TWO DANES.

/ The grand little northern land which in
/ spired the greatest genius of all time with
his most sublime creation-which ages be-
fore had sent forth her sea-kings to graft en-
our English nature some of our greatest
qualities; which but yesterday gave one of
her royal maidens TO create a new and
fresh interest in her peopIe-has again cen
tered around her the thoughts and aifec-
lions of all the nations Of the earth. To
our own age she has contributed two Of
the greatest characters of the century
each in his path unsurpassed. The sub
lime materialism aud grand plastic crea-
tons of Thorvaldsen impress all who know
them with the loftiest estimate of his crea-
tive powers. Genius embodied in imper-
ishable marble, yet as destructible as. the
perishable material in which it is enshrined
The other, Hans Andersen, who has lust
passed away amid the tears and sorrow of
all tender hearts, the absolute antipodes of
his great friend and predecessor-gentl
loving, affecdonate, simple to fault, and
absolutely without guile, yet engraven in
mems memories In a material which can
never perish OF pass away, ethereal and IN
substantial as it may seem TO be. The ham
mer of his own Thor could by the blow of
an iconoclast destroy all that the one has
left; the very hand Of Time himself cannot
efface the memory of the other. Born of
poor and uneducaied parents, each had to
struggle in early youth and manhood
against poverty, vicissitudes of every kind,
and uncOngenial surroundings. Thorvald-
sen, as a child and growing lad, was loved
and sought by the companions of his own
age. Hans Andersen, on the contrary, was
Stunned and unloved by all those with
whom he held daily intercourse as a boy;
and the effect in after life of Szis early
training left its indelible mark On Tx sizss
acter of each man. Thorvaldsen was large
hearted and large-minded, capable of in
tense admiration for the works of others.
often acknowledging a brother artists SUI
periority, or seeking his advice in the finish
and detail of his wondrous creations An
dersen, whose early childhood was passed
in dreaming dreams in a world whose
those around him only dimIy I'M
derstoOd, and could neither appreciate nor
sympathize with, remained through life
egotistical, the centre of his own interest
and concern, thoI oughly unconscious that
any other standard but his own, that any
outer circle of which he might be a part
but not the centre, existed in the minds of
men whose friendship and love he accepted
as naturally as the air we breathe or the
food we eat eB,DIe Bar.

HABTTUAL IMPULSE.

Habitually enthusiastic people are never
so happy as when they are endeavoring to
save you from yourself. It is, however,
fortunate that the passion which informs
such persons, is one of peculiar instability
and caprice. Theirambition is to be doing.
no matter what, so that the blood be exer-
cised; and uniformed by principle, and
without any special object in their ministry,
they so divide their industry among the
many, as to render endurable the sufferings
of each A firm show of resistance soon
banishes the tormentor, who does not feel
any defeat or disappointment from Jack to
Jonathan.
