Hut perhaps in this case tho very assasin, by reason of the malignant motives which him, was the greater sufferer and the more miserable man. Him we do not pity. Of these two, which is it ? The pitied, or the unpitiable? If we search among the characters of tragedy for one so depraved as to be beyond the reach of sympathy, wo light upon lagn, demon of heartless wickedness. He is an unnatural character, but does for our purpose. So repugnant is ho to our feelings that we are glad when with demoniac laughter he has vanished into the darkness, w herein he was begotten.

Upon the other hand, although it is said by some philosophers (and is finely shadowed in the tragedy of tho Cenei) that man cannot be dishonored by the act of another against him, it is true beyond doubt that there may be misery without dishonor: and, indeed, I am half inclined to think that the bitterness of spirit experienced by that being who feels that his worst hurts were got not at his own hand, but at the hand of Fate by the sins of his fathers, by the ghastly irony of Life, by the random blows of utter ebanee may well question with any other tho right to wear the cypress , crown. The character of John Randolph is presented to us. A man who was a living riddle. Seething hell locked up in Ins breast a half hate, and wrath, and scorn, whien nevertheless rested themselves upon very reasons. John Randolph is dead. Maria Ward, the woman whom he loved (and who loved him although she married another), and who doubtless shared with him his secret, is also dead. No one knows the full history of the trouble which they alone understood. Hut we know enough to pity, and to call most miserable, the man who rushed away from her one day with a mans tears in his eyes, too proud to die, too sick at heart to live; who dragged out his life with an agony at his heart which he did not put there and which ho could not reach. Here are two types of human woe. Tne one unpitiable; the other, pitiful. Nor can I iu my own mind drop any factor from the one without canceling as much in the other. It is a matter of joy for my disconsolate friend to reflect that Gods unseen balances hang iu eternal equation. For the one they show the equipoise of joy and sorrow, suffering and gain, here and hereafter. To tho other, the they present iu counter-balanc- e great sun of an infinite Mercy.
