A STRAY SHOT
Tho distant sound of firing disturbed
her. a the lay back in the hig arm-cbair
before tiro fire, A slender, pretty creature,
xrith a pale and exquisitely clear com
plexion and large patuetio eyes. More
patheiio tban usual just now, because of
tne grief that haa lain bo LeaTily npvn ber
for eix months. Her father's death bad
made ber mistress of the old place, but it
was a situation dearly purchased.
There had been a ebootinir party some
rhere in tbe neighborhood to-day, and per
haDs they had beaten the corerta of Idders
ley. Lord Ilxton was the organizer of tho
party, and there were some new men at the
Manor, that pretty rid castle down below,
Dar the sea. She had beard the owner of
it had returned, but it concerned her so
little. She had indeed seen scarcely any
one, and been nowhere, since the belored
father's death.
Iddersley was very close to Brunebill,
wfcere she. Isobel Brune, was mistress.
Had there been much sport, she wondered,
standing there in the dying twilight and
gazing out at tbe fast-darkening land out
side. Good heavens! what had happened!
What was tbat procession crossing the
lower lawn! She threw np tbe window,
and careless of the cruel winter wind that
blew in upon her. leaned out.
One two three four men, and in their
midst what? Somsthmg lying down,
something motionless. Ah!
She drew a long breath and hastily closed
the window. Tber were coming here, those
men, and with them their silent burden.
Was was it dead! There had been an ac
cident, of course, but to bring a dead man
here! She shivered as she stood in the raid
die of the room, but recalled herself Xo a
mor healthful state of thought in a. mo
ment. After all, the dead were less trouble
some than the living, and of course hers
was the nearest house.
Already the tranin, tramp of feet on the
f ravel outside could be heard; the ahastly
urden was comiug nearer. Miss brune
rang the bell sharply, and instantly, al
most as though she had been expecting the
summons, an old woman entered the room.
There has been an accident!"
Ah, yes, my dear. And a bad one at
that. They're comin now, and the poor
body along oMhem. Mis Isobel, darling,
jist yon bide here an we'll see to every
thing. To-morrow, I suppose, they'll send
for the clay, and until then he can lie in
the chapeL I expect, miss dear, he do be
long to gnesU o' castle folk."
"Ob, nurse, t!aey they have brought
him into the hall. Don't yoa hear!" said
her young mistress, with a little quick
movement that brought her nearer to the
old woman. The bntler opening the door
nervously, looked in.
'lfyou please, ma'am," began he, and
then stopped short,
"Yes, I know, Truby," said Miss Brune,
trerauionsly. "He is dead, poor man, and
tber have brought him here. You must
find out his people they must be told. His
relatives will be so grieved."
"Weil, I says as 'ow it will be murder,"
said tbe bntler. slowly, at which the nnrso
J;ave way to a little scream and Miss Brune
ooked up. '
"Murder! It was a shooting accident,
was it not!" demanded she. anxiously.
"So far, M' yes. But the murder will
lie wi' the chapeL 'Tis freezing there o a
night." .
"Bnt to a dead man, Trnbyl Surely the
cold cannot attect him."
An' so 'twould be, miss, were he given
o'er to the worms, but as 'tis "
"Do you mean that be is alive!" asked
Miss Brune, starting into a more upright
attitude. "Alive! And the doctor has no
one sent for bimfV
"I think, miffs, as Tom went for him. And
now.where shall he be pat?"
"In th western chamber," said Isobel.
"It is the warmest the best. Oh, why
wasn't I told at onco that be was livinirT
Nurse, look to blankets and sheets, will
yon, whilst I go and see this poor man."
- "hat, my dear, consider!" said the old
woman, following her. "You are alone
and such a young lady if people hear of it
if your uncle "
"MisfortunH has made him my guest,"
said Isobel, a little huughtily. T shall cer
tainly see to his welfare whilst ho is in my
honso. Come with me, nurso; he will want
your help, I dare say."
They bad laid the wounded man in the
hall upon hi roughly-improvised utretcher.
It was a very handsome faco on which she
gazed. In all her happy twenty years it
had never chanced to her to see a man so
good-to look at. It was a strong fuce yet
kind, ana now in its unconsciousness was
bfautifaL
Kven as she stood bending over him. with
a stritoge odd feeling at her heart, he moved;
bis. lips parted, and quite suddenly he
3Emed bis eyes. and. looking up. saw her.
Calm as she always was, seeing tbe seem
ingly dead man staring at ber. her courage
failed and a little trembling seized her.
"Oh, you are alive!" she said quickly, yet
in a nervous whisper.
"Yes; 1 think so." He smiled and paused
as if speech of any continnity was impossi
ble to him. "Where am If
Tn my honse," replied she, softly. "Do
not talk do not think we shall take care
of you."
T shall give yon trouble," returned he,
and would perhaps have said more, but
that at this point he fainted.
Wnen the doctor came (an old man who
had brought to life oue-hnlf of the parish
and buried tbe other) he g&veit thoroughly
to bi understood that tbe wounded man
could not be moved for at least a week or
so.
"Nothing fatal; nothing even very serious
bo long as proper care is taken of him; but
a move now might bring on hemorrhage,
and that wonld be fatal, if yon like. Very
awkward for you, my dear child'' he had
brought Isobel into the world, and had
been a kind friend to the young heiress all
her life "very awkward, indeed, bnt you
can send over for your nncle in the morn
ing, you know, and r I'll stay here with
yon lo-niirht if you wish it, though"
"I don't think there is any need for
that," said Isobel, quickly. Honestly, she
was feeling very nervous the man might
die but it the doctor saw no reason for re
maining beyond a regard for her nerves,
why should she deprive him of the good
night's rest he had so hardly earned! You
are quite near; I can send for you. if neces
sary." said she, "and in the meantime you
can tell Morgan what is to be dune."
"I suppose, by the way, yoa know who
your patient is!"
Yours, aot inine," said she. "But who.
theu!"
"Why, Mr. Graeme the possessor of that
nice old place below you. Yon heard. I
dare say, that be retnrned from bin wander
ings l&st week? It appears be was shooting
with Lord Hexton's party this afternoon,
and got separated from them, and getting
over a fence his gun went off and shot him
in tbe shoulder. A nasty thing, but not
dangerous."
"lint his friends!"
I told you he had wandered away from
them. .bven now, probably, they are
thinking of nothing beyond the fact that
be missed them and went home. Well,
gooc-niiibt. What a sky did jua notice
it! I expect we shall have a change before
morning of some sort snow, perhaps."
II.
The old doctor was right. Snch a storm
of snow fell that night as had not been
known round thero for many years. "Forty
years," said the old people that being the
orthodox number. In tho morning all was
white. Mountains, hills and valleys were
covered with a snowy shroud; the streams
ran wildly, as if frightened, and every
branch of every tree was hanging down,
loaded with a freight pale as death itself. -
And with the morning's dawn came no
cessation of the storm. Ail day it raced.
Miss Brune. standing once more at that
window where she bad seen them bringher
wounded guest across the lawn, recognized
the impossibility of either turning him ont
of doors or even sending for her uncle
CKeginald Brune, who lived ten miles
away) tohelp ber to entertain him.
She was qnite alive to the fact that young
women should not receivo as gnesti young
men. unlesstbe former were married, as she
stepped from her morning-room, across the
corridor, to the room where the wounded
man lay. A little message had been brought
her to the effect that he bad been very rest
less all bight.
"Oh! ynu have come," ho said, eagerly,
raising himself on bis elbow. "1 feel 1 have
been Inconsiderate, but I could not conquer
my desire to thank you for all you have
done for me." Conquer his dfsire "to see
ber" was what he wonld have said had
he dared. She was looking charmingly at
this moment, in her dark blue serge and
th big white collar, a tall, slight creator
full of gruce. '
"I am glad you are feeling better." sail
she, standing beside bis bed and looking
down at him. Her usual calm had not de
serted her ' -There was no extra flush upon
ber pretty cheek. "And you mut not feel
too gatef ul! I here la nothing really to De
aid. One would have done the same for"
"Anybody! I quito understand," he in
terrupted hastily perhaps a little impa
tiently. "StilL even that contemptible .
'anybody' wonld wist to thank you. What
a morning." glancing at the window. "I
am afraid I shall not see the doctor to-day."
"1 am afraid not. But 1 do not think
you need feel nervous you seem to me
to be "
"Oh! I seldom felt better," said be laugh
ing. "All I want a doctor for is to tell me
how soon lmayridyou of your troublesome
guest."
"Yon must not regard yourself in that
light," said she, emiliug. "You are no
trouble none at all Morgan says yon are
au admirable patient. Fray do not fret
yourself about such imaginary trifles"
She made a movement as if to go.
"A moment," said he, hastily. "There if
no one to piesent me to you, and" gently
"I have heard of the sad reason for your
seclusion at present so, of course, we have
not met, but you know who I am!"
"Mr. Graeme.' said she, smiling back at
him over her shoulder.
"Thank you. Miss Brunei returned he, at
which they both laughed.
"I shall get up to-morrow, doctor or no
doctor snow or no snow," said he.
"You mustn't be rash. But if you will get
np, I dare say Truby can make you com
fortable on a lounge in the library. . There
are plenty of books there to keep you com
pany." "Is that all the company I may hope fort"
asKed this bold young roan, who really
couldn't have lost quite so much blood as
the old doctor had said.
They very often give me tea in the li
brary 'said she, demurely. She made him
a little bow and left the room.
Tea in the library became an institution
before the week was out a week of snow
unlimited. The doctor had breasted the
elements one day. and, having interviewed
his patient, had declared him a swindle of
tbe first water. Any other man, after such
an accident, would have been invalided for
a month this man waa well and strong in
two days.
"I shall be going by yonr uncle's place
to morrow," said he to Isobel, "and shall
tell him how matters stand. You really
should not be left alone for people to talk
about you with that fraudulent person
upstairs. Yom uncle Keginald shall come
here and do propriety."
"He won't," said Isobel. laughing; I
know him. His cook is all the world to
him; he wouldn't give up even one of her
dinners to oblige the Queen."
"Selfishness, thy name is Reginald
Brunei" said the doctor angrily. "Well,
I'll insist on his coming over at all events.
When he sees how the land lies he will
probably stay. Of course, Graeme ought
to go home, but in this sharp weather a
wound such as his is liable to- "
Oh, no. He must not stir," said she
quickly.
The doctor was as good as his word; he
induced Keginald Brune to go over and see
hit niece. But that was aa much as could
be got out of him.
"I'd be delighted, my dear, to come hero
and help yon to nurse that extremely troub
lesome young man. but you know your poor
aunt is always such a sufferer, and to leave
her "
"Come, now. Uncle Reggy, you know ita
your cook you can't leave."
'My dearest girl-"pon my honor now
but you were always droll." He atiected to
taks it all as a joke, and his choky, high
pitched voice gave forth a little cackle.
".No, no, not an atom of selfishness about
me. But your aunt, you know, my dear!
so poorly all this winter, and this late snow.
I am sure no one could accuse me of selfish
ness after coming out on such a day as this
to do chaperon."
"But chape ronl If you go back again
what use will yon be to mel"
"Tell yon what, my dear; best thing you
can do is to pack up and come home with
me."
"And leave my guest! That would be too
inhospitable."
"Bring him with , you," suggested Mr.
Brune. desperately.
"But the doctor has said he must not go
outiu this weather must not' incited be
moved at all for a day or two."
"Fiddlesticks! I've been into the library
and Been him. Never saw a fellow fitter in
ray life. Oh, and, by-the-by, I knew there
was something I wanted to say to you.
Your guest our new neighbor he's en
gaged, I'm told. Going to be married to
some girl in Scotland, or Jersey or did'nt
quite catch where. I'm afraid.'
"Engaged!" said she; her voice was very
soft, very low.
Yes. So; you see, they won't accuse him
of making love to you eh! Ha, ha!'
"They will certainly not accuse him of
that with any truth, whoever they' may
be!" said she proudly.
"Of course not. Merely my joke, my dear.
Well, good-bye bless you; and get rid of
him the moment the weather clears. Snch
a bore as he must be to yon, my poor child.
Only wish 1 could stay and help you to en
tertain him. but as I have said, your dear
aunt, you know, she"
"Oh! yes, I know," said Isobel, rather too
quickly for politeness sake.

lie was gone, thank goodness. She
watched the carriage go heavily up the
avenue, and then awif tly crossing the hall
opened the library door; pushing aside a
portiere, she advanced into the room. A
magnificent fire was burning on the hearth,
and before it, sunk in the depths of a cozy
arm-chair, her impromptu guest sat read
ing. He turned eagerly as the door opened
so eagerly that it might reasonably be
supposed be was watobinft for somebody
and seeing ber, threw down his book upon
the hearthrug. He ma dan movement as if
to rise and go to her. but she checked it.
"Don't stir,' she said, ever so sweetly
and yet the youniz man listening felt in
stinctively that the tone was a little
strange. Certainly, he had not heard it
before.
"Oh! but I am quite strong now," said he.
"I am glad to near that!" She had come
slowly up to him, and now taking up the
poker began to damage the fire in a dis
tinctly reckless fashion. Poor tire! After
all, it had done her no wrong, bnt that's
the way of women. They always insist on
damaging' the wrong thing. "It will give
you your liberty soon." She turned and
let a clear glance rest on him as she said
that.-
"If that is all my strength is to give me,
1 shall wish myself weak," returned he,
with perhaps rather too much meaning in
his voice. She evidently resented it.
"Ah! Evn in your weakness you have
given yourself liberty." said she, smiling
always. An unkind little smile he thought
ir was, gazing at it.
"Too much!" he said gravely, as if puz
zled. "There is really no excuse for me; if
only the men had carried me to Iddersley,
I bhould not bave been so great a trouble
to you."
"You mean that 1 ronsc blame the men!"
"1 mean that I want to take some of the
burden off. my own shoulders. It grows
tVrible to me that I should annoy you as I
have done." . . ..
"You are ungenerous!" said she, turning
on him a quick, pale glance. And then sho
paused. She caught herself, as it were,
and grew suddenly very calm andqniet. "I
have been thinkiug." said she. "that I have
bem a bad hostess to you. Your shoulder
pains you still, and therefore you cannot
write. And yet there must be so many
people to whom you may want to eeud a
word, telling them of your accident, and of
your being snowed np in a dull a sadly
dull country house." ,
"What country house, are you describ
ing?" asked he. "I have not entered it."
"That is kind of you," said she, pulling a
blotting-pad over to her from a desk, and
arranging some papers on it. "Bnt may I
be your amanuensis for a while!"
"You may, indeed " said he slowly, and
now distinctly wondering. "But I don't
kuow that there is-anybody in tbe world
who would care to hear whether I were
alive or dead." :
"Ah!" said she, laying down her pen,
"you meau that when you want to write
yon can do it for yourself?"
"That is the last thing 1 mean. I should
be only too proud to Fouff" said he.
"what s the good of these conventional
phrases? What 1 really mean is that I
should be the happiest man alive if I
thought that you would really care to do
anything for me."
"I think 1 prefer your first speech. I am
a slave to conventionality," said she, smil
ing certainly, but very coldly. "You will
not let me be of use to you, then?"
"There w something in your tone," said
be; 'something I don't understand. If I
could only know "
There is very little to know." fihe rota
and pushed bacK her chair. "I have made
a mistake, that is all Hut your friend
your friends if you do not care for their
anxiety why should I!"
She pushed her chair still further from
her, and. going quickly to the fireplace,
rang the bell.
"You want more logs." said she. "Well,
good-bye for the present. I hope" with
gentle courtesy "they make you comfort
able?" "Quite, thank vou.w
She nodded to him very kindly and went
toward the door. He got up from bis chair
and followed hen he hardly knew how
weak be was till he had to clutch at the
table tn steady himself.
"Oh! take care!" cried she.
"Something haa happened," said he hur
riedly. "I have offended you. No, il is
tseless to say a word. I seem to know
very intonation of your voice. You are
tlended.'' In saying this, of course, he
lundered fearfully, though unconsciously.
"Offend me!" repeated she, growing very
vbite.
Purely I have," said he. his manner full
oi grief and entreaty. "But howf If 1
m,jnt know that!"
There is nothing to know," she repeated
win a subdued touch of passion in her
wble air. "Why should you imagine it!

thathnng loosely by her side. The ex
charge was a bad one. Tbe hand was most
unlrjndly! "Let me speak to yom I
knov I can guess all you would say. We
are stangers as the world regards it, but it
seemtto me to-day that there was never
any tine when you were outside my life.
Perbais I ought not to speak now so
soon."
"Xo,you should not," said she in a choked
tone.
"Butwhy, why?" asked he ardently, im

ing, "coisider!"
"Conader! Oh," hastily. "I know it is

"Oh. xo, that has nothing to do with it; I
would hive you forget me and consider
others." She l".d not had the courage to
make thi last word less than plural.
"It seens to me that there is no one to
consider n this world but just you and me,"
said he. He still held her unwilling hand,
but had harned that it was unwilling. "At
the risk o! making myself still more hate
ful to you" said ho slowly, "I will tell you
that I

both her hinds as if to ward him off, "Oh,
no!" she cried in a sharp agonized tone.
"Leave me something, some thought of
you that I can dwell upon. Tell me noth-

"I must." slid he almost coldly. "It has
gone too far cow; reject me if you will, but
at least let me say that I love you!"
She leant back against the table behind
her. and a miserable little laugh broke
from her.
"Do you?" said she. "Are you sure? Was

that another woman might be . Ob, I

posal has come on me as a surprise. But I

as a last tavor, merely, i astc you to give
your servants directions to send a message
from me to the Manor.
"Surelv." said she. "But it is still snow-
incr. and the doctor "
"Has underestimated my strength. I am
quite equal to a drive from this to my own
home."
"If so. let me order a carriage for you.
It is not necessary to send a message to the
Manor."
"Thank you. You are right. It will put
an end to so much more delay."
"That was not my motive in saying so."
said she coldly. "However you will take
some luncheon before goin!"
"Notbinir. thank you." stoutly.
"I beg of . you," said she, moving a little
closer to him, her lovely face full of dis
tress.
"Nothing," said he, even more brusquely
still.
"Then, good-bye," said she, holding ont to
him a slim. cold, courteous little hand.
"Good-bye!" He took the hand und held
it. Keinember. said he. "Remember that
I love von."
He could feel her hand trembling, bnt
her face, remained calm, and somewhat
contemptuous.
"You should think." said she.
"I shall think of you to the day ot my
death," said he. He dropped her hand and
lelt the room.

"My dear sir. you should bave been sure
before telling ber that," said Dr. Bland,
glaring at .Reginald Brune over his spec
tacles. "In my opinion you have not only
spoiled a good match, but made two people
very unhappy."
"Then why the deuce do people have
cousins of tie same name!" said Mr. Brune
indignantly. T am told by a respectable
acquaintance that one Gordon Gneme is
engaged to be married to a certain Miss
Hendley, and naturally I conclude it must
be my new neighbor at the Manor. It was
a mistake, no more."
"Well, I think you had better undo it."
said the little Doctor, stoutly.
"Eh!"
"Yon had better go and tell our Gordon
Graeme that you mistook him for his cousin.
and gave everybody in the neighborhood
(yenr niece included) to understand that be
was eugaged to a girl he has probably never
seen.
"I might as well offer him my niece's hand
as to do tnai," saia ur. Brune, wun a groan.
"Well, I'll do it," said Dr. Bland, who
saw soma glimmering of reason in Keginald
Brune's objection to oiler any explanation.
The latter accepted his suggestion with
enthusiasm.
"Quite so." said he.

"Old friend very

"I daresay they will both take it very
badly, and refuse to let me have anything
to do with the babies." said Dr. Bland.
"But if vou won't stir. I suppose I must.'
"You'll be just the right man in the right
place," said Keginald pleasantly. "And 1
say. you'll stay to dinner, won't you?
There's a white soup, quite a new thing.
that
"No. I shall go straight to Graeme," said
the little Dootor, discourteously lor him.
"You will be doing just the right thing.
my dear fellow," said Keginald with deep
encouragement.
So Dr. Bland went to Gordon Graeme and
told him many things: among others the
funny fact of Mr. Brune's having mistaken
him for his cousin and told everybody he
was engaged to Miss Hendley.
Graeme had remained uninterested until
that was said, and then he turned sharply
to the Uoctor.
"Did ho tell Mins Brune that?" asked he.
"lea I daresay," said Dr. Bland, tem
porizing; and theu, as if ashamed of trilling
with so serious a matter, he said plumply.
"Yes. he told her."
"When!" asked the young man, his face
growing suddenly white and stern.
"The day you left her house," said he.
"Ah!" said Graeme. He went to the bell
and rang it.
"What are yon going to do now?" asked
the Doctor, laughing. "Going to turn me
out of the house!"
"No," said he smiling, but rather ab
sently. "You have been a (rood friend."
"Going to kill Keginald Brune?"
"He'll die without any assistance, though
I confess I think the sooner the better. Til
tell you." said he straightening himself
until his good six feet were apparent. "I'm
going to ner. uooa heavens; what a cur
she must have thoucht me!"
He was told she wag in the morning-room.
and he strode there, mindless of the man's
sntrgestion that he should announce him.
Hetiungopen the door, and thought that
he had never really known how sweet, and
lovely, and desirable she was, until she rose
in that little, half-frightened, balf-stately
way, and looked at him with her large dark
eyes ourning in her white face.
She had been working, but the work fell
to the door, and she stood motionless, ques
tioning him in a silent way.
"So you believed it." said he. stoppine
short between her and the doorway, and
regarding her with distiuct anger.
"Believed what?" She asked him that,
hut U "was plain to him that she knew.
"l nat wnen l told ou I loved you i was
engaged to another woman."
"Is this an accusation?" said she, trying
to be calm, whilst her heart beat so madly
that she feared be would hear it. What
did it all mean? Was it false that story of
His engagement? Oh. if that might be so!
But if so. would he forgive? Was he come
here only to condemn and leave her? But
the joy of seeing him onee againl How
pale he looked: he had sutte red nearly
ob, no, not nearly so much as she had. But
still be had suffered. And how handsome
he looked, white like that.
"An accusation yes," said he. "You
knew me. and yet you thought that I could
tell you I loved you when 1 waa honorably
bound to another."
"I knew you so little," said she, faintly.
She had her baud on a pedestal near her on
which a Venus stood, and as she spoke she
leaned towards him. "It it " She
pausf d. and her breath came quickly. "It
was not true, then!" she said.
"Isobel! That you should ask me that
Queetioni"
The reproach in his voice overwhelmed
her. She covered her face with her hands.
That perhaps prevented her from knowing
that he had come np to her. It prevented
her indeed from knowing anything until
his arms were around her and she felt her
head pressed against his breast.
"it was my cousin." saia ne.
"I hate your cousin." said she. bursting
into tears whilst clinging to him. "And I
think I hate my uncle more than anybody.
It was all his fault"
'Well, there is no fault now," said he.
If vou are as happy as I am you can for
give all the world. Are you happy!"
it you nave rorgivenme."
"Darling, what is there I wouldn't for
give you?"
"Well, that Is how I feel about you."
said she laughing. "I ean even forgive you
for shooting yourself."
"Ah." said he. laughing too. "that stray
shot has made me the happiest man on
earth. Bat vou haven't told me veL Are

The theory that children are innocent
and good, and that we get worse as wo
grow older that every youngster pleases
and old man is vile is bard to reconcile
with observed facts. What grown man,
for instance, would have taken a dog. and,
after carefully encasing his body and sat
urating him with oil, set tire to this shirt
of NessusT Yet. this is what some boys in
Mystic, Conn., bave done. The advocates
of the doctrine of original sin will explain
tbe savagery of these boys in one way. the
evolutionists in another, but the fact re
mams that the innocence of childhood
leaves something to be desired at times.

Congregationalism in England Is appar
ently declining. The last year-book shows

The Devil's AdTocate.'
Chlcsgo Mall.
The old custom of introducing what was
called in medieval times a "devil's advo
cate" to rise in a church and argue doc
trinal points with a priest has been revived
in Paris. It is, of course, part of the com
edy that tbe advocate should ultimately
come out second best, and the conclusive
manner in which the priest refutes tbe con
tentions of the spokesman of Beelzebub is
mightily edifying to the congregation and
stimulative of a healthy interest in the
contribution-plate. So far as is known
this practice has been given a fair trial in
the United States. It is true that the late
Emma Abbott did more tban once rise in
her pew to hurl a soprano defiance at a
Ereacher who was denouncing the stage
ut she had not been suborned by the pule
pit and was likely to be too entirely suco
cessful in her argument. Peace to littl
.Lin ma's ashes; and as for the revived reli
of medievalism let it stay in Paris. Hippo,
dromes, whether in the pulpit or the prize
ring, are unpopular in' America.
Drunkenness a Crime.
Henry A. Hartt. II. D.. is the Arena.
Drunkenness is a voluntary lunacy
which causes three-fourths of the crimes of
violence and. exclnsive of itself, two-
thirds of all other crimes and two-thirds of
the pauperism under which the people
groan. xx ine aoors or an xne insane
asylums in the laud were thrown open and
the whole army of involnntary lunatics
were let loose it is doubtful whether they
would produce one-half the devastation and
horrors which flow from this atrocious vice.
Can any man of common sense ask if this is
a crime or question tbe right and duty of
society to punish it both for its own pro
tection and as a preventive?
