THE EXACT TRuTH.-Two young masons
were building brick wsll--the front wall
of a high house. One of them, in placing
q brick, discovered it was little thicker
on one side than on the other. His COM
panion advised him to throw it out. :" 1t
will make your wall untrue, -Ben," said he.
"Pooh ~ answered Ben, E'what difference
will such trifle make7 You're too par
ticular."
"My mother" replied his companion,
{" taught me exact truth ever so little an
'untfuth is lie, and lie is no trifle."
"Oh !"%said Ben, that's all very we'll /;
but am not lying, and have no intention
of doing So"
every true, but you make your wall tell
lie, and have somewhere read that a lie
in ones work, like q line in his character,
will show it sooner or later, and bring him
to harm if not ruin"
"rll risk it in this case" answered Ben,
and worked away, laying more brick and
carrying the wall up higher, till they quit
work and went home.
The next morning they went to resume
their work, when behold, the line had
wrought out the result of all lies. The wall
getting little slant from the untrue brick,
had become more and more untrue as 1t got
higher, and at last, in the night, it had top
pied over, obliging the :nasons to do al
their work over again. Just SO with ever
80 little an untruth, If yOu permit it to re-
main, till it brings sorrow AID ruin.
Tell, act and live the exact truth always

Mr.. Greeley, i'm a recent conversation with a
reporter of the New York san, denies that he
ever asked Mr.. Beecher tO perform the marriage
ceremony for Mr.. Richardson, and, i'm relation
TO the Mrs. Calhoun, whom Mr.. Beecher gives
as Greele! represe ntative, he says
81 was not well acquainted or personally inti-
mate with MIR. Richardson nor did know Mrs
McF cFarland, but Mrs. Calhoun said she knew ALI
about them. So wrote letter of Introduction
for her 10 Mr.. Beecher, telling him that she
would explain her business, and presume that
she dld; but Knew very little, next TO nothing,
Mr. Beecher 6r body else TO marry them or
anybody else, in the whole course Of nv Iife i
have other things TO think about besides getting
people married."
In the lecture room Of his church OH Friday
night Mr.. Beecher made somewhat lengthy
rndicatOry explanation Of his participation in
the marriage and the funeral ceremony which
succeeded. The explanation was drawn out by
members Of his congregation at the weekly lee
ture. He said:
'He was one OF those men Who when cause
appealed to his sympathy and TO his heart, he
was drawn almost irresistibly to 1t. From the
very manner in which Mrs. Calhoun pre- ,ented
the matter TO him, il seemed 10 him that he was
needed Ia defend tie cause of the weak against
the strong. There was something to be done
that Tlsked great amount of unpOpularity, and
that required that some one strong enough 10
bear it should throw himself into the breach,
Such cause, such an appeal, and such a state OF
circumstances raised within him all that ap-
peals 10 that which is combatve and tend ar
within him. His idea OF a minister was not a
man who never had spot on his collar, a spot
on his cuffs, or upon his bosom. He expected
TO come ont of this fight muddy and spot ted
He thought he had a heart like his great Mas
ter, and feeling like that, he had not felt guilty
in what he had done. knowing what he had
done, the question he now asked himself Was
Would he do il again? In answer to that as
the Dutchman once said, II INV foresight was
as good as my hindsiglIt should 10 a great many
things better than do Mr.. Beechcr theu said
he did not wish his church 10 apologize for their
pastor as having dome n wrong rIrfiig.- tncy
did not agree with him in this matter, let them
rise and say se.'
Mrs. Calhoun seems 10 have been the busy
body throughout this entire transaction; and an
account OF the divorce proceedings in Indiana,
which appears in the Cincinnati Commercial.
shows that she was the party who furnished the
evidence, the argument, and everything else
that decided the case. According to this ac-
count the divorce was made off-hand at one
hearing. The New York San says that McFar-
land not only knew nothing of the divorce pro-
ceedings while they were in progress, but was
not even able to ascertain the whereabouts or
his wife while she was in Indiana.
