".c,I unn-u sensitive, and carry
. < sways with him an atmosphere OF
oearcholy hope. Dollinger is never
Quilted by events, be they lucky or un-
lucky; Hyncirthe rejoices and suffers
with every one. The simple stolid
features of u ,,inger denote An intellect at
once elevated and positive; the ascetic
vi.agc Of Hyacnthe (bc does not look 50
in Rome) reveals the mystical tendency
OF his soul. Dollinger has nothing Of the
priest in his exterior, and very little OF
religious character, but his manners are
noble and distinguished: he presents the
real type of professor Of historical
science. Father Hyacntne, on the con-
trary, is priest by nature; the sncerdo-
tai character shows itself as clearly
through his lay garments us through his
Carmelite robe and cloak he is not n de-
voice. but he is pious. In conversation
Dollinger talks but little and with sim.
plcity; his discourse is always forcible,
rarely eloquent. Hya"inthe is always
eloquent. Dolinger 10 often absent, and
attentive and always gentle. Both have
the simplicity of youth. The greatness of
Dollinger consists in his learning aud in
his uprightness; tn, greatness of Hyncin-
the Is in his charity and in his conscience.
Dollinger is passive in his convictions,
and is content with resisting evil
Hyacinthe is active, and feels the n--
cessity Of protesting against injustice.
Dpllinger would correct error by reason
and logic; Hyacinthe would effect the re-
form by demonstration and example.
Dollinger IL exclusively German; he has
an entire faith in German ideas and an
absolute trust in the institutions of his
country. Hyacinthe is essentially French
in his qualities, but cosmopohte in his
sympathy. He loves humanity even bet
ter than his couity. DJllinger has a
benevolent esteem for all mankind, but
il i. Germany alone that he luves. The
life which Dolingsr leads Is that Of n
sage; his house that Of savant. Elegant
simplicity AMI immaculate cleanliness
r-igns throughout his apartments; the
only evidence of wealth is in the books
and paintings He is very ho.pitable and
seldom dimes alone. His meal is good
but not sumptuous. His habits are simple
almost austere. He rises ut five in tbs
morning, and soon after commences work
fer his breakfast he takes II cup Of coffee
with little bre I'd, and until one O'Clock
in the day is continually employed. Their
comes the hour for dinner, at which h
drinks neither wine, beer nor tea. He i
very for d of conversing with hi, guests
After dinner he receives his visitors, ant
not outstanding their great number ant
his immense amount Of occupation, b.
finds time to see all those who seek him
! Towards four or five o'clock he sets on
for walk, which lasts sometimes thre
hours, and whi"h often carries him fa
into the country, at the risk Of fatiguin
his companion. He sups towards seve
g in the evening. He is seven,y-thrs
e years of age, supple and vigorous, an
II looks much younger than he is. i n
