Un the other hand, he would not assent to the reform measures towards demo. cracy, though he was insulted by the mob in the streets, and the windows of Aptiey House were broken.

But he was a tory with life in him; not bigh and dry, and soulless. but a tory with a heart, sympathetic with the people tive filend of both’ the people and the crown. Thus it came to pass that Wellington was at once the destroyer both of revolutionary violence and of stagnant conscrvatiem. Into tho empty pride ot mere caste of aristocracy, he infused love and the sence of re- sponsibility. He taught the nobles of the realm, yea the throne iteeif, that they ought to live not unto theing+lves, but unto the commonwealth and unto God He way a succesful evangelist of the new order of seciety—a cessful apologist of the old.
