Ix.-WITS AND HUMCRISTS
OF ENGLISH LITERATURE,

by common consent we use the terms
wit and humor conjointly, as we use
the terms beauty and sublmity, light
and heat, and yet the difference in their
respective meanings is an important
one. Sydney Smith. himself q fine ex-
ample of an English humorist, indicates
such difference when he says: The
character of a mere wit it is impossi-
bic to consider as very safe" BY this
he means that the wit has little, if any,
regard to the feelings of others; never
stops to count the cost of his words; is
devoid of that kindly pleasantly"
which should always characterize the
writer and speaker. Hence the higher
quality of humor. the best humor," &C

1T is the product" says Carlyle. "of a
warm, tender. fellowfeeling with all
forms OF existence" although with Car
lyle, the serious minded sage OF Chelsea,
such conception of it was confined to
the region of theory. When our Amer
lean critic. Whipple. tells us that "wit
laughs at things. humor with them"
we get the clew to their essential differ
ence, the one being unsympathetic and
the other genial, warm hearted and
cordial. Hence it is that wit often de-

offence consists in having said at

Boston,:
1--WE should as coon have thought,
three years ago. of asking the Saviour
OF mankind TO come down from the
Mount and take service under no
man centurion or go into the employ
of Tiberlus in order not to be Isolated,
MS to have asked the American people
to descend from its lofty height to en-
gage in the quarrels of Europe or the
scuflIes for empire in Asia
The n. Y. Sun char-cterizee this as
"desecration" "irrevorence," &c. Yet
how can that be? Mr.. Iloar, man OF
the highest character and ability. a
learned man and a dialectition, quite
the equal OF any OF his detractors.
wished TO express in the stronges,
terms the onormity Of the descent o.
the American people from their lofty
height TO engage in the European
scuiiies for empire in Asia, sought the
highest comparison lie could tind, and
found it in Christ on the Mount. In

Him with irreverence, Senator iloar,
presents Chris. on the Mount as the
highest and hottest figure OF speech and
comparison he can discover in all his
tory. No literal comparison is made or
intended, or can he foistcd on the par
agra ph--that being Impossible from the
differences of the compared subjects,
which arc not Christ and the Ameri-
can people, but an imaginary PROPOSE
ton (frcm the Devil or some other
Iiannaitc) to Christ to descend 10
low or mean employment and an actual
descent of the American people. Does
the Sun really think it rreverant 10
speak of the Devils temptations OF
Christ in comparison with the tempta-
tons of man? The Bible is full of such

word,
which in the Democrats fiat bias
phemy."
But as foul calumny pursued the Son
Of God with this vile aspersion. who
shall escape it2
