We are dapper little busybodies, and run this way and that way superserviceably; but they swerve never from their fore-ordained paths, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor a bubble of air, nor a mote of dust. And as our handiworks borrow the elements, so all our social and political action leans on principles. To accomplish anything excellent, the will must work for catholic and universal ends.
They are the commonalty of language, private, proletarian words, who do the work, "dum alteri tulerunt honores." They come to us from all handiworks and callings, where you will always find them at their posts. Sharp, energetic, incisive, they do the hard labor of speech, that of carrying heavy loads of thought and shaping new ideas.
All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labour, namely, when, instead of one man doing everything, each confines himself to a certain kind of work distinct from others in the treatment it requires, so as to be able to perform it with greater facility and in the greatest perfection.

"I will trust you.
"No," replied Shanty, "I have none here fit for your turn." "I am not particular," returned the young man, "about the shoe being an old one; there is as much virtue, to my thinking, in a new one; so let me have that you are about." "You shall have none of my handiworks, I tell you," said Shanty, decidedly, "for none of your heathenish fancies and follies.
You, English democrats, or reformers, as you may call yourselves, admire the self-government and cheap government of the Transatlantic Model Republic. You do well. But now read some of their latest handiworks, without note or comment on my part.
