Workers and Talkers.

Mr Fboude says — and as lie is making a general assertion not in detnction of any place or person in particular, his words will be taken in like a sermon oh the vices of the a*e— -''There are two classes of men who have played, and still play, a prominent part in the world — who accomplish great things 1 , and those who talk and make speeches about them. The doers of great things are for the most part silent, Those who build op empires of .discover serretsofsciencey'those who painty great pictures or write great poems, are; not often to he found spouting upon plat-j forms. The silent men do the work. The talkingmen cry out at what is done] because it is not done as they would have had it, and afterwards take 'pos ] session of it as if it was. V: Even in politics the name of oratorical statesmen; are rarely associated with the organic growth of enduring- institutions. The, most distinguished of them jiay,e M been' conspicuous only as instruments' of, destruction." " Oratory" he says -i' is ;,the l spendthrift sister of the art, whicK decks itself like a strumpet with, tjie.tags, tuul ornaments which it steals .from'-i real;? superiority. The object' of it is. not' truth; but anything which ife-can make- aripeaVj truth janything which it ' can "persuade: ■people to believe by calling:'oii'their.passions to obscure theii intelligence." ,
