Honor and Truth.

There is n prouder title to the respect of our
fellow creatures than the being what is known
as ''a man of his word" AS there is nothing
so mean as treachery, so there is nothing more
noble than truth. Never break promise once
given. On no occasion stoop to falsehood 1t
| is sometimes thought mark of sharp intellect
to overreach a customer, but the morality which
sanctions such an act is low, knayish and con-
temptible. I'D. Vi t.rra-4 .t..-.r
DISSEMINATION is rarely to be exercised the
meaner vice of stimulation. never. If you can
not reveal the truth, stoop not to counterfeit
lie. 1t is alike dshonOrable to utter falsehood
or to act one. Many persons affect to think
there can be no lying unless in words, and ac-
cordingly take great pains to deceive others by
looks hInts, and deeds. But there is something
base as well as wrong in such conduct. We
would rather man would lie to us openly than
cheat and beguile US by such contemplate
stratagems. The essence of falsehood is de-
ceitj and he who deceves neighbOr, yet avoids
putting the lie in words is quite as criminal and
far meaner than the bold, frank, bad man, who
openly violates truth instead of skulking into
corners to outrage her in secret. s..o-
In the present day, alas there is too little
regard for truth The good, old-fashioned NOR
ality Of our sires, which regarded falsehood as
the most detestable of acts, has come to be
looked on as an obsolete affair, very appropriate
for the days of our grandtathers, but not at all
fitted for their active, enterprsing, and quick
witted descendants. "You did him finely" says
the dealer to his clerk when the latter had sue
ceeded in getting off lot of goods at the high
est prices. "a sharp youngster, that" says
the merchant, in hearing of the lad who has, in
imitation of his elders, just overreached a GUS
toner. "ThatlS- keen fellow; nobody will get
ahead of him, we hear continually applied to
individuals noted for sharp dealing. Is there
any wonder that, when deception is thus encour-
aged, the morals of trade should be loose, or
disregard of truth infect even private life 2 No
man can long maintain two characters, one for
the cOUnting-house and one for the parlor.
"He who will habtually tell falsehoods is not
to be trusted" said Sir Walter Scott, and few
men understood human nature better, or scorned
base actions more. Parents should remember
this The child who learns to lie will not be
long learning to do worse. The youth who dis
regards truth, though he may grow up to be ap-
parently man of recttude and honor has a
character rotten to the core, and will be tempted
inte many mean and dscreditable action,
thinking that few false words will conceal his
guilt Oh, suffer any error in. child rather
than an indifference to truth. Teach him never
either by word, look or action-to degrade
himself to falsehood. Teach him to loathe
lie. Instruct him that every noble nature, that
every man of honor, scorns and detests untruth,
whether in public or private life, as something
inexpressibly base.

Why Mr.. CHASE RESIGNED THE TrEAsrRY.-
A copperhead contemporary says that Mr.. Chase
resigned the Treasury to escape the sinking
ship; Greeley says that he resigned on account
Of family quarrel in the Cabinet that would
be discreditable to tea party OF foolish old
women. Thus IL appears that, failing to retain
Mr.. Cisco in the Sub-Treasury Of New York.
Mr. Chase wanted Maunsel B. Field appointed
in lis places that Old Abe wanted somebody
else: that Chase then desired a confidential
talk with the President on the subject, which
Old Abe denied OF lodged, and that conse-
quentIy Mr.. Chase retired in disgust. All this
we believe to be true; bit II ia only half
the story. From the nrst Bull run to the
day OF his resignation Mr.. Chase was
the Marplot and the Mepbstopheles Of
the Cabinet He kept its members, including
Old Abe, continually in hot water, and was
so far the master OF the situation that down to
the late Baltimore Convention he was the ter
ror Of Seward and Thurlow Weed and the
master OF Old Abe himself But our long-for-
bearing and amable President having secured
the Baltimore nomination, was no longer
afraid, but turned the tables upon Mr.. Chase,
aud has thus paid him of in his own paper
for that Pomeroy circular. This We believe 10
be true as Gospel
What next Between Chase and Seward the
former has left the Cabinet aud the administra-
ton party in such stew that his successor, Mr..
Fessenden. demanded, with his appointment, a
complete Cabinet reconstruction. and still de.
inands II backed nv the ruling naiorifv of the
Senate. Why is not this demand respected,
founded as II is upon good and substantial
reasons Is our unfortunate, temporizing Pre-
sident now afraid Of Seward and Weed. and
