Lying.

It is said of Dr. Johnson that he always talked as though he were talk ing an oath. He detested the habit of lying or prevaricating in the slight est degree and would not allow his servants to say he was not at home if he was. "A servants strict regard for the truth" said he, must be weak ened by such a practce. If I accus- tom my servant to tell a lie for me, have I not reason to apprehend that he will tell it for himself?" A strict adherence to truth the doctor consid- cred as a sacred obligation, and in re- lating the smallest anecdote he would. not allow himself the minutest addi- ton to embellish his story.
