 The human mind is . medley of myste- ries man often has thoughts, ideas, and conceptions, at which he himself is startled; they rise up spontaneous within him; he can- not proven, them from coming when they do come; or can he call them forth when he pleases Our very thoughts seem to be gov erned by fixed and immu,able laws: we think and act with perfect ease and liberty and the man of genius must be sensible that he could not well have pursued any other course than the one he followed that the discovery at which he may have arrived and at which the world would probably be as- tonished, was thing that occurred to his mind, naturally, and without great mental exersiot, being an inevitable consequence of a train Of thought into which he had fallen

 lta notorious fact that men of the most wonderful genius have often been of delica,e constitution and extreme seHsibiiity and tl,a, they have endured more ,han a common share of the sufieriRgs and priyations of this life; of all other men they sufier most from ill treatment, or sfiiiction. because their feel ings are more acute than those of any other; but am inclined to think that their enjoy- .nenis are also moro exquisite than those of other mea, aud than upon the whole, if we could properly estimate the degrees of plea- sure and pain enjoyed by different descrip- tons of men, that those of genius would not greatly suffer in the comparison.

 Genius Is as various as men, and is pos sessed in some degree by all; it is the spiri, --the life-i, is the same thing as mind; only we make this distinction, mind is acknow- ledged in all men genius only in men of uncommon parts; when one man scars above his fellows, he js pronounced genius--a man of great talents. A man may be gen. ius, without possessing great mind; we frequently meet with individasis wke com mand our admiration for some single talent, but when we contemplate them as men, when we take into view the entire character we find much ,o blame, mingled with much that is praiseworthy. Mind comprises the gross sum of good aud bad qualities in char acter; genius is made up of the brilliant parts only.
