Over a Cabin Table
In the summer of 185- Frank Manly and I
were homeward bound from China to Bos
ton in the splendid - clipper ship Sunset. Vie
bad been children together, and followed
many a butterfly in company. In later
years we often ran after those marvelous
butterflies in pink sunbonnets--those
o'-the-Wisps in dimity—in other fields; rath
er as rivals, though, than side-by-aide com
panions—to confess it.
This was Frank's first voyage as master.
He was now, at two and twenty, every inch
a sailor and a man. I was his only passen
ger, running home after some years' truan
cy, in a period between a closing clerkship
and au opening partnership at Canton.—
These were to me delicious days—care-free,
and eyery hour with my old playfellow was
communion of a rare order.
We were chatting one evening openly—
for there was now nothing between us but
the cabin table. The light burned just low .
enough for the quiet, dreamy hour that
Frank reeled oft' to me the small-talk of the
dear old town of which his memory held an
unreckonable cargo.
There was May who had married' Janus
-17, and the squire who had drank himself
from affluence to the poorhouse. He told
of young Sidman, who In boyhood won
marbles and sold them again to the losers at
a hundred Ver cent. advance upon regular
rates; who never played on the" Fourtb,"
but opened a curbstone bazar of loop-beer—
of his own brewing—firecrackers, peanuts,
and--s. full line of dried-apple tarts of ft low
grade. Now he was piously loaningmoney
Saturday afternoons—to gain Sunday—at
two per cent. a month, and wondering what
this world would be without interest. He
bad bought a book, "Business in Heaven,"
which proved to him that the occupations
of earth are continued above. He dwelt
with miserly unction upon the life to come.
The steward now appeared with our eve
ning coffee. Then came the usual cigar,
and we swung apart in meditation as lightly
as two vessels parting company after ex
changing sea courtesies.
" Captain," said I suddenly,
{ as if some
thing had just come to mind, though the
question had been balancing on my tongue
for an hour.
"Hal," interrupted my companion, "don't
Captain me oft fleck, here under the ca'ola
light, if you love me."
Well, then, my modest old desk-mate,
how is that little Amy Woodson whom you
used to endow so bountifully in school days
with pickled limes and chewing gum?"
Xty captain—the splendid fellow,-to show
his unconcern breathed a couple of smoke
wreaths out of his mouth, and replied with
counterfeited sadness:
" Hal, I shall -
. shalt never have faith again In
the pOwer of pickles with school girls, and
I am a doubter forever of the virtue of
spruce gum. So, so, my sly boy, you were
on that tack, too, were you? But you may
as well emulate the example of your fore
fathers, and throw that. chest of 'breakfast
tea overboard, for father Woodson has gone
where tea-drinking is neither a blessing nor
a sin. No, no, Hal, Roy Elwell weAthered
us all. By Jove, to think of it! Tile little
toad that I nursed through vulgar fractious
and the rule of three—who never had spunk
enough to kiss a girl under four eyes-rto
marry Amyl But the 'ways .of women• are
wondrous, Hal. The Sunset is my choice.
Is'nt she a beauty? lam wedded to her."
Then he laughed, drew himself up, and I
thought, " How could a woman resist you,
my handsome captain?"
" Pour puss, she bad a confounded rough
way of it," he continued.
" What do you mean?"
"Why, haven't you heard of it?"
" Vague rumors only. Her father cashier
of the bank. Wasn't there trouble? Was
it all true? Proud old man. His heart
broke, I fancy. For Heaven's sake, Frank,
tell nie what you know," I demanded.
" Well, well, old quill-driver, don't rough
np so. Ido know about It, and, though I
say it, more than any but a very few in the
old town. I never was any hand at a yarn,
but if you will have it, may be 'twill barrow
you some, seeing you were a little mkt on
A."
"Come, come, Captain—there, chummy,
then—begin. But, by George, If you exag
gerate one iota, I'll call the t:Sunset a clumsy
old water."
" Well, I peed'nt ask if you remember
Amy," began my Dis-a-tea, tormentingly,
" nor tell you of her step is the dance, of
the color of her hair and eyes, nor what her
laugh was like, nor what a woman she has
grown. Let me see, you left home in forty
" Eight."
"And you 'remember General Woodson,
then, as a cheerful,. elastic old gentleman,
who at the bank counter told oft the motes
with a celerity little less than magic to iur
unaccustomed eyes. lie was a favorite tv
erywliese, you know. t With a lad's help
he performed all ttte labor in the bank, ex
cept when Amy would come down once in
—Democrat and Cr'drpnicla
a while to give him a lift on the bobirs.—
Amy washer father's housekeeper, too; her
mother died just after you left home, I
guess. You see the young girl had fish en
ough to fry. For all, she always had a
spare hour and solve nicknack of her nee
dlework for us sailor boys when about leav
lug home. And the old General would say,
'Luck to you, my lad,' in a mighty good
mannenahat won us.
" But I never could see that she favored
one much above another. Once I had bid
den. her good-bye, I remember, and after
ward seeing Ben Boltrope call at her house,
I stood out of sight and timed him—you
laugh—watch in hand, and I had the better

been seconds: I always think fit when I

whose name we young sea dogs changed to

month after, second mate of th bark Rein

owhood began, you see, as aeon as her hon
eymoon ended. Melissa wars mourning
-for him now, and always will. And Ben
was worthy of all her tears—as good a fel
low as ever learned a rope. Go and see her,
Hal. But where am I running? Let's tack
fillip. .
- " You know the Woodson homestead on
the corner of India street. Yes—but you
don't know—as we young fellows never
think of such thing—that the grand look
ing place had been in the Woodson family
for some generations, and that the General's
father left it to hin encumbered. The
mortgage was never lifted by the latter.*
The General lived pretty well, thinking hie
position required it.
" Then in an evil, time all IBramblebea6
ran wild with a land fever—a speculation
that proinised to make the poor rich, and
the rich happy. All the old stockings in all
the dark corners in town were emptied of
their shillings to buy land in Roostock.- 7
Why, people, old people, took money out
of their Bibles that they had laid away to
bury them, to invest, expecting it to return
theta a hundred fold before it would be
needed. •'' Burial day always seems so distant
to us, especially if there-is a chance to make
any money to-morrow.
' " Amy's father Was bitten by the going
madness. He gathered the little he could
together. He drew his salary reß'ularly,
and let his household bills run. He sold
wrongfully'a few bank shares that he held
in trust for Amy, which an uncle had willed
Co-her, and invested the money in the golden
land secretly in the name of a brother in
Ohio. • I
"The voyage turned out mighty poor.—
The land was well timbered, but a hundred
miles away from river or tidewater. The
bubble burst. So the rich became poor,
and the poor became happy thinking how
their betters had come down. They were
sure of a burial, for nobody waslever too
poor for, that.
"The old gentleman was aged. He grew
fretful and absentminded. The grocer and
the butcher called again and again for their
dues—at the front door, too. The milk boy
wiw even more malicious; he chalked on
the- garden gate, ' Warning, pay up, old
hoes, and chuckled to himself around the
corner ea he peeped and saw Betty Floyd,
the old domestic, spend many minutes spell
ing out, ant many more in scorning off the
words and zhaking her cloth at the empty
street. Th ift bad abandoned the house
hold.
"Amy k .ew but little of the truth. He
said he had only the amount of two or three
quarters' salary in the lamented land slide..
She saw the failing step, and that he did not
like to have - her note it.. Ho was glad, tho',
of her help at the bank, which was needed
oftener now than ever. The toil began to
tell on little - Amy; she didn't lose her bea/
ty, .thaugh; I don't. believe she will 7kr
Itisse 'that. My boy, am I tedious?"
"Very. Go on."
" Don't blow your smoke in y eyes,
then, or you'll swear I'm crying."
" Well, well; forward!"
" Where was I? This wen on awhile,
the old man keeping the s "p on the old
tack, close hauled, flag 'the peak, and
pumps agoing. But there came a day when
the world could do Litt for Abram Wood
son, and he count dc less for the world.—
One morning when,Amy was helping him'
on with his coat tO go to the bank he stag
gered and fell upon the sofa. The doctor
came and said, 'Paralysis!' He revived
somewhat, but the old General was a wreck
of the saddest kind. He couldn't, speak an
intelligible word. Amy became his hands,
eyes, and mind. Roy Elwell was appointed
acting cashier, for the directors would not
supersede him at once. He lingered for
months with his faculties at sixes and sev
ens. One day he said something that sound
ed like ' May tenth,' and soon after he drop
ped anchor for the last time, -
"The bank officers, when examining his
cash and accounts, discovered a deficiency
of between one and two thousand dollars.
And they who had held the old General as
incorruptible said, `There is none true un
der the sun.' His bondsmen ,were called
upon, and the few, which finally means the
many, thought they knew the cashier had
used the fonds in his keeping.
" Amy, living secluded with her old do
mestic, Betty Floyd, was ignorant of the
affair at the bank. She knitted worsted
work, and fitted ball dresses for her school
mates of old days. Young Skinnem offered
her what he called his heart. By Jove,
twenty youn g fellows would have come for
ward for her hand, but there was something
in her way that wouldn't let a man with a
decent heart offer it. Skinnem thought his
Magnanimity twenty per cent. above par.—
.He had inherited from his father the mort
gage on the Woodson homestead,. which he
threatened to foreclose, - Troubles came in
troops.
"Looming over her father's 'papers one
day, Amy discovered a note addressed to
her. It was hi the neatliand of the Gene
ral. It told her that he wrote this for her
in case anything should happen to him—
that the world, after he was gone, might
judge him amiss; that he lied, It wee true,
wronged her, his sweet, beloved daughter;
that he had been false to his trusteeship;
that their Means were all gone with the bro
ken land bubble; that his heart and thought
were long sick with the secret of it; that
May the 10th of such a year he had found
his cash unaccountably short, and no man
yet knew it.. If he lived long enough he
should make it up; yes, make it up, every
cent; but Amy must wait for hers; perhaps
he could never make that up, and if he did
not, would his darling daughter forgive
him? •
"Amy bowed beneath this blow. Now
appeared the reason of the unpaid bills and
the ill-supplied hottsehold. And, the thought
came to the stricken girl, how once she had
proposed to sell a share of her bank stock
and buy . a gold watch and chain, and on
New 'ear's morning she found them under
her breakfast cup, a present from her father.
I get all this from sister Nell, of whom she
made a confidant.
"Yea, Hal, Amy bowed as.tbe lily bbws
when blown upon. She was lily without
and rock 'within. She sent for Roy Elwell.
She pressed Roy until she drew from the
reluctant fellow the affair as viewed by the
directors. It was a plain case to them; a
land enterprise-1n opportunity for making
money—and the bashier yielding to tempta
tion borrowed the funds of the bank, think
ing to enrich himself and return the money.
They were all the more ready to look on the
dark side for him, as many of their dollars
had gone the way of his. The fever had
been among them, too.
"This point of view was not plain to
lny. Through Elwell, who had been
made cashier after the death of the General;
she .obtained permission from the officers to
make a personal examination' of the books,
to be aided by Roy. Her - knowledge of
bank routine was now serviceable.
"About this time I returned from an In
dia voyage. I Ind served as boy in . the
bank awhile, you remember,,and Roy, with
her consent, Invited me to lend them a hand.
I was glad for her sake, not to say my own.
"Ral, are you yawning?"
"Shin away, spin away, my old boy."
" Well, we met and made our plans, agree
ing to make researches afte klwelt had fin
ished his day's work. By George, Ijal, you
ought to have seen tbegiy l: lier percep
tions were all (picketed by' pride and love
for the honor of the old Mai/. The theory
of the directors was not the theory of the
daughter. She admitted nothing but the
existence of en error that might yet be re.
vealed. Roy and I followed her WWI a low
•
assent. We began. We turned to that
May the 10th which. he mentioned in the
note and named in the night of his speech
lessness. We.took the first entry of the de
posits; we analyzed it. If bills, It was not
so noted; if 'checks, we followed them to
their final entry; and so through each and
all. Amy surprised us by her thoroughness.
Items that Roy and I were willing to check
as being correct beyond question, she look
ed to again and again before dismissing
The General had been too much harrowed
by the trouble to make any systematic anal
ysis of that day's transactions at the time.
- Who knows but the error, if 'one,, would
have been detected had he called hl4 . quick
er-eyed daughter into his confidence?
"We finally arrived at the end of that
day's labor, and summing up the figures,
we found the balance on hand was two
thousand dollars less than the amount re
quired. Here now was a chance for specu
lation. What became of the sum? Amy
was not /on& in deciding that its equivalent
had been mislaid—some check misplaced;
but this was merely guesswork.
"Her proposition at the next meeting
WAS to search thoroughly tlie papers in the
safe. Not succeeding there books and pa
pers in the vault were take,
one by one,
and turned, leaf by leaf. Thorough? I
think so. It was a slow, laborious process.
Her patience was astonishing. Her glance
seemed as though it would _burn the papers
it fell on. But they could not reveal a
inse
cret not in their k eping.
" Where was tb waste paper put? In a
basket. And em tied where? Roy couldn't
say. The old wo all Who swept the rooms
was called. She ptied it, when full, into
the dark closet. Sometimes when out of
shavings she used a little of it to kindle the
fire. Amy turned• pale. The search among ,
the contents of the closet was assigned for
the next day. Was it narrowed to this—
the chance of finding a valuable paper in
the rubbish? She would have had more
heart butior the knowledge of those &ca.
sional handfuls taken for kindling. Piece
by piece we went through this accumulated
heap of dusty, gone-by papers, and without
success. ;
"Roy and I had not foreseen the end—
failure. We didn't anticipate having to see,
that noble girl - sit down disconsolate, with
the tears falling _upon her fallen hands.—
By Jove, I wouldn't have begun the worli.
It was Joy for me to labor with her all the
way; but when that labor was brought to
the bitter end—to see hope go out of her
heart by her blessed blue eyes! Roy at
tended her home.
he next day he and I were seated in
the bank talking over the affair. 'Roy,'
said I, ' the Borneo, Charlie Lane, is due;
unl i t we see from the skylight in the garret

"He proposed going up to see. Roy went
ahead and opened -the skylight. The plitce

itself. Rarely a blot or an erasure did we
see, as Roy sat rather indifferently turning
the loaves. Occesionoir there remained an
unbalanced account. The fuel had become
smoke and ashes long ago, .and the debtor'
dust—Tnaybe. I Here ' was ono Job Jones
Charged with a:cord of wood a generation ,
ago. Out of this scanty material we irnag-`,
fined a histdry for this later Job. We in
vented for him little pleas for his delin
quency: that lie had married a wife; that
he had left the town; that he never had it;
that it was only half a-cord; that he paid
for it at the time, etc. Nevertheless it is a
shame, Job Jones, for you to owe forever
for the fuel that boiled your kettle, blessed
your hearthstone, ' nd perchance warmed
to life one of the in utnerable little Joneses,
we concluded. _ Di n't his ears burn?

" While we were au(Thing over this the
door softly opened, and-Amy Woodson ap
peared. I had almost expected 'twas the
1 .
ghost of the said Jones.
1. "She wished again to see the book con
taining those entries of the 10th of May.—
Roy brought it. Amy sat at one side of the
table, Elwell and Dat the other. She poured
over the page, as her father had, doubtless,
done before her, with dreamy, misty eyes.
We mentioned the reason of our mirth. I
took the book, carelessly, and opened it,
Roy and Amy looking on as I turned now
one leaf, then three ur four together, when,
'My heavens!' I exclaimed. They started.
Amy leaned over the table.- her breath
went and came quickly. By Jove, I can
feel it now on ,my cheek. .i,'irever. , a wind
can blow that aWay._ There, staring us all
in the face, were two one thousand dollar
bank bills. I swear I saw joy go into her
eyes.
"It was pretty clear to her. There was
fresh writing on the credit side of an tier'
count. The old General had had the book
from the garret 'and upon his table that 10th
of May. Exchanging the bills for some
customer, he had laid them on the open
book and absently closed it. I,t was then
returned to its old-place in the garret. His
mind being distracted by his pecuniary trou
bles., the transaction of the bills had made
no mark upon his memory This was our
theory.
"Amy had dreamed„ singularly, that she
was greatly comforted by a book, and this
was the reason 'of her;coming and calling
for the one we had first examined.” -
" And you say Amy married Roy?"
"Ay, ay; and their 'boy they've named
Frank Manly Elwell. 'Turn in, Hal, I must
look after my girl, the Sunset."
I obeyed; and In a moment more I tho't
"landed on a wharf sin Bramblehead, and
first sign that met my eyes was "Job
Jones, Dealer in Coal, Wood and Bark, for
Cash Only." A beak-nosed, fiery-eyed little
old man leaned 'over an old-fashioned door
that was divided in the middle, half shut
and half open.
"Job Jones," said I, "Frank Manly . and
Roy Elwell have judged you unjustly.—
That cord of wood they thought you owed
for," I continued, as his glassy eyes seemed
to demand an explanation. the little man
was silent, lmt he gave me a look which said
plainly enough, "What is human justice to
me, or injustice?"
And Job Jones, for I could not think of
him as any other being, became instantly a
statue of ice; a tear trickled from each eye,
and another trembled splendidly from its
nose, and in the sunshine they became=--
I awoke, andl instead of Job Jones my
eyes fell upon Jim the steward, who was

English Verbs and Prepositions
" I begin to understand your' language
better," said my. French friend, .IIT. Arcourt,
to me; " but your verbs trouble me still,
You mix them so with your prepositions."
' "I am sorry you bud them troublesome,"
was all I could say.
"I saw your frieud, lire. James, just
now," continued he. "*She intends to
break down "housekeeping: = Am I right
there
" Break up housekeeping, she must have
said."
Oh, yes, I remember; break up house
keeping.'
" Why does she do that?" I asked.
..
"Because her health 's so broken into."
"Broken down, you s could say.y'
',Broken down—oh, yes. , And, indeed,
"since the small-pox has broken up in your

leave it fora few week..."
"Indeed! and will sh close her ; house?"
" No, she is, afraid it, will be broken—
broken—how do you say
l aat?"
"Broken into.'7
" Certainly, that is what I meant to say."
" Is her son to be married soon?"
" No; that engagement is broken—bro•

" Broken. off: 411 I had not heard that."
" She is very sorry about it. Her son only
broke the news down to ber last week. Am

Ile merely bras the news; no preposi

"It is hard to understand: That young
man, her so; is a fine fellow; a breaker, I
think." .
" A l , rokfr, and a se c t' fine fellow. • Good
day."
:`So much," thought I, "for the verb 'to
break.' "
The complaint is often heard that teach
ers become fussy, arbitrary and narrow in
their views, and good for nothing else.—
This statement is true, except the last clause,
for if one has fallen into that condition he,
is certainly unfit to teach. Such, doubtless,
is he tendency in this profession; but it
ca be retisted, - and that successfully.—
Th re is, however, but one way in which to
do t, and that is by a persistent and liberal
cul ure of the mind. itave in My experi
enc met with many teachers whose society
was as rich and genial as any I have ever
found; but this has always_ come' of con
stant mental acti'vi'ty
,and
. disciplino. Be
lieve me, teacher; by this- mean; and by
this only, can you resist the narrowing in
fluence of your work. You milk learn to
wield ,a free and intelligent judginent in va
rious spheres. You may, for instance, even
in the midst of your work, by 4 proper
training of noiind and heart, poasess tastes
that stall be So far consonant with' the true
principle of art as to catch the inspirations
of nature . . 'Bp:apathy with nature is one of
, the most potent preventives of the evils to
'
!which 1 have alluded. A teacher, further.
more, should be in constant communication
with the great masters of thought, espe
cially in our _own language. To neglect
this seems to be inexcusable. It argues a
smallness of mind and perversion of taste
that should find no place in the work of in.
strutting living souls.—Conn. &ha Jour.

Winter is far more fatal to the old and to

this fatality is chiefly in the, direction ai
diseases excited by colds, especially lung
affections. Any one of fifty years will be

many times so slight as not t 9 have bean

very changeable climate, many times twitt
ing a difierence of twenty or thirty degrees
in a few hours; and when there is a harat
wind, as is often the case, doubling the dif
ferace in reality, although not indicated

'The winds are the real source of danger,
because they carry the heat froth the l body
With great rapidity. The two most fatal
causes arc, Having a draught of air °nigh=
one part of the body, and sitting still= Da a
raw, damp place.
It is impossible to be always on the look
out for draughts of air s and in riding, a
still position is unavoidable. But • there; is
an easy protection against these, found 3n warm clothin. The first s
point is tolkeep
the feet well protected, then the body, es
pecially alon! the backbone, from(the nape
of the neck lownwards, for a breadth of
three inches un the line of the shoulders,
wiliening to -ix inches or more at the Stall
of the back; the want of proper protedtion
there, at all Imes out of bed, is a fruitfu/i
cause of Brl.ht's disease of the kidneys.

blood-vessels that the albumen'of the blood
is forced t i ough, when only itstwaterj'
parts were in ended to be passed. his al
bumen is the ery life, the support' of the
body, to giv: it strength and flesh; but
when it is passed off through the bladder,
it is lost, and the man dwindles away to a
skeleton; the congestion continuing in some
cases, the blood itself follows, and death is
inevitable; hence it is specially important
in the old, that small - of the back should
be comfortably warm.
Between the shoulder-blades behind, the
lungs are attached to the body, and at no
other point. All know how soon a wind on
the back will give a cold. A very few min
utes, sitting with the back to a closed win
dow or door, will cause chilliness, even in
summer time, bectuise there is a draught of
air through the joinings; hence the space
between the shoulder-blades should be es
pecially protected in cold weather, either
by a strip of buckskin or of stout woolen
gannet, attached to the garment ordinarily
worn next to the ski iii the daytime.
But for all over fifty, for the frail
i t
feeble, a better plan is to wear next the s
both drawers and shirt made of very thick
knitted or netted material, and made to fit
about as close as an ordinary stocking; the
action of such a garment is to retain ethe
heat of the body as well as to protect it
against the external cold. It has two other
advantages: it is open enough to allow the
emanations of the body to escape from; it,
while the actual dampness of perspiration
is conveyed from the inner ti) the Outer sur

claimed for perforated buckskin. 414 a

At a meeting of the Muncy Valley Far
mers' Club, in _Hughesville, recently, the
subject of raising poultry being under die
cussion, Mr. A. it Sprout said:
When this subject was first proposed lye
had more particular reference to a single
species of the-gallinaceous or rasorial birds,
namely, the common barnyard or domestic
fowl. : ,
A great many varieties of these fowls are
kept by farmers and others, that are of no
account whatever. My experience has been •
principally with the Deminiques, Dorkings,
Creoles, Leghorns, Polandkand some mix
ed breeds called natives. , Have seen and
heard many favorable reports on others,
namely, the Brahma, Black Spanish, Shang
hai, and Chittagong, besides other fancy
and show birds. tine Leghorns, Polands
and Creoles are good layers, but generally
poor setters. The Dorkings are just the re
verse, medium layers and indomitable set
ters. But in the Dominique we have most
of the desirable qualities combined, they
are good layers and setters,exeellent nurses,
very hardy, seldom a poor fowl of the kind.

healthy, feather young, and good for any
amount of grasShoppers, and other insects.
If 'well fed will commence laying at the age
of four months. They may be distinguish
ed by their uniform color, which indicates
hardihood and' fecundity. By some they
are called checkered or hawk-colored; but
the true color of the Dominique fowl is a
lightish ground, barred crosswise and soft
ly shaded with a doik slaty blue, seldom, if
ever, mixed with other colors, feet and legs
yellow, or flesh color. All things consid
ered we pronounce them one of the best
varieties for profit. lam in the habit of

Clean and Dry Stab
A horse will endure severe Cold weather
without much inconvenience, so long as he
is furnished with a dry stable. But, require
him to stand on a wet and foul floor, and
his health will soon begin- ttrfail. Etorsee
often sutler from cold feet and legs. A.
great many stables have damp and wet
floors. Few men who handle horses give
proper attention to the feet and legs. Es
pecially is this the case on farms. Much
time is spent in the morning in' rubbing,'
brushing and stimotiting the hair. on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the feet
examined and Koperly cared for. - Now,
be it known, that the feet of a base require
more care than the body. They need ten'
times as much, for in one res Oct they are}
almost the entire horse. All the grooming
that can be done won't avail them anythlxig,
if the horse will be forced 'to stand where
his feet will be filthy.. lit this case the" feet
will become disordered; and then the legs
will get badly out of fix; and with bad feet
and bad legs,:there Is not much else of the
horse good for anything. Stable prisons are
very severe on the feet and legs of horses;
and unless these buildings can afford a dry
room, where horses can walk around, lie
down, or roll over, they are not half so
healthy or comfortable to the horse as the
pasture, and should be avoided by all good
hostlerB in the country,
The S. JosefiA, Herald alludes to the ex.
periments made with seeming good effect,

disease and its remedy. As yet the subject
has not been exhausted, nor has certainty
been reached in the eradication or cure of
the evil. This, however,
is certain, that
