The person who speaks'con cern ng any occurrence, facts or person, should always spenk the truth, because be can, with the aid of his senses, bare bat a circumscribed knowledge of it. Therefore he is un der the necessity of putting reliance upon others for much °ethic; knowledge;, and often. ho must depend entirely upon' the ipse dint of one individual. Now. consider for but s moment how! vast and important concerns of life; hang upon those wards which pea be-, tweon individuils, and then you cannot but perceive bow enmities, embarrass ments, breaking np of social circles, and other evils, may often ensue upon a few' words spoken, perhaps carelessly. As' speaking the truth is n virtue of no or-, dinars merit, so a liar is held in the ut-: most contempt. Even the most dew*, ded regard it is a great disgrace to be' charged with lying. The liar always, resorts, to this vice in order to promote. his interests in some way; or else to in- , jure wine one at whom lie has some' spite ; oftentimes these two motives are' combined. No man ever yet, for a laudable end, told a lie—it was always to gain a stealthy pace upon some unsus peoiing victim by dishonest and dishonora ble means. Both natural and divine law obvious ly forbid wilfl,l fuslehood. Why should men or boys lie? It rarely happens that the lie is successful. Tho liar is generally detected, and even if not, is as injurious to him. Suppose him to escape both detection and suspicion— ho lives in constant fear that his secret will out. If ho keeps the secret, still he he'd; that he is a liar. He therefore soon loot., like ono. if no motive grea ter than self-interest prompted a man I to speak the truth, this should be enough ; because the man who is known •• Ili fi canuot.bellelltokiltite speaks the trattcind tie moment sifter he has left the social circle, nil join in despising him. In the courts of jnstiee, his reputation for lying follows liim,tecause ho who ill not speak the. truth in the common affairs of life, can 'easily be influenced in higher matters--twolve impartial persons will set his testimony aside.— Whatever the object be, lying generally fails. If it be to wyerg an innoecat man by a false charge, ho falls into tho hands of the law for malice—or else is devised by the community at large.— ' If every *rimiest! _enclosed within our State's, or other prisons, were asked, what was yotrfirststepfrons innocence and purity?

The heroism of the battle-field is kept up by bass drums, clarionets and praise from the newspapers. Such heroism may or may not boa matter of principle, hut there is no questioning the courage required in the prosaic du ties of life—the bringing up a family by bhedding perspiration at the rate of ten cents an hour, is heroism. A Gallant Act Recently, at Montevideo, whilst a French frigate was returning an Amer ican salute, ono of the gunners had his arm blown off. As soon as the fact was known in the American squadron a sub senption for him was started, which produced among ten ships, the very handsome sum of 81,400. Upon its re mission to him the French Admiral ad dressed to the American, ono of those charming little notes, so graceful in thh French language, but which a transla tion can hardly reproduce, and in which be .said that although degrees of lati tude and longitude might bind the geo graphical Inuits of Our sotatry and de tcriptoo tho .allegianoilipriSirsed to its flag, there were no nub conAnce to the generosity of the American sailor.

First, there are walled up hearts, and these aro of two kinds; about one kind the wall is high and strong, and to surmount it is a work of extreme difficulty; but if you can get inside, you have entered Eden. Fragrant, and sweet, and fair as the vision seems in dreams is that enclosed garden, and it Is worth hard labor to gain admission there. Tho other has a wall na high and strong, and full as hard to get over; and when at last, with torn flesh and dislocated joints, you have scaled it,you wish you hadn't, for there is nothing inside but rocks and cold water. Tho trouble with these two descriptions of hurts is, that 'tis impossible to distinguish the ono from tho other until you have almost worn yoursolfout in mounting the walls. Another kind of heart is that which, likring nothing to fence.it in, lies open to the passage of all men and cattle—a waste, unfruitful field, of no rise to any body, and less to tho owner. But there is another kind of heart—a rare crea tion, but a real one—whose wall is low, and almost Ina b flowers. The birds their nest n it, and sing as they swing upon its swaying twigs and fes tooning vines. Beyond the wail, itself a Using of fragrance, beauty, and joy, lie the enchanting gardens. Delightful bowers invite the way:worn traveler to enter and repose. Spirits of love and beauty beckon the sad and lonely ones to the feast of soul, and a charmed light and glory hover in the whole joyous air. This is the tree typo of heart. Steam Doctoring. Some years ago, a bill was before the Alabama Legislature for establishing a Botanical Medical College at Wetump ka. Several able speakers had made long addresses in support of tho bill, whon one,- Mr. Morrisette, from Mon roe, took the floor. With much as sumed gravity, ho addressed the House as follows : Mr. Speaker,—l cannot support this bill unless assured that a distiqguished friend of mine is made one of the pro fessors. Ire is what that college wishes to make for us—a regular fool doctor, and will suit the place exactly. He be came doctor in two hours, and it only cost him twenty dollars to complete his lie bought a book, sir, and read the chapter on foyers, and that wit.' enough. He was called to see a sick woman once, so lie tncked his book under his arm, and off ho started. She was a very sick woman, indeed, and he felt her wrist, looked in her mouth, and then turning to the husband, asked solemnly, if he had a sorrel sheep ? " Why, no; I never hoard of such a thing," viola the man. " Woll, there is such things," said the loctor, nodc:ing his head quite know ingly. " 'live you got a sorrel horse, then F" "Yes," said the man, "I drove him to mill this bloomed morning." " Well," said the doctor, "ho mist, be killed immediately, and soup made of him fbr your wife." The woman turned her head away, and the astonished man inquired, "If something else would not de for soup?
