N INSTITUTE. The Slanderer, Against slander there is no defence. It starts with a word, with a nod, with a shrug, with a look, with a smile. It is pestilence walking in darkness, spreading contagion far and wide, which the most wary traveller cannot avoid: it is the heart-searching dagger of the dark assas- sin; it is the poisoned arrow whose wounds are incurable: it is the mortall sting of the deadly adder, murder its em- ployment, innocence its prey, and ruin its sport, The man who breaks into my dwelling, or meets me on the public road and robs me of my property, does me injury. He stops me on the road to wealth, strips me of my hard-earned savings, involves me in difficulty, and brings my family to penury .and want. But he does me an injury that can be repaired: Industry and economy may again bring me into circumstances of ease and afiiuence.
