DULL BoYs.-Some minds are like Nor
wegian pines. They are slow in growth,
but they strike their roots deep. Some of
the greatest men have been dull hoys. Dry
den and Swift were dull boys. So was
Goldsmith. So was Gibbon. So was Sir
Walter Scott. Napoleon at school had so
much difficulty III learning Latin that the
master said it would need a gimlet to get a
word into his head. Douglas Jerrod was
so backward in bis boyhood that at nine
he was scarcely able TO read. Isaac Bar
row. one of the greatest divines the Church
of England ever produced, was so stupid,
in his early years, that his father more than
once said that, if God took away any of his
children, he hoped it would be Isaac, as he
feared he would never be fit for any thing
