existence except In Imagination aWAk'
entd by these incorrect and overdraWn
reports, end then only through deduc.
tons Of an extreme and unTeAsoning
character. The whole thing will sim
mer down after a while, when tho
folly Of those VINO have been shouting
to ward on appaTlllons OF their owl
creation will be made manifest.
Some people have become no welded

MoImons that they cannot 10y IL aside
except for little while at lime, and
these are making most OF tho present
opportunity to revol In the mire. w,

thing better, II they would heed; bu, d
they will persist In following the basel
course, they must abide the conse

aud eonlortions for which thore Ia ne
