Dim shadows but unwaning presences,
iFour-faced to four corners OF the SKY;
And vet again, three shadows, fronting one,
One forward, one respectant, three but one;
And vet again, again and evermore,
For the two first were not, but only seemed

In the practical workings Of tho st.

in appointing and continuing agents
who would be in the pcnitcntiary if
they had their deserts, mcrcij- because
they arc active, though unscrupulous
workers, is cmphatically condemned
by its officers. No liberation is given
