gained the friend you have lost;
they have sinned and you have suf-
fered the consequences. And even
after the falsity is discovered the
mischief will rarely be undone.
The uprooted friendship does not
grow again. The alienated friend
does not often return to you to say,
ii have wronged you with unjust
suspicious aud given credit to false
reports" The lost confidence is
never restored; the broken bond
is not reunited, and so persons may
go onward to their graves, wronged,
wounded and crushed, and that by
those whom they have pitied, as
sisted, trusted and loved, and who
abused that confidence to iniure
those to whom they were indebted
for their acquaintance with the
very friends whose ears they have
filed with SANDER and whose hearts
they have alienated with lies. Such
is the power OF lies that the purest
and truest have been stung by
them as by fiery darts and poison
ed arrows until life has been q
wearincss and death sweet repose.
But is this the end Not at all.
I Lies arc strong. brt trath is strong

Iloprar and thp lav will come when
living lips shall he silent, lying
tongues hushed, and lying stories
cleared up in the light Of the great
white throne. And how many q
lie which gossips have peddIcd and
friends have wondered at, and
doubted. and finally believed and
acted upon without investigation
or inquiry viii, in that day, be said
to be q lie, inspired by the father OF
sin, and published abroad by his
obedient children. Lies are Sa-
tau's weapons-he lied man ont Of
Paradise first. and viii lie multi
tudes Of them into perdition at
last. And If lies and SANDERS will
hinder those who serve the Lord,
they will be freely used for that
purpose. Our people have ever
suffered from the use Of lying
toncues-Job was lied about, 'Jo-
seph was lied about, Paul was lied
about, Jesus was lied about, and all
our servants are liable to be called
to task from the foul tongues of
the children Of disobedience. Let
the saints take courage and the sin
uers take care; much as they
wrong others they wrong their own
selves more. Lies shall have an
end.'

The Power of Lies.

There is no doubt that the gen.
eral effect of lies of evil report, as
given in the following article from
the pen of ID. Walter Booth, ESQ.
of Dalton, Mich, in the Muskegon
Chronicle Of the 9Th, is correct, but
that persons thus acting were ever
trUe friends of the party who may
be traduced, we do not believe, as
our idea Of n true friend is one
whose confidence in another can
not be shaken until the most indu-
bitable evidence of unworthiness
in the other are presented, and
presented in such manner and
under such combination of circum-
stances as to render them painfully
worthy of full belief. Any other
than this is unworthy the name of
friend, and should not be mourned
as such by the party losing his or
her friendship. Mr.. Booths arti-
Gle is as follows:
an lie often looks like truth-it
sounds like trnth-it seems like
truth--it is told for truth-it is be-
lieyed as truth-and is acted upon
as truth. Former friends are pre-
JUDGED against you they cut your
acquaintance without o word they
Judge you as hypocritc for wrongs
you know nothing about; they
take into their confidence those
who have betrayed you and ira
duccd you; the defamcrs have

To show how low and degraded
couutry journalism has become we
will cite this fact: Thirty years
ago all these newspaper iiends went
Into Cahoot and started papers just
for the purpose of laying up enorm-
Gus amounts Of wood. For this
purpose every country paper put
this notice at the head Of its local
column.

wood!
Yes, "bring on your wood" Mark
that!
Now, what are these rascals do
ing?
Why, they have been running
newspapers for wood until they
have got al the wood in the coun-
try in their hands. And now wood
is up-they've made a corner in it.
But Thereafter will ask, "where
is their market! What good will
it do them?'
Poor, ignorant soul! Wen tell
you: After these country editors
have got all the wood in the coun-
try into their own hands, what do
they do Why, they so to work,
tooth and toe-nail, and advocate
cremation. They know perfectly
well, just as soon as cremation be.

Every word entered deeply into
Alice's sore heart, and when all had
been told onothought and longing
held her. Alone and unobserved
she slipped away and went to the
river. The old ferryman was busy
enough this morning; the boat
had been ceaselessly plying its way
to and fro since daybreak. Eager
" Alice listened TO the voices
around her as she was pulled
across, for all were talking OF the
storm, and all spoke Owens name.
When she reached the opposite |
shore. she walked on rapidly among |
the spars of the lost vessel and over [
the dismal line of drifting seaweed, [
to that cottage on tho beach in
which she knew that Owen lay.
For moment she felt she must be
mistaken, because no crowd had
gathered here, but one glance
around showed her a groupe of
people Whispering together at a
short distance and uncOnsciously
thanking them in her heart for the
silent respect thus shown She
knocked softly at the half-closed
door.

gloomy cottage had ever looked to
the girl before. Without answer
ing, she led Alice into the kitchen
and then stood in hesitation beside
the window, where q bunch OF
priuroses and wild white violets
dropped as if they felt the SORROW
Of the house.
