Essentials of a Great Man.

You can not substitute any epithet
for great. when you are talking Of
great men. Greatness Is not general
dexterity carried to any extent: nor
proficiency in any one subject OF hui
man endeavor. There are great as
tronomers, great scholars, great paint
ers, even great poets, who are very
far from great men. Greatness can
do without success, and with 1t. VIII
liam is greater in his retreats than
Marlborough In his victories, On the
other hand, the uniformity of Caesars
success does not dull his greatness
Greatness is not in the circumstances,
but in the man,-Arthur Helps.

The Word Post.

Many persons wonder how we got
the word post as applied to the

positus, which means placed; there
fore II Is fixed station. From this
II came to mean an established con.
veyance of letters from one station to

word used by Shakespeare, means
