The Antipathies OF Great People.

Being through in a!liistion much con-

have been much amused by what |
thought the whims and affectations of
nv acquaintance. Some start and are
i'll at ease while my mas.itf (wh0 is Is

some tell me they have an aversion 10
MY parrot its sometimes startlingly
aprOpoS answers and words that Gu
riously fit in the conversation terrify
them, and they think il "uncanny';

(who is Il great pet) is removed. This
all seemed so mysterious to me that |
searched an old work on the Affections
and Imaginations Of the Mind for 4
solution, and was rewarded by the fol-
lowing extract, which I send, thinking
ii may be intercstin" to ynur readers.
NJ. ChcvrauN, celebrated French
writer, observes:
"How exceedingly whimsical some
antipathies appear. | have known
people faint on smelling the delicious
fragrance of rose, and vet experience
a pleasure in smelling a jonluN or hy-
acinth. \ certain Governor of one of
the frontier towns could not bear the
sight of iiSh-spawn, and 4 lady whom l
knew went into commissions on Seeing 4
crawlish. Erasmus, who was Il native
of Rotterdam, had so great an aversion
to fish that he could not even smell it
without being in fever. Ii We may
credit Ambrose Pare, a man of some
celebrity, he saySthat he could never sit
at table where eels Were served up with
out fainting. Joseph Scaliger never
drank milk Garden could not bear
eggs. Julius Cesar Sraliger had IN
antipathy to cresses: uladi>taS .Jagellon,
a Polish King, hated apples; and when
Du CheSne, secretary 10 Francis the
First, smelt them. they occassioned his
nose to bleed. Henry the Third could
not remain in a room where there was 4
cat; the same aversion was OBJ
served in Marshal Shomberg,
Governor Of Langue.loc. The
Emperor Ferdinand introduced ~en-
tleman To the Cardinal de Lorraine
at InnSpruck. whose fear of eats was 50
powerful that when he heard them new
at distance blood spurted from his
nose. NJ. de Laucre says that he knew
IA gentleman whose fear Of the hedge
hog was excessive, and who believed
that that animal had actually been prey
ing on his entrailS for more than two
years
He also relates another story equally
singular of gentleman whose bravery
none disputed, but who was so nervous
when a mouse appeared that he could
not take out his sword TO destroy ii. NJ.
