"Because thou must not dream, thoI
needst not thea despair!''

The analysis of evil in Greek
mythology bears an important rela-
tion to the science of ethics. Itsup-
plies substantial proof 10 the mod
ern argument that morality par Sc
is a growth apart from religion,
though the two have often seemed
identical. In. Greece it may be said
that morality grew In spite of relig-
ion. The vilest actions and lowest
passions were attributed to the gods
and when we remember the pecu-
liar rites held in honor of Hermes,
Dionysus, or Aphrodite, we must
confess that, while art would have
lost immeasurably had the. early
myths been forgotten, morality
might have gained thereby. If the
conception of divinity was purified,
and the sense Of right and wrong
made more definite, it was not
owing to priest, ritual or dogma, but
because of philosophers, poets and
artists. 1t was no learned Brahmin
or Angelic Doctor who declared
Zeus TO be the creator of heaven and
earth, the god of justice, the omni-
potent, the lord of all. These were
the words Of -HSchylus, of Pindar.
of Therpander; and Phidias was the
divinely inspired, who. by his chisel.
taught the people that the qualities
which are truly godlike are
strength wisdom, and benevolence.
The fact that it is impossible to
draw a distinct line of separation
between the good and evil powers
in their mythology gives us the
key to Greek culture. Their re-
ligion was never more than a
collection of traditions. Mvstics
introduced strange doctrines from
Asia and Egypt; endeavoring to
turn mems thoughts to the fnture
life, and philosophers threw doubts
upon the truth Of old myths and
beliefs. But the number of the
initiated was never very large. and
schools of philosophy were formed
only to give way TO new ones. The
popular religion, however. still lived
on; it was dear to the people. he
cause its legends of gods and god
desses were inextricably blended
with the early history Of Hellas.

tain, we shall find that very few trop>
ical countries can enter, successfully,
upon the cultivation, and of these
possibly only two or three will pos
sess in so eminent degree all the
favorable conditions enjoyed by Ja>
maica. What is absolutely necessary
is to select suitable sites where the
plants will enjoy the requisite c!i-
mate, shelter and soil; to cultivate
only the more valuable and quicks
growing species, and to establish
plantations on systematic and scien~
tific principles whereby the utmost
value is obtained for the outlay and
the conditions of growth carefully
studied.
At the close OF the year 1879, al
though the systematic cultivation of
Cinchona had been carried on at the
Government Plantations for more
than eleven years, the number Of
specimens grown by private enters
prise, in the whole Island, would
probably not exceed nine hundred
or thousand plants. OF these, about
$50 plants, chiefly of the Red bark,
C.Succiaet6r0, were under cultivation
by Mr.. Swaby, among coffee trees,
at an elevation Of 2,700 feet, in the
parish of Manchester; and from trees
at this elevation good marketable
bark has been produced.
The demands OF the market for the
best bark are SO extensive that for
many years to come the quantity
likely to be sent from Jamaica will
be very small compared wirh the ex.
tensive shipments from South Amer
lea and the East Indies; but if chief
attention is devoted to the kinds
which are rich in quinine and of
quick growth, Cinchona cultivation
in Jamaica, as already proved by the
quality OF the produce, cannot fail to
be remuneratiye industry.
The object Of the Government in

tions for SO many years, was, I app
prehend, not of d pecuniary charac-
ter-merely for the return they were
likely to yleld--but in order to prove
that Cinchona bark OF good quality
could be successfully grown In the
Island. In addition 10 this, the Plan
tations had an Important work in the
successful introduction and cultiva-
ton Of new or licher kinds; and, in

the owners. several seedlings in nur>
series on Hibernia, Whitfield Hall,
Farm Hill and other estates for ex-
perimental purposes. When the Lat
inner plantation was finally opened in
1868, most of these seedlings were
removed-a few only, of tie smaller
and weaker plants being left behind.
The patch planted at Whitfield
Hall, occupied a small area at an ele'
ovation of 1890 feet, surrounded by
forest, about two miles from Whit>
field Hall Great House. After the
removal of the plants, in the course
OF time the road to the nursery be-
came overgrown, and the locality
and it's associations had apparently
passed out OF notice.
While in the neighborhood last
year, meeting with man who had
assisted in removing the plants from
Whitfield Hall to Latimer in 1868,
and hearing that few Clnchonas
were still lett, l was led to visit the
spot in order to examine the trees
and their condition after the lapse OF
so many years.
1t was evident that, since 1868
nothing whatever had been done to
the spot. The road was quite overs
grown and the surrounding forest
was thick and almost impcnetrable.
The condition of the Cinchona trees,
occupying an area of about 120
square yards, was, however, very re-
markable. BY carefully counting
them, found that there were $40
trees on this small area, some Of
which were only 8 inches apart. Most
of the trees consisted of the Crown
bark, &c. Of5ciaaliS;) they were about
20 feet high, with tall clean stems,
the largest measuring Is inches in
circumference at the base, and the
smallest s inches. Being the remains
of nursery, it was naturally expect.
ed that some of the trees would be
very close and others considerably
isolated. They appear, however, to
have grown up and completely shaded
the ground; tor underneath, the soil
was clear OF weeds, and covered with
a thick covering of fallen leaves.
The condition of the trees and the
locality in which they were found
showed clearly that Cinchona trees
thrive best when they are planted
closely together, and when the ground
is well shaded and kept cool and
moist Moreover, these trees indi.
Gated that when Cinchona Planta.

tations was uprooted and barked on
the eth of April last. 1t yielded 40
pounds of trunk bark, 5 pounds of
twig bark, and 9 pounds of root bark,
equal in all to 81 pounds OF green
bark. This when thoroughly dried
was reduced to q total of 16 pounds.
AT the average price obtained tor
this kind-the hybrid yariety-viz !:
6s. I'D. per pound, the produce OF
this one tree was worth "a 18s. i'd.
1t may be added that this tree was
growing in a sheltered situation in
good soil, and was nearly II years
old. 1t measured 40 feet in height,
and circumference at the base about
30 inches.
In reviewing the results of the
sales of some $4,000 pounds OF Gins
chona bark which was obtained from
trees blown down by the hurricane
Of August. 1879, 1 remarked in a
communication addressed to the Lo-
cal Government as follows:
- Compared with the average prices
realized tor the shipments OF last
year, the Crown bark, c. Of5ciadJaS,
has obtained an average OF IS, Cd.
per pound on all qualities, as against
6s. 10. on the consignmenls OF last
year. If the general tall in the mar
ket is, however; taken into consider
alton, it will be noticed that the rel>
alive prices obtained have been fully
equal to those of last year. Again,
with the Red bark, G. Succiru6rG,
the same position is maintained; the
average price obtained for the press
ent consignment being 3s. I'D. as
against IS, 114d. Tor former conslgn-
ments.
The average price on the whole
consignment is more favorable, glv>

shops and business Offices are closed early on
Sunday mornings many are not opened at ALL

therefore, that while we are initiating our
