BODY AND MlND MAKE GREAT MAN.-It
seems n melancholy fact to be obliged to own
mp to, yet we cannot help it, that men are born,
not made great afterwards. Long time ago, old
Horace said that a sound mind must tenement a
sound body--a poor decrepid couldn not become
great. We notice that a late number of the
London Times has few remarks upon the sub
ject:
What can man do with out constitution
working constitution? He is laid on the shelf
from the day he is born. For him mnniii-
cent destiny reserves the Great Seal, or the
Rolls, the Chief JuSticeship, or the leadership
Of the House Of Commons, the Treasury or the
Admiralty, or the Horse Guards, the Harnc-of /
flee, or the Colonies. The Church may pro
;note him, for 1t does not signify to the Church
whether n man does his work or not, but the
State will have nothing to do with tho poor con- i
stitutionless wretch He will not rise higher
than 81 Recordeaship or Poor Law Board I
"But," somrhody will ask, "hts that pale, lean !

are two sorts of good constitutions, idle
constitutions, and good working ones. When

with the latter gift. Not that we wish to de-

as a soul to work with. Charles Butler, Sir

Of mei, whose bodies refused to support their

very poor bodies Let our lean cadayerous
friend then, when the laurel snrmounts his
knotty parchment face, thank Heaven for his
body, which, he may depend upon it, is almost
as great treasure as his soul. Nature may
not have made him a handsome man, but what
docs that signify? She has made him strong
