;. What is = salt boy2

|
Professor What is salt box?
Student. 1t is box made to contain salt
Prof How is it divided!
Stud. Into salt box and box OF salt
| Prot. Very well, show the distinction!
Stud. A salt box may be where there is no
salt,but salt is absolutely necessary to the exis-
! tence of box of salt.
Prof Are not salt boxes Otherwise divided!
Stud Yes, by partition.
Prof What is the use ofthis division.
Stud. To separate the coarse from the fine.
Prof How think little.
Stud. To separate the fine salt from the
coarse
Prof To be sure to separate the fine from the
coarse; but are not salt boxes otherwise distin-
guished
Stud. Yes, into possible, positive, aud proba-
ble
Prof Define these several kinds of salt box
es.
Stud possible salt box is salt box yet
unsold, in the joiners' hands.
Pref. Why so
Stud Because it hath not yet become salt
box, having never had any salt in il ; and it may
probably be applied to some other use.
Prof Very true for a salt box which never
had, hath not now, and perhaps never may have
any salt in it, can only be termed possible salt
box. What is a probable salt box
Stud 1t is salt box in the hand of one 90
ing to shop to buy salt, and who hath pence
in his pocket to pay the shopkeeper and a
positive salt box is one which hath actually and
bona tfde got salt it.
Prof Very good; What other division of salt
boxes do you recollect!
Stud. They are divided into substantive and
pendent. A substantive salt box is that which
stands by itself on the table or dresser, and the
pendent is that W hich hangs by nail against
the wall
Prof What is the idea of salt box =?
Sind. 1t is that image which the mind con-
ceivrs of a salt box when no salt is present.
Prof What is the abstract idea of salt box!
Stud. 1t is the idea of a salt box distracted
from the idea of box or of salt, or of salt box
---or of box of salt
Prof Very right; by this means you acquire
most perfect knowledge of salt box but
tell me, is the idea of salt box a salt idea
Stud. Not unless the ideal box hath the idea
Of salt contained in it.
Prot. True and therefore an abstract idea
cannot be salt or fresh, round or square long OF
short and this shows the difference between a
salt idea and an idea of salt-Is an aptitude to
hold salt an essential or an accidental property
of salt box?
Stud 1t is an essential, but if there should
be crack in the bottom of the box, the aptitude
to spill salt would be termed an accidental
property of that salt box.
Isvr. vcly ,sefi, very en- rnGeeu. wnar is
the salt called with respect to the box?
Stud 1t is called its contents {!
Prof And why so
Stad. Because the cook is content to find
plenty of salt in the box
Prot. You are very right

FRIENDSHIP.

Friendship is but an earthly name
For joys that bloom in heaven:
BY wild ambition thirst for fame,
To friendlier climes It's driven.
In sweet prosperity It's born.
Wheu joyful hopes are given;
il grows in fortunes vernon morn,
But dies in front Of even.
friendship alone in virtues soil
VIII flourish and mature;
In this poor field of worldly toll
Ii never will endure.
Then why enquire for friendship here,
Since earthly joys are feeting;
Our hopes are vain, our prospects drear
Our wishes never meeting.
