manner , is but old Catholic . He is the same enemy of liberty of opinion in others , out of the same love of particular ascendancy in himself ; which he proves by keeping down his own many , as well as
the few with whom he differs : for a Tory has no eye to the progress of the world , apart from his perpetual guidance of it , and the eternity of the same amount of poverty and labour in those who come toiling in his train . This , because it is the disposition of things at
present , and convenient to himself , lie arrogantly pronounces to be God ' s ordinance forever ; and " damns " us all , like Lord Peter in the tale , if we " offer to believe otherwise . " Such a thing as a
" millennium " he may believe as a part of his creed , and in church-time : for there is an awkward Christian announcement to that effect ; but the idea of anything like an approach to the most commonsense notion of it , in a little
better distribution of time and means , he scouts equally as an ignorant piece of belief in the capabilities of the human head and heart , and a special blasphemy against that power of his which he presumes to identify with God ' s desires , and the

Sweet Lady , should I tell thee that I love , Five joyous hearts , whose life is glad in mine , Were broken by that vow : but less divine I may not think thee than thy looks approve : For never did the Cyprian goddess move In more excelling beauty , self-create , Than thou , a maiden of earth ' s low estate ,
In thy meek majesty of quiet love . Nor deem this simple homage little worth , Because unto ideal virtues given ;—If in thy face—and be the sin forgiven—We trace the soul of some celestial birth , Marvel not , Lady ; for we know of heaven But by the faith we realise on earth . T . F . Tiuebner .
