to all those whom the inconstant
wave of politics leaves disabled on the
beach. Is it not, after ALL the most glorious
and the most extensive field that it is given
man to fertlize Is it not the only soil where
he can SOW germs which shoot out deep roots
and branches eternally green In hours of
trouble and anxiety, men like Augustin
Therry and Prescott are there to recall it to
us. They are there to tell us that the ever
open breast of study offers to the impatient
and the discouraged the same sanctuary that,
as the immortal verses say, the ever.open
breast of nature offers to the man disabused

employment of ones life. This is already a
good deal for a child of the second half of the
nineteenth century.
