Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other. So silent and unconsciously is this influence working, that man may forget that it exists.All the forces of Nature,--heat, light, electricity and gravitation,-- are silent and invisible.

Behold then, Thy "free" people now!' adds the old man with sombre irony. 'Yea!... it has cost us dearly.' he continues, sternly looking at his victim.
