SOCIAL FALsEHoops.
A Delicate Subject Discussed - n
 Trut1a Alone IL RfghtcouMneaa.

OG1lG0le 0uOyGCt OAoc000C0 - AA1
 Truth Alone Is Rfghtc0usness.
 This subject often is somewhat mis- understood. Dangerous although every departure from absolute truth may be, circumstances certainly alter cases. For instance, when a lady who does not wish to receive callers instructs her maid to say that she is tout, :" although
 she is in the house, no lit is involved, because it is understood generally that | the reply need not mean absriit from the premises, but may mean tliat one is not Ut home to visitors. IS better to say that one is engaged and this ex- pression is coming into coiGmon use. Yet there is no falsehood ill the othcrin social circles, where the meaning of such terms is known, any more than there is faIsehood in speaking of the revolution of the sum naround this earth. There arc occasions, also, when one may divcrgc from cxact truth i'll the sense of not telling the whole of it. Sometimes needless or actually imper- tincnt questions are asked by some one who has no right to the knowledge which il correct reply would convey, I.when 10 answer fully would betray trust, yet when not tonnswer atall or to evadc would be equivalent to declar- ing everything. Then, although no ut tcrancc may be madc which is not true so far as it goes, tits Legitimate to dis criminate il, replying SD far as to re- fuse to say more than is inevitable. But the neet!lessand often absurd ex-
 sggcrations which are so common in conversation, the flatteries which are
 intended to tickle the scif-conceit of
 those to wlioni they are offered and are
 not heartily believed Ey those who ut- ter them, and the excuses which we
 make for u,g selves while perfectly aware that they are only true in part,
 if at all-how can frank and honest
 spirit regard these with anything but
 shame?
 Sociai usage never can justify false
 hood. although, as we have said, it may
 so modify conditions as to remove the
 falscncss from statement untrue in mere form. Tn respect to falscliood, as to other matters the spirit rather than the form is the vital thing. False pre-
 lenses n speech or in manner of life
 are degrading mud sinful. In--tFnth nlone. ill speiet y eFSont If it. are dig nifty, safety. peace and hpnor. Iltruth alone is righteousness Congregation alist

life than he was. Now that inc cookies of his heart had been warmed up, he was most interesting, indeed. In one engagement he had had q hand-to-hand conflict with one of the enemy. which had been ended by his plunging his bayonet through the breast of his opponent. The life-blood had srurted ont of the victims mouth into the very face of the victor, and the terrible coughing sob which had e,..ded the life was described in such a way as 10 chill the hearers. At another time, the veteran said, be- coming separated in some way from his command. he had been charged by one of the enemy on coal-blacls steed. The rider made at him, saber uplifted, to cut him down as he ran. Unarmed, panic-stricken, alone, with na1ght to | depend on, it seemed as if his time had certainly come. Fleeing blindly away from the approaching death, with the roar of the snorting steed in his ears, and imagining he felt the steam from the nostrils OF his bare neck, he lad almost caught the sweep of the de- scending sword The veteran was in q terrible plight. A second had passed, when q shot was heard, a cheer, and something instinctively told him to look around. Turning his head in an agony of fear, the veteran had seen his pursuer tumble from his horse head long, with bullet in his brain.
 "That was close shave. boys" the veteran said. "It didn't come as near making me leave the army, though, as something else did. I'll tell you how it was.''
 The little group of listeners felt that the most thrilling story of all was now to be related, and drew closer to the story-teller.
 T was on guard duty one night. l had been detailed to watch the river bank, with several others. Patrollints up and down, we had heard the sound of muffled osrs, and oyerhauled the per sons iEf~the boat, and the contents, when they reached shore.
 sIt was cold winter night, just the times a drop of the creature would have done the most good. That boat was loaded with jugs of whisky. some of the finest I ever smelt. The owner had kept it for ten years or more, and thought he was moving to q safe place. Strict orders had been issued on the subject of liquor, and we had to do our duty.
 Tt almost broke my heart to see that liquor spilled on the ground, and Inever before realized so strongly the awful aeprivations of q soldier life. Itell ye, l came near deserting."
 There was q long silence. broken by one of the party remarking: War is indeed terrible thing.
 "It's times of peace. now, boys, the old veteran remarked, and the hint was taken.-W Washington Star.

 Miss Laura Cornell, Of Hills neighborhood, died last Thurs day. She was taken sick one day and died the next. It was said by the doctors to be one of the most malignant cases of hemorrhage from the kidneys that they ever saw. She was taken with spasms and only lived a short while. Miss Laura had just entered wo- manhood and was a nice, pretty years. We offer heartfelt sym pathy to the heart-broken mother.
 Two of our soldier boys have come home-Wiley Winston and Will Strickland. Will looks well but Wiley looks bad--he has been sick. These two boys say . that that they fared fine and that they have no reason to complain that they had good attention and that they had good food and plen- ty of it. It is just as I have said all the time as regards the awful reports that we saw--that most of it was all bosh and 1 did not be- lieve the half of it. Now, 1 know whereof speak, for l have been soldier and know while some of the boys are making awful It ports, others of the same company and regiment were just as gay as Iarks and if you follow these com planners and fault-fnders to then homes, you will find that they are not much pumpkins at home.

Cift of ODportunity,

An unpleasant or difficult duty is a large opportunity. Strength comes through self-conquest. but there is no conquest where there is nothing tV overcome.
