A noble trait in the character Of the
Spaniard is thus warmly eulogised by Bar
row, in his "Blblc in Spain, "-'' To the
honor of Spain be It spoken. it is one Of
the few countries Of Europe where power
tv is never insulted or looked upon with
contempt. Even at an inn. the poor man
is never spurned from the door; and if not
harborcd, is at least dismissed with fair
words, and consigned to the merces Of
God and his mother. This is as it should
be. I laughed at the bigotry and prejudice
of SPAN; abhor the cruelty and ferocIty
which have cast a stain Of eternal infamy
on her history; bat will say no people IN
the world either exhibit iuster feeling Of
what is due to the dignity Of human nature
or better understand the behavior which it
bchooves a man to adopt towards his fell
low being"
