The publication Good Words, says it is a
curious reflection to make, but probably q
just one, that scandal flourishes all the
more because scandal-mongers receive no
gain from their proceedings. Many other
crimes are attended by personal gain and
what is gained often furnishes the means
of detection and punishment. If, by a
merciful provision of nature, it was ar.
ranged that a portion of the character
taken away by scandal should attach itself
to those who invent or propagate the
scandal, the world, like the birds in the ia
BILE, would be very ready to fly upon the
scandal mongers and deprive those davis
of the plumes thus gained. But In the
present state of affairs, these lovers and
propagators of scandal do not gain the
smallest shred of honor or reputation by
ther scandal-mongering, and consequently
they feel much less shame and meet with
much less reproof, as their evil sayings are
attended by no personal advantage. 1t is
only very nice and sensi tive consciences
that enable their owners to suffer remorse
when they have heedlessly invented or
furthered scandal.
