smoothly, those who knew that it was a
deceltiul current, and had the courage
to say so, could scarcely gain a hear
lngi they were pronounced to be
croakers, and were voted nuisance,
But now that the calamity has come.
and continues, everybody has gone t,
thinking more or less. Views are abun-
dant. Plans are multitudinous. Old theo-
RES are coming up to the surface, and new
ones formed and presented. Ali this is a
favorable token. 1t indicates that mental
activity is fully reused to take hold of these
vastly important but long topics.
