The Man Of Genius.

Flesh and Blood could bear it no longer . Tom hadafew pence still chinking- in his pocket , and he went into a poor woman ' s house to eat one ofthe sausages she sold at her door . " Alack ! master ( said the poor woman , while he was eating his sausage ) , why be ye so molancholy ? " Because my money ' s gone . — " Good heart ! I ' m very sorry for that ; but I hopes you have enough to pay for my sausage . Andhave you no employment nowto get more ?"—

-. , money I ' m a Man of Genius .- ^ - " La ! are you indeed ? Well , I'm -sure I likes all Men of Genus for the sake of my poor dead boy , Sammey , Who was the most surprisingst Genus in the world . He read the Testament at fourteen , and it was said if he had lived six years longer he ' would have been able to write ' . But that wonder ofthe world is gone ! " - .

And so , I fear , is poor Tom Cygnet ; for I . traced him to this poor woman ' s house , and could trace him no farther . . S .. e tells me that he left her house immediately , and since that time he has not been heard of . Let us all pray that none of our children , be Men of Genius .
