THE EVILS OF FALSEHOOD.
RY LESTER D. PUCKETT.
In contemplating the subject which has
been chose a lor consideration, it, may he oh.
served, that there i* nothing that is so cen
sured and that, withal, is so universally prac
ticed. a* falsehood. For what is common
fame, which sounds from all quarters of the
globe and echoes to them again, hut a tissue
of exaggerations ? Many histories of coun
tries that have been written, and. perhaps,
received as authentic, are. in a measure, un
true. and consequently, convey wrong impres
sions to posterity. What are many of the
promises that are made, hut idle words, of
which we need no other proof than our own
experience? Even the oath is regarded as n
mere. form, and its sacred obligations are in
many instances not sufficient to extol the
truth. * Among Christians too. are there not
those who teach what they know to he un
true. and prostitute the Holy Bible to their
wicked purposes ? A falsehood is ever at
variance with truth, and unlike it, receives
success and adds increments in its progress;
and to the prevalence of this evil, may he as
cribed, in some part, the true source of most
of those confusions and dire calamities that
infest and plague the universe. A falsehood
is an outward signification of something con
trary to. or at least, other than the inward
sense -of the inind ;so that when one thing
is signified or expressed, anot her is meant or
intended. And as God has endowed man
with power to institute signs of his thoughts,
and, as by reason of this power, he can make
not. only words, but also things, actions and
jf'stures. the signs of the inward thoughts and
conceptions of his mind, it is evident that he
mav as really deceive by actions and jestures
as he can by words. The nature of a lie,
therefore, consists in this, it is a false impres
sion. knowingly and voluntarily used. Pla
to accounted it lawful for statesmen and gov
ernors. and so did Cicero and Plutarch; and
the St iocs, as some say. reckoned it among
Ihe perfections and arts of a wise man to lie
dexterously m due time and place. A per
nicious falsehood was, and is. universally
condemned by all. So you see it is absolute
ly wrong to deceive or falsify. It. is also sin
ful in its very nature. Falsehood first intro
duced sin into the world. For, what caused
our first parents to sin and lose their primi
tive innocence? Why. they were deceived ;
the subtlety of the devil brought them to be
lieve wiiat was untrue. And, indeed, decep
tion is the very essence and nature of sin ;
there being no sinful action that is not cover
ed by the mantle of falsehood and deception.
'This evil prevails upon the soul, by represent
ing something suitable and desirable that is
not really so. A man may be induced to
falsify from vain belief, that he shall find hap
piness and profit, but the wages which he is
paid is pain, sorrow, and above all. the loss
of his eternal soul. He that would under
stand thoroughly, falsehood, with its vast train
of evils, must compare its promises with its
rewards. (Jeograpliers and historians dividing
the habitable world into thirty parts, give us
this account of them ; but five of them are
Christian: six Jew and Mohammedon.
and the remaining nineteen are heathen ;
which Satan holds and governs by deception,
and by his evils they are kept under the influ
ence of false religion. Another effect of
falsehood, is much of the misery and calami
ty that befall mankind. What betrayed and
delivered the poor old prophet into the lion's
month, Imt the words of a false prophet, cru
el and remorseless ? What caused John I hiss
and others to be so cruelly and falsely used
by the Council of Constance, those ecclesias
tical commissioners of the court of Rome ?
What caused so many bonfires to be made in
Queen Mary’s days ? Nothing else, except
that site deceived and abused the people with
falsehoods; promising them the free exercise
of their religion before she came to t he throne,
and when she was in power she performed her
promise to them at the stake. An endless
task would it be to enumerate all instances
o4th% nature.
Having seen to how great an extent false
hood disturbs, so, in the next place, it may be
noticed, how it utterly tends to dissolve soci
ety. There is no doubt, but that all the safe
ty and happiness that is to be enjoyed in this
life, is from the organization of men intocom
rritenities or societies, tlie cause of which is
compact; and the cement that binds and
joins together all compacts, is truth and faith
fulness. So, that the principle that animates
and keeps up society is mutual trust., the
foundation of which is truth, either known or
supposed in the persons trusted. But when
fraud and falsehood, like a plague or canker,
comes to invade society, the land which unites
the parts of which it is composed is broken ;
no longer does the compact exist: and na
tions are divided into petty provinces, each
incapable of self-protection and at the mercy
of more powerful neighbors.
Again, falsehood often poisons that divine
thing called friendship. So. that when inan
thinks that he has a friend as true and lov
ing as the most “affectionate." he finds that
lie relies upon a broken reed—that not only
basely fails, but pierces the hand that rests
upon it. It is from this, that when a man
thinks he has a friend and a defendant, a de
fense of his person and property, he finds a
traitor and a Judas, “an enemy that eats his
bread and lies under his roof,” and perhaps,
more ready to do him an injury and a foul
wrong than an open professed adversary, lie
that contends with a liar knows not what he
depends upon, nor what he is doing, nor with
whom he deals. Deceit and falsehood, of
all other bad qualities, most peculiarly indis
pose the hearts of men to the impressions of re
ligion. For these are evils, perfectly spirit
ual, and so occupies the proper seat and place
of religion—which is the soul or spirit; and
when that is filled with and is the abode of
falsehood, there is. in most eases, hardly room
or admission of truth. The reward of lying
is an utter loss of all esteem and confidence
with good and discreet persons : and conse
quently the loss of all capacity to be useful
in the prime and noble concerns of life.—
There can hardly he imagined a more useless
and contemptible tool, more unfit for any
thing in life than an habitual liar. Further,
let all rest assured of this, that there will al
ways be some, as able and industrious, to find
out and expose falsehoods, as others are to
contrive them. Truth makes the face of a
person beam who speaks and is not ashamed
to own it; while a lie is like a begird that may
cover the face indeed, but can never become
if ; nor does it cover it so but it leaves an ex
pression of shame. It brands a man with a
lasting and indellible character of ignominy
and reproach, and so disgraceful and odious
that many “arrogant Hectors,” who pretend
to honor without religion, think the charge of
being called a liar a blot upon their name,
not to he removed but by the blood of him
who makes the charge. What place can a
liar fill in society; he being a man whom no
body will either believe or employ ? Notnan
can be considered to have performed his part
well in life who has not made himself use
ful to others. If we closely observe persons
uttering falsehoods, we will generall}' sec in
their countenances a false expression and
such a slv treacherous bleer upon their faces,
that by clo* c observation, we will be sure to
have a cast of their eye to warn us as they,
of serpent-!ike nature, are in the act of betray
ing and deceiving us. In such cases, a man
may see better by other’s than he can by his
own eve. There is nothing morecorntempti
ble in its character or that tends to produce
worse results than habitual lying. In con
clusion. let me say that the ultimate reward,
that will infallibly reach the liar, as it will
all other evil doers, is a final and eternal sep
aration from God, who is truth, and with
whom there is no shadow of falsehood.

Temperance is Essential to Business,
Knowledge and Happiness.
liv DU. I. o. HUNT, STONEWALL LODOE, I. 0.0.
TANARUS., JEFFERSON, GA.
Worthy Chief and Mkairers:—Accord
ing to the appointment of your committee, I
stand recorded ns speaker on the present
occasion, and like many who have preceded
me, I coinc before you with an apology. My
time and attention have been so much en
grossed by business and business affairs, that
I have not had the opportunity of giving much
thought to the subject. The subject of Tem
perance has been so variously and thoroughly
dismissed, that it is a very difficult matter to
adduce any new argument, or to present any
new feature in the cause.
Our Worthy Chief, some time since, re
quested me to make some remarks on the ap
plication of temperance to business, therefore,
under this head—Temperance being essen
tial to business, knowledge and happiness—
I shall make my remarks to-night.
In the first place, let us see what business
means. Business, in one sense, means em
ployment or serious engagement in distinc
tion from trivial transactions. In its ordina
ry acceptation, it implies employment in
some useful affairs, for the purpose of profit
or improvement. It is also a general term
for the occupations that engage the daily
time, attention and labor of mankind ; it
denotes self-denial of ease—l deny myself all
pleasure and self-indulgence for the sake of
business. Man is a compound of body and
mind ; his nature is a complexity of the ani
mal and the spiritual, the physical and the
intellectual. The gratification of his material
wants is the object of business: science and
literature aid his intellectual growth. 'Flic
temperate business man cultivates, manufac
tures, gathers together and distributes those
things by which the body is cherished and
adorned : the sober scholar originates, collects
and furnishes food for the mind. Whether
the office of the latter is of more importance
to society than the former—whether the mird
is superior to the body, is a useless enquiry,
as both are necessary to the existence of a
human being. A body without a mind, is a
corpse ; a spirit, without a body, is a fright
ful spectre. In determining a man’s conduct
and destiny, too, the body has frequently as
much influence as the mind, and he who as
pires to be master of his actions, must pay
due attention to the temperate regulation of
both. Falstaff would have been as abstemi
ous at the banquet, as a hermit, and as firm in
battle as a hero, if he could have gained the
consent of his depraved appetite for the bowl
at the festival and the control of his legs in
the fight, lie that strives for the masterv
must join a sober, well disciplined body, to
a temperate and well regulated mind; for
with mind and body, as with man and wife,
it often happens that the stronger vessel is
ruled by the weaker, but in moral as in do
mestic economy, matters are best, conducted
where neither party is unreasonable, hut both
are perfectly temperate and well agreed.—
Happiness is anticipated at the close of busi
ness, if that business is successful, and Tern
perance is a strong aid to success. Tempe
rance is a source of happiness in various
ways; its practice engages, invigorates and
enlarges the mind ; its usefulness promotes
self-reapect and increases the power of doing
what the head conceives and the heart do
sires to make a man respectable, useful and
happy. The history of our race is the record
of a long and fruitless chase after happiness.
Men have traversed the whole cycle of ima
ginary good in search of it; they have sought
it in ambition, fanaticism, in the supposed
pleasure in the cup. in action, repose, science,
philosophy and at the bloody shrines of pa
ganism, in the lap of luxury and dissipation ;
yea, they have invoked the spirits to teach
them happiness, but like the remorse-strick
en hunter of the Alps, have been answered.
! it is not in our essence—it is not in our skill.
Philosophy was summoned at an early day
to point out the way : for many years, she
preached to men to elevate their minds by
stimulants, above physical comforts ; to con
demn all useful improvements and to seek
their happiness in the study of abstract sci
ence, by heated imagination and speculation ;
but, alas! it was impossible to solve insolva
ble enigmas, or attain unattainable frames of
mind. This was about, the time the Arabi
ans discovered Alcohol, but they had no
name for it. and judging from its immediate
effects on the human system, it was thought
to increase life ; hence, it was called Aqua
Vitae, water of life. Speaking of its sanitive
powers, one writer says, “it strengthened
youth, it, sloweth age. it helpeth digestion, it
drivetli away melancholy, it lighteneth the
mind, it quiokenKh the spirits, it enliveneth
the heart, it kcepeth the hands from shaking,
the teeth from rattling, the tongue from stam
mering, the e3'es from dazzling, and the head
from whirling,” and in short, they claimed B
to be a panacea, for all diseases of mankind.
But, after many years, a different doctrine
was taught. The multiplication of human
enjoyments and the mitigation of human
suffering were held up as the only aim worthy
of the highest exercise of the intellect and
the invention of things useful, to be studied
by purely temperate minds. And in so far
as happiness depends on the earnest, energetic
engagement of the mind in any pursuit, on
personal freedom, on good laws, on increased
duration of life, on the mitigation of pain,
on improvements in the healing art; on the
comforts and convcniencesof life, temperance
has ever been active in contributing to the
happiness of mankind. It is a matter of
deep regret, that so many of those who are
fitted by nature and education to be profit
able instructors of mankind, have so often
prostituted their talents by strong drink, un
til they have become so sordid, low, base and
selfish, that they are unfit for society or any
kind of business. I say it is to be regretted,
because it does not only tend to lower their
individual character in the estimation of the
public, but the character of any business they
may be connected with ; for many who arc i
engaged in business and are in the habit of
dissipating, think of not much else, but ac
commodating themselves to the course of
conduct pointed out by their seared con
science and stupified brain, until misfortune
overtakes them, then they will attach the
blame, the cause of their failure, to those
who have dealt with them and to the business
as 11011-paying, when, in fact, if they had con
ducted it properly and soberly, the result
would have been a success.
In the literature of all countries and aIT
ages, idleness has ever been held up as the
parent of vice and intemperance. A sober,
busy man, says an old proverb, is troubled
with but one devil, but an intemperate idle
inan with a thousand. Sober, industrious
men are usually tempted by the devil, but an
idle, intemperate, profane man, I really be
lieve, positively tempts the devil. But if
idleness were a virtue, it is impracticable;
mind cannot exist inactively; it must be
engaged in something good or evil, while the
body is awake. The body too, is framed for
action, and without it, becomes lax. weak,
and sinks into decay. In what, then, can
body and mind be better engaged, than in
the noble cause of Temperance, in raising
up the fallen, and befitting them for some
useful employments, that afford both an
agreeableVxercise and cures the ground of
the curse that fell upon it, and cause the des
olate homes of the inebriates to breathe and
bloom again with the flow%rs and fruits of
Paradise? What will more contribute to
general or individual happiness? Is it reli
gion or temperance? Religion is an essen
tial element of happiness, without it a man
cannot enjoy any real happiness, though he
rnay have the intellect of a Milton, and the
wealth of a Croesus. The happiness of an
irreligious, intemperate man who, neverthe
less, believes in the existence of a Great
First Cause—in the immortality of the soul—
in the truth of the Christian revelation—is
that of a criminal under sentence of execu
tion, or of him who stands totteringly on the
edge of an abyss into which a breath of wind
may plunge ln’lll. He feels the weight of an
impending doom, he has no resource in afflic
tion—he finds no consolation in his bottle,
but is plunged deeper in misery and woe.

A Blighted Life.
A few mornings since a Philadelphia mn.
tron called to see her young married daugh
ter. who resides on North Thirteenth street,
and found her weeping bitterly.
“ Oh. mother, t ake me home. My heart
is broken.” sobbed the daughter, throwing
herself into her mother's arms.
After her tears had somewhat subsided,
the mother said :
“Hardly a year married, and here I find
von in tears. What does it mean ? Has
Henry been unkind to you ?”
“No,” sobbed the daughter, “but he don’t
love me any longer, and my heart is break
ing.”
“ Come, come child, cheer up. Tell me
why you think him untrue to 3*oll. Does he
show it ?”
“Yes.” was the heart-broken reply.
“Oh, the scoundrel! Oh. the viper,” gasp
ed the mother. “My poor child.” she fairly
sobbed : “3-011 r mother won’t desert you
She'll bring that villain to his knees. What
insult has lie offered you iny child? Speak,
tell me the worst.”
“ Oh. mother, I can’t.”
“You must, my child. Tell me, though
the heavens fall, what outrage has he com
mitted ?”
“He swore last night when I put my cold
feet to his back,” sobbed the daughter.
“ Is that all ?’’ gasped the mother.
“ Yes, but he never did so before. All last
winter lie never said a word when 1 put my
cold fee* to his back, and now I know lie
dosen’t love me; and then the poor girl’s
tears broke out afresh.
Before the mother left she managed to con
vince her daughter that all the world was
hollow, and that the hollow of a man’s back
was not the place for his wife’s cold feet.
John Boughatn, in his “Birds and Poets,”
tells the best story, illustrative of a boy’s
proneness to tell, and bis calm confidence in
the power oT a lie, we ever read. A teacher,
after long and patient watching, catches a
boy eating an apple in school, a misdeed he
had frequently committed and as repeatedly
lied out of. “Ah, ha,” exclaimed the teach
er. “I’ve caught, you at it this time.”—
“Caught me at what?” asked the hoy, in
conscious innocence. "Eating that apple.”
“Ain’t eatin no apple.” The astonished
i teacher compelled the hoy to open his month,
and a great slab of apple was extracted there
| from. “ Didn’t know it was there,” sturdily
asserted the .boy.
Little boy—“ Please, I want the doctor to
come and see mother.” Servant—“ Doctor’s
out. Where do you come from ?” Little
boy—“ What! Don’t yon know me ?” Why,
we deal with you. We had a bab3* from here
last week.” —Loudon Fun.
“How many children have 3-011?” asked
one friend of an old acquaintance. “Well, I
have five, but they were eating cucumbers
when I left home, and they may be all dou
bled up now.” —Oil Citi / Cull.
“I’apa.” asked a boy, “what is meant by
Paradise?” “Paradise, m3’ son,” replied
the father, “is the latter part of the summer,
when your mother goes on a visit to }’our
grandfather.”— lndiunapoli* Journal.
A Vicksburg man, when drawn on a justice
jury, asked leave to pra3 T that he might be
guided aright, but the justice informed him
that it was usual to find for the plaintiff.
A Chinaman became the father of an Amer
ican born son, and as he danced about swing
ing his pigtail, he said : “Me Melican man,
all samee. Medieap Washington. Me light
ning rod agent. Go ’way, Whoopee !”— San
Francisco Chrarticle.
Goldsmith's Greece,” was ask
ed of the clerk in a store in which books and
various articles were sold. “No,” said the
clerk, reflectively, .“we haven't ‘Goldsmith's
Greece,’ but wc have some splendid hair-oil."

It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff*. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
