And in the meantime, while your men of 

 science are thus vacillating, in the definition 

 of the species of the only animal they have the 

 opportunity of studying inside and out, between 

 one and sixty-three ; and disputing about 

 the origin, in past ages, of what they cannot 

 define in the present ones; and deciphering 

 the filthy heraldries which record the relation 

 of humanity to the ascidian and the crocodile, 

 you have ceased utterly to distinguish between 

 the two species of man, evermore separate by 

 infinite separation : of whom the one, capable 

 of loyalty and of love, can at least conceive 

 spiritual natures which have no taint from 

 their own, and leave behind them, diff'used 

 among thousands on earth, the happiness they 

 never hoped, for themselves, in the skies ; and 

 the other, capable only of avarice, hatred, and 

 shame, who in their lives are the companions 

 of the swine, and leave in death nothing but 

 food for the worm and the vulture.
