Similarity of Names.

One of the odd things in q great city
is the mum Der of people who have SINH
lar names, from which amusing and
often annoying experience are apt to
result. To say nothing of John Smith,
when one John Brown or VIM. Robin
son gets married, dozen of other John
Browns or VIM. Robinsons receive let
tiers of congratulation, and if one of the
name applies for divorce, all the So
cial circles of all the others wonder if
the applicant is the man they know.
This is the time the wives of such
gentlemen receive numerous calls from
their friends, all of whom think, of
course, it could not possibly be their
acquaintance, but that they will feel
more comfortable if they 90 and see
about it. 1t may even happen that a
very prominent citizen who never took
pin from any one, or could bring
himself to kill fly, takes up his
morning newspaper, and reads his own
name as one associated with burglary
or suspected murder, and it may be
assumed that that paragraph would
make him feel decidedly uncomfort-
able. Then it is he realizes what is in
q name, and thinks he would prefer the
perfume OF the felony to be attached to
some other than his own.

Those men who destroy q healthful

There cannot be . greater rudeness
than to interrupt another in the current

The only way to make the mass of
mankind see the beauty of justice is by
showing them in pretty plain terms the
consequence of injustice. = Sidney

IT'S the property of all true know

the soul by filling it, to enlarge it with
out swelling it. to make it more cap

He that visits the sick only for leg

A SCrupuIous Letter-Writcr.

Rogers was fastidious to a fault, and
wrote with great difficulty-correcti
and recorrecting with painful elabora-
ton whatever he wrote, either in prose
or IN Verse-sometimes spending a
week OF more in the composition of a
single sentence. He once showed me
note which ne had written to Lord
Melbourne, at that time prime minister,
suggesting that he should grant pen
sion on the civil list to the Rev. Mr..
Carey, the translator of Dante. Tho
note consisted but of dozen lines
perhaps even less-but he assured me
that it had occupied his time and care
for full fortnight, and that he hoped
that he had succeeded in rendering it
so compact, and SO forcible, as well as
so elegant, as to defy ingenuity to omit
word from, or add q word to it, or
even to change a single word or phrase
for better one. He read it over to me
as an example of what | and everyone
else ought 10 aim at in epistolary, or
indeed in all literary composition. !
remember the concluding paragraph Of
this painfully produced epistle, which
was: But perhaps your lordship has
already granted the pension? If SOL
envy you! '-BelgrdUiG.
