II.iV.is. couipos.-il hi L"viaihan. Il is ve

in the bead ul' his cane a pen and inkhorn,
and carrii'd alw.ivs a note bimk in his pock-
ind as so in as a thought darted, he pre-
senily entered it into bis book, or olher

the ih-M-.ru of the h i'ik into chapters, jtc,
and be knew wheraliouls it would come in.
Thus that book was made.
I -i it:i r.icn ti:s. Anion'; lilernrv men,
some have been eccentric in lln-ir method
of coiiipoMiv' anil s'udvin.
l)e.s Cartes used lo lie in bed, very fre
quently, for twelve or fourteen hours in
the day, with the curtains drawn.
Thompson sometimes kpenl the whole
day in bed.
lliiiisM-uu and Tope procured some of
their best thoughts in bed.
M zer.ii, the historian, always composed
by candle light.
Much of this is folly. Nature has con
stituted human beings so similarly, that
what is consistent with common sense, and
suitable lor one man, would be found adapt
ed for ail, if they would but accustom
themselves to it. Eccentricities are nol
only productive of no advantages, hut thev
are ii equently Ihe occasion of awkward
ness and unpleasantness.
Pascal, Milton, Sin:rnr:r.r, Tiicaxus,
ami Ni.wton. Pascal subjected his iellers
lo the inspection of Ihe members of his
college, and every advantageous alteration
that was suggested was introduced. This
method occasions much correctness, hut il
destroys Ihe originality of the author's
thoughts and style.
Sometimes Milton woulJ dictate a cer-
alin number of lines, and Ihen reduce them
to one halt ih- quantity.
Sheffield, link.? ol Buckingham, wrote
an essay tin satire, which was altered and
amended so nun Ii, that at last, like Ihe
stocking of Aristotle, it became a new
thing.
The commencement of the History of
Thuanus is said to have cost the author an
immense deal ol labor. ,
Sir Isaac Newton informex) Bishop

hig celebrated controversy, he applied him

Hai.xac. IJalac, the first writer in
French prose who ;rave majesty and har
mony to a period, it is safe, did not gnul-re
to bestow a week on a pae, and was nev
er rati.-fied with his first thoughts.
MalkhraNi hi:, I lor.nr.sj Thomas, and
Diti-o.v. Some profound thinkers con I J
not pursue the operalions of their mind in
the distraction of lij;bt ami noise. Male
branche, llobbes, Thomas, and others closed
their curtains to concentrate their thouohts,
as Milton says of the mind, '-in the spa
cious circuits of her musing." A secluded
and naked apartment, with nothing but a
desk, a chair, and a yinjle .sheet of paper,
was for filly yeais Ihe study of ljufi'.m ; the
single ornament was a iirint of Newton
placed before bis eyes: nolhincr broke into
the unity of bis reveries.

One of the yreutest electioueereis of the

for nutlilor iu Mississippi. His modo of
eleclioneerinir is lo deal with the "sover
eigns" with lhu most blunt fiankness, dis
carding every particle of blarneying hum
bng. The following skelch of a lule speech
tleliteied by him must have puzzled his op
ponent to reply to :
Ladies mid Gentlemen : I rise but there's
no use of telling you that ; you know- I am
upas well rts I do lam a modest man
very but 1 have never lost a picayune by it
in my life. Being a scarce commodity
among candidates, I thought I would men
tion it, for fear if t didn't you never would
hear it.
Candidates are generally considered ns
nuisances, but they are not ; they nro the
politest men in llm world, shake you by the
band, nsk yon how's your family, what's
the prospect for ciops, ftc, ami I am Ihe
politest man there is in Ihe Slate. Davy
Crockett s;u the politest man lie ever saw
w hen he asked a man to drink turned his
back so that be might drink us much us he
pleased. 1 beat lhat all hollow ; I give a
man a chance to think twice if lit! wishes,
for 1 not only turn around, hut shut nr.) eyes.
I ii in not only lb" politenl man, bul the best
elcclioneerei. Yon ought to see nits shaking
hands with ihe vaiialions the pump-handle
and pendulum, Ihe cross-cut and wiggle
waggle. I understand the science perfect
ly, and if any of the county candidates wish
instructions they must call on me.
Fullovv-cit izens, I was born ll I hadn't
been 1 wmild'ut have been a candidate : but
1 am going to tell you where ; 'twas not in
Mississippi, but 'twas on the riidil side of
the tu gro line ; yet that's no compliment, as
the negroes are mostly bom on the ainc side
I starletl iu Ihe world as poor as a church
mouse, yet I came honestly by my poverty,
for I ii.heiited it ; nml if I did statt poor, no
man can say but that I have held my own
remaikiibly well.
Candidates generally tell you, if you think
they me quablieil, &C Now, 1 don't ask
your thoughts ; I ask your voles. Why,
there's nothing lo Ihiuk--!, except to watch
ami see lhat Sit airs, name is not on your

I a n b'-u.t l lo say lhat 1 believe it's a
giieiMi-s in t i hide any thing from my
fellovv-ci'izens ; therefore, 1 say that it's
my piivaio opinion, publicly expressed,
that I'll make thf best Auditor ever in ihe
United Stales.
'Tis rot for honor I wish to be Auditor, for
iu my o a n cuiiiily I was olfeied all ollice
that was all honor Colonel . hich I re
spectfully declined. The Audilm' uflice is

competitor. 1 r.m sine of being elected,
and he will lose something; by the canvass;
thenlure I am w illing to divide equally with
bun, uud make these two luTei ; i ll take the
suiuty, and he may have the honor; or lie
may have the honor, and I'll lake the salary.
In the way of honors I have received
enough lo satisfy me for life. I went out to
Mexico, eat poik and beans, idept in tin; rain
and mud, and swallowed every thing except
live Mexicans, ll" ordered lo "go." 1 went;"
"chaise," I chaiged ; "break for the chap
