Lecture on Lying.-The following passage from
lecture delivered in Boston, last week, by Henry
Giles, ESQ.,, has an Epinian ardpr combined with
terseness, says the Boston Courier, which cannot
fail to strike the reader, if he be not prepar-
ed to admit the application to any one hereabouts:
Mr.. Giles said: "But then the Esh tell such
lics-especially the needy Irish, and, .aboge al,
the servant girls! What singers and exceptions
they mtlst be in the midst Of SURROUNDING truth
How guilty they must be, with such briliantex-
ampes always and everywhere, before them of
simplicity, sincerity. veracty and integrity =
Wlmt severe cohscientiousness in our parties and
their leaders! How scrupulous our press How
full Of .probity our statesmen! How, vigorously
Nverity rules our orators How genius is all mer-
camille commodity and how abhorrent of false
hood is the word Of seller unto bnyer!' OF what
unbendng rectitude are all our moneyed corpora
ti6ns; how honorable and how like CGsar's wife
are oil their agents! And none of them ever run
away with oil the capitol in their pocket. The
man servants and maid servants that could DC Ca
pable Of lie in such an age Of truth are surely
the most hardened Of transgressors! Yet, oeca-
sionally, untruth is noiesablein their betters-
at least, what simple people might consider un-
truth. Joseph Surface Gollathan, Esquire, has
no respect forthe sauctities of his own home; he
has no respect for the sanctities of other men s
homes ; but he burns with O sense Of indignant
virtue on finding out that Biday went TO meet
her lover, when she said she went to'see her aunt
Yet Joseph Surface Gollathan, Esquire, thinks
lies, breathes lies, sleeps lies, dreas'liss, buys
lies, sells lies, pays lies, eats lies, DRINKS lies aud
has lies paid to him is himself cobgomerated
lie-wiu die in falsehood--and his ashes, after
death, will be copsecrated by q lying spitaph.-
For much and many Joseph Surface Gollathan,
ESQ.,, is o representative"

This maladyi is attributable to ergot in the grass

attributable to that cause. ...
