THE CURSE OF THE HOUR.

There is too much lying. On every
hand we meet with exaggeration, equiv
ocation, deception. We call it lying,
and every man or woman who varies
one iota from the strictest fact or truth
is indeed liar.
The expressman agrees most solemnly
to deliver a trunk for you at a certain
hour. He delivers it day after the
hour promised.
The grocer promised to send you the
best tea in the market. He takes the
first his hand falls upon without any
care for the quality, and dispatches it to
you without a twinge.
A tailor agrees to deliver a suit of
clothes without fail by six in the even-
ing. You get them next morning.
The dentist pledges his word that the
teeth filled by him, will be all right for
dozen years. The filling comes out in
six months.
A man over the way is in need of a
temporary loan. You lend him small
sum, which he promises to return a:
given time. He keeps it a month over the
time. f-'
/ An autioneer tells you that certain
picture is by master-artist, when he
knows that it was painted by a fourth
rate painter. He is not worthy of be-
ing trusted.
A salesman lies about his goods.
A bootmaker lies about your boots.
The jeweler lies about your watch.
The gossiper at the dinner-table tells
exaggerated stories to astonish the ladies,
and is nothing less thanA liar.
The flo. ist assures you that his flow-
ers were picked in the morning, when
they are three days old.
Everywhere, everywhere. we hear
lying, lying, lying. Men and women
who would knock you down if you call
ed them liars, lie every hour. :
Deception is the rule rather than the
exception.
Canvassers lie about insurance COM
panies.
Brokers about stocks.
Editors about politics.
Exaggeration and misrepresentation
rule the hour and are its curse.
Gentlemen-ladies-w 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.

Although, then, thou seeSt thyself the

think that often a wounded soldier hath
won the day; believe, and it shall be so

through the wisdom and love of thy God,
may be ordered to advance the victory,
to humble thee and drive thee from thine
own imagined strength to make use Of
his real strength. And be not ha sty.
Think not at the very first to conquer.
Many hard conflict must thou resolve
upon, and often be brought very low,
almost to a desperate point, that to thy
sense it is past recovery. Then 1t is this

Italy.
F The Italian Parliament was opened
last week by King Victor Emanuel in
person. In speech from the throne the
king said that he hoped for continG-
ance of the work of the internal organi-
cation, and that thus Italy might in
crease her prosperity amid order and
safety, the two indispensable conditions.
of industry and progress. It had been
shown that Rome might become the cap
ital without eneroaching upon the indie
pendence of the Pope or the exercise Of
spiritual functions and the relations of
the Catholic world. We will respect his
religious sentiments and his liberty, but
will not permit attacks upon the nation
and it's institutions. Our relations with
all foreign powers are friendly. Testi-
| monials of affection from the Emperors
and peoples of Austria and Germany
have been addressed to Italy, which has
| conquered her rightful place among the
| nations. Since the causes of war be-
tween Austria and tally have diIsap-
peared, there remains nothing but the
confidence of mutual interest and sure
| friendship in harmony with those faHli-
| lv affections which an imperious duty
| has made me subdue, but cannot eXtin-
| guish. We wish to live in harmony
| with all nations, but we will firmly
guard the rights and dignity of our
own. The king asks for bills to protect
the organization of the army and navy
and to improve the finances. In con-
Guiding his speech the King said: 81
