To Boys EYING-Never tell whole lie,
or quarter Of lie, or any part of lie.
Many boys who know well enough what
a sneaking, mean thing it is TO lie. yet
will twist the truth, or deceive little
bit. This is about as bad as plump
faIsehood' If a boy does something
wrong, either through ignorance careless
ness OF accident, and then tells one half
truth and one half lie about it, he might
as vel have told the the whole untrulh.
Now see how the spirited, manly. true
hearted. clear tongued boy will do. after
an error He resolutely determines to
acknowledge it, without being afraid Of
any boiy's anger-lell it just as IL was
l never in my life knew any one I'd be
injured by telling the truth i'll this way;
but have seen many boy, man too.
who we're looked upon with contempt,
and thought poorly Of, because they would
tell sneaking lies. or quarter lies. The
worst of untruths-those which are de-
liberatey made up. stories about people.
or little stories nagniied into big ones
prove The teller Of them to be most
worthless, impure and mean person.
The liar is indeed despicable both to God
and good men.
On the other hand; nothing is more
beautiful than a strictly truth-telling per
son--one who never varies from the
truth; who is open, candid and above de-
ceit. 70 become SO, a boy should strive
hard, should determine TO become so, and
he will become so. Besides, it is so easy
always to speak the Truth, and so very
hard 20 arrange very pleasant untruth
which even then will, in all likelihood
be found out nine times out Of ten.

The wing convention for the nomination of State off,
held in Vermont last Wednesday. Elk Governor
Coolidge presided, and the convention addressed by
the leading wings of the State, and by Mr. Schoule OF
the Boston Atlas, who happened to be present Charles
X. Williams was nominated for governor, being the
same person who signed the multiplying act OF the last
year of the wing party of Vermont; thus formally
tioning that measure OF Reorganization.
In their resolutions they start by proclaming that they
"see occasion to change modify the fundamental
principles by which their course, party. has hereto
fore been guided They then proceed 10 denounce sla
very a moral and political evil for which they are in
accountable; that by of their steady
opposition TO the annexation of Texas and the war with
Mexico they are wholly irresponsible for the angry and
exciting questions, debates, schemes, and measures re-
sultng therefrom; that the enactment Familiarity known
the fugitive slave law of common legislation
open all occasions for discussion, notification and
repeal; that in Of its provisions ii is Objectionable
and that they shall avail themselves of their right TO at
tempt to modify it accordingly" Thus the wing party of
Vermont preparing to modify the fugitive-save law
to suit their narrow preudices, and 10 crafty their hos
tlity to the institutions of the South.
"ree-soil" convention has also Just been held in
Vermont, which undertook to nominate the Hon Lucus
B. Peck their candidate for governor. Mr. Peck is
democrat and he peremporily declined the nomination,
and wrote them patriotic response, in which he de-
cared that he could not assent their resolutions mas
much as he believes the ugitve-save law be consi
tutona that he cannot that the passed by
the last legislature authorizing the Stale courts by haJea

States officers, is just exercise OF the powers of the

raj tenor OF the democratic doctrine of the North
While aiming an indirect blow at the fugitive slave
law, the wings of Vermont profess devotion to the Union
and the constitution. The great issue of Union or Dis
union is obe decided at the approaching elections and it
will prove that while the wings Of the North tamper
ing with the free-soilers led on by Seward, the democ
racy of the North will be found supporting the constu
ton and the just rights OF the South in times past
