...vista is opened into a vast field rich in a harvest of new words never reaped. It as certain members of the New York writing fraternity profess to believe, that mysterious future, the genius of the English language is really dead, who has the uncontested right to nominate himself its successor? The position is open to all comers. An era of independence is dawning every man for himself...

How different this woman's prayer was from that which she made in the second scene! What a rich increase of fervor and devotion in this offering now! All the littleness, all the puniness of man, is compassed in this one heartrending appeal to save a Son--an appeal not granted. The dramatic rise from the Toy scene to Man's curse, uttered on the death...
