In each man's history there was a time when platitudes were novel ties, and our weariness of them leads us to take for granted, that the rising race will learn what is not taught.

Some, it is true, mankind is in no danger of forgetting, but there are others, which the force of circumstances sweeps very far out of sight, and it is then that those who remember them should come to the rescue. One of these truisms, which has been much endangered lately, in this country, is that good and evil are confined to no soci ety, and are indigenous to no soil.
