The Boy who stopped the Fight.

A boy may prove to be of considerable
importance in circumstances where he
is supposed to be of very little value.
An interesting illustration of this occur
red in an action between the British and
Dutch fleets off the English coast, de-
scribed by Mr.. MacGregor. A runaway
boy, Thomas Hopson, an apprentice to
a tailor in the Isle of Wight, had Just
come on board the Admiral's ship as a
volunteer. In the midst of the action
he asked . sailor how long the fight
would continue, and was told that it
would only cease when the flag of the
Dutch Admiral was hauled down. The
boy did not understand about the strik-
ing of colors, but he thought, if the
hauling down of the flag would stop the
fight, it might not be difficult to do. As
the ships were engaged yard-arm and
yard-arm, and yelled in smoke, Hopson
at once ran up the shrouds, crept out on
the mizzen-yard of his own ship, and
having gained that of the Dutch Ad-
miral, he speedily reached the top-gal-
liant masthead and possessed himself Of
the Dutch flag, with which he succeeded
in returning to his own deck. Perceiv-
ing the flag to be struck, the British
sailors raised shout Of victory and
the Dutch crew, also deceived, ran from
| their guns. While the astonished Ad-
miral and his officers were trying in vain
| to rally their crew, the English boarded
the ship and carried her. For this daring
service the boy was at once promoted to
the quarterback; and he rose to dis.
tinguished Admiral under Queen Anne,

Fat and Lean Men.

Ought a man of genius to be fat or
lean? The latter, if the proverbs are to
be credited, which assert that the blade
uses the scabbard, and that the mind
breaks the body. A philosopher remarks
that men of genius had yellowish and
parchment look formerly, because they,
being underpaid, were consequently un-
derfed. That type has disappeared as
effectually as the race Of King Charles
dogs or the dodo. No litterateur Of the
nineteenth century wears shoes without
soles-none resemble Scudery, who ha-
vored his crust with O morsel Of bacon
prigged from a mouse-trap.
Balzac was 30 stout that it was days
exercise to walk around him the riot
could not disperse him, and he was en-
circled with bandages as If hogshead.
Rossini was q veritable Jumbo, since for
six years he never saw his knees ordina-
rily, he was called by the small boys q
hippopotamus in pantaloons. Jules
Janin, the prince Of critics, broke every
sofa he sat upon his chin and his cheeks
protruded beyond his beard and his
whiskers. Lablache was charged three
fares whenever he travelled, and it was IN
a horse-box, elegantly fitted up with all
the comforts of home, plus an opening
outside, that he voyaged before his death ;
when he appeared on the stage the wags
swore the latter had to be specially
propped up, just as in the case when
elephants don the sock and buskin.
Dumas pere never was stouter than q
drum-major Saint Beuve regarded his
grinning Falstafian stomach as his great
est mysery in life; Eugene Sue, like
Byron, dreaded getting fat, and indulged
also in vinegar and lemons, as the pre-
Bantam cure. Modern men Of genius
are great trencher men; Hugo mixes
fish, flesh, vegetable, sweets, etc., upor
his plate, and devotes an hour to exca
waiting his tunnel through the "olli
podidra; :" Dumas pere ate three RUM
steaks, but then he said that was from
foresight, as he could never count upol
the next day for meal; Rossini de
voured as much maccaroni as would Civ
Indigestion to ten lazzarones he pre-
ferred the rattle of "batterie dc cui
sine" to the finest orchestra.
The lean men Of genius do not count
such as Lamartine, De Musset, etc.
their bones pierced their skin, and di
not at all fatter the French GOODIES
Glory. Besides, such celebrities belong t
the schools of the "Sorrows of Werther
and the "Nouvelle Heloise." The
thought too much and never laughed.

Emerson's Literary Methods.

It has been Emerson's habit TO spend
the forenoon in his study, with constant
regularity. he has not waited for moods,
but caught them as they came, and used
their results in each day. work. 1t has
been his won't to jot down his thoughts
at all hours and places. The suggestions
that result from his readings, converse
tions and meditations are Immediately
transferred to the note book he always
carries with him. In his walks many
iem of thought is IL this way preserved.
All the result of his thinking are thus
stored up, to be made use of when re-
ouired. After his note books are filled,
he transcribes their contents to o large,
commonplace book. When fresh sub
ject possesses his mind, he brings to-
gether the jottings he finds he has
written down concerning it, fusing them
into q connected whole with the addi-
tional material suggested at the time.
His ESSAYS are then very slowly elabor-
ated, wrought ont through days and
months, and even years OF patient
thought. A curious evidence OF this
method of constructing his essays may
be found by the attentive reader in the
repetition of the Same phrases In differ
emit essays, showing that Q lapse Of MEM
ory sometimes permits him to draw ont
the same sentences and ideas more than
once. One of the most striking M
stances OF this may be found in the
essays on " Farming" and :" Perpetual
Forces" where the analogies from the
conversibility Of forces run almost par
allel with each other, showing the use of
the same materials from his note books
in their composition. His essays are all
carefully revised, again and again cor
rected, wrought over, portions dropped,
new matter added, or the paragraphs ar
ranged in q new order. He is unsparing
in his corrections, striking out sentence
after sentence, and paragraphs disappear
| from time to time. His manuscript il
everywhere filed with erasures and
emendations; scarcely page appears
that il not covered with these evidences
| of his diligsnt revision.
Almost everything Emerson has writ
ten was prepared for the lecture plat
form. He has not been pri.
marily a book-maker, a. Carlyle has
been, but an unsettled preacher, or Q
university lecturer on morals, not occu
pying professors chair. The book
have been an afterthought, printed aftel
the exigencies of the platform demanded
new topics. This method of compost
ton has led to wonderful power o
condensation, and to o marvellous com
pactness of expression. His concentrated
sentences are doubtless wrought out, on
by one, in his lonely walks or in tn
quiet of his study, and worked over il
his mind until the words perfectly q
the idea expressed. In no other write
are there 10 many sentences which com
plete the subject, and win stand. un
supported and alone, as vindications c
the authors thought. Geo. W Cook

The London Netos says it is the first duty Of
the Government to protect the lives of English
men residents in Egypt without delay. It hopes
the iron-clads at Alexandria are equal to the
task, though the English Admiral admits his
inability to land the men. When this primary
obligation is discharged, then the real difhcul-
entities Of The situation win only begin. The
duplicity Of the Porte is now tolerably certain.
