positions are the very errors OF
nature" and that the habit is
peculiar TO narrow minds" DR..
Barrow, the celebrated English
divine, who is now known TO the
general reader chiefly by his fam
Gus definition of wit, also describ
ed in a notable way the fault.fnd
ing habit and the poisonous state
of mind which it denotes
can honest and charitable
mind disposes us, when we
see any man endued with
good qualities and pursuing
a tenor of good practice, to
esteem such person, to com.
mend him, to interpret what
he doeth to the best, not to
suspect any i'll of him, or to
seek anv exception against
him, 4 But on the con
trary, it is the property of d
detractor, when he seeth Il
worthy person, whom he doth
not effect, or whom he is con
cerned to wrong, to survey
him thoroughly, and to sift all
his actions, with intent to de-
cry some failing or any sem
blance ofa fault, by which he
may disparage hlm; when he
vieweth any good action he
peereth into it, laboring to
espy some pretense, to dero-
gate from the commendation
apparently belonging TO it
AS good nature and ingenu-
Gus disposition incline men
to observe, like and commend
what appeareth best in our
nelghbor; so malignancy of
temper and heart promoteth
toespy and catchat the worst;
one, as a bee, gathereth hon
ey out of any herb; the other,
as spider, sucketh poison
out of the sweetest flower"

EoR TIE LITTLE ONES.
How a Little Dutch Boy Became a
Great Physician.

Among the lives of eminent per-
sons recorded by DR.. Johnson is
that Of Herman Boerhaave, very
celebrated Dutch physician. From
his early childhood young Boer-
have was extremely fond of learn
ing, and very soon his thoughts
turned to the study of medicine.
When he was little more than elev-
en- years old, he was afflicted with a
painful disease in his left thigh, and
none of the surgeons or physicians
could do him any good. This strange
boy, by constant experiment and
careful study of his own case, sue
ceeded in curing himself.
lie was most persevering and sue
cessful in his studies, gaining many
prizes, and when he became a pro-
fossor he did a great deal for the
cause of learning, especially of med
ical science.
Though strong man, he had
many illnesses, and thus he learned
to feel for his patients.
DR.. Boerhaaye used to tell his
friends that when he lay whole days
and nights without sleep and in
great pain nothing gave him SO
much relief as thinking about his
studies and repeating from memory
the many things which he had read
and learned. lie was always patient
under suffering, and the more he
had to bear the more he tried to
ease the pains of others. &C. j.
Blake in Chatterbox.

POST OFFICE CLASSIFICATION

of Post Offices what they are,
how they are advanced from class
to class, the salaries and compen.

ferent grades and the process of
'relegating' Presidential post Of
fees back to the fourth class and
other queries along this line,"
SAID an old post Office inspector
recently.
at is possible to give this in
formation in a succinct and COM
prehensive form. While there
are three classes of Presidential
post offices, the department in
the preparation of it's appoint
ment papers divides all post Of
fees into but two classes-Presi-
dental and fourth class.
ga Presidential Office is an Of
fee where the salary of the post
master amounts to not less than
$3.50 per quarter for four consec-
utive quarters, and the gross re-
ceipts for the same time amounts
to $1,000. When an office has paid
the above amount for four con-
secutive quarters and the gross
receipts have amounted to $1,000,
or more, it is then advanced to
the Presidential class.
ga first,class Presidential Of
fee is one in which the gross re-
ceipts are over $4,000 per an
mum, the salary of the postmas-
ter of the same being from $4,000
to $4,000. A second class Office is
one where the gross receipts
amount to $4,000 and not exceed
ing $4,000 per annum, the sala-
ry of the postmaster of the same
being from $4,000 to $1,000 per an,
mum. A third class office is one
where the gross receipts are ST.
900 and not exceeding $4,000 pei
annum, the salary of the post
master of this class being from
$1,000 to $1,000 per annum.
Fourth class post offices com
prise all offices where the re
ceipts are less than $1,000 per an
mum, or where the compensation
of the postmaster does no
amount to $3.50 per quarter fol
four consecutive quarters.
Fourth class postmasters arr
allowed as compensation th'
whole of the box rents collected
at their offices and com missions
on cancellations of matter actual

A wellington Story.

Wellington's grandniece tells this an
ecdote of the Iron Dukes sense of jus
tice in the just published volume of his
letters: II forget If it was at Walmer or
at Strathfeldsaye that he one evening in
the drawing room rang the bell several
times, and, no servant answering it. he
became extremely angry. When at last
a footman appeared, the duke stormed.
with very strong language, at his neglect
of duty. I, small child, so far from
being frightened, thought 1t exceedingly
funny to see the duke angry and went
into fits of laughter. This checked him,
and the footman interposed saying: IL
your grace will look, you will see the bell
is broken and never rang at all. l only
came in for something else The duke ex-
amined the bell and then turned to the
footman and said: Yes, l was wrong. l
am very sorry. william. and | beg your
pardon, and then, turning to me, added
