SLANDER.

Some weeks ago we took occasion to refer to the terrible prevalence of scandal-monger- ing that blots Ilongkoug's fair name, and we note with pleasure that our · rėmarke thercon have been extensively reproduced by journals in every part of the East and given a local application, more of less, in each instance. It would require a lot of newspaper writing, no doubt, to eradicate scandal-mongering from our social life. Still, the repression of this insidious evil may be largely brought about by plain speaking from time to time. 1 an old saying that a man's or a Man's reputation can be "damued in three words and not restored in three thousand." There are many old proverbs to the same purpose, Our own most expressive. Eoglish proverb in this direction is, "Give a dog a bid name and you may as well hang him." We notice that in a recently issued Japanese magazine, D. J. Nitobe expounds upon this same subject, "The love of running, others down."

Discoursing upon it, he takes for his text the
