mouths without food to put into them ; ' not one of these , reader , nor of many others to whom crotchets supply the place of reasoning and thinking ; but are you a philosophic Radical , diving into the depths of all things to search into their hidden causes , with a view of promoting human happiness after the fashion of the
philosophy called Utilitarian ? Are you a Radical reformer of evil in all things , loving beauty as much as you hate oppression ? If your answer be in the affirmative , then will you desire that I should be successful in the task I have undertaken of rescuing the noble Coriolanus from the Tory thraldom under which he has so long laboured .

The fourth scene opens and discovers the Roman army before Corioli . The dialogue vividly paints the eager feelings of the warriors . The incident of the wager of the horse is . admirable . When Marcius has lost him he wishes to buy him back , but Titus Lartius replies , * No , 1 * 11 nor sell nor give him : lend you him , I will , For half a hundred years . '
Which was saying , in other words , ' It glads my very soul that I have it in my power to link so glorious a being as you are to mo , b y a constant tie of kindness . fC Lend him you I will for half a hundred years , " and then I shall feel that Marcius loves me by constantly bestriding a horse of mine .

Precisel y such is the case in the disputes between the government of the United States and the Red Men
at the present day . The Red Men commit outrages , a war arises , and they are vanquished as a matter of course . They are then dealt with as a vanquished enemy , viz . they are deprived ol the means of mischief . Some senators appear on the ramparts of the town , and Marcius asks if the principal object of his emulous daring , Aufidins , is amongst them . Sounds of combat are then heard , and one oi the senators , pointing to a distance , replies ,
* There is Aufidins ; list , vvluit work he makes Amongst your cloven arinv .
