Oh tyrant London, blear-eyed blunderer, coarse-thumbed handler of fine-spun destinies with whose right twining the very life of all that m...onstrous bulk is involved, learn before it is too late to lighten the touch of those ponderous fingers. Learn for your own sake that there are qualities not to be found in your ganglion of the national life, yet vital to the whole body, reserve, caution, slow-seasoned grain and fibre, an absence of " nerves ; " learn that the nursery-ground of country solitude and silence is an essential pre- paratory to your forcing-house.
