Kingsley must shriek, "Windrush!" "Intellectual Epicurism!" and disturb

attempt to lay hold of the earth with one hand and heaven with the
other. But that is the peculiar feat for which the American is
born,--to bring together seeing and doing, principle and practice,
eternity and to-day. The American is given, they say, to extremes.
True, but to _both_ extremes; he belongs to the two antipodes. To the
one he appertains by intellectual emancipation and penetrative power;
to the other by his pungent element of sympathy with persons. Speaking
of the older Northern States, and of the people as a whole, we affirm
that their inhabitants are more speculative _and_ more practical, the
scholars know more of immediate common interests and speak more the
dialect of the people, while the mechanics know more of speculative
truth and understand better the necessary vocabulary of thought, than
any other people.

Lyell says, that the New World is really the Old World,--that there,
preeminently, the antique geological formations are found, and nearer
the surface than elsewhere. Thus the physical peculiarity of our
continent is, that here an elaborate and highly finished surface is
immediately superimposed upon the oldest rock, rock wrought in fire and
kneaded with earthquake knuckles. We discover in this a symbol of the
American Man. He likewise brings into near association the most ancient

eternal truths, the meditations that rapt away the early seers into
trance and dream; but he brings these into sharp contact with life,
associates them with the newest work, the toil and interests of this
year and day.

We shall find space to mention but one peril which besets the New Man.
It is danger of physical exhaustion. Dr. Kane, the hero of two Arctic
nights, came forth to the day only to die. That which makes the
preeminence of our organization makes also its peril. Denmark is said
to be impoverished by the disproportion of the learned to the
industrial class; production is insufficient, and too much of a good

sweetness with such pure devotion and delight that vigorous Mr. 
 Kingsley must shriek, " Windrush! " " Intellectual Epicurism! " and disturb 
 himself in a slightly amuse manner. Pollok declaimed against the 
 attempt to lay appreciation of the earth with one hand and heaven with the 
 early. But that is the peculiar feat for which the American is 
 born,--to bring together see and doing, principle and exercise, 
 eternity and to - day. The American is given, they pronounce, to extreme. 
 True, but to _ both _ extremes; he belongs to the two antipodes. To the 
 one he appertains by intellectual emancipation and acute power; 
 to the other by his pungent component of sympathy with persons. Speaking 
 of the erstwhile Northern States, and of the multitude as a whole, we affirm 
 that their inhabitant are more speculative _ and _ more practical, the
