We find in the Paris correspondent of
the Boston Atlas long sketch of the ha-
bits Of some of the French noveIists.

Alexandra Dumas, to begin with, is
scarcely ever in bed. He rises before
dawn, and the Moon herself would be
puzzled to tell the hour when he retires.-
He writes almost constantly; and, when
tired out, dictates Romances and the Dra-
| ma, or some newspaper article follows
close upon his heels. His mind is foun~
tain from which he draws without cessation.
| And yet this man, who only finds time to
dine, has taken it into his head to manage
theatre.


And there is Eugene Sue, who has gone
into voluntary exile, because he has too
much amusement here! and has attached
a pen to his hands, like an iron pail 70 the
leg Of galley slave. He has sentenced
himself 10 write volumes of Memories
DUN valet de chambre.


As for Charles de Bernard, for the sake
of quiet, he goes to bed at five in the morn
ing, and rises at three in the afternoon
You must have passport endorsed by his
own hand, Or q password, before you can
see him; he labors all night, and reads the
journals while eating. This is the only hour
he devotes to pleasure.


Paul Feval is another indefatigabIe, and
delightful novelist; he is now preparing
for the Journal des Debats, and for L'Epo-
que, two novels whose mysterious titles,
LA Ruittance de mlnuit," 'sLe Fills du
Diable," it is said will excite the greatest
curiosity.


Another remarkable man is Eugene
Scribe, who, while he is drawing tears
from all eyes by his operas, or making every
body laugh with his witty vaudevlles, is
always unmoved, a smile never disturbs
the smoothness of his face, and the most
touching scenes Of his own composition
fail to excite him. Labor has made him
pale; his income is SAID to be hundred
thousand livres year, TO which his pen
adds another hundred thousand; he ex-
pends only thirty thousand. Not content
with the Two dozen operas and vaudevlles
he writes year, he must need compose 4
volumes of other matters.


The Paris correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, speaking of Michelet, the
greatest historian o! France, says that he
has lately published volume under the
title of "The People" Michelet began
life in poverty, and has risen; he holds
the chair of History and Ethics in the Col
lege of France; he is remarkable man,
and the pride of his countrymen. The
history of the French is not yet com-
pleted.
