Distinguished self.Made Men,

Ono OF the best editors the Westminster
ReuietO could ever boast Of aud one of the
most brilliant writer's Of the passing hour
was an Aberdeen cooper. One OF the edi'
tors Of tho London Daily Journal was an
Elgin baker; perhaps one of the best re.
portcrs Of The London Times was an Edin-
burg weaver; the editor Of the Witness was
stone. mason.
One of the abcst ministers in London
was Dundee blacksmith, and another was
a Banfi matchmaker. The lato DR.. Milne
OF China, was Rhine herd boy. The prin-
cipal of the London Missionary Society's
College at Hong Kong was Huntey sad
dior; and one OF tho worry best missionaries
that ever wen. to India was Koith tailor.
Tho leading machinist on tho London and
Birmingham Rrairoad was Glasgow me
chanic; and perhaps the very richest iron
founder in England was Moray working
man. Sir James Clark, her Majesty's ply
sician, was Banfi druggist Joseph Hume
was sailor first, and then a lubOrer at 1
mortar and pestlo in Montrose. These men
however, spent their leisure hours in acquir
ing useful knowledge.

How Life ia Lost

A man died the other day at the Bellevue
Hospital. after being sick over two years,
Gu Opeoiog the chest, there was scarcely a
single inch of sound lung on ono side; the
organ had brokou down in one mass OF cor
ruption, and the yellow matter of consump-
tion was dipped out with skull, tho most
convenient cup ut hand. Ho bad been
working in the garden one summers day,
and feeling little tirod at noon, went
round to tho shady side of the house and
sat down to rest A littlo wind was blowing,
which was SO very grateful to him that he
INDUCED himself in it for some minutes,
whom he was takon with chill, and mover
knew weli moment afterwards.
Only two days ago, one OF the sweetest
possible pair Of black eyes came to enquire
with all tho shrinking aud diffidence in
scparable from tho occasion, W hat we thought
OF tho case Of young gcntlomnn who had
applied for advice within week, stating Of
a reason that they were engaged to b'
married. Tho youhg man had arisen one
morning in carly May. and dressed in verl
light clothing, but he was so much mistaken
in tho temperature of the weather, that b'
was soon chilled, without tho means o
changing his condition for some time; tina
is, be iult chilly for several consecutive hours
and has been an invalid ever since. The
disease had made such fearful progress. tha
two-ihirds of his lungs wore useless to him
and enaciation, uight swcats, a harrassinJ
cough and swollen feet, mado it useless T.
afford the encouragement Of oven prescribing
for tho case.
These two casos involve tho same princi
ple-getting chilled; one after exercise, tb
other by remaining cold for hours, Surely

CONTROVERSY MANY contentious arise
