Ready Mon.

The rarest recorded instance of
readiness WAS undoubtedly that of
FoOte, the comedian. He had Civ
en- offense to a famous duelist of the
day, who vowed vengeance, and
WAS only waiting to meet the luck
less actor. Foote was told of 1t, and
kent out of his way for long time.
AT last they met ut m inn where
the actor generally dined, and
where the duelist happened quite
casually 10 come in. Foote saw his
danger when it was too late; but, as
his enemy said nothing, did his best

good humor. No one could he more
diverting when he was not only very
anxious, but very successful. lie
told one story after another. lie
kept the table in an uproar. The
tire.cate became quite pacific, and
WAS delighted with his new friend.
Foote passed from one good story
to another, and ut last to initiating
people, practice for which he had
extraordinary powers. The other
guests got quite uproarous with the
fun, when suddenly the luckless nc
tor saw from the face of his enemy
that he had inadvertently initiated
one of his friends. The duclist was,
in fact, putting his hand in his peck.
ct to pull ont his card and present
it as the preliminary to u challenge,
when he turned round to the mimic
and said in n dry, Satire voice:
"Really, Mr.. Foote, you are so un'
commonly clever in taking other
people of, | wonder whether you
could take yourself OFF, sob, Ger.
ta.nly~ said Foote, and he walked
s'ralghtway into the street. Here
his readiness probably saved his
ilic.
IL is noticeable how the charac.
trrs of mind and body correspond,
and how the ready man is generally
quick in his movements, prompt IN
action, aud fertile in resource. The
great Napoleon used to say that no
quality was 80 rare or 80 valuable
as what he calhd) two.oclock in
the. morning courage. The power of
suddenly changing front and alter

was precisely what the greatest OF
modern strategists would admire.
He himself eminently possessed il.
The man who had the wit to say tn
the aristocrat who tainted him with
his lack of ancestry, IL am my own
ancestor possessed a readiness OF
words as well rs of action. He was
not likely to lose either his head or
his tongue. But this kind ofpromp,
titude is rarely coupled with stay.
ing power. 1t is distinctly rhetoric,
aud part of the brilliancy is due tn
the gloom which follows it; and,
therefore the nations, which most
possess it are almost purposeless,
aud without reserve force.
