...noose of the hunter, so human beings are assailed unawares through their desires and habits by temptations of every kind Again, evil is like a pestilence. Society is filled with moral corruption so that it is a miracle if any escape the disease. Finally, evil is like the arrow of human unmercifulness. Men send this arrow into the souls of their fellows, when they listen to false reports or magnify a slight wrong. The uncharitableness of men often causes a germ of evil to develop into an overpowering disease. There is, however, a moral triumph for all. We can fortify...

A yet more original, though to us less pleasing work. is the "Hunting Nymph." Bracing herself on the hillside, she has let fly an arrow and is intently watching its sure course. The triumphant joy of the huntress animates every line of the figure. It was this statue, we believe, which attracted so much attention at the Salon of '85, where it received a well-deserved prize. No greater encouragement could be offered to those...
