Henry Ward Beecher, in one Of
his sermons, said: III you don't
lie in words, you tell falsehoods in
deed and action in all the walks of
life. Do women tell the truth when
they try to make themselves appear
more beautiful than they really are
by resorting to the arts and tricks
OF fashion! Docs the merchant tell
the truth when he puts sand in his
sugar or adjusts his scales to give
short weightl The lawyer, tho
doctor, and even the preacher lio I;
but the mo mischicvous falsifiers
are the editors Of newspapers" And
in that last count Beecher lies under
. mistake.

Nfagnzine Literature.

II IS welE-known that as the currents of
rivers change so change the channels Of lit
erature, Within the memory of many
Young men of the present age Philadelphia,
Boston and Charleston, 5. O., were the
centers of intelligence in this country; not
that there were not other centers but that
these were the leading ones. The newest
ideas. progressive or otherwise, were the
most developed here. The fashion plates
which Philadelphia produced were the
American an fdt plates. The distractions
which Boston eliminated particularly from
German literature, found vent there. The
rncoil came from South Carolina. But the
snirit of all that progress has passed away.
The centers Of Southern Intelligence are
changing.
The Southern Magazine, for June, pub
lished in Baltimore by Messrs. Murdoch
Browne & Hill, is not only a credit to thil
country, and the part south OF Mason and
Diyon's line, but it would also attract atten-
ton even in Europe. It's contents are ju-
diciouslv varied. lis first article on "SOv.
| ereignty in the United States" by an En-,
| glish barrister, is not only interesting
| to those who in this country study
! its political and social advancement
but is also of interest to those who
| from a critical point, want to see how
! others see rs. "What shall he do" "rht
shade of the Trees" and "Defences o
| Washington in July, 1854" are respectively
by W. Baird, of Loreto, Mrs. Margaret J
! Preston, of Lexington, and Gen. j. a
Early, of Lynchburg, Va. As regards TIT
second piece, which is pOetical, no one
ought to be able to write more understand
inely on the subject Of shade trees, anC

there so much interesting and finely shaded

All the Buildings ON the North side
of the Square Destroyed.
A Nashville CGIOred Man Burnt ont
for the Second inIe.

A destructive fire occurred at Pulaski
early This morning, consuming all the houses
on fhe north side ofthe Public Square. The
fire originated in the second story OF John
Clegg's saloon, where a candle had beer
left burning. Most Of the buildings being
frame the fire spread rapidly.
The building at the Northwest corner
was frame, and used as an eating house kept
by a colored man. The building adjoining,
a two story brick, was occupied by Richard
Harris, a welI-known colOred man formerly
of this city, who kept a grocery store. We
understand his loss VIII amount to Sl2VJ,
on which he had no insurance. The build
inc belonged to Hugh McCrea & Co. of this
city. who were insured to the amount OF
s. 200 in the Liverpool, London and Globe,
reDreseutpd in this city by Peck q Cahill.
At nrevious disastrous fire in that place
which DESTROYED the best portion of the east
side of the SQUARE, Dick Harris was among
the sufferers. He is a good business man,
and ENJOYS the esteem of the white people
generally. who sympathize with him in bis
| loss.
Adjoining the grocery Of Harris was two
! frame houses, one occupied as family gro.
| Gerry. and the other as meat store, anc
next to those a brick house, occupied as
saloon by Barber & Tsrfey. Next was
! two-storv house, the upper portion being
| occupied by Mrs. Smith as millinery es
! Enlistment. The house on the noTtheas
corner, a brick, was owned by James X
| Crow. on which he had an insurance 0
| $4,000.
The majority Of the buildings were OIL
and dilapidated, and but for the individual
losses, there would be but little regret anon
the citizens at the disaster, as it is now be
Ueved that the burnt district will soon D
rebuilt, and the property redeemed. IN
enterprise exhibited by the citizens Of III
laski in erecting handsome buildings on tt
ruins after the former fire, is satisfactoT
evidence that the north end will present a
attractive appearance at an early day.
