WHY PEOPLE DO NOT SPEAK THE TRUEH-
People do not speak the truth, not for the
want Of not knowing and preferring it, but
because they have not the organ to speak it
adequately. 1t requires a clear sight, and
still more, high spirit, to deal with false
hood in the decisive way | have known sew
eral honest persons who value truth as much
as Peter and John, but when they tried to
speak it, they grew red and black in the face
instead of Ananias, until after few attempts,
they decided that aggressive truth was not
their vocation, and confined themselves
theuccfOrward to silent honesty, except on
rare occasions, when either extreme outrage
or happier inspiration looscEed their
tongue. But soul is now and then incarna
ted, whom indulgcnt nature has not afflicted
with any cramp or frost but who can speak
the right word at the right moment, qualify
the selfish and hypocritical act with its real
name, and without any loss of serenity, hold
up the offense to the purest daylight Such
a truth-speaker is worth more than the laws
Of Governors; for those do not always know
their own side, but will back their own side
for want OF this very truth-spcaker to expose
them. That Is the theory of the newspaper,
to supersede official by intellectual influence
But though the apostle establish the journal
1t usually happens that by some strange over
sight, Ananias slips into the editors chair
If, then, we could be provided with a fair
proportion Of truth-spcakcrs, we could very
materially and usciulIy contract the legisla-
tive and executive functions. Still the main
sphere for this noblcness is private society.
where so many mischiefs 90 unwhipped, be
ing out Of the cognizance of law, and sup
posed to be nobody's business. And society
Is at all times suffering for want of Judges and
headsmen who will mari, and lop these male
factors.-EmcrSon

Madam, have been painting from life. |
have painted you from life and | have paint
ed this friend from life-a friend so modest
and SO unconscious of her charms that she
would weep with her sense of unworthinass
if she were told that had attempted to paint
her. How does the contrast strike you? Do
you not see VOC are & slave and that she is d
free woman Do you r.Sc see that she has
entered into the eternal realities of things,
and that you engrosSed in ephemeral
nothlngnessg Do you not see that she is a
refined woman and that you are coarse one /?
Do you not see that her unselfsh devotion to
the happiness of others is beautiful, that her
Inconsistencies of her charms is beautiful,
that her simplicity is beautiful and that your
selfshness aud your devotion to dress and
your jealousy aud your riyaries are all vul-
gar and ugly and hateful?
1t is complained of by many of your sex
that men regard woman only as a plaything
"a creature to be honored and petted and
controlled, and INDUCED in as a troublesome
luxury. 1t is complained of that woman does
not have her place as mans equal--as his
friend, companion aud partner. Are men en-
tirely in the blame for this opinion, to the
limited extent in which it is held +? Suppose
men were to take you and such as are like
would be their conclusions? Suppose they
were to thoroughly comprehend your devo-
ton TO your own person-to realize the alb

opinion is | thought so. You have ceased
to love him, and he has ceased to oppose you.
1t Is Impossible for your husband TO love YOU.
1t is impossible for any man either to honor
or to love woman SO selfish as YOU are; and
your sex may blame you and those who are
like you for all the contempt which a certain
class of men feel for women. You degrade
yourself to the position of a SNOWY creature,
good for nothing but to spend money. You
teach men contempt for your sex, and it Is
only the modest and intelligent woman whom
you despise that redeems it to admiration and
love.

frightful spectacle, although far less hideou:
/ than at the close CT his battle with Savers
At last even the drll and opaque humanties
! of his friends were stirred, and after another
merciless round, in which the falling strength
+ OF the great gladiator was no longer capable
OF affording him shadow of defence he was
at the close of the twenty-fourth round, with
drawn reluctantly by his friends, though him
self lnsenslble. Thus the cruel contest end
ed, leaving for the moment little to choose
between the condition either of victor Or van
quashed.
Such was the end of the fight, after near
ly forty minutes of hard, quick desperate
fighting, between two of the most powerful
men that have probably entered the ring 1t
was fought out fairly and truly to the bitter
end, neither man taking advantage of the
other. No hand was laid upon t.7n but
that of their own seconds, from the moment
they both entered the ring until the Amer
can laid Senseless, bruised and beaten out OF
all sembiance Of the man who in the pride of
manhood and strength had stood there only
half an hour before.
There were great cheers as King Won to
which, Tor few moments, he was very deaf
for the pace had been rapid and all-powerful
as he was, the heavy falls had shaken his Vi
tally, and the giant who had strobe into the
ring an oyerGatch for all could scarcely
which was TO keep him from fainting. Yet
there must be soul of goodness even in
things evil, for the first really conscious
thought that fitted through his mind was a
wish to make friends with his late antagonist
and as he said ii he lunged heavily through
the crowd of his admirers to a little knot Of
curious lockers on, amid whom, what seemed

Heenan, though not nearly so much punished
as when he fought at Marlborough, was evil
IDENTIFY much more injured. He was pulseless
at the wrists, and even over the
heart the palpitation was Tutoring
faint and low. \ ct he had not tainted.
1t was the insensibiHty of exhaustion, the
sheer want of vitality, though almost till he
collapsed so suddenly, he was supposed TO be
the winner. One man was trying to heaye
up his immense iuanimate- form. while an
other stripped the wet drawers, stained deep
with his own blood, from the limbs of the
stunned athlete. There was a dreadful sig
nlticance in the way in which he was hauled
about limb by limb, as warmer clothes were
dragged over his unconscious form, like
dressing corpse. Yet no one seemed to
mind much, fer all were crowding round the
victor, who with very little signs of punish
ment about his face, came gaily up in the
train to town. Heenan was left with his
seconds on the field he had fought to vim

Gold BY the ShgyeifHl.
From the Dallas l0regon) Mountainee

FROM the Dallas (Oregon) Mount aineer.
\ tradition has been current for Years that
some lost emigrants, in 1915, while wander
ing through the country drained by the NAL
heur, discovered mines where gold could be
raked up by the shovelfuI At the time the
discovcrers were ignorant of the characters
ties of gold in its native state, and accord
insly they passed on, regarding the metal as
worthless \ few years later some of these
men were attracted to California, and on Wis
iting the mines there, almost the first remark
was, that they knew where bushels of that
kind of stuff were to be had. Since that
date scarce year has passed but did not
witness the departure of companies uf men
who were sent out for the purpose of discov-
ering the country described by the immi-
grants. These exploring parties have uni
tOrmiy proved failures, owing, in q great
measure, to Il Z hostility of the Indians, who
have resolutely refused to allow the white
man to prospect theircountry. At last, how
ever, a party more fortunate than the rest,
have succeeded in finding the long lost gold
fields, and, If reports are to be believed, the
story of its richness has not been exaggerat-
ed by the original discoveries.
