the British and Provincial officers. A Brit

Jin anttiote worth relating. We have
entertained the most thorough respect for Dr.
Anthon, the auUidr of the Classical Pictioa-
ary; but an event has lately come to our
knowledge which swells this sentiment to
one of affectionate veneration.
The eldest son of a literary gentleman in
this city a man -held in sincere regard by
thc public is a boy of fine talents and ami-
a,l0 te;nperv He long3d for the advantages
Gf a ii!,era education; but, on account of the
narrow circumstancss of his parents, saw no
prospect of gratifying -so-laudable- a desire,
At last, prompted by this ardent wish, he
applied to Mr. Thos. W. White, editor of
of lhe Southern Literary Messenger. Mr.
White was walking in Murray st. opposite
the grammar school under the charge of Prb-
fessor Anthon, whers he was accosted by the
VOnni lad. who had made his aeouaintance
at his father's house. He pointed to the
school-house, and of his own accord, signi
fied how happy he should be if the circum
stances of his 'friends could enable them to
place him tinder the tuition of Dr. Anthnn.
Mr. White spoke to him encouragingly, and
promised to sc what could be'done. In the
evening of the same day.Jie called upon the
learned Professor and related the occurrence
of the morning. No sooner was Dr. An-
thon made acquainted with the fact than he
replied, ,
"fkiy no m5ra, Mr. White, say no more.
Sand the lad to me with a note written by
yourself to-morrow morning, and I will give
him a good classical education, and no charge
to his father. Lat the secand son, his Bro
