LOV/ELL. 



Called the Most Human Man In the An- 

 tislavery Struggle. 



The world, says Woodrow Wilson in 

 The Atlantic, is apt to esteem that man 

 most human who has his qualities in a 

 certain exaggeration, whose courage is 

 passionate, whose generosity is without 

 deliberation, whose just action is with- 

 out premeditation, whose spirit runs 

 toward its favorite objects with an in- 

 fectious and reckless ardor, whose wis- 

 dom is no child of slow prudence. We 

 love Achilles more than Diomedes, and 

 Ulysses not at all. But these are stand- 

 ards left over from a ruder state of so- 

 ciety. We should have passed by this 

 time the Homeric stage of mind — should 

 aave heroes suited to our age. Nay we 

 have erected different standards and do 



make a different choice when we see 

 in any man fulfillment of our real 

 ideals. 



Let a modern instance serve as test. 

 Could any man hesitate to say that 

 Abraham Lincoln was more human 

 than William Lloyd Garrison? Does not 

 every one know that it was the practi- 

 cal Free Soilers who made emancipation 

 possible, and not the hot, impracticable 

 abolitionists; that the country was in- 

 finitely more moved by Lincolo's tem- 

 perate sagacity than by any man's en- 

 thusiasm, instinctively trusted the man 

 who saw the whole situation and kept 

 his balance, and instinctively held off 

 from those who refused to see more than 

 one thing? 



We know how serviceable the intense 

 and headlong agitator was in bringing 

 to their feet men fit for action, but we 

 feel uneasy Mobile he lives and vouch- 

 safe him our full sympathy only when 

 he is dead. We know that the genial 

 forces of nature which work daily, 

 equably and without violence are in- 

 finitely more serviceable, infinitely 

 more admirable, than the rude violence 

 of the storm, however necessary or ex- 

 cellent the purification it may have 

 wrought. Should we seek to name the 

 most human man among those who led 

 the nation to its struggle with slavery, 

 and yet was no statesman, we should 

 of course name Lowell. We know that 

 his humor went further than any man's 

 passion toward setting tolerant men 

 a-tingle with the new impulses of the 

 day. We naturally hold back from 

 those who are intemperate and can 

 never stop to smile and are deeply re- 

 assured to see a twinkle in a reformer's 

 eye. We are glad to see earnest men 

 laugh. It breaks the strain. 



CHEERED THE CENSOR. 



How a Gallant Irish Regiment Took an 

 After Battle Scolding. 



The leading regiment of our column 

 was the Fifty-third, commanded that 

 day by Major Payn, afterward General 

 Sir William Payn, K. C. B., a very 

 fine regiment, who, being mostly Irish- 

 men, were eager to meet their enemy. 

 Meanwhile I received orders to cross 

 the river by a ford and get round the 

 enemy's right flank, and had gone for 

 this purpose, and was crossing about a
