Genius generally pays a heavy tax for its celebrity, qo heavy indeed, that the prize is soraetimes “ hardly worth the cost.” Amongst the wise Motions of the world, is one that men of genius must ne cessarily and naturally be eccentric in their appearance, habits and manners. If a man of genius he so unfortunate as to he a gen tleman by birth and education, if be he re fined and courtly in his, manners, neat and fashionable in his apparel, easy and unos tentatious in his conversation, wiseacres declare it j^omshing and past coinprehen- sion, that 'agemns should^ be like any ordi nary map. They seem to expect that a man of genius should wear a coat o f clouds, a vest o f sunshine, and rainbow inexpressi bles ; that every glance of his eye should be lightning, and every tone o f his^voice thunder; that he should take a glass of wine with his elbows, and carve a turkey with his head. If a genius does not choose to fulfil these very sensible expeclptions, if he chooses to dress, to act, to converse and to walk like ordinary men, let him be ware the high wrath an({ mighty displeas ure o f the wiseacres whom he disappoints —he is guilty of unforgiven sin, and of course, it is useless to attempt atonement! The plain common sense of the matter is, that the eccentricity of «t man o f genius belongs tot his fnind and not to his body; it properly consists in his peculiar opinions, habits o f thought and feeling, and there is no reason in the world why he should he singular in his manners and oxtraordinary in his appearance. If he is a man of the world, brought up in j^lished society, and accustomed to its forms and usages, he will respect those usages and follow them as a matter o f course; he will enter the draw ing-room on his feet, and not on his head —he will look upon a crowded company not wjth \ an eye in fine frenzy rolling,” for that is not suited to the p lace; but with an eye that has seen such things before;— when he is spoken to, he will make a sen sible and suitable reply; if he is tq^ that the weather is warm, he will*iiot talil about the frosty Caucasus”—and when he is present, he will not he absent. When he is at -dinner, he wilh take his knife and fork in his hand and not between his teeth—he will drink his wine out of the glass and not the decanter. If he is asked whether he prefers fish to fowl, he will not pretend that his exalted soul cannot think on such tri fles and that he does not know a salmon from a partrldgei[ He is aware that a lob>< ster is not an apple-pie, and that a roasted pig is not a potatoe. He will call a servant in plain terms for a glass of water, and not for the crystal wave of the fountain, and having relieved his thirst, he will set the glass on the table instead of throwing it over his head, or putting it in his pocket. He will not eat the turtle soup with a fork, nor mutton with a spoon ; he will not put sugar on his oysters nor. vinegar on his pudding. Now, all this is utterly astonish ing to the believers in the eccentricity of genius, and they can only solve the mystery by concluding that the man’s genius has been altogether overrated. That there have been many men o f gen ius who have indulged in eccentricity o f habits and manners we do not deny ; and have there not been many stupid men also, equally eccentric 1 If eccentricity then he an evidence o f high intellect, folly and stu pidity must also be attributes o f intellect. Many a fool puts^n the garb o f peculiarity because he has been told it is the garb of genius. It is high time that this ridiculous notion were exploded. They who enjoy the personal intimacy o f men o f genius are well aware that uncommon, sense does nqt necessarily imply the absence of edmmon sense. When Lord Byron mingled in so ciety, his manners were neither more nor less than the polished and courtly deport ment o f the English' gentleman, *siroply, becatisc he was Tiorn and bred to that rank—he answered plain questions in a plain way, and reserved his soaring thoughts and his high imaginings for his ionable, bift hi? rip him the polished s Are not these this ptopdMii and. ^ h e s l names on the, aoll o f English' geriras court-circle with his . stockings over his shoes, or without either^ § h ^ .of log's 1 Has Campbell never fallbh in of poetic fury at the breakfasl-tahlel HaS Tom Moore never brought his. .#titing-- es, totally utK»nscjoik o f the soufid ?- fiddiei and \ the light echohs o f ih'et 1”— Never; alas, wiseapreql heVet. 5.. ^ .
