The Curse Of the day.

There is too nnch lying. On every
hand we meet with exaggeration equivoca
ton, deception. We call it lying, and
every one who varies one iota from the
strictest fact and truth is indeed liar.
The expressman agrees most solemnly to
deliver trunk at certain place by a cer>
tain time. Ii delivers it the day after the
time promised, and thus lies. The grocer
promises to send you the best tea in the
market. lie takes the first his hand falls
upon without regard to quality, and dis
patches it to you without Il twinge. He is
liaE The printer promises to do your
work cheaper than it can be done elsewhere
in town. He forgets his promises
charges you what he pleases-and lies
The tailor Agreest to deliver a suit of clothes
without fail by six in the evening. You
yet them in the morning, and the tailor is
liar. The dentist pledges his word that
if your teeth are filled by him they will be
all right for dozen years. The filings
come out in six months ami the dentist lies.
A man over the way is in need of ter&
porary loan. You lend him small sum
which he promises by everything to return
at a given time. He keeps it month
over the time and Is liar. An auctionce.
tells you that a certain picture is by mas
ter artist when he knows it was painted by
fourth rate painter. He lies and is not
worthy of trust. A salesman lies about
his goods. A bootmaker lies about your
boots, A jcweler lies about your watch {,
The gossiper at the dinner table tells ex-
asgerated stories 20 astonish the ladies
and is nothing else than liar. The florist
assures you that his flowers were picked in
the morning, when they are nearly two
days old. He lies, and will lie about any
thing. The book publisher advertises that
his books are selling by tens of thousands
when be has not sold thousand. He is a
liar, and one door off from a murderer.
Everywhere-everywhere, lying, lying,
lying. Men and women who would knock
you down if you called them liars, lie
every hour. Deception is the rule rather
than exception. Canvassers lie about
insurance companies. Brokers lie about
stocks. Editors lie about politics. Ex>
aggeration and Misrepresentation rule the
day and are its curse.
Gentlomen-Ladies-why cannot the
truth be told always and ever? Why all
this deception and lying? Why so much
falsifying and cheating In the name Of
all that is good we beg of you to do as you
agree !-Enchonge.

A Boys Trials.


We do not think that any boy ever put
on his first long tailed coat without sense
of shame. He first twists his back half
off looking in the glass, and then, when he
steps out of doors, it seems as if all creation
was in broad grin. The sun laughs in the
sky there are faces at every window his
very shadow mocks him. The very boards
creak with consciousness of the strange
spectacle; and the old pair of pantaloons
that stop light in the garret window nod
with dersion
If he is obliged to pass group of men
and boys, the trial assumes its most terrible
stage His legs will get mixed up with
embarrassment, aud the flap of the dang
ling appendage is felt against them, moved
by the wind of his own agitation he could
not feel any worse were it dish-rag to be
worn by him as badge OF disgrace. 1t
is happy time for him when he gets to
church aud sits down with his coat tail
under him but he is still apprehensive
with thinking of the Sunday school, and
wonders if any Of the children will ask
him to swing his long tailed blue.
The entrance into society may be said to
take place after the boyhood has passed
away, yet multitude take the initiative
before their hearts are presentable. 1t is
a great trial for a tender or tough age.
For any oyergrown boy to so to door,
knowing that there are dozen girls within,
and knock or ring with absolute certainty
that in two minutes all their eyes will be
upon him. is a severe test of courage. To
90 before these girls and make salts
factory tour Of the room without stepping
on their toes, and then sit down, and then
dispose of ones hands without putting
them in ones pockets, is an achievement OF
which few can boast. If boy can 60 SO
far It's to measure off ten yards of tape
with one Of the girls, and cut it short al
one end, he may stand chance to spend q
pleasant evening but let him not fattel
hsmself that the trials of the evening are
over. There comes at last the break up
The " dear" girls don their hoods and
shawls, and look so saucy, so mischievous
and impressiable, as if they did not wish
any one to 90 home with them. Thcr
comes the pinch, and the boy having tn,
most pluck makes up to the protest girl

elbow, stammers out the words: Shall
see you home I? She touches her fingers
to his arm, and thus they walk home atou

AS soon as she is safe inside her own home

been and gone and done it.

AN ANCIENT BATTLE.--Frce from the
smoke of modern engagement, Hellenic
battle must have been gallant sight. In
purple tunics aud FURNISHED armor, the
men stood ten, fifteen and twenty deep,
beneath ghttering forest of spear beds.
Those well to do had no lack of gold
about their ereaves and breast. plates, and
were dandifed in plumes and sword>belts /;
while even the poorest citizens wore a
helmit fashioned by the exquisite taste Of
a Greek artifcer. 1t must have been a
trial of the nerves Of the bravest to stanu
biting his moustache, humming a bar Of
the p@an which he was to sing within the
next quarter of an hour, wondering
whether his widow would marry again
hoping that the cobler on his right might
not turn tail, or the teacher of gymnastics
on his left shove him out of the line
dimly conscious meanwhile that his colonel
was exhorting him in a series of we'll tuned
periods to bethink himself of the tomb
which covered those which died in Their
mopyl@, and the trophy which stood on
the beach at Artemesium. And then the
signal trumpet sounded, and the music
stl uck up, and the whole army moved for
ward, steadily at first, but breaking into q
run, when only few hundred yards sepa.
rated the approaching lines. And, as the
distance between them grew shorter, and
the tramp Of the enemy mingled with theil
own, the front rank men had just time tc
try and imagine that the countenance Of
the people opposite looked like finchiug
and that the notes Of their war chant had
begun to falter, and the next second there
would be a crash of pixies, and grating ci
bucklers, and clutching of boards, and
those who would tain be home again, were
pushed on by the mass behind, excite al
hearing others fighting, and with no steel
at his own throat; and, after FIVE minutes
of thrusting and shooting, and fierce strain
ing of foot, and knee and shoulder, the less
determined or the worse disciplined of the
two hosts would learn by more cruel expe,
rience, what the old learn, that life, as WEI
as honor, is for those who retain their self,
respect and their shields.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1869-05-07
THE CATHOLICS AND SUFFRAGE

The Catholic World in its last issus con-
gains paper on the " Woman Question"
taking the ground that the movement in
favor of extending the suffrage to women
is suited to do more harm than good to
both sexes. The writer admits the high
intellectual and moral capacity of women,
he does not object to their political entran-
chisement on the score Of their incom-
potency either to vote or to hold Office; but
on the ground that it would weaken and
ultimately destroy the Christian family.
He believes that the greatest danger TO
American society arises from the present
tendency to become nation of insulated in.
dividuals, without family ties or affections
We have in great measure lost the pure
associations of the ole homestead. We
live in hotels and boarding houses, rather
than at the domestic 6reside. The family
to a fearful extent, has become but the
mere shadow of what it was and of what
it should be. Hence, the writer argues
that if the suffrage is conceded to women
what remains Of the family union will soon
be dissolved. Woman was created to be 8
wife and mother; her proper functions i,
the care of the household and whatever
draws her away from the domestic sphere
and places her in the turmoil of politica
life, tends to rob her of her true dignity
and worth.

Vices Of Genius.

Colcrid,, C was such a slave to liquor
that lie had been kept an unwilling prisoner
by Christopher North on an occasion when
some literary performance had to be com
pleted by certain time ; and on that very
day, without taking leave of any member
Of the family, he ran off at full speed
down the avenue to Elleray, and was soon
hidden, not in the groves of the valley,
but in some obscure den, where drinking
among low companions, his magnificent
mind was soon brought to the level of the
vilest of the vile. When his spree was
over he would return ~to the society OF
decent men.
De Quincy was such slave to the u-c of
opium that mis- daily allowance was of more
Importance than eating. An ounce of
audanum a day prostrated animal life
during the forenoon. It was no unfre.
quent sight to find him asleep on the rug
before the FIRE in his own room, his head
on book, and his arms crossed on his
breast. When this torpor from the opium
had passed away, he was ready for com,
pany till about daylight Ia order to show
him off his friends had to arrange their
supper parties so that sitting until three or
four in the afternoon, he might be brought
10 that point at which in charm and power
of conversation he was so truly wonderful.
Burns was not less drunkard than
Coleridge. 1t was the weakness Of
Charles Lamb. And who can remember
the last days of Poe without an irrepressi-
ble regret ? He was on his way to marry
a confding woman, stopped in Baltimore,
and was found bya gentleman who knew
him, in state of beastly intoxication, un-
conscious as a log, and died that night in
the rawlings of delirium tremens.
Douglal Jerrold was devotee of gin, SC
also was Byron. Steele, the brilliant
author of the Christian Hero, was also Q
drunkard. Men wrote of him that he
would dress himself, kiss his wife and
children, tell them lie abont his pressing
engagements, heel it over to a groagery
called the " store," and have revel with
his bottle companions.
Robinson says Of Alexander the Great
that the true poison which brought him tc
his end was wine.
The Empress Elizabeth of Russia was
completely brutifed by strong liquor. She
was often in such state Of bacchic ecstacy
during the day that The could not be dressed
in the morning, and her attendants would
loosely attach her robes, which few clip.
of the scissors would disengage in the
evening.

A BLACK JoKE,-Cuffee, passing along
the street, the other day, was astonished at
hearing voice call out
How dye do, Massa Mungo? ? How
are ye, SNOWFALL 2"

proceeded from parrot in splendid gilt
cage.
