THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

Some murmur when their sky is clear
 And wholly bright to view,
 If one small speck of dark appear

 The unkind and the unfaithful have no emotions of joy present, no rightful or righteous hopes of joy in the chain of afterwhiles that link a dull today to the glory that is supernal.

Knaves are truthful to their knavery; fools to folly; the selfish to their baser selves; the oppressor to his spirit of oppression; the scandalmonger and the slanderer to the devils and hells of baseness. depravity. and grave-rob- bery of morals. The base are welded to baseness, the depraved to depravity, and inevitably comes the time when they shall proclaim their own sin, exploit their --.-....--.-. my life," said Hon.
