This picture by Shakespeare, whose
body has mouldered in the tomb
over two hundred years, has lost
none of its strong features by mod.
cru improvements in modern society.
Calumny is the same blighting siroc.
co, the same envenomed scorpion,
the same blnsting miasma, as it was
when his master hand delineated its
dark and fendish physiognomy. As
then, its pestiferous breath pollutes
with each respiration its forked
tongue is charged with the came
poison-it searches all corners of
the world for victims; it sacrifices
the high and the low. the rich and
the poor, the matron and maid. the
living and the dead, but cursed pro
pensity, delights most in destroying
worth and immolating Innocence.
Lacon has justly said: "Calumny
crosses oceans, scales mountains,
traverses deserts with greater ease
than the scythian Abaris, and like
him, rides upon q poisoned arrow"
AS the samiel wind of the Arabian
desert, not only produces death. but
causes the most rapid decomposition
of the body; so calumny effects fame,
honor. integrity, worth and virtue.
