In politics there are Shady Places not a few . The Monarchy and its uses are in one of them—the House of Lords in another , and the good faith and intelligence of the House of Commons is so defended from the sufficed light , that to upset even the the screen events by of which this disgraceful any light of reform discussion session has have hitherto not been kept outReliionagainis full of ShadPlacesThe Protestant
. g , , y . form of faith is itself a Shady Place . The Pentateuch , as Bishop Colenso has found out , is very shady , and the Bible , the Prayer-book , the Thirty-Nine Articles , and the necessity for going to church are so sacredly defended from the light , that the mere exhibition of a farthing rushlight on the wrong side of their screen raises a chorus of holy howls against the impiety and atrocity of the hearer . Then Society has innumerable Shady Places . The marriage vow and its infraction are shaded ; prostitution is shaded , whether it be open , avowed , and vulgar , in Ill the U 1 U ^ streets LIX ^^ WO or \ S ± . secret UV ^ Vi .

The real reasons for giving balls and dinners are shaded , and generally all that is really part of the mechanism by which Society imposes upon itself and others is carefully kept in the shadiest of Shady Places . Now , we do not recognise in any man or thing the privilege of being kept out of such light as the world has or can produce to guide it . We have already ventured behind some of the screens to which the Shady Places owe their protection , and we mean to explore some of the other recesses which have hitherto been so carefully protected . We look for the support of all those who are not content with the reverse side of the secret , and with this we shall be content , the groans and howls of the wiseacres notwithstanding .

HYMN BY A MEMBER OF THE PEACE CONGRESS .
How Sweet A Thing It Is To Dwell In Bles...
How sweet a thing it is to dwell In blessed u-ni-ty , With envious passions ne'er to swell , But cherish a-mi-ty . How very sweet it is to take Your little brother's gold , And make a snug pro-vi-sion Against when we get old .
How very sweet it is— " Oh dear ! Who hit me in the eye ?" '' Who kicked me then ? Get out yoxi brute ! Ah do—just only try—" " I'll tear your clothes clean off your back , I'll smash your ugly head ;" Its done—three cheers for blessed peace ! My en-e-my is dead .
