OUCH W bIati'y NO '""'I'
often, we fear, to further evil designs
A certain Greek author defines d'ssiIn'
uiation to be tho art Of Disgusting
ones thoughts and actions for an EVIL
end. We would define 1t in n WORD
-falsehood. There are men in this
world who profess religion and are es'
teemed, whose lives are so many glar'
ing lies. They do not good for its own
sake, but for applause; they pretend
religion to further their own ends, to
make money. A man OF hasty tenn
per never dissimulates; for this reason
he is much more to be respected than
your smooth voiced a%atterer, whose
tongue is all honey, but whose heart
is all gall.
Woman dissimulates more than
man. There are te wer male than fe.
male airts; and flirting is the most OBJ
jectional phase Discrimination can take
The first trihes with the most tender
part of the human being; she plays
recklessly with the most important
piece of Gods mechanism; she drags
man to the edge of an abyss for the
avowed purpose of dashing him to its
bottom. Her art is the destruction
of mans hottest and best endowment.
Numerous are the instances of un.
timely deaths, or. what is worse, use
less and dcpraved lives, produced by
female Discrimination, mildly called
flirting.
The ann Of a male or female
airt has a hollow sincerity, whose echo
is a knell, a false heartiness which
falls on the heart like q sentence of
death. Discrimination is written in
their eyes and is stamped on their
mouths-thcir laugh is metallic, their
smile forced; they can donolhing with
out OVERRIDING it; their falsity is appar-
ent to every one but their victims,
who, fascinated, as FLY a r%attlcsnake,
RECEIVERS from his in(atuation only to
find himself ruined.
There are many who will glance at
this paragraph, who may have made
some advance in this evil art; ifladies,
we would say TO them in the words of
Webster:-
"Be not cunning;
For thoso whose faces do belle their hearts
Are witchc,e ere they arrive at twenty years,
And give the devil such"
The following stray lines, which we
find in an exchange, are very sweet,
and almost make US wish that we
could realize the connubial happiness
that must have been felt by the husr
band who pcnned them:
SHE WHO SLEEPS UPON MY
HEART.
She who sleeps upon my heart,
Was the first TO win it,
She who dreams upon my breast.
Ever reigns within it.
She who kisses oft my lips,
Wakes their warmest blessing;
She who rests within my arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come,
Days that may be dreary-
Other hours shall greet usyet,
Hours that may be weary;
Still. this heart shall be thy throne,
Still this breast thy pillow,
Sill those lips shall meet thine oft
As billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart.
Since thy love hath won it
Dream then, on my loyal breast,
None but thou hast done it;
And when age our bloom shat change,
With its wintry weather.
May we in tho self same grave
Sleep and dream together.
