Sylla sand oi Caesar, when he par
doned him at the earnest entreaty
of his friends You wish his
pardon-l consent ; but know, that
this young man, whose life you so ca
gerly plead for, will prove the most
deadly enemy of the party which you
and l have defended. There is in
Caesar more than a Marius." The
prediction was realized.
Thomas Aquiaas was so unusually
simple and reserved in conversation,
that his fellow.students regarded him
as a very mediocre person, and jocu-
larly called him The dumb or Of Sic

You call brother Thomas a dumb or,
but be assured that one day the noise

struck by its merit, that he called the
youth to him, and said, scanning him

terbury, early predicted the future
greatness of Sir Thomas More. Point
ing to the boy one day, he said to
those about him" That you will one
day be the ornament of England"
Cardinal Wolsey, though butch
er's son, had an early presentiment of
his future great eminence. lie used
to say, that if he could but once set
foot at court. he would soon introduce
himself there. And scarcely had he
obtained admission at court, the pos
SCISSOR of humble benefce, than he
did not hesitate to say, that Z" hence
forth there was no favor to which he
dare not aspire"
At eighteen, Gondi, afterwards
Cardinal de Retz, composed certain
"reminiscences Of early studies, on read
