substantial claim to being a national

EMOTIONS VERY MUCH AKIN
Both Laughter and Weeping Sudden
Motions With Which Custom 10
Bound TO Do Away.

Sudden glory is the passion which
naketh those grimaces called laugh
ter; and Is caused either by some sud
den act of their own that pleaseth
them, or by the apprehension of some
deformed thing In another by comparl-
son whereof they suddenly applaud
themselves. And 1t is incident most
to them that are conscious of the few
est abilities In themselves; who are
forced to keep themselves in their
own favor by observing the imperfec-
tlons Of other men. And therefore
much laughter. at the defects Of others
is a sign OF pusillanlmlty. For Of
great minds one OF the proper works
is TO help and free others from scorn
and compare themselves only with the
most able.
On the contrary, sudden detection Is
the passion that causeth weeping, and
is caused by such accidents as sudden
ly take away some vehement hope or
some prop OF their power; and they
are most subject to It that rely prln'
cipally on helps external, such as are
women and children. Therefore some
weep for the loss OF friends, others for
their unkindness, others for the sudden
stop made to their thoughts of revenge
by reconciliation. But in all cases, both
laughter and weeping are sudden mo-
tIons, custom taking them both away.
For no man laughs at old jests or
weeps for an old calamity.-Hoboes'
