Does their taciturnity arise from the ditfidenco which fears lest words should exceed deeds, or from a eon- victioil that safet -vis promoted hv lenee? 'Washington's reserve made him stiff, formal and ill at ease in company, hut it also prevented his Iilans from being betrayed to an enemy, nnd the country from being deceived by his promises. William the Silent was frugal of words, because a reserve that concealed his designs, even from thosencting with him, was necessary to the independence of the Netherlands. A writer in leisure Hour says that the most dramatic of silent men was Wallenstein, the antagonist of (iustavus Adolphus, and the commander of the emperor's armiesinthe Thirty YearsWar.
