Anfionn Rarely Lie.

There goes an old proverb, "At times
nothing Is falser than figures and notn-
ing more unjust than exact legal JUS
tice." So at times we have seen men
become thieves though they could not
be arraigned in the criminal court.
We have seen men become liars though
by the Language of action" they
could not be proved perjurers before
any legal tribunal. One day, about a
year before Abraham Lincoln was nom-
mated at Chicago Mr.. Lord entered
the law office Of Lincoln & Herndon
and heard a conversation between
Honest Abe" and one Of his clients.
This conversation closed in the follow
ing way: Eyes, we can doubtless gain
your case for you. We can set the
whole neighborhood at loggerheads.
We can distress a widowed mother and
her six fatherless children and thereby
get for you six hundred dollars, to
which you seem to have legal claim,
but which rightfully belongs, 1t ap-
pears to me. as much to the woman
and her children as 1t does to you. You
must remember that some things le-
gally right are not morally right. We
shall not take your case, but will give
you a little advice, for which we shall
charge you nothing. You seem to be
sprightly, energetic man. We would
advise you to try your hand in making

Gods holy Sabbath? How dare you,

you gleefully boast Of those sins about
