But that is no reason why we should not as á community try to do something to abata the scourge. The tides and currents bring to our doors the merchandise of all the world, and by the same means come sweeping in upon us from time to time waves bearing upon their croats a miserable collection of hu- man wreckage, poor broken women whoso destiny it is to eat the sorrow- ful bread of sin and drink of the polluted waters of vice. Just at present we are, as a Colony, suffering frozó a serious recurrence of this sad affiction.
