Honesty.

We all know the utter misery Of being de-
ceived. No one Of Adams sons, or Eve's
daughters, has escaped the curse since the
Angel waved his flaming sword over the
barred gates of Paradise, and the first man
and woman caught its fearful glare as they
fed from III. scene of their sin. Verify, We
arc oftimes tempted to believe there is no
truth on earth All the fondest dreams of
youth deceived us; all the hopes of ripper
years deceived US; the fairest fruit proved
but Apples of Sodorn-dust and ashes and
the. flowers were Upas blossoms, OF, at best, a
l.otus!
"Are you honest p was the thrilling qnes-
tion of Hamlet to Ophelia: and we'll might
she start. Can one of US hear it with COM
posure? We dread to he doubted, yet we
know there is no truth in US. How absurd
then is the charge of over=honesty. Poor
Ophelia with all your true womanhood-
your pure love and earnest pleading-your
flowers aud. wild, sad songs-your heart bro
ken lunacy and sorrowfnl death Anobody ever
charged you With beiEg "too honest" In
fact, your lover seemed to hare doubted it in
snite of evidence and SO effectually, that to
this day, one is uncertain whether he:were
not the greater deceiver of the. two. But we
are running away.
For all this, no ono tan say there are
not some who haze never disappointed US
whose "yea. isyes," and whose "psy is
nay" These, and these only are worthy
tof trus. and affection. A well snowu wri-
tier has said, q The truest love ever repo-
ses in ,inPle-6aith!F tT9 trust tanYt 'sV
honest man is but Thorn in the Aeth"-a
perpetual source of unhappineSs and regret.

pared for its falsity ! not q seutiiuentdo they
