[ocr errors]

golden gates with this artistical gold unless you like, but you assuredly can't do anything else with it. You can't make knives of it nor armor nor railroads.

Mino de Fiesole, whose chisel leaves many a hard edge, and despises down and dimple but it seems to cut light and carve breath. The marble burns beneath it and becomes transparent with very spirit. It was reserved for Michael Ángelo to pierce deeper yet, and to see the indwelling angels. No man's soul is alone: Laocoon or Tobit, the serpent has it by the heart, or the angel by the hand. The light or the fear of the spiritual things that move beside it may be seen on the body; and that bodily form is invariably felt as the instrument, the habitation of some infinite invisible power." Beauties of Ruskin, 200.

107. ASCETICISM.-In the Convent of the Sacred Heart (Church of England), a lady had arrived at such a state of perfection in speechlessness, that she had not spoken for several years, except to the superior sister and in response to prayers. Also a painful narrative of a nun: Liv. Age, lxxiii, 90. "There is a certain condition of inert asceticism, in which the soul, muralized by torpor, a stranger to what might be called the business of life, perceives, with the exception of earthquakes and catastrophes, no human impression, neither pleasant impressions nor painful impressions-smell no odor-no bad odor, no good one."

Age, xxxiii, 158.-Its folly: Burke's fine figure: Newman's Rhetoric, 87. How to make an atheist: Liv. Age, iii, 231. These savans, geometers, physicians, arithmeticians, mathematicians, chemists, astronomers, measurers of distances, calculators of numbers, have early acquired the habit of believing only in the tangible. These are the beings who, so to speak, live and think in the dark; all, which is not palpable, does not exist for them. They measure the earth, and say, We have not met God in any league of its surface!' They heat the alembic, and say, 'We have not perceived God in the smoke of any of our experiments!' They dissect dead bodies, and say, 'We have not found God, or thought, in any bundle of muscles or nerves in our dissection!' They calculate columns of figures long as the firmament, and say,
