pUNs1HmENT FOR LYING.

The way some people lie around
about Marietta is caution. A
fellow said he would pay us sum of
money last Monday, if he lived
We guess he's dead, as no didn't
pay it. Do you know the punish
ment for lying?
When Aristotle, who was Gre
clan philosopher and the tutor OF
Alexander the great, was once asked
what man could gain by uttering
falsohood5, he replied, "Not to be
credited when he shall tell the truth"
On the contrary, it is related that
when Petrarch, an Italian poet, man
Of strict integrity, was summoned as
witness, and offered in the usual
manner to take an oath before a court
Of Justice, the judge closed the book
saying;
Gas for you, Petrarcb your gord
is sufficient"
From the story of Pelsarch we may
learn how great respect is paid to
those whose character for trnlh is
established and from the reply OF
Aristotle the folly of lying. In the
country Of Siam, a kingdom Of Asia,
he who tells lie is punished accord
ing to law BY having his mouth sewed
up.

EYE SPEAKS OUT.

Gen. Grant, in letter to tie
President of tho Pennsylvania Re-
publican State Convention, says:
CHOW, for the third term. | do
not want it any more than did the
first. | would not write or utter a
word to change the will Of the peo-
pie III expressing and having their
choice. The question Of the num-
Der Of terms allowed to any one ex>
ecutive can only come up fairly in
the shape of a proposition to amend
the constitution a shape in which al
political parties can participate fix
ing the length Of time or the number
Of terms for which any one person
shall be eligible for the Office Of
President. Until such an amend
ment is adopted, the people cannot
be restricted in their choice by resoN
luton, further than they are now
restricted, as to age, nativity, etc.
It may happen ia the future history
Of the country that to change an cx-
ccutiyo because he has been eight
year in Office will prove unfortunate
If not disastrous. The idea that any
man could elect himself President,
or even TO renominate himself IS pre-
postsrous. 1t is reflection upon
The intelligence and patriotism Of the
people 10 suppose such .hing pos>
sibls. Any man can destroy his
chances for the office but no one can
force sn election or even nomins-
ton. To recspitulate: J am not nor
have | ever been a candidate for re-
nomination would not accept
nomination if it were tandered, unN
less it should come under such cir
cumstances as TO make it an impero-
tive duty, circumstances not likely
to arise"
Grant does not say he 10 not can
didato for Third Term, Ibut rather
olfors an argument in favor Of its
propristy, and makes bis acceptance
Of denomination contingent upon
circumstances. Verify, he is work
ing night and day to bring these
circumstances prominently into OK
istenco. He may with cunning
ambition prophecy evil in case Of
the displacement of an eight year
President, but there could be moth
ing moro politically "unforlunate
and disastrous" to The country than
his recollection.
But We believe Grant would on
the third term programme be badly
beat.

CUTTING 4 DIDO"

This is a phrase older than most
people imagine. Doyou call to mind
the story of Dido, princess Of Tyre :
Her husband, Acerbas, priest of Her
cules, was murdered for his wealth,
by the King Pygmolion, brother to
Dido. The widowed princess was
enabled to escape from Tyre, bear
ing with her the wealth Of her hus-
band, and accompanied number OF
di8ahected mobiles.
After variety Of adventures they
landed on the coast of Africa, where
Dido Dargainod with the natives for
as much land as she could enclose in
q bulls hide. Selecting a large
tough hide, she caused it to be cut
into the smallest possible threads,
with which she enclosed large tract
of county, on which the city of Car
thage soon began to rise.
The natives were bound by the
letter Of their bargain, and allowed
the cunning queen to have her way
and after that, when any one had
played off sharp trick, they said
he had "cut q Dido That was al

RADICAL VENOM

The advice Of JEFFERSON DAVIS
in his Houston speech, the other day,
relative to the American flag, al
though ola nature to satisfy the most
extrayagantly loyal Radical, has
besn seized upon by tho remorseless
extremists Of the few papers which
are still striving to keep up bittsr
antagonism toward the people Of the
South, and made TO mean that 1ir.
DAVIS is seeking political houors and
the eventual restoration Of the Cons
federacy. 1t is somewhat strange
that after the long clamoriug Of these
wonderfully loyal geutlsmen for ex-
pressions of patriotism on the part
Of ex Conlederatos, when such eX-
pressions are made, and made in
sincerity, they Immediately try to
prove that their authors are liars aud

A BEAUTIFUL EULoGY

The Kentucky papers contain
many beautiful panegyrics and GU
logies, on the life and character Of
the distinguished, much beloved,
aud much lamented John c. Breck-
enridgc, uttered by the noblest and
most eloquent orators Of the land.
And well may Kentucky be proud Of
giving birth to such a statesman,
patriot ana true mau. Among the
many beautiful and appropriate Gu
logiss which we nave seen, none has
struck us more forcibIy than the
chaste and eloquent address OF Mr..
j. Lawrence Jones, Commonwealth
Attorney, for the Lexington DioS
trict, bir. Jones is we'll known TO
many citizsns Of Georgia and Ten
nessco, as one Of the bravest ard
noblsst Of John Morgan's captains
during the war, and if his life and
hsslth arc spared, bids fair to be
smother son Of kentucky, as much
distinguished and beloved as the i'm
mortal statesman whom he 50 beau
tihlly euIogizes. Below we give a
short extract from his address:
ellis battles all fought, his strug
giles all ended, there he lies in his
humble home his great soul depart
ed that splendid voice which once
held entrauced listening Senate,
or hrcd to nobisr deeds Of daring his
warning lesions, is hushcd forever.
Cola and pale is the check that nov
err blanchcd in danger, closed the
eye that never quailed to human fee.
There above heart that never be-
trayed friSnd--thero above heart
that was never false to public or to
private trust, is folded, white in
death, hand that knew no bride,
and that ever disdained to enrich
ItsOlt with his country gOiu'
There, with their strange and
matchlsss music ended. sre closed at
last those lips that we're never
married by falsehood, were never
stained with blasphemy, and ever
sweet With silence for his bittercst
foe.
Gone out IS tho splendid light
Ended the noble career To yoa
and l nothing is left but the legacy
of his memory, aud his example,
And while We may not hope, Mr.
Chairman, to rival his fame, yet
with The lofty incentive which such
a life must ever inspire, let US strive
with stesdfast purpose TO initiate his
deeds and to emulate bis virtues.

1t is he supposition that they were
