difficult for any ordinary American
citizen to guess what is referred to in
this sentence, which occurs in an edi.
torial article recently published in the
London Standard, the principal organ
of the Conservative and Unionist par.

EyII, COMPANIONS,

Society Is the atmosphere of souls and we
necessarily imbibe from it something which
Is either infectious or saubrious. The society
of virtuous persons is enjoyed beyond their
company while vice carries sting into soli-
tude. The society or company you keep, is
both the indication of your character and the
former of it. In company when the pores OF
the mind are opened, there requires more
caution than usual because tho mind is pas
sive Either vicious company will please
you or it will be defeated. In such
society you may feel your reverence for
the dictates of conscience wear
off, and that name at which angels bow and
devils tremble. you will hear condemned and
abused. The Bible will supply materials fol-
unmeaning jests or impious buffoonery the
consequence Of this will be a practical devi'
alton from virtue, the principles will become
sapped. the fences OF conscience broken
down; and when debauehery has corrupted
the character, Il total inversion will take
place, while they glory in their shame.
