RELAXATIONS OF GREAT MEN.

Men of the strongest minds need relaxation. The bow can not always be kept bent, othcrwiso^its elasticity is irretrievably injured. Like it, the human mind must be relaxed from time to time, to allow it to recover its strength and tone.— This lesson is well taught in the traditionary story related of the Apostle John. A hunter one day passing, appeared much (surprised at seeing- him caressing a little bird with all tlrj delight of a child. The well-beloved disciple observing his astonishment, said to the hunter, "Why do not you keep your bow alivnys bent?" "Because it would soon loose iis strength if it were always strung." "Well," replied the old man, "it would be the same with my mind if I gave it no relaxation, it would, in like manner, lose its force."

It is interesting to note the amusements of learned and groat men of present and past times. Their predilections, their private tastes, their amusements, their domestic habits, their relaxations—in a word, all that satisfies them, annoys them, amuses them—arc capable of furnishing useful lessons to our race for a man's manners and habits help us to a knowledge of him, and are the best cvidcuce of his real character.

Many great men have delighted in passing their hours of relaxation in the company of children. This betokens a pure and loving nature. Richtcr says, the man is to be shunned who does not love the society of children. Henry IV., was passionately fond of them, and delighted in their gambols and little caprices. One day, when crawling round his room on all-fours, on his hands and knees, with the Dauphin on his back, and the other children about him urging the thing to gallop in imitation of a horse, an embassador suddenly entered and surprised the royal family in the midst of their fun. Henry, without rising to his feet, asked, "Have

(l0gS—the

you

children,

Mr. Embassador?" "Yes, sire." "In that case I proceed with the spoit, replied the king.

The Duke of Wellington, was, in like manner, extremely fond of children, and '. was a general favorite with them. He enjoyed their gambols, took part in them, ».-• and was constantly presenting them with little keepsakes and presents. The opera was his chief amusement and he was a regular frequenter of both houses as well as of the Ancient and other first-class concerts. 'Leibnitz used to pass months together in his study, engaged with his laborious investigations. At such times his only relaxation consisted in collecting about him in his study, children of both sexes, whom he watched and sometimes he took a part iu their frolics. Seated in his easy chair,

ho delighted to observe their lively movements, to liston to their conversation, and to observe their several dispositions and when his soul had sufficiently enjoyed the innocent spectacle, ho would dismiss the children with sweetmeats, and return to bis studies with renewed energy.

Louis Racine says of his father, that he took, part iu all the children's sports. "I remember a procession we once had," says he in his memoirs, "in which my sisters played the part of the clergy, I was the curate, and the author of

Atlialic,

singing

in chorus with us, carried tho cross." Napoleon, like Wellington, was fond of children. He used to take the infant king of Bome in his anus, and standing in front of a mirror with him, there made the oddest grimaces in the glass. At breakfast he would take the child upon his knee, dip his finger in the sauce and daub his face with it: the child's governess scolded, the emperor laughed, and the child, almost always pleased, appeared to delight in the rough caresses of his father. Those .who, on such occasions, had a favor to solicit from the emperor, were almost always sure of being favorably received.

Napoleon also took great delight in the wound of hells. Bourrienne relates, that when walkingvwith.him.in. the avenue at Marmaison, the village, bell would interrapt him in his conversation about the graveat matters. He would stop suddenly, lifton, as if not to lose a note and he

Louis XIV.'b brother, the dote of Orleans, was also "passionately fond of bells, and cared for no other music. He always made a point of resorting to Paris at the times when the bells were set a-riqging, as, for instance, on the day when the vigil of the dead is rung. He used to declare that the ringing gave him a-delight quite beyond expression. juii

Who would have imagined that the grave the philosophic Socrates," during his hours of leisure, took pleasure in.dancing? Yet it was so! By dancing, leaping, and pther exercises- of the body, he preserved his bodily health

not in the humor for physical exercise', he amused himself by playing upon the lyre, which tuned and tempered bis mind.— These old Greeks took much more ration-. al methods of educating and developing' the whole nature of man than we moderns do. They regarded physical education as the groundwork of. mental and sought to train the bodily powers and develop the muscular energies at the same time that they cultivated the mind by discipline and study. "A sound mind in

a sound body,"

was one of their current maxims. Many other wise men, besides Socrates, dliem, and they thus greatly have taken great delight iu music. Epa-,

minondas, a famous Grecian general, used to take pleasure in singing at the village festivals. The cruel Nero "fiddled while Rome was burning,"—at least lie. played the harp, foj there were not,'as yet, fiddles in those days. Luther delighted in playing the flute, arid thus lised to soothe his' excited feelings. Frederick II. of Prussia, allayed the most violent agonies of mind with tho same instrument. An hour's playing generally sufficed to reduce him to perfect tranquility. Milton delighted in playing the organ and composed several fine psalin tunes, which are, to this day, sung iu our churches. Bentbam was passionately fond of musjc, and played the organ there was scarcely a room in his house -without a piano. '. He took pleasure even in running liis fingorq over the keys. Gainsborough, the' painter, was a capital performer on the violin,

Byron's great delight was flowers and while in Italy, he purchased a fresh bouquet every day. He had flowers in every room and he" said to Lady Blessin'gton, that they filled him with a sweet mclaneholv, and inspired him with serious thoughts. Byron was also fond of animals. In his youth lie made a friend of a boar, and, later in life, lie formed attachments to

Oato the censor, no matter howsoever urgent the business of the republic, would never leave his home in the morning without first having seen his wife wash and dress the baby!— Cicero, after having put the finishing hand to his orations, called in the children and had a joyous romp with them A great diversion of the emperor Augustus was to play at games with little children, who were brought from all parts for the purpose—Moorish and Syflan children being his chief favorites. There was one little fellow, of the name of Nucius, who stood only two feet high, and weighed only seventeen pounds, but who, nevertheless, had a prodigious voice ho was an especial favorite. Rousseau said, that nothing gave him greater pleasure than to see little

had neither wife nor children, they have taken to dogs, horses, serpents, birds, and even spiders Goethe rarely passed a day without bringing out from the chimney corner alive snake which lie kept there, and caressing it like a bosom friend. Tiberius, a Roman emperor, also made an intimate companion of a serpent, which he trained to take food out of his hand. Augustus wa3 exceedingly fond of a parrot, but still more so of a quail, the loss of which made him as sad as if he had lost a battle. Honorius, another Roman emperor, was so grieved at the loss of'a hen, named Roma, that he would willingly have given Rome itself to bring it b:ick but Alaric had takou.,Rome. The emperor. Domitian occupicd his leisure in catching flies.— Louis XI. when ill at Plessis-le-Tours, only found pleasure in an exhibition of dancing piffs, oddly dressed up, which were trained for his spocial entertainment.

Richter was verv fond of tame animals, which ho constantly had about him. Sometimes a mouse .then a great white cross spider, which lie kept in a.paper box with a glass top. There was a little door beneath, by which he could feed his prisoner with dead flies. .In-the autumn he collected the winter food for, his little treefrog and his tame spider.

Next to money, Rembrandt loved nothing so much as his monkey. He was one day punting a picture of a noble family, when the intelligence was brought to him of his ape^ death. -He could scarcely

contain his grief, and lamented his unhappy lot. Sobbing and crying, he forthwith began delicneating the form of the. ape upon the family picture: They remonstrated with him, and'protested that an'ape was quite out of placeintlie company of such distinguished personages. Thefamily were most indignant, ana ordered him to. efface the tracts Of, the" aniiiial. But he continued to weep,' and went on paintinghis ape.

He fed them, played with elieved thc

But Latude only made friends of rats from necessity. The Marquis de Moutespan, in perfect freedom of choice, had the. extraordinary taste fo. amuse himself with mice, when occupying the' gilded apartments of Versailles. True, the mice were white, and had bfecn:brought to him all the way from Siberia but the -taste was iv most odd one, nevertheless.

Cardirial MaKarin, the French 'minister, employed his leisure fn playing with an ape and Cardinal "Richelieu amused himself with,his collection of cats., The poet Alficri was proud of his horses, and^topkgreat delight in fondling and caressing them. Cowper was at no time so happy as when feeding his tame hares.

There are other historic' names associated with pet animals, among which may be named the vulture of Seniinunis, the butterfly of Virgil, tlic starling of Nero, the ape of Commodus, the sparrow of Heliogabalus. and,the doV.c of Mohammed.-

Finally, among the other relaxations of learned and great men may be mentioned Calvin's game of throwing dice along a table—whereas Luther was great iu ninepins. When lie knocked down all the pins' at a stroke he was as much delighted as it he had upset all the papists. Boilcauwas__ also very fond of the same game, and when he prostrated the uinc-pins, he was better pleased than if lie had completed his best ode. Massillon the preacher used to assemble Oratorians and Jesuits in hi3 room, and set them to-play at chess together, meanwhile exhorting them never to engage iu any less innocent warfare. Buffon's great delight was in gleaning the village gossip from the village barber during his morning toilet. Charlemagne chief relaxation and pleasure consisted in swimming in a bath, together with his sons, officers, and others. Charlemagne beat them all at swimming. Boyle the philosophers great delight, like Curran's, was to watch the exhibition of puppet-shows. The performance of Punchinello invariably drew him iuto the street, and he did not mind standing in the midst of a shower .qf rain to witness it. In like manner Tasso's live-

It is a delicato matter to interfere with the canvass goiug on in other States but as the contest is on baud in our. noigliborin* States, we can't avoid one suggestion that is general, and that is that good j)em ocrats should support the nominees of their party.
