SURE, WE'RE ALL LIARS.

A preacher came at newspaper
man in this way: You editors do not
tell the truth. If you did you could
not live; your newspapers would be
failures. The editor replied: You are
right, and the minister who will at all
times and under all circumstances,tell
the whole truth about his members,
alive or dead, will not occupy his pull
pit more than one Sunday, and then
he will find it necessary to leave town
in hurry. The press and the pulpit
go hand in hand with whitewash
brushes and pleasant words, magnify
ing little virtues into big ones. The
pulpit, the pen, and the grave-stone
are the great saint -making triumvi-
rate. And the great minister went
away looking very thoughtful, while
the editor turned to his work, and
told of the unsurpassing beauty of
the bride, while in fact she was. al
homely as mud fence.
