LONDO.V, SATURDAY, JUNE 8.

THE mystery of death which spares the worth-
less and the outcast, and leaves the frivolous and
the vain to cumber the earth, while it strikes
down the brave, the beautiful, and the strong in
the dower of youth and promise, or in the fulness
of renown, is • despairing thought to hearts un-
chastened by immortal hopes. But never does the
seeming chaos of mortal destinies perplex and be-
wilder even the moat stedfast faith with a more
poignant anguish of smaasseent than when one
whose ►ife but yesterday was all in all to • people
and a cause, is to-day laid low for ever, and hurried
by the unseen hand beyond the reach of earthly
interests and pensions. Death, however lin-
gering and long expected, always cornea
suddenly at last to those who remain
to mourn. But bow suddenly to a nation, when
the body that was buried last night was but a
week ago all that the world admired, feared,
honoured, or calumniated, when it pronounced the
name of Csvui-• ! The spontaneous homage of
respect which both Houses of the British Par-
liament have paid to the great departed, does
equal honour to the England which he loved so
well as the holy ground of ancient liberty, and to
the new-born Italy, which is in some sense the
spiritual offspring of that pure sad lofty sym-
pathy which never descended to vulgar passions or
to mean desires. Nor would this homage have
been complete, bad not some young man of plea-
sure in the Cpper House, who favours
the legislature of his country with the here-
ditary wisdom of his idler hours, lifted
his leg over the open grave ; whilst in the
Lower • pious enthusiast, who combines something
like sedition at home with • fanatical fondness
for oppression abroad, defamed religion and blas-
phemed the dead. Flaunt etiom ignott.
If the great Italian is wept for with almost •
private and personal sorrow by thousands far
away who have never seen his face or heard his
voice, what must be the mourning throughout his
own Italy ! Such, indeed, is the sole and supreme
reward of a life of exalted aims and immense
endeavours—the sorrowing affection of mankind.
Death disperses that mist of familiarity which ob-
scures from the crowd the grandeur of • life. For
the human errors and imperfections were as the dust
and shadow of the self-denial and self-devotion,
in which the busy brain was spent, and the burst-
ing heart consumed as in • devouring flame.
" The end of such endeavours," as Professor
(luLowus SMITH has finely said, " is a common
" good. It is an addition to the high examples
" and true nobleness of the world." The moral
excellence of such a character as Cs vova's is only
seen in all its splendour when it is setting beneath
the horizon of this world. For nothing is less true
than th►t death proclaims and consecrates this
equality of mankind. It levels factitious
aristocracies, but establishes true distinctions, and
clean away the rubbish of circumstance and
fortune from everlasting memories. While
Csv"r• lived, few were willing and few were able
to do justice to that proud and lonely
heroism. Loneliness is, perhaps, the destiny of
all superior natures ; but to • patriot statesman,
whose laboun, and watching., and wearing
anxieties, and wasting cares are hoarded up in
jealous secrecy and silence, loveliness is • necee.
Sty. We who have the happiness to be the
citizens of a free, powerful, rich, and prosperous
State, built upon foundations broad and deep,
have little conception of such a task of states-
manship as that to which the energies of CAvoca
succumbed. A statesman with the wealth and
strength of the British Empire at his back, sus-
tained by the spirit of a people thoroughly
united, and the eldest born of liberty, is
like the manager of a flourishing house of
business, in the enjoyment of unbounded credit,
and of resources which no disturbance can shake.
A popular British Minister, now-a-days, is
by no means an idler ; but he has no anxieties
more serious than those of the rich proprietor of •
vast estate. Compare the anxieties and respon-
Shaine. of the Fumy Messrs• who has created
Italy, who in courage must be more than
a match for • host of enemies, and in wary
adroitness more than • match for the craftiest and
most overbearing of allies; who conducts ttireic or
four department. of State, and who hold. all the
threads on which the fate of his country hangs.
Compare the life of such • man with the easy
lives of the statesmen of ancient and
set:led States, and then compare it with the
menials lives of the common run of has

fellow-ereatufsll. Compare hie servile' even with the
dangers and fatigues of *ems war, or with the
romantic sufferings of irresponsible theorists, and
say on which side the highest moral ideal L to be
found. It is ono thing for a man to die fighting
with the light of battle in his eyes and the shouts
of victory in his ears, and another to be done to
death slowly, day by day sod hour by hour, by a
policy of enforced caution and delay, and by the
patient endurance of trial' and difficulties bidden
in a ideeplees brevet, whits envy and malignity ars
raging all around. Surely there are other battle-
fields than those of war, and Carom, too, bee fallen
in his armour, with his face to the foe. It is sad
enough to suppose that, humanly speaking, that
inestimable life may have been cut short by
