Show TYNDAI.L AND GLADSTONE. Professor Tyndnll, as a scientific man and a maker of books was, in the prime of his life one of tho most interesting writers of the day. Bending under tho burden of years, his high toryism takes on a vindictivo tinge, which, directed toward his old friend Ciladstono, finds vent in words as untrue, in fact as they aro false in application. WJien a young and untrained writer disgraces himself and hurts whatever causo he may advocate, by harsh and intemperate language, tho public have charity for him as an impulsive lender-foot lender-foot in life's thorny way. Youth, lack of learning and of charity, accounts for and excuses his want of tact it may be of principle But when a man like Tyndall proves that he is verging into second childhood by following in the footsteps of the old Bourbons, who "forgot nothing and learned nothing," ami claims that Gladstone Glad-stone is a traitor to truth and to his country, charity hasn't a mantle broad enough to cover tho multitude of his sins. |
