But if every one in the territories who deserved hanging had been given his dues, the land would have been dotted with blasted trees.With the things of the flesh there can be the vindictive hope, the certainty indeed, that they will lose their charm with time, that the gold will tarnish and the gray come above the green, but a thought is dearer for every year that it is held, and its beauty does not fade away.
