century that cry has gone np, mobbing high 

 heaven ; and always insanity in the cry, insan- 

 ity in the crier. What folly to protest where 

 none shall hear ^ There is no appeal from the 

 law of nature. It was made for beast and bird 

 and creeping thing. Will the human never learn 

 that in the eye of the law he is not different 

 from the things that creep ?
