 "whiteness the halls of the heart." In a country

 of events of daily occurrence that it seems to be 

 almost a duty for any one, who has realised how 

 copious and unfailing they are, to do his best to 

 make them known to others, however conscious he 

 may be of his inability to do so in an attractive 

 and adequate fashion.
