NEGATIVE GooDNEss.-Some people
seem to plume themselves upon the notion
that they never did any harm, though ev-
cry body can testify hat they never did
any good. So far as public evils can be
cured by letting them alone, 50 far they
are excellent reformers. An editor lately
closed a iattering obituary by b~oasiing that
the deceased never made an enemy during
his life, Another editor remarked that in
all probability lie never undertook to do
any good in the world, for no such person
ever failed in making enemies.
