Sensitiveness in Human Nature.

The higher mans intellectual gifts,
the more sensitive his nature. The child
of tenderest years is pleased when praised
and sad when scolded. If he has marked
gifts of mind, he is everywhere admired
and praised as they unfold and develop.
If, on the contrary, he be surly, backward
and commonplace in his traits of mind he
is frequently censured, scolded, and very
little praise or encouragement falls to his
share. Habit in this behalf as in other
things, becomes "secOnd nature" The
child accustomed to praise Graves it even
on his way to manhood. 1t has become
an ailment of his life. He will intention
ally do nothing to forfeit it. But the one
who has seldom received 1.-THE one
whose fate it was to be spoken harshly to
and seldom encOuraged-grows up indiff-
erent to it. He has heard himself censur-
ed more frequently than lauded and to
censure he is callOus. He is not offended
or provoked by it. He is almost totally
wanting in sensitiveness and people may
speak as they will without moving him
any more than if he were dumb brute
or block. His nature is coarse and he is
q commonplace man. He has not belied
the adverse promise which his youth gave
But the sensitive man, the man of refined
nature, the man who recognized SUPERIOR
ty and marked powers always commanded
respect and praise, is wounded and lacera-
ted in every center Of feeling by criticism
and censuFe. His sense of pride may
revolt against visible manifestations of his
feeling; he may seek to disguise how
thoroughly stricken he is, but neverthe-
less he is wounded to the quick. In such
man the promise of youth is also COM
monty realized, and it is in him, circum-
stances faYOring, to rise to the stature of
grandest manhood. Of this class is every
man that worthily attains to genuine
greatness, for every such man is sensitive.
as sensitive almost as a woman.
Those destitute of sensitiveness have
much of the porcine element in their
nature, and they are capable of falling to
any level without suffering greatly from
wounded pride. Guiteau, the assassin, is
a representative of this class, and briei
