webs of T radition and the Div ine. Right of
King., and Paine wee the very genius of
beatniction., No human being was ever
more heartily inclined to, discreditesety
thing that his father had reverenced ; , hence
he *its the man for the slashing,vrork re
quired to inaugurate a Revolution. In
that capacity he did good service to inter
im'. to Liberty, to mankind. Nat. Vies
he a mere partmleter.-4 'mart peddler of
olap.trap—e coiner of rousing - sentences
for times of doubt and trial, when the
se
curity of Human Rights dependi on the
stormiest awakening of popular passion.
Let those who so regard him just under
take to reply to one of his earlier chapters
of the Rights of Man. When that book
becomes obsolete, it will be, because the
great truths it enunciates have ceased to
be disputed.
• Paine was an able effective, hearty Re
volutionist : but that was all. Great at
tearing down, be had no genius at all for
building up. Liberty in his eyes unbri
dled license, or as near to that as was con
sistent with personal safety. Probably
his severe imprisonment - and narrow es
cape from death at the hands of the French
Terrorism somewhat modified his practi
cal ideas on this head, yet speculatively
he died as he had lived, a puller-down and
a-Jacobin.
It is singular that his fortunes and his
fate differed so widely from his friend and
ally Jeffetion. Thomas Jefferson was
like him a chief promoter of the Amercan
Revolution with his pen ; like him, in ap
prehension of :he nature and extent of
Popular Rights was half a century in ad
vance of nearly all their cotemporaries ;
like him, was no less thoroughly an Infi
del thou a Democrat, hating the Christain
Faith with an intense an undisguised fero
city ; like him, was unscrupulous and
centious in his personal morals ; like him,
cherished an instinctive hatred of Wash
ington, even while professing to respect
and esteem him; and like him, was better
qualified to overturn a dynasty than to lay
broad and deep - the foundation of a Na
tion's prosperity. True, Paine was a
drunkard and personally offensive in his
habits, which Jefferson never was ; but on
the other hand Jefferson did not scruple
to live bountifully from the proceeds of the
unpaid labor of slaves, which was just as
inconsistent with his ideas of Human
Rights as with Paine's and which we do
not believe the latter would have done,
badly as the world has thought of him.—
Paine's natural abilities were scarcely in
ferior to Jefferson's, his - devotion to their
common principles equally ardent' and his
labors for them not less efficient. Yet
Jefferson was Secretary, Vice rreeident,
twice President, and then lived eighteen
years thereafter a popular idol and a guider
of the Nation's destinies, while Paine unit
gled oh in coMparative obscurity and gen
eral puverty,iiying unirchroted and unwept

In ' one
_of the darhp, - dark, and narrow
streets Of the bid "portion of the town of
Nice, resided an' tioneet and industribui
cobbler. He was i model of sobriety as
well as of tittering assiduity. He never
drank more than one bottle of wine 4 day,
except on felt days, and they, alas! in
those pious eountries,occur so frequently,
that, what between the games lost at rant
two, and two or three bottles extra, drank
in honor of , the day, at the end of each
mouth the poor cobbler fon ad the self=same,
ever-occurring diflculty, how to make up
the required sum due to his landlord.
Years rolled on—the colibler was grow 7
ing old, bnt his position was in no wise
a
meliorated. One morning, however, as
he sat down to his frugal meal, composed
of a penny worth of pickled anchovies,
floating in oil, a loaf of black bread, and
yin a discretion, his countenance seemed
lighted up by an unwonted expression of
happiness. Before commencing his.wurk,
he washed his face, and smoothed his
shaggy locks—a thing quite unusual. ex
cept on fete days, with an air of satisfac.
tion, as if he felt that a new era was open,
ing on him. His wife, (for he had a wife,
although I forgot to mention it,) who per

at him in amazement, and inquired what
was the matter 1 Was he out of his len

for , the amelioration of the condition of
superamtuated cobblers. Be that as it
may, his manner to his old companions
was kind and patronizing, but he was un
communicative. Perhaps he deemed their
intellects unable to comprehend the vast-
ness of his views I perhaps he feared by
premature disclosure, to detract from the
grand coup de theatre, when he should
stand before them a rich man, an intluen
tial patron of the whole Crispin genius.—
No subsequent disclosures have ever
thrown a light upon his lofty imaginings.
Monday at length arrived, and with it
the five lucky numbers which decide the
fate orhundreds of tickets. The cobbler
arose early ; he could not eat ; the simple
meal already disgusted him ; he perhaps
was thinking of the contrast which the re
past of the morrow would furnish ; he
drank, however, freely ; he was nervous
and restless. The hours as they tolled from
the old clock of st. Reparatre, seemed in
terminable. Ile could not ascertain his

fishing, finding a lodging at night perhaps in
