whole cloth. 1t is to be regretted that
the "Spirit" permitted Itself to be i'm
posed upon by none other than wag
and has thus been the innocent cause of
publishing so much, which to use the
mildest term, is wasting printers ink at
the expense of truth. unintention-
ally do Mr.. Beller an injustice when you
pun bis name in connection with the
big bass of the Spirit He is not in
any way connected with the paper, nor
has he been for fully three months. Mr..
Dalgarn as proprietor and Mr., HalneS
eve local must unraveithe yarn. Truth
is beautiful. 1t is most so in its marked
simplicity. 1t is the lovelieSt Of all the
train OF virtues that grace our earth in

and what they were never designed to
do,-to cure all the maladies to which
flesh is heir The world perhaps in half
of its pretensions acts upon the sham
principle-impoSition IS its wa,chword
and thus one half ii may be said, live
by cheating the other half The press,
the great moral lever in the body polite
for good, should nail to its masthead
truth as its great talismanick principle,
and az it goes abroad in its mission, per-
meat;ng society in its varied ramihca-
tons it can't be too careful lest it drop
into the Young heart of the family circle
, seed, that may produce false impressions
and create within that receptive soil a
bias for the false and wrong. So YOU
see. | have hung q brief moral episode
on the tale Of the fish, which If YOU pub
fish may be as bread cast upon the wa
tiers.
