IIIustrious Dunces--A Chapter for
Dull Boys

An interesting chapter might be writ
ten on the subject Of illustrious ounces
dull boys but brilliant men. We have
room, however, for only few instances.
Pictro di Cortona, the painter, was
thought so stupid that he was nicknamed
ASS Head {" when boy; and Tomaso
Guidi was generally known as heavy
Tom" (Massoccia Tomasaccio,) though
by diligence he afterwards raised himself
to the highest eminence. Newton when
at school stood at the bottom OF the low
ermost form but one. The boy above
Newton having kicked him, the Ounce
showed his pluck by challenging him to
fight, and beat him. Then he set to
work with will, and determined also to
vanquish his antagonist as scholar,
which he did, rising to the top Of his
class. The well-known DIR. Chalmer
and DIR. Cook were boys together at the
parish school of st. Andrews; and they
were found 80 stupid and mischievous,
that the master, irritsted beyond meas
ure, dismissed them both as incorrigible
ounces.
Chatterton was returned to his moth
er's hands as ga fool, of whom nothing
could be made" Burns was dull boy,
good only at athletic exercises. Gold
smith spoke of himself as q plant that
flowered late. Alheri left college no
wiser than he entered it, and did not be-
gin the studies by which he distinguished
himself until he had run over half OF
Europe. Robert Give was Ounce, If
not a reprobate, when youth; but always
full of energy, even in badness. His
family, glad to get rid of him sent him
off to Madras; and he lived to lay the
foundation Of the British power in India.
Napoleon and Wellington were both dull
boys, not distinguished themselves in any
way at school. OF the former the
Duchess d'Abrantes says "He had health
but was in other respects like other boys"
John Howard, the philsnthropist, was
another luxurious Ounce, learning next
to nothing during the seven years that he
was at school, Stephenson, as a youth,
was distinguished chiefly for his skill at
putting and wrestling, and attention
to his work. The brilliant Sir Humphrey
Davy was no cleverer than other boys;
his teacher, Mr.. Davis Gilbert, said of
him, "While he was with me, could
not discern the faculties by which he was
so much distinguished" Indeed he him
self in after life considered it fortunate
that he had been left to "enjoy so much
idleness T" at school. Watt was dull
scholar, notwithstanding the pretty stories
told about his precocity; but he was, what
was better, patient and persevering, and
it was by that means, and by his carefully
cultivated inventiveness, that he was
enabled to perfect his steam engine

Talking and Writing.

A man never knows what he has read
until he has either talked about it or
written about it. Talking and writing
are digestive processes which are abso-
lutely essential to the mental constitution
of the man who devours many books
But it is not every man who can talk
Talking implies, first of all, a readiness
on the part of the speaker, and, next, q
sympathetic listener. 1t is therefore as
a digestive process the most difficult, If
it is the most rapid, in its operation
Writing is difficult affair; a man may
take his time to it, and not require q
reader; he can be his own reader. 1t is
an easier, although more formal, process
of digestion than talking. 1t is in every
bodys power; and everybody who reads
much makes more or less use of it, be-
cause, as Bacon says, if he does not write,
then he ought to have extraordinary
faculties to compensate for such neglect.
1t is in this view that we are to under
stand the complaint of a well known
author that he was ignorant Of certain
subject, and the means by which he was
to dispel his ignorance-namely,b by writ
ing on it. 1t is in. this view that the
monoitorial system of instruction has its
teaching. 1t is from the same point of
view that Sir William Hamilton used to
lament the decay of teaching as part
of the education Of students at the uni
vcrsities. In the olden time it was
necessary to the obtaining of degree
that the graduate should give evidence
Of his capacity as a teacher; and in the
very titles of his degree, as magister,
and doctor, he was designated teacher.
GA man never knows anything" Sir
William used to say, "until he has taught
it in some way or other-it may be orally
it may be in writing book" 1t is y
grand truth, and points tine moral
knowledge is knowledge, say the philoso.
pliers; it is precious for its own sake, it is
an end to itself. But nature says the
opposite. knowledge is not knowledge
until we use it; it is not ours until we
have brought it under the command of
the great social faculty, speech; we exist
for society, and knowledge is null until
we give it expression, and in SO doing
make it over to the social INSTINCT

EE If a stranger, in endeavoring to
dclineate the idiosyncrasics of the Anglo
Saxon race, asserted, among other singu-
lar facts, that, next to the pleasure OF see-
ing man hung, they delighted in hear
ing him sentenced to death, the statement
would excite universal execration, and
yet he would state nothing more than the
truth. The morbid desire to sup upon
horrors, and indulge in that Utilization OF
the nerves and curdling of the blood pro-
duced by contact with anything SAVIOR,
ing of the gallows, appears to pervade all
classes, high and low. From an @stheti'
cal point of view there seems nothing
especially attractive in the struggles of
man clutching at thin air for life, and yet
men will go much further to see crim
inal hung than to see sinner baptised

DRESS AND "THE Feelings" - A
French writer says: In woman's life
everything leans to new dress every
thing ends with new dress; every cir
cumstance is marked by a new dress; and
the dress is always the most important
point. A girl is going to be married.
a dress. For a moment her heart is
filed with love, thoughts of an entirely
new existence, and Of long separation
from her parents. Everything disappears
before the all-absorbing question of the
wedding dress. A relative dies. The
grief of the ladies is violent; but it is
soon checked, for the mourning has to be
thought of. What are people wearing?
What. is the most fashionable mode of
testifying to ones sorrow? 1t is neces-
sary to go to the linen-draper's, and in
little while they are so thoroughly occu-
pied, that there is quite an end to lamen-
tation, unless, however, the dress do not
happen to fit, or the bonnet be too much
or too little off the head. But if the
dress is made of some new material, il
the bonnet is becoming, then they expert
ence an involuntary glow; they are tri'
umphant, they are very happy.
