contemplate this justice, even if we do
not often see it in society. IL is true
that hypocrisy and vulgar self-seeking
often succeed in life, occupy high places,
and make their exit in the pageantry of
honored obsequies. Yet always the man
is conscious of the hollowness of his
triumph, and the world takes pretty
accurate measure of IT, 1t is the priyi-
