The LIE.-It is not calumny nor
treachery that does the largest amount
of mischief in the world they are con-
tinually crushed, and are only felt in
being conquered. But it is the glist-
ening and softly spoken lie, the ami
able fallacy, the patriotic lie of the
historian, the provident lie of the pol
itician, the Jealous lie of the partisan
the merciful lie of the friend, and the
careless lie of each man himself, thai
casts that black mystery over humani
ty, through which any man who pierc
es we thank as we would thank one
who dug well in the desert, happy
in that the thirst for truth still re
mains with US, even when we have
willfully left the fountains of it.-Rus

A SUBTERRANEAN VILLAGE AND SALT
MINE.-A correspondent at Cracow,
writing on the lst, says: The famous
salt mine of Wieliezk, ten miles from
Cracow, which brings a net revenue
to the Austrian government Of up
ward Of 100000 forms G500,000)
is threatened with total destruction
by stream of water which made its
appearance on the 18th of last month,
while the wOrkmen were digging III
one OF the lower shafts in search of
potagb. The mine contains a subter-
ranc4an viii.ssse of ABOUT ten Thousand
inhabitants, who are in imminent dan
ger of losing their only source of liv-
ing. All the means hitherto adopted
of preventing the water from lnundat-
ing the mine have been unsuccessful ;
it flows at the rate of 120 cubic feet
minute, and has already almost filled
the lower passage, rapidly dissolving
the salt with which it comes in contact.
A government engineer has arrived
from Vienna and a channel is being
built under his direction for confning
the water and leading it out the mine
but it is feared that the salt columns
which support the transverse shafts
will be undermined before the work
can be completed. These passages
are so numerous tn a t their total
length is equal to the distance from
Cracow to Vienna and back, and con.
tain extensive stables and provision
magazines, decorated with statues of
salt, which are illumed on festive oc.
casions. The mine is said to have
been discoyefed by a shepherd named
WeiIiez, in 1850. 1t came into the
possession of Austria in 1772, at the
first partition of Holland.

Lungs and Chest.

IJThe attention of those afflicted with colds,
coughs, and with any disease Of the lungs, is di-
rected to this valuable remedy. The season of
the year has already come when, on account of
the sudden changes in the weather, colds and
coughs are easily taken, and if neglected may
lead to disease ofthe lungs WHAT'S neededun-
der such circumstances is a reliable remedy
speedy in atTordng relief and effectua in arrest
ing further progress of the disease.
GJTo arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and effectually,
the seat and cause of cough is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages
ofthe disease. MAsTA's PULMoNIC BALsAM pos
sesses this important power, and while it prompt
ly and eGectuaIy arrests all existing irritation
and rapidly relieves cough, it renders the lungs
further relief by promoting free discharge OF
the accumulated mucus in the air passages, i'm
parting healthy action and vigor to the chest
at the same time.
IPThose suffering with coughs and the first
stages of lung disease, will therefore find in this
valuable preparation a speedy and decided re-
lief Even those whose condition is beyond re-
covery, will derive from its use great benefit as
wellas comfort. For the class of diseases it is de-
signed to relieve, the general commendation it
has received has proved its great efficacy beyond
question. For the past ten years thousands have
been speedily and etfectually cured by its timely
use while suffering from severe colds, protracted
coughs, and from other forms of lung disease

The CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN.-A A
modern writer thus describes the
Christian gentleman:
"He is above mean thing. He
cannot stoop to mean fraud. He in
vades no secret in the keeping of an
other. He betrays no secrets confid-
ed to his own keeping. He never
struts in borrowed plumage. He new
er takes selfish advantage of our mis-
takes. He uses no ignoble weapons
in controversy. He never stabs in the
dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes.
He is not one thing to mans face
and another behind his back. If by
accident he comes in possession of
his neighbor's counsels, he passes up
on them an act of instant oblivion
He bears sealed packages without
tampering with the wax. Papers not
meant for his eye, whether they fut-
ter at his window or lie open before
him in unguarded exposure, are sacred
to him. He invades no privacy of
others, however the sentry sleeps
Bolts and bars, locks and keys, hedg-
es and pickets, bonds and securities,
notice to trespassers, are none of them
for him. He may be trusted himself
out of sight-near the thinnest par
tition-anywhere. He buys no Of
fees, he sells none, he intrigues for
none. He would rather fail of his
rights than win them through dishon-
or. He will eat honest bread. He
tramples on no sensitive feeling. He
insults no man. If he have rebuke
for another, he is straightforward,
open, manly. He cannot descend to
scurrility, In short, whatever he judg-
es honorable he practices toward ev-
cry man." imal szu451ia1 9dT

HE FRESHMAN AND THE NEGRO
Ex-Governor Briggs, of Massaclu-
sets, used to relate the following,
which a correspondent AYERS has not
been in print:
"in the old stage coach days, an
Irishman was travelling in New Eng
land. Arriving late at the town
where they were to spend the night,
Pat discovered to his dismay, that his
only chance for sleep was to share
the couch of a colored brother. The
natural repugnance Of his race, made
him 10th to accept the situation, but
being very tired, he submitted with
as good grace as possible. In the
night some mischievous boys blacken-
ed his face. In the morning, fifteen
miles were travelled before breakfast.
Our Celtic friend was awakened just
in time to spring in the carriage as it
was moving off. At their stopping
place, he found no convenience for
washing. Stepping up to the glass
to arrange his hair, he started back
in horror, exclaiming, BE jabers,
you've woke that dirty nagur, and left
me fifteen miles behint l"-Harper's
