Speak the Truth Always.


Hearing a young lad telling what
might have been called a "white lie''
the other day, and after Il little, the
truth being divulged, he was made
to feel so thoroughly uncomfortable,I
would say word on truthfulness to
the young people who sometimes are
SO careless about what they tell. To
hear them talk, one would think that
to call black white, every day of their
lives, was of not the slightest conse-
quence.
The stories they tell have only
grain Of fact to every pound Of Fiction,
and when, on account of it, they get
into "trouble," there is no other way
to screen themselves-they think
but to invent some other falsehoOd.
Haven't you seen such? Oh! how
much better to tell the truth at first.
NOw-and l want you to note it
there never yet lived any good man
or woman either in the world who
was not remarkable for truthfulneSs.
This was the most conspicuous thing
about them, the very foundation Of
their characters. Their word could
be relied upon for the least thing,
and everybody felt trust and conf
dence in them.
The boy who tells falsehoods has a
very low mind, and there is no end
to the mean things they are capable
of doing. You may trust them as far
as you can and no farther. They go
through life suspected by everybody
and Stunned by every upright per-
son! Who likes the cold shoulder
turned upon them? No one.
Truth forever, then, say we! Let
us speak, ever and always, downright
honest truth, and then we shall be
trusted everywhere and wherever
ave go.
Many falsehoods are about such
very little things, too; hardly worth
mentioning, you say. Is it so? These
trifling matters, remember, often
grow to be the most serious of all. i
we are found in little falsehoods
people will naturally suspect US or
great occasions. Perhaps you have
read OF the boy in the fable, who
ruined his reputation by calling
"Wolf! wolfw when there was none
He would have got quite as bad {
reputation if he had told any othel
lie!
Pride induces many persons to tel
al untruth. They wish to appea
better than they are; or spite--to d,
an ill-turn to some one or cowardiC,
or laziness-to be relieved of wOrl
they ought really to do; or ever
greediness-tO get what they do no
deserve!
A falsehood-teller never has al
easy mind. They are always afraiC
of being found out. Every stor,
wrongfully told is an enemy to one
peace, and may be revealed and holt
them up to contemptl
"a liar" says an old proverb
''shOuld have a good memory" ant
how can anyone enjoy happiness il
this life who has always to be taxing
their brains to make their state
ments or stories correspond when re
peated?
Truth is the all-important virtue
the twin-brOther of honesty, and, il
fact, the very foundation of all tn
virtues. 1t is safe to say, a boy VIII
speaks the truth always will grow in
to an honorable, Straightforward
man, and in most cases a successfU
.ORe. Speak the truth then, boy.
and you will win the favor Of Go
and man.

The Pressense Family.

The article on Mime. de Ciasparin in the current number of The Queen news paper is written by the eldest daughter of Edmund de Pressense, the eminent French pasteur, historian and senator, who died a few months ago of cancer in the throat. His wife is n most suc- cessful writer, especially of children's books. The Pressenses are all more or less remarkable. Francis is brilliant leader writer on The Temps and author of work on the Parnellite movement, praised by Mir Gladstone. The eldest daughter married learned Pasteurite, M Bemus, and has seven children. She has inherited great deal of her illustri- ous fathers energy, for besides the care of her large household, she gives lectures on history and literature and contributes to many periodicals.

The Sponge Is Fish with a Stomach.

The Sponge Is Fish with a Stomach.
 The sponge is perhaps one of the most curious of fishes, for fish it is, although several eminent naturalists of the past have maintained that 1t IS not. One naturalist says that the animalcule of the sponge is stomach, without arms, very simple, very elementary-in short, an animal all stomach. The innumer- able canals in the sponge are at once it's digestive organs and breathing pores. If a sponge is broken open it will bc seen that the pores are of two different sizes. In the living state the water con taining the particles of food is constant ly being absorbed by the small holes and is discharged by the larger, the food being retained.
 The number of species of sponges at present known is very large. In 1866 Dr. Bowerbank described nearly 200, and several others have since been dis covered. Sponge fishing at the present time takes place in the Grecian Arehi- pelago. o.-London TtBits.

Winter In Italy.

In Italy in the winter the Italians spread rugs over their floors, hang tap estries upon their walls, pile cushions everywhere, and carpet their sofas with long haired skins; this they call warmth. But fireless room, with the thermome- ter on its walls standing at 35 degs. is not warm, no matter how many cush- ions you may put into it; and one hates to believe, too, that necessary accom- paniments of health are roughened faces and frost bitten noses and the extreme ugliness of hands swollen and red Con. stance r.

upon the Scattered fire and peered in every direction
 "Meowl Meow Sct-t-t,"
 He turned sharply to see the heads of two panther cubs thrust out of the hole near the tree, their ears laid close to their round heads and their eyes sweep ing the scene in fierce inquiry.
 "Ha, ha! A regular family party I've stumbled on," laughed Clyde. "S-s-s! Seek 'em boys!"
 And the dogs pulled one kitten out to his death, while the other scrambled back in the hole.
 Suddenly there was slight noise in the edge of the forest, and two half grown partners came cautiously into the circle of the light, sniifing the air un- easily and evidently afraid of trap.
 The smell of the scorched hair and the binding glare of the fire puzzled them.
 But Clyde did not wait for them to become satisfied of the safety of an at- tack. He fired two shots in quick sue cession, killing one animal and badly wounding the other, which the dogs at- tackled at once.
 When the sharp, short fight was over, one dog limped back to receive the praise of bis master, while the other lay dead beside its dead foe.
 "You and l are alone now, Brave, my boy" said his master, batting the dogs head. "Well, when daylight comes we'll see after that little varlnint in the hole"
 The night passed without further mo- lestation, but Clyde kept the fire burn ing brightly while he busted himself in skinning three of the panthers--the one which had sprung into the fire being worthless.
 Two were monstrous brutes, male and female, evidently the parents of the smaller pair as well as the kittens.
 After generous breakfast of roasted venison he enlarged the hole with his pick and shovel, and, after examining his revolvers, crept in cautiously with a lighted torch, while the dog remained outside protesting against such fool hardy conduct by dismal yelps and whines.
 The cavity under the spreading roots was deserted, but larger opening led into the rocky mountain side, and through this the astonished young man crept, to find himself in a natural cavern.
 He soon discovered and killed the kit ten, but could find no signs of any more.
 The floor of the cave was covered with bones, and q neatly made nest of sticks and leaves was in one corner.
 But Clyde did not notice these; he was examining the rocky sides, which were of peculiar veined grayish stone.
 There was a smile of satisfaction on his face when he had finished this exam ination, and when he crept forth into daylight again he muttered, tweaking Braves ears until the dog yelped in pain and wonder:
 "Queen Bess is mine, Brave. There's gold enough there to satisfy even George Randolf, l should say, and claim it as the panther's bequest."
 George Randolf could say no more, al though he insisted on visiting the pan ther's den to see for himself.
 "Some folks are lucky" he admitted, reluctantly. ''f that mine is worth $10O, ,O00 you can have her, for Randolf never goes back on his word"
 That was only year ago, and the mine has already netted its owner over $j00,000.
 But he regards as a dearer prize the loving wife who rules his heart and home-his Queen Bess.-Saturday Night.

We would respectfully suggest to Gov. Nc
Kinney and the next legislature the name of
Mai. Jed Hotchkiss for this place, If his ser
vices can be secured as being in every way
qualified for the important duties of State

our State Association, of which the Major is
an honored and conspicuous member-take up
the suggestion and advocate it.-Lurdy

knowledge in Virginia. that presents such

as does Maj. Jed Hotchkiss. 1t would be a
great thing for Virginia if she could get
him. But we are afraid it will be the
old story The Major is at the head of a
rich and growing town company with big
future before it, and it would he hard to
separate him from it. The company would
doubtless offer him thousands to retain
him. where Virginia legslature-if it is
after the old established pattern-would
offer only hundreds to get him. 1t seems
to be fact that the Improvement enter

pretty nearly cleaned up the field in Viz
