wRuskin abates not a jot of his
sharp, biting, sarcastic style in his
new essays. This bit from one of
them is exceedingly pungeut: you
women of England are all now shrek
ing with one voice-you and your cler-
gymen togcther--because you hear Of
your Bibles being attacked. If you
choose to obey your Bibles, you will
never care who attacks them. 1t is
just because you never fulfil single,
downright precept of the book that
you are so careful of its credit, The
Bible tells you 10 dress plainly, and
you are mad for fnery; the Bible tells
you to have pity on the poor, and you
crush them under your carriage
wheels; the Bible tells you to do judg-
ment and justice, and you do not know
nor care to know SO much as what the
BibIe-word justice means" 3
