1t used to be that teachers felt it
their duty to instruct youth that it
must tell the plain, unvarnished truth
at all hazards. and it took humanity
the better part of their lives to find
that perfect veracity is a boomerang
that generally flies back and annihi-
lates the one who hurled it at society
As matter of fact, no virtue is so
over-praised as truth. No living per-
son could hear the truth about himself

of Gains, with every mans hand raised
against mis- brother.
Nobody else on earth is so disagree
able as the person with the strenuous
conscience who feels called upon to
tell the truth in season and out of sea
son, and anything that tends to dimin-
ish their number and substitute an
agreeable prevaricator instead is moth

is nothing but the velvet with which
we soften and drape the angles of life.
