He unused within himself what he should do
To fill his empty NAV, and pocket too.
BY nature shrewd, he soon contriYed plan,
And thus to execute it straight began:
piece of common brick he quickly found,
And with harder stone topowder ground
Then wrapped the dust in many dainty piece
Of paper, labeled s. Poison for de Fleas,"
And sailed forth, his roguish trick 70 try,
70 show his treasures, and to see who'd buy.
From street to street he cried with lusty yell,
'Here's grand and sovereign flea poltddre to SELL"
And tickle Fortune seemed to smile at last,
For soon a woman hailed him as he passed,
Struck quick bargain with him for the lot,
And made him five crowns richer on the spot.
Our wight encouraged by this ready sale,
Went into business on larger scale:
And soon, throughout all London. scattered he
The " only genuine pOudare for de flea"
Engaged one morning, in his new vocation
OF mingled boastng and Discrimination,
He thought he heard himself in anger called;
And sure enough, the se'f-same woman bawled-
In not mild or very tender mood
From the same window where before she stood,
'Hey, there" said she, ''you Monsheer Powder
man!
Escape my clutches now, sir, if you can:
I'll let you dirty, thieving Frenchmen know
That decent people won't be cheated So"
Then spoke Monsieur, and heaved sanity sigh,
With humble attitude and fearful eye
'Ah, Madame sill vous plat, attended, vous-
will dis leetle ting captain to you:
My poudare gran magnlfque! why abuse him?
Aha 1 show you hOlO to use him,
First, you must wait until You catch de flea;
Den, tickle he on de petite rib you see;
And when he laugh-aha! he ope his throat;
Den poke de poWdGre dorm !-BEGAR! HE CHOKE!
