Pu.vhood of DisTixorisiiED Men. Drdtn , played no evidences of more than ordinary in ,ei,rence until lie reuched mature manhood; and Johnson says of Goldsmith, that he was " a j!ant that flowered late." Schiller was a very idiu schu! or and much fondor of ball and leaping than of books. The most interesting thing told of him as a child by his biographer is, that once, in the midst of a storm of thunder and lightning, he climbed a tree, and when asked by his pareu.s whv he did so, replied, whispering: "That the lightning was very beautiful, and M wished to see where it :s coming from." Thin story, if cor rect, furnishes an illustration of the manner in w hich the young mind delights to seek in forma tion for itself in its own way. Perhaps a still more characteristic anecdote is that told of Smea ton, the architect of the Eddystoue Light-house, who, when a boy in petticoats, was one d:iy dis covered on the top of his father's house, in the sci of fixing the model of a wind-mill, which he had constructed. Hut the great majority of the most distinguished men especially of those distinguished for their power have been altogether undistinguished in their boyhood. Sir Isaac N'-wton, perhaps the greatest man, stood very low in his class at school, though he was fond ol mechanical pursuits, and of drawing various natural object. Sir David Brewster says of him, that "when ho arrived at Trinity College, h brought with him a more slender por:ion of sciet.ee than falls to the lot of ordinary scholars; lnt this state ol his acquire meots (continues his biographer) w is perhaps not unfavorable to the development of his mental powers. Unexhausted by premature growth, and invigorated by healthful repose, his mind was the better fitted to make those vigorous and rapid shoots which soon covered Wltb foliage and fruit the genial soil to which it had been transferred." The distinguished Sit Humphrey Davy said of himself: J consider it fortunate that I was left so much to myself when a child, and put upoa no particular plan oi study ; and that 1 enjoyed ao much idleness at Mr. (Jo ry ton's school. I per haps owe to these circumstances the liitle talents that I have, and tl)-ir peculiar application. What I am I have asada myself. I say this without vanitv and in pure simplicity of heart." And it is so in fact. Every m alio mi 1 iS ! does so, not through a when a boy, but liirui he has become m in.
