Alas! what rolel what an ambition
The moral results have been exceedingly
ruinous. Women who seek solely for
diversion are not likely anywhere to do
their duty to their children, and whether
they be English, French, or American,
their neglect of home duties is probably
everywhere the same. Worldliness, fri
volity, vanity, the lust of the eyes, are
morally sure to destroy the hig cher OBJ
jects of society. They have resulted in
the destruction of family life among the
French people. Indoor love has been
abandoned for outside vanities Family
joys and connubial integrity scarcely ex-
ist anywhere, and that which shocks ones
sensibiGties the most, is the fact that such
things are admitted by the French them
selves with frankness unexampled
Other people cover themselves with hy-
pocrisy, but the nation de trop de q,a-
roles does not seem to care what its
neighbors think. What a commentary

allied thereby as not to qoish eve,a to yell

these at some critical time in the procedure.

demanded.' 1T is notorious that the charges
are altogether out OF proportion to the time
given, the Work done, Or the consideration
received, and all kinds Of veXatiou5 obstacles
are thrown In the way Of any who seek to
erect reform IN this respect The fact Is, that
the ranks OF the legal profession are over
crow ded. and are being added to year by year
to an extent which the public interests by nc
means require. Yet the exciusIveness that

minds Of the past. A witch was all that was
abominable, and to be held 10 the strongest
loath1ng; yet few had the wisdom or the

as he passed sentence upon the condemned
woman, trembled lest her fell gaze should

their way to avoid her haunJs never for one
moment believed that the object OF their fear
was powerless to work them evil, and was

hell. and until death claimed her, her power
to erect evil. it was alleged, was unlimited.
