but we might he somewhat surprised when
aged and venerable men utter the language Of

started a poor boy, and the first Office to which
he attained was that Of constable, and by labor

honorable labor that We now find golden sub
Stltuted for the pewter spoon. He has never
dishonored any Office he has filled, but has
adorned them all and it is more than probable
that all his detractors have not retained the
golden spoon in honor and dignity, nor have all
perhaps rendered very renowned the places they
may have filed. We first pity and then hate,
and the position Of some of these detractors
might well be illustrated by this passage from
the gifted and sublime poet. One of them

fell, how glorious once above thy sphere"
1t so happened that dutiful and conserva-

while he was thus engaged in the act of apostra-
phsing the sun; and he is represented as hav-
ing used the most violent misunderstanding
hideonsly,-his knees shifting together his
breast heaving and sinking like the earth when
smitten by an earthquake. Such were the pas
sions which agitated the breast and tormentcd
the conscience of this creature, thus fallen from
his lofty estate by his own acts of folly and mi
guilty; and such are the passions which torture
the disappointed, who by their own avarice,
folly or vicious errors have failed in their
brightest hopes and dashed to the dust the most
splendid future. Reasoning is wholesome, for
bearance with judgment is charitable and heal
ing; but pity With hate, envy and violence of
prejudice or passion are hellish and are so often
the lot Of man that we are forced to be mindful
